All i know is what i have been told, my mum works for a mental heath charity and there have been so many cases where young people have developed mental health problems as a result of smoking too much weed. A lot of those people are people that may or may not have developed it later in life regardless, but it can be a trigger.
My friend Jimmy smoked pot ALL THE TIME, and he went totally insane eventually, he's dead now though.

I agree that it can cause some obvious health issues if it's abused with excessive use, just like many other drugs, e.g., alcohol.

Yes, i did use it on and off from the age of 12, but i just decided i didn't like it anymore, it kept making me paranoid and thats not good. It fucked up two of my best friends, one is okay now, one is not (as i mentioned above).
I have grown up around heavily stoned parents, so they both allowed me to use it whenever i wanted. But now that my mum works for a mental health charity, she doesn't like me using it anymore. You have to remember the stuff we are smoking now is sooooo much stronger than the stuff our parents were smoking.
I won't discourage my children from experimenting with it in the future, i think you have to try things to know if you like them or not, i have done that, and they should too.
