      18 is a way more relatable age for casual smoking influence. You can definitely just toke once in a while and be relatively fine. But god damn, did those perma-high friends of mine back in the day really just burn out.

        I was perma high around age 18. Burnout never happened to me and made physics and engineering classes fascinating. I was basically a high functioning pothead right out the gate.

          That may be the case but here’s a possible alternative explanation: you weren’t as high functioning as you thought and were actually working at a disadvantage.

      I mean the later the better for sure. But the risks substantially drop off once you cross 18 compared to under 18.
