    Kids are told to stay away because THC, like most drugs, impacts brain development 😅

    Once you’re 25 your brain is generally considered fully developed. The closer you get to that point the less of an issue it is, but kids shouldn’t be smoking weed all the time, it can impair your brain’s development.

      Yup. Several of the heavy smokers I met in high school ended up “perma-fried” it’s not a guarantee, but it was may more than 1/100.

      Same goes for people who really made drinking a part of their identity in HS and college. It’s not unique to drugs/alcohol, but they are the most talked about substances that can have adverse effects on a developing brain, and are already controlled substances.
