[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are we really clutching pearls at the notion that weed is being smoked on college campuses in the year of our lord 2025? I’m lshocked that some of you Gen X parents live such sheltered lives. [/quote]

Today’s weed is highly linked to schizophrenia when smoked a lot prior to early 20s. Read the copious number of scientific studies on this.

I was a partier in college. I do not want my kids getting into it like that. [/quote]

Why is everyone going off their own anecdotal experiences and relying "I turned out fine" instead of reading current scientific and peer-reviewed data on effects and impact on brain development of pot-smoking in teens/early 20's?  Do you all dislike actual information? [/quote]

Yes today's weed if smoked regularly while brain is still developing - so under 25 - is linked with loss of intelligence/memory/focus and increased risk of schizophrenia. I'm happy all the old potheads from the 90s on this thread are alright, but I've shared the new research with my DD and would rather not be complacent due to the anec-data of some potheads on an anonymous board. There's plenty of actual scientific research to peruse if you're skeptical.

Bottom line: Pot is terrible to use regularly while the brain is still growing (i.e., high school and college). Reduce to occasional use or no use if you don't want to risk that.[/quote]
