[QUOTE="Biscuit, post: 684025, member: 20143"] Having studied pharmacology, I can say there is a huge difference between most Rx anxiolytics and weed : anxiolytics gets you down and weed gets you "high", which is not the opposite of down but something different. The anxiolytic properties of weed are part of a huge stack of effects that heavily differs from people to people. There is also a huge difference between street illegal weed consumption, which involve dealers and no external control, and a consumption medically controlled... From my personal experience when I was younger, I just noticed that getting involved with weed was linked to a huge drop in school results, with loss of memory and focus ability, a period I would call latency on my personal development, a lot of fun with stoners and a lot of problems with non-stoners. Being a stoner has a lot of subtle effects, your life become a succession of getting high and coming-down, anxiety is often relieved but it is mainly "put away", not dealt with, and interaction with non-users become difficult. Overall activity level diminishes, life pace becomes slower, and I believe you can get stuck between child and adult for a long time. My issue is that I don't know how to speak with this kid about it. Moral lessons don't work at all, I know that for sure, speaking of personal experience is dangerous and can be taken as an enabler, so it's quite difficult. [/QUOTE]
