[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A friend of mine has a teenager, who suffers from depression and anxiety. She allows him to smoke weed, in order to keep him calm. It is not medically prescribed. How common is it to let your teenager just smoke weed? Is it that big of a deal? I don’t know much about it, I just wanted to get others thoughts on it..[/quote]

I know a guy like this who used weed for this exact purpose as a teen well into adulthood. By 33 he was stoned 24/7 and wound up diagnosed bipolar (based on symptoms I would guess schizophrenic as well but he won’t see a dr regularly). His wife divorced him and I believe he is homeless and couch surfing the last I heard.

I wish I were an anti-weed troll but this is the truth and why I won’t let my kids smoke weed to alleviate mental health problems. They need clinical diagnoses and care or you risk winding up with a spiraling addict.

A healthy, well adjusted teen that uses weed occasionally for recreation is not nearly as big of a deal as one using it to cope with mental health problems. [/quote]
