Ok, I can attest to "early marijuana use causes anxiety later in life"

I started smoking pot when I was about 10, continued untill I got pregnant with my son when I was 20. I was always laid back-no worrys mon. My motto was Hakuna Matatta. I am not going to sit here and say my bulb's the brightest, cause it's certainly not, but in school I was classified as "gifted". Even with daily pot smoking before, during, and after school. However, I was your typical underachiever.


Now, after I had my son I tried to smoke pot a few times, and the paranoia/ anxiety I experienced was horrific. I had always heard that smoking pot caused anxiety, but I never believed it untill then. I don't know if having a child permanently changed my body chemistry, but pot is a no-go for me.
The anxiety also isn't just when I tried to smoke pot either, it's now a constant in my life. At first I just thought that it was new mother nerve syndrome, but my son is quite older know and it's still there. Perhaps it is because I started smoking pot at such an early age?


With that said, I still believe that marijuana should be legalized, at the very least decriminalized, and would make an excellent cash crop. How bout giving some farm subsidies to hemp growers.
