Would smoking weed at age 14 have effect on my growth?

Hey I'm 14 and I've smoked weed about 20 times in about 3 months. Lately I've been doing it a lot. I really want to stop doing it or atleast slow down and only do it every once in a while, but I want to know the effect it will have on my growth like if I smoke only every once in a while will it totally **** me up or what?

    Ive heared weed does stunt your growth

    Plus, all my stoner friends are short (and i have a LOT, british columbia lol). The ones that smoke casually (or dont at all) are fairly tall though...

    Weed just kills braincells. Dont bother doing it every day. Recreationally, sure, (though i dont recommend it), but its a waste of time. Focus on school.

    Eh, I'd say its best not to really do any sort of mind altering activity (weed, booze, etc.) until around the age of 18 or higher, but that's clearly not the case here. This being the case, I don't think your physical growth will be stunted. Your mental growth might be iffy though, as at 14 you've got a lot of learning to do to set up your adult life. Especially in this world we live in now, getting into a good college or trade school is huge.

    in case you do no longer smoke many times then well-being clever you would be wonderful. Weed smoke isn't solid to your lungs, in spite of the fact that it particularly is a hell of lots extra advantageous than cigarettes. in case you get caught by using the cops in spite of the fact that...properly that would shrink to rubble particularly a appropriate form of issues like your college and getting a job. i don't be attentive to what your dating which includes your mothers and fathers is, or in the event that they approve of you smoking, yet thats all you're able to worry approximately.
