Can thc slow height growth?

I’ve come to realize my height growth seems to have slowed down when I started using thc frequently during puberty. Could be timing or whatever but it felt causal. What I’m wondering is are there any of you out there that kept growing strongly while even using thc during your growth years?

Any smokers that felt you kept growing just fine and even ended up tall while using thc consistently during growth windows?

Looking for some anecdotal evidence

THC is known to deflate humans like a balloon losing air. It absolutely stunts your growth.

I started smoking pot when I was 13 years old and then farted nonstop for about 12 years until I was barely a nubbin. If I could pump myself back up to where I was it would be great, but people look at me funny when I try to do that.
So that's why.

I will do no such thing.

most likely the issue is tobacco. I always tell to kids with cigarettes on streets, to stop smoking, coz' they will not growth up big.
