| Re: Help!!! Teen with marijuana issue
You have a right to be concerned that she is smoking at all, but especially if she already has asthma. It's the "smoking because I'm bored" part that could be bad. When people smoke it to make up for something lacking in their life or to cure depression issues, it is more likely to become a habit, even addictive, and can be hard to stop. Also, smoking it will often times lead towards people not doing the hobbies and socializing that they did in the past. So if she was bored prior to smoking, she likely will just be a high bored person.
I smoked it for years, and despite what people might say, it does become addictive in that you feel the need to do it. I just recently stopped and can feel the withdrawal effects. It's been about a month now since I have touched it, but I had a hard time sleeping, was anxious, and even my blood pressure has spiked. So your body does adapt to having the doses of THC. I also found myself not going fishing and doing my wood carvings that I so enjoyed prior to becoming a habitual user. You smoke it, and most people will lose the ambition to some of the things they did in the past. Luckily, it never got in the way of my career. But I did have friends that lost all ambition to advance their lives. Getting high became their number one priority. Some of my friends smoked it, like having an occasional drink, and it never seemed to have any bad influence on their productivity.
I have a 15 year old daughter and I sure hope she stays away from it. I wish I had better advice for you to persuade her to stop. Not knowing your daughter, it's hard to say what you could use to persuade her that the short term sensation of feeling good is not worth the potential of long term harm. Good luck.
