All I know is weed has a detrimental effect on my abilities to reason, comprehend and learn. It also interferes with my memory to such a degree that it I will not be using it anymore. At least for me, I require a fully functioning brain to achieve my goals.
That said I would probably recommend a marijuana addiction over one to alcohol, cocaine, pills etc.

There is no phsyical addiction to marijuana, only a psychological one.
There are permanent side effects when consistently smoked before you were 19. the evidence suggests that your body and brain will not develop at a normal rate if ever. Unlike other drugs you will not die from it, and once you stop your mind will try to repair itself the best way it can, but it doesn't allways happen that way.
And yes breathing in any kind of smoke is bad for you, but moderation is the key. I nomally take a week or two off from smoking, and barely ever smoke joint anymore, vape all the way.

I dont know if theres reports or studies out there but Im pretty sure weed is the cause of my chronic anxiety.
[/quote1302718344]
Not necessarily the cause but it can make it much much worse. Do you have problems sleeping as well?
If you already have a dormant psychological problem it can make you have stronger symptoms and make the problem more predominate but only if you consistently smoke before your 19/20. This is the main reason why I want it legalized, as it really shouldn't be abused by teenagers.

I used to have problems sleeping, that's over with. However,, to this day, I will randomly get hit with sometimes serious anxiety. One time I couldn't drive over the welland canal en route to niagara... had to stop on the highway n switch with my girl
Never had anxiety before I started smokin weed, and I smoked a lot in my late teens

ahhaa anxiety attacks eh, one time i was standing on the subway holding on to the pole in the middle and some other guy in a suit was holding it too, im like this motherfucker is reading my mind through the pole. i got off the next stop staying calm. then I nearly passed out all dizzy and shit cause i couldn't find the stairs to get out, i thought i was in hell trapped on the subway system, then i ran up the stairs in the obvious location and hopped in a cab, made him drive me around in circles making sure no one was following and had him drop me off near my house, acute drug induced psychosis....
for a while after whenever i got high and went on the subway, im thinking to myself, listening to the grinding train sounds, this is hell, sometimes i would hear music in those sounds like real melodies and shit, then i got a mp3 player, i would blast bob marley and i was good riding the subway after that.

Ya see that's pretty intense. I never had one of those, never anything of the paranoia sort. Mine is just straight anxiety - very fast heartrate, short breaths, and that "I have to move" feeling, like just go for a walk or something.
And this all ties into my theory - there are LOTS of effects of smoking weed, just everyone smoking it is "too cool" to come out and admit it, or they're old-timers who just don't give a fuck anymore.
I think if long-time smokers actually did a survey, and answered honestly, results would be REALLY different..

It's all in your head. I went through a "phase", and once i figured out how to beat it, smooth sailing.

The issue is the cannabinoids are different for every plant so it's impossible to generalize like that. You do have a point if avid long time smokers stopped I'm sure they would have much harsher side effects then they think, but nothing life threatening.
The bad stuff is just plain bad, Ette and Pyro got a whiff of some bad stuff I had and they knew it was off just with one sniff. Any long term smoker can just smell the rancid but when your a kid you just wanna have some fun. Reason for legalizing #2, removal of extra shite you don't need in your body/mind, safety first kids.

yeah buck that sounds like acute anxiety attacks not the regular old world-is-ending anxiety everyone has now and again. getting medicine for it is not much help because what's prescribed for that is usually SSRIs which are long-term and could be even more harmful and benzos which are just straight up addictive as fuck.
the issue is that you are letting your environment influence your state of mind. like LB said it's in your mind else why would your brain be signaling adrenaline release? the fight-or-flight response kicks in because you can't convince your mind that there's nothing to be worried about.
the worst part about this kind of anxiety is that the brain freaks out at the first sign of perceived trouble, and that's completely counter-intuitive because if you are in genuine danger you can't react accordingly while you in a panic.
have to learn to control your consciousness in even the most extreme circumstances. imagine those special forces guys storming a beach under the cover of dark to ambush some terrorists or whatever. they have to be mindful of how close they get push the dinghy to shore before cutting the motor, mindful of keeping mud and shit out of the weapon breech, mindful of how the moon affects their visibility, mindful of the best tactical positions to take up on unknown territory versus a dug-in enemy. after keeping all that shit in mind they still have to advance and fight, and they are prepared for it by drill sergeants simulating dangerous situations like drowning and being immersed in cold water to the very brink of death to teach them that such shit could actually happen so they better get used to it and know how to keep their cool if and when it does.
ARE YOU PANICKING YET?!?!

kids shouldn't do drugs because their brains are far more likely to be undergoing chemical changes. for kids who are unfortunate enough to develop schizophrenia during their late teens, to be smoking pot at the same time can be very very bad.
for one thing, you can wind up attributing symptoms as effects of whatever drug(s) you are doing, preventing a proper diagnosis. plus the chemicals your body produces during puberty fuck with your head enough all on their own - no need to add anything to the mix.

I usually get like that BSJ.
I get high and I get hyper. lol I need to move or stimulate my brain or else i start to feel so good when i'm high.
Went through a period of not being able to smoke weed cause i'd freak out.
But lately i have no problem getting high.
Sometimes when your high you just gotta pat yourself on the back and tell yourself your alright just the way you are, in a subtle way of course.

Seems accurate - the people who used it less or stopped using all together after infrequent use probably liked it less than those who smoked more frequently - would be a pretty grim situation if you had a negative view about something but did it frequently, but I suppose that's the pitfall of addiction.

There are permanent side effects when consistently smoked before you were 19. the evidence suggests that your body and brain will not develop at a normal rate if ever. Unlike other drugs you will not die from it, and once you stop your mind will try to repair itself the best way it can, but it doesn't allways happen that way.
And yes breathing in any kind of smoke is bad for you, but moderation is the key. I nomally take a week or two off from smoking, and barely ever smoke joint anymore, vape all the way.

The thing is psychological addictions can be as bad as physical addictions. I've used a wide range of substances such as alcohol, nicotine, benzo's, opioid's, and amphetamine's without ever developing addictions. But that little plant makes me its bitch and if I have it I'll smoke it from the moment I wake up til the moment I pass out.
Moderation is key, but fuck that shit why not just get high all day?
