Answer 1

as a fellow toker i say no. wait till youre old enough to answer your own question instead of asking a bunch of idiots and pervs. find out what you want in life then when you reach that goal then maybe start smoking the reefer. educate yourself first. free your mind and your *** will follow.

Answer 2

Well, don't do it because your friends do it. You need to want to do it yourself, not because of peer pressure. I do not think it is a bad thing to do, but you can become addicted to it. I think that it should be legalized because I honestly don't think it is as bad as other drugs out there and it is natural. While I was in high school I knew a lot of people that smoked, but I never did or wanted to. Then one day I did do it...I liked it. I did it once in a while for a few months and then I quit...it gets expensive and I wanted it more and more. It also made me hungry and more tired. The first time I tried marijuana was over 3 1/2 years ago. I smoke now, but more for personal reasons. It helps me relax and have a good time. There are times that I want to stop, but I don't because it always makes me feel better, especially after a crapy day at work. But my best advice would be not to do it b/c your friends are. If you really want to do it then just be prepared for the side effects and keep in mind that you can get in a lot of trouble if you get caught up with it.

I have ingested certain chemicals in the past and if I may share a metaphor with you, please allow me to. Line 10 people up on a bridge railing and tie a chain around their necks with a cinder block tied to the end, with the cinderblock in their hands. Taking drugs is like dropping the cinder block over the bridge railing. Probably for 7 or 8 of the 10, the cinder block will pull them into the raging river below. For the other 2 or 3, the chain will snap and they will escape unscathed.
If I were you, I would not want to test myself to determine in which group I'd be. I have seen good friends destroy their lives on drugs. You simply never know whether or not you are going to have a proclivity towards addiction - and that is the fear that you should have of drugs. It is a healthy fear.
Also, you will regret doing something simply because of peer pressure.

It's a horrible thing to do. You know all the effects of smoking cigarettes? Smoking a joint is like smoking a pack of cigarettes. Studies show that there is a risk of developing bronchitis and lung cancer. The short-term effects of marijuana can include problems with memory and learning; distorted perception; difficulty in thinking and problem solving; loss of coordination; and increased heart rate. Research findings for long-term marijuana abuse indicate some changes in the brain similar to those seen after long-term abuse of other major drugs. One study has indicated that a user's risk of heart attack more than quadruples in the first hour after smoking marijuana. Even infrequent abuse can cause burning and stinging of the mouth and throat, often accompanied by a heavy cough. Someone who smokes marijuana regularly may have many of the same respiratory problems that tobacco smokers do, such as daily cough and phlegm production, more frequent acute chest illness, a heightened risk of lung infections, and a greater tendency to obstructed airways9. Smoking marijuana possibly increases the likelihood of developing cancer of the head or neck.Depression17, anxiety17, and personality disturbances18 have been associated with chronic marijuana use. Because marijuana compromises the ability to learn and remember information, the more a person uses marijuana the more he or she is likely to fall behind in accumulating intellectual, job, or social skills. Students who smoke marijuana get lower grades and are less likely to graduate from high school, compared with their nonsmoking peers.
Plus, dealers put a whole bunch of other stuff in there along with the plant that's actually marijuana. Filler stuff so that they can have more product to sell. It's not safe.

Answer 5

NEVER smoke marijuana untili you are at least 20 years old or 21. Before that time, you are too wild to embrace it. It will confuse you when your'e in high school. I'm in college. After I started smoking, I became more charismatic, started making excellent grades, and experienced health benefits such as metabolic regulation, sleep regulation, and a really good hormone regulation. However, when I smoked in high school, I was wild, and still growing physically. I ended up wrecking things all the time. Wait till you're older. Please.

Answer 6

You do it if YOU want to, if not tell your friends to get over it and leave you alone. It is a decision that only you can make. Me, personally, I think it should be legalized. I enjoy getting a buzz from time to time. But there are also those people who can't be responsible with their use of it and put it before more important things in life. Just do what is right for YOU and not your friends. If they are truly your friends they will understand if you don't want to, and they will respect you for being a strong individual that can think and make decisions for yourself.

Answer 7

NO! Don't even THINK about it! Some years ago, I read an article, that said that Schizophrenics crave marijuana. Then someone said, marijuana can MAKE you Schizophrenic. I believe it!!!!!! Because when IIIIII did it, it made me PARANOID as HADES!! "Paranoia will Annoy Ya!" as the song goes, and Paranoia can make you COMBATIVE! FIGHTING people that LOVE you! Remember, it's the only "Heaven" the devil has to offer, that can turn your LIFE ON EARTH into sheer HELL!! Remember also, "BAD COMPANY CORRUPTS GOOD MORALES!!" You can find enough freinds who will go to the movies with you, or SKIING, or BOATING, or SHOPPING, or WHATEVER, that you don't have to get into "Mary Jane." Mary Jane carried a cane, MUCH sooner than MOST!!

Answer 8

First and foremost, I would not let my friends be my guide. You have a mind of your own. No it should not be legalized and yes it is bad for you and can lead you to try more advanced and harmful drugs. Don't be a people pleaser. If your friends were all going to jump off a dangerous and they wanted you to do it, Would you? Think for yourself and seek your guidance from a higher power than your friends.

Answer 9

Where do people get the idea that it will make you look nasty and could kill you???? What!? Besides the fact that it's illegal, give me a good valid reason why it's a bad thing? Come on, people, use your brain. Or at least try not to act like an expert on something you obviously have no clue about.

Answer 10

No one has ever died from smoking pot, the people that don't do it are scared because they believe everything they hear. Pot it better than cigarettes because there are no extra chemicals and it is not addictive. so really if you do you could honestly quit at any time. You have to decide for yourself. You have a very adult decision to make, you either have to smoke with them or find a new group of friends because they are going to continue to smoke no matter what you say. And if you are not going to do it, you need to get yourself out of that environment.

Answer 11

you should only smoke Marijuana to get in touch with your creative side. Doin it b/c everyone else does it is dumb. If you like music, writing, drawing, painting, any arts. Smoke a little and try to do it you can have a revelation in your mind when you see it from this high altered point of view.
