A friend of mine is 19 and doesnt look like his getting any taller told me he thinks its couse of smoking.His parents are realy tall tho (his been smoking for 3 years now). Do you think its couse of that?
unlikely...but possible...i have done some research and its often rather contradictory..i have been smoking since i was 13-14 years old and im 20...im 5'10.5...the shorter side of average height for a Caucasian male.
It is true that smoking cannabis can stunt your hormonal development..but i very much doubt it can have much affect on ones height..probably a matter of a few cm's
often it can skip a generation with these sorts of things...ask him/her how tall the grandparents are.
