Some of my friends started using cannabis really early
Most of the friends I have now I bet later on towards the end of high school. A good number of my friends are from college, but the few I know from before college I met towards the end of my high school career. This happened after a big falling out between my old group of friends and myself. Honestly it was over a bunch of stupid drama. But at least I was able to fall into another group of friends fairly quickly. It was nice to get acquainted with really cool students for a change. However, this whole group of kids started smoking cannabis barely early. A lot of them were smoking weed when they were in middle school, which is something I wouldn’t ever imagine doing myself. Honestly, I didn’t start smoking cannabis until I was 18. I was technically 17 at the time, but it was a few weeks before my 18th birthday. I have heard that smoking cannabis really early can delay or hamper brain development in children. Basically the brain is still developing until sometimes you’re as old as 25 to 28 years old. So any cannabis use and an early age is going to affect the normal course of brain development in a person. Even though I waited until I was essentially 18 years old to smoke cannabis, I probably still had an effect on my own brain development. I’m just happy that I didn’t do it as early as some of my friends because they were really young when they started using marijuana.
