I don't know if smoking weed is hereditary, but addictive substances in general are genetic, i think. Both my parents used to smoke now just my mom. My brother also smokes. My grandfather was an alcoholic and so is my aunt. My grandmother's not an alcoholic, but she drinks more than an average woman should. My uncle gets incredibly beligerent when he gets drunk so he stays away from it, but if he didn't make himself, I think he'd be an alcoholic. My brother's the same as my uncle when he's drunk.

It's genetic, but it's also self-medication. I can say all that stuff about my family and we seem like weak people, but I can also say mental health is poor in my family. Bipolar, ADHD, depression, breakdowns- we have it all. In someways I guess we're aiming to numb it with smoking or alcohol.
