to those who started young, has it fucked you up?

Ill admit, Im 13 right now and I smoke a little bit..nearly 14 though...

 

blowing out my shoulder in 9th grade has done waaaaaaay more damage to me i believe than smoking since 9th grade..

 

i have felt the same way for the past couple weeks.

 

weed really never did anything to my mind/memory, it was the coke that made me forget the kind of complex words i used to know and use, but thats it i just cant get those big words out as much. but everyone is in a pickle financially around now ive noticed

 

Ive been Smoking since 15
Acid, k and others since 16
I dont thinks its effected me in any negative way.

 

^so far lol. 3 years isnt that long

 

according to the anti drug commercials.
"One time will cause some one to die or you to become and idiot". Haha

Imagine what they would say about us?

 

1 time with a disassociative or psychedelic can fuck the a person up with the wrong mental stability..

 

i want a pool a raft and lots of K, that sounds like a phantastic event in mine mind

and ive never had a bad time on cid or shrooms or (insert psychedelic here), makes me feel left out.

and trust me, ive taken my share (and his and hers and even yours)

 

but does it matter if im already insane as it is?

 

that reminds me of one of the Steve-O's Out On Bail vids.. he's all fucked up on K in mexico and he leaps off the roof of a cabana into a pool....

 

hahaa I have to see that shit.

 

my bad.. its the Don't Try This At Home vid... but yea.. they do some incredibly fucked up shit..

 

On K? Really Usually if i take a lot i eventually cant move

EDIT: I lied i have a weak tolerance so i wouldnt need a lot

 

it dont take much when it comes to K, a bump is enough for lots of ppl (if you like k land more than the k hole) but i like to jump straight into the k hole personally

 

Same here

 

As one of the people that has regullary spoken about not getting into drugs at an early age I think I need to say something about this. Most of the people who are on these forums have done way more drugs than I have and have a lot more experience with them than I have or maybe ever will.

However, I also think that most of the people here on the forums are an exception to the rule, at least for the most part when it comes to knowing how to handle their drugs. I would say the most vocal people here have talked about some of their first experiences and they talk about how they did so with someone who was more experienced than them. That is a good thing. It's always good to have someone who knows what they are doing and are willing to teach someone. There are still others here on the fourms who are curious about trying drugs and are trying to learn more about them before they start. This I can respect. People who take charge of their lives and make their own decisions based upon information that they found for themselves are better equiped to deal with how drugs can affect you.

As an example I read a post by someone the other day that they were intrested in trying it for the first time and a lot of people on these forums told her not to try it yet and to wait until she was older. This was coming from several people who I know are regular smokers. I have a lot of respect for those who do the research. Before I smoked for the first time I asked a lot of questions before I warmed up to the idea of smoking. I also had someone who was very experienced to teach me about the ins and outs of smoking weed.

I am trying and continue to try and learn more and more about marijuana and all things weed. I also feel that if I was better informed when I was younger instead of the scare tactics that the government uses to keep us off drugs would have been better. I would have been more open to try them when I was younger. Not to say I would have done them as a teenager, I don't know at this point but it is entirely possible. I had friends who smoked and I would tell then that I did not want to and they respected that and did not try to force me. I am glad that I waited but I think if I knew more about it I would have started in college and not when I was 26 or so.

I still believe that if I were asked by someone younger if they should start doing drugs I will say wait until you are older and that when they did that they found someone who was experienced to try it with. Not everyone who trys drugs will be affected the same way. Many of you have mentioned many times about how fucked up you get and how sometimes you don't remember shit you did or how you lost something or got hurt or any number of other things. Drugs in the wrong hands can be dangerous, drugs in informed responsable hands are the better experience.

Like everyone else I also did thinks as a teenager that I regret. I can't tell you how many times I got into trouble for one thing or another but I could not imagine what I would have been like if I also did drugs during those times. I am not saying that everyone who does drugs at a young age will be fucked up for the rest of theirs lives but decisions that we make will always affect us in ways we will sometimes never know or realize.

Even now as a regular marijuana smoker I would not want it any other way. I really enjoy my smoke and I think I am more responsable about my usage. I do however sometimes get the attitude that I can put my work off for later and that way I can leave and go smoke myself up. This is the main reason that I don't ever and I mean ever smoke at work. I think that if I ever cossed that line I would need to quit. I find that I need to always make sure that I have weed around and that I don't run out. Is that a healty attitude? I don't know but I do know that if I had started at a younger age I might not have such a good job as I have now and make as much money as I do.

Again I am not saying that everyone who trys drugs will follow the spiral down the rabbit hole but that it just makes it easier. People who have the willpower to resist the lure of drugs and are able to handle them are fine but those who can't handle them are often left behind. Just like life and most things. It take all kinds of people and some are more susceptible to drugs than others.

I have done some drugs. I have done LSD, as a matter of fact I did that before I smoked weed but it was something I thought I knew more about at the time and I was more intresed in trying it because of my writing. I had read some great books and they talked about their drug experiences and I wanted to be able to write from experience and not by just repeating the things I had heard I wanted to experience them for myself. I am still open to the idea of doing other drugs but I think I would prefer the more organic things like mushrooms and or morning glory seeds. Other than that I don't want to go beyond weed. I would say at this point in my life I would never try coke or any of the phara style drugs just becuse I think that I could handle them. I think that some of those drugs are way more dangerous than smoking a little weed.

All I am trying to say is that you need to make sure that when you do choose to start trying and or using drugs that you do so responsibly and that you do it with someone who knows what they are doing. Set ground rules for your use and don't cross them. Drugs can be a very slippery slope so it's important to keep them in perspective. I just feel that some of the younger people and teenagers are not mature enough to handle them while others are. Unfortunatly because of that I would say that as a rule it would be better to wait for maturity do come into play. I know that as a teenager you can sometimes feel almost invincible or that they feel they know enough. Just know what you are really getting into, there are enough people out there that have ruined thier lives to the point of no return for us to take a closer look at how drugs can affect us. That is all that I have to say. Go ahead and do drugs if you choose but be sure you are doing them because you want to and that you are well informed. Moderation in all things.

My last point is that because some people choose to go to extreams and sometime do ruin their lives is the reason that the more responsable people have to suffer for other people's mistakes. One of the reasons that Marijuana and most of the other drugs are illegal is because people do not use them responsibly. Rsponsable weed use by people who are respected will be the reason that pot will become legal. Not the people who look like they are a bunch of wastoids. Take control of your lifes and be yourself.

 

wow i couldnt read that wall of text, use the "enter" key more man. not that im being a dick, i just get a headache at the sight of so many words next to each other

 

I get you, I tend to talk a lot. Comes from being is sales I think. Plus I love to express my thoughts. I also noticed that all double spaces are taken out. I do feel that this is a great thread, I love a good discussion. Maybe I will edit it a little.

 

i've been smoking weed since I was twelve, drinking since I was 13 on occasion, and popping pills since I was 14. however, I believe that my drug use may be a symptom of the things that have been fucked up in my head since I was little.
