I mean, I would have appreciated some information about weed influencing my body and brain development before I am ~25. Then I might have waited that time or smoked less. Now I can only imagine if I might have become less of a scatterbrain. Instead I was told that all drugs are bad and they will make me addicted and push me to drug-related crimes, which did not turn out believable enough.
I definitely had/have undiagnosed something but I don’t blame the drugs… those came after my lived experience being socially awkward, rocking to soothe myself and mostly daydreaming all day and forgetting homework existed. I can’t imagine what my mother was thinking trying to comb out my rats nest hair in the morning. No wonder she had it cut really short.

Are you sure you’re not a scatterbrain from undiagnosed ADHD that you’ve been self-medicating with the weed?

regardless, that would not do anything for other people experiencing the general case
