Studies have shown that it will reduce the gray matter growth in the orbitofrontal cortex (decision-making area among other things) in youths. Medically speaking, it would be safer to stay away from using marijuana until you are around 21-25 (closer to 25 for most).
Link. I know you didn't pull those 50 cent words out of no-where, but medically speaking? I've read the reports and all too, I was pretty sure as long as you didn't smoke when very young there was no real risk of any issues.

You're pretty much right. The gray matter volume decrease is also paired with increased connectivity. As long as you weren't smoking as a early teenager, you probably don't have a noticeable difference. That being said, GMV does decrease with use at an early age and that is definitely something to consider.
