It alters your brain function by messing with your neurotransmitters. This means that your brain function is actually impaired. You are not normally high. Something is affecting the way you act, speak, and think. You're not going to be your normal self. Do you know how much shit you can get into by accident?

"Yea, but I actually function better with a hit...or two". This might hit a little hard (no pun intended), but welcome to the world of addiction.

"As time passes, you may need larger doses of the drug to get high. Soon you may need the drug just to feel good. As your drug use increases, you may find that it's increasingly difficult to go without the drug. Attempts to stop drug use may cause intense cravings and make you feel physically ill (withdrawal symptoms)." -Mayo Clinic

Sound familiar? That's the Mayo Clinic's description of drug addiction. Cannabis is not a magical drug that you cannot get addicted to. Pot is so normalized that it's almost taboo if you don't smoke. No one ever talks about being addicted to marijuana, but it happens. Maybe you aren't experiencing it now, but it can happen.

Don't believe me? Narconon.org says "of those going to rehabilitation for addiction to weed, 45 percent are under 21 years of age. When those 24 and younger are included, the percentage rises to 55. Thus it is important to let our youth know the risks, rather than letting them accept the decriminalization campaigns without rebuttal". Is that your age range?
