As someone who is weighing up right this moment whether to buy some weed to break a 37 day streak, I would consider his anxiety attacks a blessing in disguise. Smoking pot under the age of 25 years old is one of the worst habits you can have. Not only are you changing your brain chemistry at a time when it's still developing, ages 18-25 is really a time when you should be focused on developing skills & human capital. With regular pot those years will fly by in an instant with nothing to show for in terms of achievements. I love pot, but I wish I had discovered it when I'm over 30 and settled.

But I found, pot can help you a lot figuring out what you want and get new ideas what to do - so if you then overcome the stonedness and actually do it, then it can be good around that time... Time can also fly away, working like a log on something you don't love and then you equally wasted your time.
- slowmotiony 8y agoIt's not so bad. I smoke every damn day since university (10 years+ now), got my masters, switched countries, learned a new language, now have a nice manager position at a fintech company with lots of people interactions and some deep-dives into tech as well. No issues. My only issue is that it's very hard to quit after such long time, because things like chores or working out become tedious and boring, it's hard to motivate myself to do them, and I get irritated easily.
