The teen brain is especially susceptible to the harms of THC

Marijuana that's higher in THC and concentrated cannabis products may pose even higher risks of addiction and psychosis.

I was wondering what was wrong with me.

The big disapointment for me is my brain's habit of quickly building a tolerance to THC in both joint & capsule form. I had an experience once with a super strain of pot that I got back stage at Fred Waring's resort hotel in the Poconoes. I picked up a lid from the Black band guys that put me into uncontrollable fits of laughter. At home a week later it had little effect. Tolerance.
 
Good thing teens cannot legally purchase marijuana anywhere. Just like they cannot legally purchase alcohol anywhere.

Unfortunately they can get it from enabling adults.
 
Alcohol has the same effect on the teen brain.
Which is why the sale and use of alcohol by teens is regulated, the same as for marijuana products.

That is a real good thing. You would see real problems educating students otherwise and then you'd have people blaming the teachers and the schools, and then you'd see funding levels stagnate. You'd see work ethics and performance on the job decline as well with lateness, poor attitudes and attendence also suffering. Entry level job openings would go unfilled, unmotivated young people would be living w/ Mom and Dad longer.

We could end up with major preparedness issues coming down the pike of young folk got their hands on this shit..
