alright i had to get to a charger
whether your the kid or not.. id rather you ask and honestly be curious than just start chiefing unwilling to look at consequences
imo im a great example.. and there are others on this site
if you read many of my posts (i hope anyway) youll see im not exactly dumb or lazy. im the kind of person thats forgot more than the avg american will learn
i started smoking heavy, heavy meaning ozs a week when i was a sophomore in hs. i left home then to be with my ex wife. i still graduated a year early and went to college free.. excelled btw, found a career in drug design. and am highly respected by my peers, blah blah
ive conducted many studies through my work about cannabinoid use and am quite knowledgeable on the subject
to say that weed use, wil prevent you from being successful or whatever is far from the truth
however it's not benign..
i also highly doubt he/you uses (we dont care for that word... indulges) a couple times a year
as mentioned it can impair memory formation. one of the biggest problems with its use and academics, much of intelligence is simply memory, of course this is while in relatively high levels and only minimal lasting damage. however daily smokers keep these levels up high enough
i can tell you with complete honesty i wish i hadnt started smoking so young. i can recite entire conversations names phone numbers and events as a child.. however as my cannabis use grew my mind is blank. i cant tell you a single person i knew in late hs. very few in college, little of my favorite memories of my ex wife. and the same is true many years later where i am now
it prevents lasting memory formation. of course it effects everyone to a different degree, and many will disagree but in conducted studies being on the outside looking in effects are evident
if its only a couple times a year i wouldnt be worried. but save that stuff for when youve finished schooling, not when you turn 18 but preferably when done..
i could talk alot about this subject as well as many side effects of cannabis use for a while but
my main point is, as someone else said. theres a better time for this
