Study-regular pot use in teens can lead to psychiatric disorders as an adult. A study of teens who smoked/used pot regularly as an teenager were more like to wind up with psychiatric disorders as an adult. Could include things like psychosis, bipolar disorder, anxiety or depression. Study tried to take into account those teens with no signs of mental issues because some will say they're just self medicating.

Tell the kids for the grand kids. Modern day pot is not the hippy pot of the 1960s and much stronger.

At least with more legalization and acceptability it's making studying pot use easier.

That is the truth! My oldest son's dad has smoked nothing but pot since he was 20. My son was there when his dad
went to the dispensary for his 1st legal smoke. He said his dad sucked the whole thing down and laid there in a stupor
for a couple hours after he kept telling him "Dad, one or 2 hits then wait awhile" Nah... dad was the weed expert after all.
Son watched his dad and his ...yes addiction to it for years and shakes his head. His dad now is growing his own and rotating.
between the 2 kinds and protects his precious seeds as if they were diamonds.
