If You’re Still Smoking Weed at 30…

Marijuana consumption is increasingly recognized for both therapeutic and recreational purposes; however, a recent study indicates that individuals over the age of 30 might need to reassess their usage.

 

Researchers from The University of Queensland discovered that persistent marijuana use beyond this age is linked to diminished success in various domains, including income, education, and overall well-being.

The study monitored over 8,000 mothers and 2,000 children, focusing on drug use at the ages of 21 and 30. While younger users did not exhibit significant drawbacks, those over 30 showed marked declines in indicators of success.

Nevertheless, the research has its limitations. Conducted exclusively on Australian women, the results may not be applicable to a broader population. Success was evaluated based on criteria such as homeownership and relationship status, which may not resonate with everyone’s personal values. Furthermore, the study did not consider the use of other substances, acknowledging that the findings might reflect “polydrug use” rather than the effects of cannabis alone.

In conclusion, while moderate marijuana use may not adversely affect one’s future, excessive consumption as one ages could have repercussions on career, relationships, and overall stability. If marijuana use begins to interfere with personal responsibilities, it may be prudent to reevaluate such habits.
