Anything wrong with smoking weed?

The point is, on paper and to the average person, I look like the most upstanding responsible American citizen you could possibly ask for. I blend in seamlessly whenever I want to. It serves my purposes well. I've spent a ton of professional time meeting with and helping recruit state troopers and high ranking Dept. of Corrections personnel. The irony has always been delicious. Mommy's perfect little man? Oh no, not even close. More like Mommy's little demon.

i got the point the first time.

Are you sure because I am willing to pontificate to some degree...

All the f*cked up problems in my family are directly related to drugs and they all started out using pot (not that it happens to everyone). The latest "casualty" was an 18 year old nephew about to go to UCLA on a full scholarship when he died 2 years ago from using some kind of shit

I think habitual pot smoking saps people's energy. It makes them lethargic and distracted from what they probably ought to be thinking about. Also, it does kill brain-cells and it does lower your sperm count and sex drive.

Do you really need these extra drags on you as a young man?

Take my thoughts how ever you want to....but I came by them honestly. I was a teenager in the Haight-Ashbury in SF and I saw soooooo many drug casualties that I don't think habitual pot use is harmless.

What exactly are the withdrawal symptoms of marijuana use?

Same as every other drug with an addictive effect, basically, once you've developed a bit of a tolerance to its effects and wanting to have a higher dose. then even higher. Then higher. And so on.

Headaches, craving for a toke/fix, high levels of physiological agitation, shakes, wanting to hurt someone, including yourself.

Anyone who thinks there's nothing wrong with smoking pot (especially in high doses on a daily basis) is an utter fool.

perhaps this stuff is true to some point
and to some people

for me smoking does opposite effect on me
im the farthest thing from lethargic when smoking
it makes me extremely hyper
i pace the floors like you wouldn't believe

take off for walks no matter the time/weather
on the go 24x7 with the greenery

distracted is kinda true but not really
i do better with my algebra studies being puffy puffy
than not puffy puffy

ppl with ADD or ADHD minds
will find great improvements in their lives
when they smoke...
im no doctor and all
this is just merely what individual
ppl are discovering about themselves

i hear it quite often actually

answers are fatal

I've been fairly depressed for the last year (i hear its fairly normal). Is it bad for me to be smoking? Sometimes I feel like I might be doing it because i'm a little depressed. But I always tell people not to do it when their depressed... to make good times better. Am I too young to be doing this? am I going to have to deal with side effects when I get older (planning on stopping by age 20). I really just want to do what is best for my future... but lately I've just been trying to get through the times I'm faced with now... and weed helps me do that. I value my life and future a lot. I'm not depressed just for the sake of it... its mostly about a girl (heheh). Is weed going to have negative long term effects or change my attitude or emotions in a negative way? My brother has smoked for 2 years heavily and stopped about a 3 months ago (got baptized, gave everything up) and he seems fine. please help.

being 16 as well, i see alot of my friends doing it more and more. They seem fine to me and some smoke it almost everyday. i can't give you any real advice about weed because i have never tried it myself. as far as the future goes, i know some adults that used to smoke weed when they were young and they are perfectly fine now as far as im concerned. i dont think a little weed will hurt u that much.

I can't ask anyone for help with my depression... it just seems like its nothing I can control... love, life, and circumstance... there seems no way to cope... and honestly weed hasn't helped long term in the slightest... it only helps short term... I don't think i'm really connected to weed through my depression... I'm just wondering if its gonna make me stupid... or numb... or lazy... long term...

you are 16 and that's normal. When I was your age I was feeling the same way. I also tried Weed, had a lots of friend who were/ are stoners,... . At first it was really cool because I forgot the whole world, my problems, the girl who didn't love me,... but then I started to fell more depressed when I smoked. I started to realize that all my friends weren't able to handle the smoke, we couldn't go out without having someone who asked after 15 minutes if we could go in the parc and have a joint. And a lot of us started to use other stuff and I stoped it. I got a life, had a lot of fun, more sex,... .

There is nothing wrong with smoking pot but here are some things you need to tell yourself.

1.I smoke weed because I want to, not because i'm down on some girl
2.ever tell the girl you like her? maybe she likes you too.
3. try eating some acid at a pearl jam concert. it's so much more fun than just smoking pot at home while listening to ten on vinyl. hell eat some acid at home and put on your pearl jam vinyls.

I'm the same age as you and I've been smoking weed for years. It took me then more years to try other drugs. I've now tried a lot of drugs but there are things i'll never do and ways of doing a drug i'll never know what it feels like. drugs are expensive. the only down from them.

I've never heard of anyone with a "plan" on how long they were gonna smoke weed.. If you plan on stopping at 20, just stop now and you won't have to worry about it. Nothing against weed or those who partake, I do at times, it's just if you plan to stop anyhow, might as well be now instead of in 4 years.

Peace

I think you should try to stay away. I'm very old and I've heard about people that I knew in the 1970's who were doing it back then and still are now that they are in their late forties/early fifties. One lady said her older brother still does it (he's probably 55) and he gets panic attacks when he's high.

I wish I knew where the online article was that I read about teens smoking pot and how bad it is for them b/c their brain is still developing. Maybe it was in a magazine. To me, that's scarier than just hearing it leads to harder drugs. A person can control that.

there is no such thing as teenage problems. everyday you build your life to something new and into further depths of reality. what is reality, you are far from knowing. reality is knowing that you don't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, eventually you'll get what you need.

I'm pretty satisfied with my life: smoking weed with my friends, going to concerts, listening to music, having a job where the work i do directly effects those around me in my community.

it's the small things in life that actually make your life "Akuna Matata" (it means no worries for the rest of your days, its our problem free philosophy).
Smoking pot just helps me fit in there.



and to luxpjamer,
whow? Are you asking wow, or how? Do you wanna rock out on some lsd with some pj?
