[quote=Anonymous]I used to live on the West Coast - California. But have many friends in Washington and Oregon. Weed/thc usage has been normalized out west for a very long time. I cannot tell you how many wonderful kids that I've known ever since they were little that have had their lives completely derailed by weed. These were stellar kids at 13 - fun, engaged, smart, curious. And by 17, so many of these kids had their world reduced to wake and bake zombies. Completely unmotivated, lazy, detached, dull. It's the dullness that's really striking. Their spirits have died because they are stoned all the time. These were such clever and lively kids. And now their future is wrecked. Maybe they manage to graduate community college in five years. But they are fundamentally checked out from life. And it's hard to recover when you've thrown away the formative adolescent years to a vape pen.

It's very sad. And like OP, the parents had very permissive attitudes. They are all regretting that now. For young people under the age of 23, THC is an incredibly disruptive drug to normal neurological development. The drug hijacks the brain and changes the neurological reward systems in formative brains. I am all for legalization, but not for anyone under 23. It's been a quiet tragedy in many families.
