How young is too young?

I started toking at about 17, and I think that was a pretty good time. Just old enough to realize the potential for addiction and look for this site to tell me how to avoid it.

IMO, 13 is really too young to be fully aware of the consiquences of smoking to your health and schoolwork, plus you're way too young to be associating with drug dealers (not that all dealers are bad people, its just more likely that they'll come in contact with people of a shady nature)
 
The cut off point should be around 10, after that as long as they know what there getting into...whats the problem it's only Marijuana. If it was legal they'd have easier access and would be able to vap or eat it. Not messing up there growing lungs.

I know I started around 10-11, but had the information to make a educated decision. I'd rather have a kid toke then drink or huff glue, because one way or another no matter the age, if you want to get high you will.
 
I started at 18... was never really introduced to it (good straight friends thruout highschool). I think 16 is the earliest I would have liked to get into it.
 
a god age to start exploring ones mind with any drug i guess is around 15-17. absolutely no earlier than 15 anyway, even though many tend to do so.

i think it is a good thing to know yourself (as much as one can) and become somewhat mature before going into altered states of mind.
 
the younger you start, the more ingrained drugging becomes into your life.
 
i started at 13 years old........But I wish I had waited until I was 18, I missed out on my childhood.

Im 18 (19 next month) and Ive smoked everyday since Ive been 15 and I SOOOOOO Fucking unmotivated.
 
I got into it at sixteen, but I gradually eased myself into the habit of smoking often. To tell you the truth, I'd say is the most important factor is if the person has a job. First off, it shows that they have enough maturity to be employed, and secondly it helps with money. It seems to me that kids who start smoking habitually at 13-14 run into money problems before they've graduated high school, and end up getting fucked over trying to scrounge up money to score..
 
i say 12 is too young cause 13 is around the age where kids start to get curious about pot and liquor

so yeah 13 is good to try it i think
 
I am currently 15 and I first tried pot last year. Since then I'd smoked maybe 5 times. With the kind of parents I have, I can't be open about it, but I can't handle hiding it and being distrusted by my parents either. Financial issues also play a role in why I don't smoke much.

I would happily start smoking pot more often when I get a job and my own place to live. :)
 
i first got drunk when i was 11, stoned when i was twelve.
theres no specific age imo, but when your ready and mature enough, be it 12, or 25
 
i tried pot a couple of times when i was 12-14, but that was about 3 times total. then i started again at 17.
 
I really don't think there should be an age limit. The law doesn't discriminate on age, why should we? I mean fuck if its illegal for every age why should anyone be more pissed at a 13 year old trying it than a 30 year old. IF anything the 30 year old will get in trouble, not the 13 year old (with the police).

Thats not to say i endorse someone of the age 13 trying it, but if we are simply following laws here then i don't see why there is a problem.

I tried pot the summer of gr 7. I tried drinking in gr 8. Guess which i became extremely ill upon taking too much? Alcohol, surprise surprise. IF i was to penalize my son for pot or alcohol at an early age it would be for alcohol. At least i know he wont be passing out or having to have his stomach pumped.

Cut your little buddy some slack, hes just curious. I think you need to talk to him about safe use, cause chances are hes not gonna stop because he got in a little trouble, well not if he was like me. Tell him some of the side effects of use and let him make wiser choices. Just be happy he isnt smoking cigarettes!
 
i started when i was 14.

if it were to be legalized there is NO reason it should not be legal for 18 year olds, especially seeing as tobacco is legal at age 18 and it KILLS people unlike marijuana which is legal is 13 states for medical use and more states each year are legaizing it.
 
i smoked for the first time when i was 9 or 10 and every few months from then untill i was 14 or 15 then every few days untill 17, and then from age 17 untill 21 multiple times daily, im 22 now and i dont smoke at all ever but i always wonder if me smoking at such a young age has anything to do with me having a slight baby face at 22,

i wouldnt trade it for the worls tho the smiddys love it
