My own anecdotal evidence is myself and many of my peers smoked plenty well under 18 and many of us became successful or reasonably so. the whole moral panic over cannabis use has been overwrought and fraught with bad science. now, would I want my child to use before they were 25? absolutely not. is it a catastrophe if they did? also no.

Why wouldn't you want your child to use before 25?

because the mind is developing and the science isnt conclusive as to the factors that affect that. the original claim, if im understanding this thread, is that all marijuana use before 25 will make you functionally useless. I am refuting that claim with the anecdotal evidence of myself and many of my peers that that is absolutely not the case - hope that clarified things.

What was the average THC content when you were a teen?
