Besides a bit of a smokers cough and my short term memory being complete shit! I think my only real side effect from long term heavy use which started at 13, is that I'm definitely not as "crisp" as I could be. I'm not burnout by any means but I often have brain farts and my thoughts feel cloudy. My Dr's had me on every drug available growing up, nothing ever balanced me better than pot. My Tourette Syndrome was at a 9 out of 10 from age 5 to 13. Started smoking and it became almost non existent to this day. When I don't smoke, my anxiety goes through the roof, pain gets stronger and my tourettes becomes much worse. All and all, I'll take the foggy thoughts and cough once and while over anxiety, constant pain and embarrassment any day.
