Ahh ok, well in all honesty this isnt really a choice for us to make. Its completely up to you. But as a word of warning, and yes I am aware this is probably going to sound a fair bit like the whole speech your mum gave you about losing your virginity! I would say its not the best idea. You are still quite young right now, I started smoking when I was 14 for very much the same reasons you listed here and honestly some days I do sort of regret it.
As your only 16 you really should be focusing on school or whatever, and let me tell you from first hand experience weed does not help this! I know it sounds sort of lame but that stuff really is important.
Also bare in mind, if your just going to do it because it seems cool and all your friends are doing it, it is very possible that a few years down the line these same people wont be your friends anyway so it seems like a pretty pointless reason.
Also as a word of warning, you may find smoking ages you somewhat (mentally of course, your not suddenly going to grow a beard!) This is something I defiantly noticed and others around me did also, and it is also possible it may to an extent steal your innocence. Sounds like a weird thing to say but it does happen. See told ya it would be like your mum fabled virginity speech
However, Im not saying weed is bad and awful and you shouldn't do it i'm sure you've heard more than enough of that already and frankly thats just not true. Smoking weed can be a truly wonderful experience, but you yourself have to be ready for it, it is still technically a drug and shouldn't be forced.
As your posting on here, i'm presuming you've done you research anyways which is a great start. Just browsing through the threads i'm sure you will have seen both positive and negative experiences documented.
From your profile I can see you live in Cali which is defiantly a positive, you will have much greater quality and control over your weed which is a luxury. You are right that there are different types of weed. For a start you should go for a low CBD and THC content strain just to test the waters if your going to smoke, you don't want something mad like some premium hydro white widow as a first taste!
Anyway heres some useful bits and bobs, and things you may experience ive tried to keep it unbiased as possible:
Euphoria - No need for a real explanation here, just basically you will be feeling gooooodd
Racing heart - This can really trip you out sometimes dont worry about it though. its perfectly natural.
Munchies - You are suddenly really really hungry and food tastes incredible, even if it does seem like an effort to swallow!
Increased music appreciation - This is one of my favorites, stick on any sort of tune you like listening to, it will sound really cool.
Feeling faint/confusion - Can be a bit scary at times, its nothing to worry about though, you just need some sugar that all! Eat some sweets or drink some full fat coke and you will be fine and dandy.
Panic attack - Particularly nasty one, but easily fixed. Just keep reminding yourself that it will all be over soon, and try and distract yourself, Movies are good for this. green tea also works wonders for the anxiety.
Red eyes - Your eyes will go bloodshot.
Sleepyness/tiredness - says it all really, with most strains its not to bad and can be combated pretty effectively by a cup of coffee, if its really bad just have little nap, no shame in it.
Finally as others have said start light, don't go on like a bull in a china shop and smoke a spliff to yourself first time round, start light and go at your own pace.
Also in terms of the actual picking up part. This simple piece of advice will help you know end "If its brown, turn it down"
Good Luck!
