I smoked weed when I was a teen and I turned out just fine. My brother didn't and he still failed in grades and got himself kicked out of school over a girl. The thing about marijuana screwing up your brain is a lie pushed by the government to try and make people afraid of something that is otherwise harmless.

Some people (idiots) say it made me queer (nonbinary) or mentally ill (therian) but I always was those things long before I started smoking. It was only years after I smoked that I came out of the closet.

that seems like a pretty flimsy case? i'm not doubting what you saw firsthand, but a single eyewitness account is hardly grounds to make a claim on all marijuana use, especially when there's a fair amount of research suggesting otherwise
