As marijuana use for medical and recreational reasons grows, a new study suggests that people over 30 may need to think about their habits again.
A surprising link has been found between continuing to use marijuana after age 30 and less success in important areas of life, such as making money, going to school, and being happy generally.
Over 10,000 people took part in the study, and it found that younger marijuana users didn’t have any major problems, but people who kept using marijuana into their 30s and beyond did noticeably worse in school.
But it’s important to remember that the study only looked at Australian women and used certain success markers that might not work for everyone.
Aside from that, the study didn’t look at the use of other drugs, which might have changed the results.
Even with these problems, the study shows that adults over 30 who use marijuana too much may face unexpected problems in their jobs, relationships, and overall well-being.
Marijuana may not be a big problem in small amounts, but as users get older, they need to be more aware of their habits and see if they’re getting in the way of their duties.
If so, you might want to think again and make some changes to have a more happy and balanced life.
