I mean it’s not literally going to kill you but it’s pretty clear that it’s not good for adolescent development and it’s way safer to start at a later age. Just like alcohol. 18 tends to be where things calm down risk-wise. THC dependency/alcoholism are also far more likely with people who start at an earlier age.
I get you don’t have regrets about it but that doesn’t really change anything. Personally I have a lot of anxiety about brain damage (dramatic yes but you get the connection I’m sure), so for me it was an easy to decision to wait a bit.
And before people start getting all pissed off about it, I’m a frequent user of both. I’m not preaching prohibition/abstinence. But people should wait until they’re 18 before they start really using this stuff
