Hi Cari - you're welcome. You're right about people being different. My brother-in-law, who is in his 50's has smoked pot daily since he was a teen & is a very productive member of society; has a job; a home; a happy family life. And just yesterday I heard of a woman who my friend knows. Ten years ago she was intelligent, witty, interested in life, etc. She's been smoking pot daily for that duration & is now bored, unmotivated, doesn't talk much, etc. Could be the pot, could be something else.
Anyway, I wish you the best of luck in whatever you decide is best for you.

> Thanks for the info Kath, I will consider that. I wish there were more current, in depth studies of the use of pot that weren't government biased. I know THC contains somewhere in the ballpark of 256 chemicals. I just wish they could identify and isolate each one, because at least one of them in there must help with anxiety... I have to admit it does scare me that no one really knows for sure exactly the long term effects of pot use. I know of people who have been smoking it for 30 years and are dignified professional business people whom no one would guess come home and take a bong hit every night. Yet on the other hand there are people like your 16 year old who obviously should not be smoking it. Why the difference in tolderance, addictive tendencies and benefits/negative repercussions???? I guess that is the big mystery, the same one that lurks behind our quest of the perfect med combo for each of us...
