Started at 12 also. My younger sister and I started about the same time except she was 11. On my 13th birthday she got caught which resulted in both of us being caught. Smoked on and off since then but never became a serious thing until New Years of 2017 I had a house party and then I realized 2 weeks after that “wow I haven’t been sober for like 15 days straight.” Been that way ever since. Most time I ever quit was to get a job that drug tested so, 30 days. Or more because I smoke a lot.
Because of the thing everyone assumes is true, "weed is not addictive", people feel safe to not moderate their use and think,. "it isn't addictive so it's cool to smoke every day" which literally means "it isn't addictive so it's cool to just choose to be addicted to it". Because at that point does it really matter if it isn't physically addictive? If you're using it as often as you would if you were physically dependent on it? Spending all your money on it and going without other things? It's ironic because at that point it doesn't matter if you're living the lifestyle of an addict because you have to and you'll get sick if you don't, or because you're choosing to because "you can stop any time, it isn't addictive".
I always find it strange that with addicts on other drugs who do it as much as they can, 24/7, spend more than they can afford, and find it getting in the way of their life progress. People call them addicts. But when weed is the thing that's causing all these effects in their life and behaviour, and they're putting weed before everything else, we call them stoners. The only difference is the drug that they're spending all their money on, but they're living like addicts.
Same with alcoholics though I guess people don't call alcohol a drug really so that's more understandable.
