You must be high right now.

SmackSound, obviously you feel quite hesitant about smoking. This is your inner monologue, trust it.

I think this is a good link, the bottom of the page has the side effects.

by the time you are 20 and gas is $10/gallon, I'm sure you'll want to keep all your money for necessities and not for weed.

That link is only good if you have never smoked and like to sensationalize the effects of marijuana. Quite a irresponsible page if you ask me.
And could we please stop saying, "weed"!?? I feel like I'm back in high school.

*edit, seeing how the OP is actually in high school, I guess the term, weed, is fitting. Now I'm off to the library, Ma

You cannot have an 'inner monologue'. By definition, a monologue is spoken out loud.

SAY NO TO DRUGS! I said that out loud as I wrote it to add to the impact.

I'm 16 and I try to keep my life going in the right directions. Lately, I've started smoking weed (last 6 months). I smoke it maybe twice a week (less during school). 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.

Ok, for what it's worth, I will tell you my spin on this. I speak from actual experience, (I smoked pot for many many years) and parental views (I found a one hitter in my son'd wallet and had to think of a real non bullshit thing to say to reach him) so here goes..........

This is the thing. We are all different and can addicted to things differently. I got addicted to weed, although I had no idea I had ADHD at the time and was most likely self medicating myself. But still no matter what, it was damn hard to quit and I won't touch it till this day because I would like it too much.

As for "wrong" or "right", that doesn't pertain to it unless you look at it from what's legal and what's not which is so fucked up because I think more people fuck up fromn drinking than from smoking pot. Only one is external and one is internal. In that order as well.

But at your age, I will tell you what I told my son after much thought about this. It might be a better idea to get to where you are wanting to end up in your life, i.e,, career, college, etc. and then when you have done that, and are a bit more mature (no insult age is wisdom in terms of knowing oneself), then you can decide whether or not to party and in what ways. Because although I could clean like crazy when I was high, I could not focus to get school straight for me. That is the thing you have to think about. Forget others' views on it, be your own best friend, is it helping you or hurting you?

Only you know. I hope it helps. If you need to hear anything more, you can certainly PM me if I could help.

Life is ahead of you ....enjoy being 16 truly I know it can suck sometimes but one day you will look back and see that you can do only certain things now and later on life will change. Not worse only different.

I never call it weed, I just called it that b/c he did! I always called it pot.

A few years ago, I went to a baby shower and there was a girl there (aged 38) that I knew in jr. high. She was so nervous talking to me. I asked our friend why and she said she still smokes pot (and she can't afford it either.) I wonder why it calms down some people and others are anxious.

Yea, this confuses me to.
Pot peps me up, but cigarettes, the "stimulant"... calms me. WTF?
Is the calming just simply the filling my addiction, but I am actually stimualted in some way?

Nothing wrong with it. It just reminds me of being in high school and being too dumb for my own good.
Which is why I told the OP to wait till they are older if they were ever considering smoking, ahem... weed.

I'm not sure, even prescriptions can make someone stay awake all night when it is supposed to make one drowsy (two ppl in my family are like that, stay awake when they should be sleep from meds.)

pot can cause low blood sugar maybe that causes the anxiety or shakes.

i'm really nervous and cigarettes calmed me too (that's their addictive nature)
but i quit many years ago.

no I live in a rural area. we're not moving closer to work either. i'm sitting on some expensive property here that we bought for a good deal. and just b/c it's rural, i'm not growing "hemp."

it was rural, now it is semi rural due to the building of new homes...

how about this for a reason? a person could lose their job due to random drug testing. i'd say that's a good reason to stay away.
