What does smoking pot once a week do to a person my age?

Question

I'm 14.

Answer 1

A crock pot or a spaghetti pot? Makes a difference.

Answer 2

Kills brain cells, and if you do it once a week then twice a week then three times a week, then it doesn't do anything for you so you try something stronger. Before you know it you are addicted and you don't want to go there, you could end up with HIV, or worse. At 14 years old, you don't need that world of hurt and neither does your parents siblings or anyone else who loves you. Think long and hard is it worth an addiction?????? Is it worth the hurt that it will cause your family? Are you ready for that responsibilty????? Good luck!

Answer 3

Well, lets just take me for a case study. I did just that at age 14 (I quit at 16) and it caused some issues with me that I am still dealing with at age 44. It caused problems when I wanted to have children and, I have a memory like that of about an 80 year old. My children say I am the BEST case they have ever seen for NOT doing pot. I can't remember ANYTHING. Sometimes I can't think of a word and I use one that I THINK is the right word and I end up coming up with a whole new word instead. Just the other day I told my kids that I would "tile out the gum to them evenly" what I meant to say was that I would 'distribute the gum out to them evenly' I still can't think of the word that I substituted 'tile' for. The doctors say that the only thing this could be a result of is just killing off too many brain cells when I was young.

Please don't smoke pot. It might feel good temporarily, but what possible good could come from it in the long run. It damages every part of your body -- kidney, liver, brain, lungs, etc. and you will be living with the consequences forever. Not the least of which could be jail time and a permanent record.

No one aspires to grow up to be a stoned-out, burned-out junkie. I know right now you think you're 10-feet tall, invisible and bullet-proof, but it COULD happen to you. If you just walk away from it now it WON'T happen to you.

In addition, I know you probably have friends surrounding the drug culture thing. But when I decided to quit smoking pot at 16 I simply told my friends "I'll respect your right to smoke pot if you'll respect my right not to". I didn't try to get them to quit and they didn't try to get me to smoke it. We still hung out and they remained my friends until we graduated. Some of them are still my friends. Some of them are still burned-out stoners with no job and no future. A couple have died from overdoses.

It's a dead-end street. Please don't do permanent damage to your brain, your body and your future. Do it for YOU.

Answer 4

Well lets see, you run the risk of:

Chemical dependence

Permanent damage to your brain which can lead to memory loss, depression, panic attacks.

Damage to your lungs, kidneys, liver, and reproductive organs.

Being arrested. After all it is an illicit drug.

Loss of $ that could be better spent on other things.

Poor academic performance, later job performance.

Risks of birth defects in your offspring

Making 'stupid' choices while high.

Getting your pot laced with some other drug: PCP, Formaldehyde, Cocaine, etc.

Answer 5

Ya need to leave it alone while you are young cause it will laxidate your brain. There are different types of "highs" for different types of pot and you could do something real stupid like getting caught and having a police record that will haunt you the rest of your life.

Answer 6

Increase the chances that you will end up chemically dependant in the future. Or it could stunt your growth-chicks don't dig short, lazy guys with crap jobs who can't remember S@##$%

Apparently it's already killing off brain cells if you're asking that question at your age.
