How weed can make life harder
Getting high before your mid-20s can actually impact how your brain develops and functions. Those physical and chemical changes can make life feel like even more of a struggle.
Weed can make it harder to learn and remember things. You could forget memories, tests, important dates, and who knows what else.
Athlete, musician, or gamer, THC can throw you off. It impacts important motor functions like coordination, balance, and reaction time. Especially when it comes to driving, wait at least 12 hours.
Weed can affect the part of the brain that helps you feel motivated. It can hurt your ambition, drive, and ability to feel satisfied.
THC can mess with how you plan and organize things. That means making decisions, even fun ones, can become more of a struggle.
Regular cannabis use before your mid-20s can affect the amygdala, the part of the brain responsible for processing emotions, anxiety, fear, and stress. This makes it harder to manage stress and anxiety in the long-term.
Individuals who use weed to cope with negative emotions are likely to develop a dependence. This is because frequent weed use can desensitize CB1 receptors in the brain, making it so more THC is needed over time to produce similar effects.
