Yes 24ish years and no issues I or anyone around me has noticed. Nothing medical requiring treatment, I haven't been to a dr in probably as long or longer as I've been smoking.

Lion's mane, THC, CBDA, lithium, and caffeine are all neuroprotective in the right doses. You should also be taking an omega 3 supplement.
I'd also throw in some ginseng for sure, and maybe some reishi, holy basil, cordyceps, or other adaptogens if you are so inclined.
NAC or N-acetyl cysteine is another good supplement to be taking daily. It is a glutathione precursor, and can thus help with detoxification.

10 years is nothing. I started smoking cigs at 12 and pot at 13 and still do both. I'm 68 in a couple of weeks and my lungs are pretty bad. The bulk of my cannabis ingestion is in the form of edibles now. Small hits in the pipe most evenings.
Been a heavy binge drinker most of my life but since quitting booze over a year ago my memory has got a lot better. I credit micro-dosing magic mushrooms with getting me off the booze and greatly reducing the chronic depression that has been steady since a near fatal hammer attack in my early 20s.
I did have a small stroke about 7 years ago and had serious brain fog from that for a couple years. I order hemp hearts and hemp protein in bulk and eat a lot of that plus many vitamins and supplements. Some for general health, a few for prostate issues and some like Ginko Biloba for the head tho not noticing any improvement from that really but only been taking it for a month. Melatonin to help with sleep but rarely need it since the stroke.
We recently got a pound of leaf tobacco from a friend and the wife an I are both quitting when it's done in a couple weeks or so. Just in time for my b-day.

I started smoking weed at age 13 (1974). Stopped from 16 to 18. Stopped for two months of bootcamp in 1980. Then stopped for 12 years (2004-2016) while my wife was being rich and famous. I do have some lung issues. I cough up shit every morning. I was vaping some, but it did hurt me more than smoking flowers, so I've stopped for now.
I did smoke good cigars for a few years. I stopped them when I stopped weed in 2004. They hurt me far more than pot.
I don't think my crazy is weed related.

Does the Lion's Mane Mushroom Battle Alzheimer's?
Hericium erinaceus is known its cognition-boosting powers. But can lion's mane really fight Alzheimer's disease? Let's examine the science behind the lion's mane mushroom and its effects on Alzheimer's.

Famous locally. Just a run of the mill public servant. A little girl in Subway once said, "look Daddy, there is (my wife's name)."

Late to this one but yes, nightly since 1999. It all started with one pipe per night.
And that soon became two pipes per night which soon became 1 single wide joint per night which progressed to 2 to 3 single wide joints per night which became 2 to 3 of the 1 1/4 joints per night. Now a normal night is 2 to 3 of the 1 1/4 RAW cones.
Ooh look ... KING cones!
Lungs? Nope. A good morning clearing is all I do. Nothing after that.
Brain? Nope - although my wife's viewpoint might differ ...

She is not a smoker nor does she use a vape.
So a couple of times a year I will bake some cannabutter infused cookies.

This December will be the 20th anniversary of sneaking out to smoke weed the first time (dads
tool shed, highschool Christmas break). Luckily, I never smoked cigs, so I don’t think it hampered me as much as it has some others. I also stay active doing yard work, chasing kids around, riding my bike, and cooking well. There are plenty of other factors that have contributed to things like brain fog, and exhaustion, so I can’t blame the weed for everything. The only thing I’ve really ever noticed from weed was making me more tired in the mornings, and possibly lessening my cardiovascular endurance. I get winded more easily, and cant really run for distance, but as I’m approaching 40 it’s not a big hindrance in daily life. The benefits I get from smoking it are enough to keep doing it - stress/anxiety relief, sleep aid, pain relief, cramp relief (I have severe IBS), and helps me eat when I feel sick and can’t. Its also helpful for that massive pain in the ass caused by life.

Smoked 3 packs a day for 30 years. I quit when they had me in the hospital. No problems.
Got on SKOAL and Jack. Started coughing up pieces of my Esphogus (sp) not good.
