How young is too young?

Relating to my own maturity/mindset and how I've developed... ideally I shouldn't of started smoking till now (18 just about)... but I would of missed out on some of the best days of my life pulling billies when I was 15 - 17... classic times.

How young is too young to be smoking pot?

Personally I think 13 is a resonable enough age to start at. I wouldn't say he should be smoking all the time but once a week wouldn't really hurt to much. :) I personally started when I was 13.

Hey! I use moderation with all substances. Wait at least 2 weeks between mushroom sessions and for cannabis, once - twice a week max.

mushrooms every two weeks is alot, especially for a 15 yr old. mushrooms are mos def worse for your brain than weed.

as for age: i started when i was 13, but I would do anything to be able to go back and not do it til AT LEAST 16. I say 16-18 are good ages to start. As for smoking weed every day, that is
never a good idea, i'm sorry, i know I'm gunna get shit for saying that but it just isn't healthy.

I started at about 13 myself...im only 15 not much experience but ive gone through alot...to be honest with u id try to stay away from it until ur out of ur parents house...my parents are fucking crazy about smoking weed and they go outta there way just to see if we leave any little things behind when they leave us home....I would say fuck your parents and smoke that chronic in there face
 
all right all right, IMHO:

there's a lot to figure out about ... everything ... life yourself and the thngs around you. I think if I started smoking or doing anything to mess up with myself when I was so young, I wouldn't have developed some of the strong inner-identity that I have now.

I suspect waiting until I was in my 20's to start smoking has allowed me to enjoy the simpler aspects of the herb and appreciate it more as a spice of life than a means of getting through the day.

There's just so much going on and developing internally and mentally that I think pot would mess up ..... or just delay some important questions and conclusions about life at such a young age.

However, whatever the age I think it is usefull and important to have a mentor to guide someone through drug use. This doesn't always end up being the right person ... but whatever.
 
You shouldn't smoke if you are 13 or under. I think I started when I was 14-15. I handled it a lot better than some of my friends did. I was always the youngest in my class so some of my stoner buddies were a year or 2 older than me I would probably have had a higher GPA if I wouldn't have started smoking/drinking when I was a sophomore, but I don't regret it. Starting when you are a freshman is the earliest I would allow in any kid of mine. I hate seeing middle schoolers doing ecstasy or middle school potheads and sluts.

The only thing I regret was that eventually I became a full blown pot head. I smoked all the time and didn't realize that being sober and having fun was O.K too. I know better now though.
 
i didnt start blazing till i was 17 and I am hella glad for it. I figure the earlier you start the eariler you move onto smoking more and more and maybe into trying other drugs...
 
DAAAAnnng I didnt know there were like 13-16 year old ppl on tis sight, I thought it was 18+

messed up shit

I started when I was 14, By 14 and a half I was toking about every day, at least 3 imes a week
 
started smoking right around when i turned 16. started smoking daily about 6 months after that. money was never a problem so i said fuck it.
 
I believe that once a kid reaches the age 13, he or she should be responsible for his or her own actions. That doesn't mean that smoking at that age isn't bad, it just means that if someone over the age of 13 wants to try it, its their own choice.

btw, according to jewish law once a boy reaches 13 he is considered a man. I'm not some religous freak, but that number just sounds right.
 
I don't really see a young age. I mean if a 6 year old is smoking, then that is strange, but it really depends on the kid. I first smoked when I was 9 and I don't think it was to young of an age for me. But a lot of kids who are 9 basically don't know what to do, what to expect, how to handle it, and where to keep it. I think in most cases today, once a kid is 12 or 13, they have enough sense to know what to do and how to handle it.
 
I didn't try weed till I was 18 and didn't smoke heavily till 19. I'm glad that i did it this way because I could make an informed decision about my use rather than being peer pressured by a bunch of older kids.

13 is definitely to young to be messing with any sort of mind altering substance. There is plenty of time later in life to try all sorts of things, there is no point risking your health and education at such an early age.
 
i started smoking when i was 15. around age 16 i was selling half ounces a day and smoking about an 8th-1/4 a day. age 17 got into so much drug related trouble (no marijuana charges) that i straight up quit weed cold turkey. Everyone says that its so hard but it wasnt hard to me. my friends even smoke right infront of me, i just crack another beer
 
i think that no age is too young, as long as you are mature enough to do it. i know these chicks who are like 14 and they jsut get stoned every day at school and run around making sure everyone knows it. most of the people who use pot regularly hate them. as long as its youre not doing it to be 'cool' and you are being safe with it then i think its ok
 
I wouldn't be so worried about the 13-year-olds smoking weed as I would be of the 13-year-olds popping pills and selling G to friends without warning them of the dangers. Hearing things like this makes me a little distressed.
