What affects does marijuana have on a chronic smoker.?
I smoked every day between the ages of 15 – 21, I was addicted to the stuff (I know people laugh at that, but these days marijuana has a lot of chemicals in it, hence why people can become addicted to it) Aside from the mental issues I got from using over a long time (depression, anxiety), the fact that I was stuck as a teenager because I hadn’t grown through the **** life threw at me… who knows what affects I could have further down life’s path. Apparently it has more tar in it that cig’s, and I use to lace it with tobacco and smoke through a bong – which means no filter. I no longer smoke pot or cigarettes, but I could very well end up with lung cancer. I use to get sick for long periods of time and often, the first winter after I quit was the first time I hadn’t gotten sick in many years. I am really glad I quit. It was really hard – I won’t deny that, the first 3 months were hell. But now (3 years later) I don’t think about it at all. It has been really freeing and the best thing
