I don't know a lot about drugs, but I know a fair amount about weed and just gonna share..
I used to take it a fair amount and I was pro-marijuana. In fact I still am pro-, but I don't do it anymore because I found out of certain health risks. Not everybody has the same genes that I do, so for most people weed is fine, but for anybody with a family history of mental illness, or alcoholism, etc it greatly increases chances of developing addictions and more importantly schizophrenia/psychosis. Weed isn't bad, but it's a serious problem that kids and adults too that use it just don't know anything about the possible effects. Just because it's okay for most people doesn't necessarily mean it will be for any given individual. Also, marijuana nowadays is generally over 15x more concentrated than it used to be, and is bred to have less cannabidiol (CBD) which is the built-in anti-psychosis chemical* it should have.

I'm not 10..
Also I forgot to say, anybody who smokes weed on three or more occasions before they're 15 has an 1000% increased chance of developing schizophrenia by the time they're 26. So if you're odds were 6%, they're now 60%.
