Heavy, persistent pot use linked to economic and social problems at midlife

[DigitalDrifter]

Whaaaaaaaaaaa, me worry ?

A research study that followed children from birth up to age 38 has found that people who smoked cannabis four or more days of the week over many years ended up in a lower social class than their parents, with lower-paying, less skilled and less prestigious jobs than those who were not regular cannabis smokers. These regular and persistent users also experienced more financial, work-related and relationship difficulties, which worsened as the number of years of regular cannabis use progressed. The study, conducted by an international team of researchers led by Magdalena Cerdá at the University of California, Davis, Health System, and Avshalom Caspi and Terrie Moffitt at Duke University, appears ...

Observing friends and family tells me that. No study needed. All my nieces and nephews smoke weed, they have a super bright future awaiting them. I tried my best to steer them away from that life but no luck. Young people are always dumber than dirt and always will be.

Some people smoke tobacco for decades and never develop cancer, some drink most of their lives with little or no damage to their bodies, etc. Heck, you can almost always find an octogenarian who still has a cigar and a martini every day. The purpose of a study like this is to look at the impact a substance has on the population as a whole, not just a few individuals. Children who grow up in single parent homes, for example, are at greater risk for many problems later in life than kids with both a mom and dad, but many kids with single parents do well. In this case, as in many cases, an exception doesn't disprove the rule.

I have smoked for 14 years.
I am 30, my truck and bikes are paid for, my house will be payed off in a few years, y family needs nothing and we eat great and have new clothes on our backs.
It depends on the person, is my point. If a person lets pot run their life, they were probably destined for failure anyways.
