I don't there are three reasons why.
1The tar that builds up in your lungs.

2This is the main reason. The THC in pot hinders you hippocampus( or memory/learning) part of the brain. This means if this THC builds up it is harder to learn or be motivated to learn in school, or other activities. Me being 14 and a straight A student, planning to be an astrophysicist I want to learn as much as I can.

3 Also pot affects the pituitary gland which controls growth in your body, and I'm at the age where growth happens the most.

 

Pot may not kill you, or be as dangerous as other drugs, but It will play a major role in your life if you are an avid user.


You know many scientists smoke weed. Francis Crick, the man who discovered DNA experimented heavily with LSD and weed. It's funny how you said you wanted to be a astrophysicist because I'm planning to be a theoretical physicist. It's basically the same thing only you're dealing a lot more with singularities.

May I recommend to you A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawkings.


 Yeah, but I just don't want to chance it. I need  my full attention in school.

Thanks for the recommendation too.
