Marijuana use is becoming more accepted for medical and recreational purposes, but a study from The University of Queensland suggests adults over 30 may want to reconsider. The research found that continued marijuana use past 30 is linked to lower success in income, education, and happiness.
The study followed 8,000 mothers and 2,000 children, noting that for those over 30, “lowered success rates” became apparent, while younger users showed fewer setbacks.
However, the study had limitations. It focused on Australian women, and markers like homeownership and relationship status may not reflect everyone’s view of success. Additionally, it didn’t track other drug use, which could have affected results.
In conclusion, while moderate marijuana use may not harm your future, overuse as you age could impact work and relationships.
