I continued a lot of that drug use after getting out.
I met Jesus in 1981 and stopped smoking reefer after about 15 years of late teens to early thirties usage.
So ...
I will attest and affirm that what this article is saying is true.

I have a friend who has been smoking marijuana and has been an occasional user of other drugs since she was 18. She admits that it has made her “dumber”, but she doesn’t care. Now, the drugs have made a mess of her family and caused her husband to divorce her.
She started smoking marijuana more heavily after suffering a back injury a couple of years ago, and started growing her own. She couldn’t resist sharing her stash, though. She shared with a young college student who had been a friend of her son’s and after leaving her house, the young man struck and killed a guy on a bicycle. He ended up spending three and half years in prison upon graduating from college.
Her son is a heroin addict. He blames his addiction on her because she always made drugs sound so cool. She was one of those mothers who used to claim that they would rather see their kids high on marijuana than drunk on beer. Of course she allowed her son and his friends to drink beer in her home when they were teen agers. She never objected to a little marijuana use, either.
Her husband travelled for work and said that every time he came home she was worse, more irresponsible. He finally had enough and filed for divorce. He should have done something a long time ago. My friend is 62 years old and still a doper.
*snort* My sister is a former police officer, now running an Alternative Sentencing program for Drug Offenders. She deals mostly with Meth addicts, since that seems to be the drug of choice, nowadays. But she says she can usually tell at which age someone started smoking pot heavily, because their mental development seems to have been arrested at that point. They think, and act, like perpetual teenagers.
