Growth

Hey guys, Im 16 and am 5'7, im, a good few inches shorter then the majority of the kids on my grade and i was wondering if smoking weed can stunt your growth or something. All me friends who smoke with me all have grown so it seems rather unlikely, but ide rather ive up smoking as often in order to gain a few inches. Any info would be great, thanks.

never heard of this phenomenon...and besides, if you're 16, i doubt you've been smoking for more than like a year, plus you still have growing to do...so i hope you grow, but if you don't it probably isn't the bud.

Here's a hint: When people say that something will "stunt your growth" they don't necessarily mean your literal height. Often this saying means EMOTIONAL growth or maturity.

Cannabis, coffee, alcohol, they won't affect your final height. Only your genetics ascertain your height. However, if you don't practice moderation, they WILL leave you stunted emotionally.

ive NEVER heard anyone say stunt your growth in that way. and yes of course genetics are about your max possible height, but other factors could change that.

as far as i say it tho, mad people drink coffe. they dont look like midgets aka its not that big of a deal.
