I started smoking pot in 5th grade, at 11 years old. I smoked through most of high school and stopped when 17 years old. I have an IQ measured in the high 140’s-low 150’s (depends on the test).
I have known scientists, cops, lawyers, a Chief of Police, Naval Officers, pilots, mothers, fathers, wildy successful business owners and managers and many other successful professionals who smoked pot regularly. None of them had the issues that alcoholics have, except the ones that were also alcoholics.
I remain, based on a life of seeing it honestly and up close, unconvinced of any great harm caused by its use.
An 11 year old smoking ANYTHING is a problem
