here's my opinion: dont start yet...let it find you, dont go out looking to smoke up, i would recomend anyone staring not until they are 14-15, grade 9-10, just because thats a much more mature age compared to elementry/middle school if u are really interested in starting in that time, i would say just see if your close friends would like to try as well, dont go looking for new people to meet and to smoke with, because it's just gonna screw u, and your relationships up people who start too early, or too late in my eyes always fucked themselves over, people who start too early get too far into it, and make it their lives, becoming a teenager as well, u dont exactly have the most ambitious or agreeable personality, and weed does nothing but further those troubles on the other side, people who discover it very late generally also get too deep into it, and too fast, they start smoking in the senior years of highschool and start fucking up big time, not only in academics, but it's strange for people to see somone they have know for 10-12 years get changed drastically by drugs in a very important time of the 16-19 year old range. sorry for sounding like a phycitrist or somthing, but all the points i've made i strongly stand by them
Which is why you gotta take breaks and self exam a little bit and question yourself as to wether your fucking up or not. You cant toy around with weed, everything takes a little responsability
my best friend would probably nark me out though, i think i know who i could do it with though. so far the only way i think i can do it is at the movie with cops all over the plcae, or meet some people in these woods between our neighbor hood, but fear getting lost on the way back or something like that (oh and its coyote season hear... EEEK! thought on where to do this and digitalld got me to think of waiting another year or two, but still i wanna know these things for if i decide to or do them soon
I think it's gonna be kind of hard for you to wait on it now. I'm assuming your heart is kind of set on wanting to know what it's like to be high now. You're just gonna have to get high and get your wanting to get high out of your system till later.
I started when I was 14 but tried when I was 13 so it's all up to you. You wouldn't get lost or any of that shit so dont worry. It just makes you feel more relaxed. Just make sure you do it outside because the smell is very distinct.
Ugh.. So many stoners discouraging an interested soul... You guys are fuckin' lazy. There's no accurate answer we can give, even if we knew every bit of information only you could find the precise answer. There's really only one area worth questioning, and that is your maturity. You have to know when to smoke, when to hold off, who to do it with, how to keep yer yap shut, how much to smoke, how often, etc. Basically, are you strong enough to keep it from interfering with the rest of your life?
I would say to wait until you're a bit older. While its impossible to say exactly how you'll be effected by pot, I'd just wait till you're older so that its easier to concentrate on school. I mean, if you just focus on school up until sophomore or jr year and get decent grades, you can chill senior year and cruise into some decent schools. Now you could start smoking and be fine enough to keep up with studies, but theres a chance you'll just get mad chill and not get anything done (which some people are without pot, but whatever). Now, I dont want to come off like I think you should be cool, stay in school, and dont touch the reefer. You can really do whatever you want in life. But in life there is the system, and the easiest way to get through life is to play the game and do well in school so you can get a good job later for less work. Plus I think pot can definitely change who you are, for better or worse or so little you can't tell, but these next 5 or 6 years for you are going to be crazy enough. You can choose to smoke or not, whatever will be will be. And I'm just kinda running on here because you know I'm a little Look at me, do you want to ramble on like this someday?!
I agree. Weed will overrun your life if you allow it to. It can be a gateway drug, so make a promise to yourself now that if you try weed you won't get into other drugs. I've been smoking weed for about four years now and have never broken this promise to myself.
Go ahead, But dont start skippin school like I did man. It jus sucks ass when you get back and you dont know anything. Im failing atleast 2 clases this semester and losing 10 credits, I mean I still get 15 when I get a job n all but still having 55 credits would have been alot better for me that 30.. maybe 25 if I fail my english class but It hink I got that covered.
Once in a while shouldnt screw up your life. I see it similarly to drinking. If im with friends and once in a while we get drunk, its ok as long as we keep up with our responsabilities, ie. school, not drinking and driving and the like. The problem with weed is the same problem with everything else: It's good in moderation but not in excess. I wouldnt rush it though, I didint do any drinking, or pot till junior year, youve got a lot of time still.
sounds almost exactly like me when i started... its no big deal, but one thing u have to worry bout is that there will b alotta ppl ur age who for the next few years will think that u are satan for smoking weed, cause most ppl ur age think taht marijauna is horribly evil... grade wise, dont think that smoking weed will affect ur grades.. my grades are great.. but the main thing is that ur friends might not approve in the slightest
one more thing.. from my experiences, u will meet more ppl through drugs then ne thing u will prolley ever do, and u will also have some crazy things happen (fun, and not so fun) that the others will never have ne thing like it happen to them
