[QUOTE="tcudoc, post: 2966273, member: 44"] Alcohol abuse takes decades, typically, to destroy a life. The drugs I mention take a few months at most. You can see pretty high functioning alcoholics that are pretty normal citizens to the casual observer. It’s not very often that you see high functioning meth or heroin addicts. I’ve seen fairly high functioning IV fentanyl abusers, but it does not last very long. To me, the big difference between alcohol or THC users and the heroin/fentanyl/meth crowd is that the overall timeline is condensed from decades to months. The thing I worry about with THC in the young crowd is apathy. You don’t see a lot of young people who are regularly using THC who are, at the same time, real go getters in their studies or seeking good career choices. They mostly sit around and get high and play video games. There are exceptions, but a lot of them, when they get preoccupied at a young age by THC, end up in low paying jobs, poorly educated, and dependent on others to take care of them. I think that the chances of ending up like that are less if they were to wait until about age 25 or 30 to start. I have not researched that data to see if it’s really true, it just seems true to me.
