How young is too young?

[IAmJacksUserName]

Does anyone have a link to information on pot's effect on brain development? Because I can't find anything that suggests that moderate marijuana use stunts brain development (Not saying it's not true).

i say u cant penalize a kid for smokin when they were 13... because i mean shit.. i started smokin when i was like 12.. lol so its no biggie. now if the shit head was like 9 then yeah or even 10... i dont think 13 is too young

The age varies on maturity:
10-15 - Pot
13-16 - Alcohol
15-18 - Psychedelics
16-20 - Amphetamines, Benzos, Opiates, Cocaine

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

You say 2 weeks like it's a long time for mushrooms. Dude, get your head straight, mushrooms are NOT WEED, they are a hallucinogen not something that you should be doing every 2 weeks at 15..

15 or 16 would be the youngest probobly

i started taking drugs, probably including pot at age 18...

i dont think i was mature enough to begin taking drugs, but luckily for me, nothing bad eventuated out of it.

i'm not really able to guage other peoples maturity, however if i were to choose an age at which people were mature enough to handle pot (and other drugs), it'd be at least 19.

it's not until 19, 20, 21 that i began to gain a real awareness of the future and some sort of responsibility. before this age, my mentality was much more biased towards fun... i'm not saying i dont have fun anymore, i'm just much more sensible about it.

at 16-19, while i was maturing, i often thought i was way more mature than i really was... and unfortunately this results in unwittingly making mistakes.

I realize this now. Silly me! What was I thinking 8(

I do not smoke cannabis anymore as it brings out my anxiety even more and the high just isn't worth it for me. But I am 16 now and have seriously rethought all my ideas and 2 weeks is NOTHING I relise now.

Now it's going to be used in moderation like no other. All it takes is one bad experience to change your thoughts completely (found out the hard way). Still going to use mushrooms but only with the right people and currently the people I am hanging out with I do not feel comfortable enough to do them with.

My main point is here is its good to wait until your older I would say 18+ because cannabis high isn't great in my opinion, I now suffer horrible anxiety but I do not regret any of the experiences they have all been worth it. Every single minute

Ok ......so my g/f's little brother got cought with a bowl (pen and tinfoil lol) and a lighter..

How do you know it was weed? Could have been CRACK!

 

[gr4nt]

i started about a year ago and im 16 now

 

[Blehimjake]

Ive been smoking since i was 17 and ive smoked with one of my buddy's friends that had to be at least 12-13, looked like a baby with a bowl in his mouth, and to top it off, when we were done smoking he had the nerve to ask me for a cigarette. People start smoking way to early, I think that people should start smoking when they are mature enough to handle everyday problems and fend for themselves (ie:Have your own job and not rely on mommy and daddy to support your smoking.)

 

[Jabberwocky]

i started at 14, i wish i had started earlier 'cuz i love weed. but i dont think it matters how old u r if u mature enough to handle it. has anyone else noticed how stupid ppl act when they get high for the first couple of times?? in my experience, age doesnt matter, u get stoned for the first time and u act stupid as hell. lol

 

[Blazed420]

im 15 been smokin since i was 14

 

[KISS]

imo, as long as the individual is mature enough to accept all the positives and negatives that may come and go with pot, then it's ok.

13... I can't help but think what a tool.. thats really young. One of my friends was 14 when she started pot. I think it's young but also because she's not fully mature enough.

Just be careful d00d !!

 

[vietboi_paul]

i'd say 15 is a good age.
13 is a bit young need to mature a bit.. mentally that is.

I first had a cone when i was year 8 so 12-13 i think? At the time i didn't think that was too young but now to think about it my brother is almost that age and i can't imagine him smoking weed. Although i was a lot more mature at that age then he is and more i suppose you could say educated about drugs (always been interested). I'm 16 now and i smoke almost every day but i don't let it get in my way of my life school-wise. I don't understand how some people were smoking at 10 and 11? How do their parents not notice at all?

 

[wArEhOuSePuNk]

I started smoking when I was 12 or 13,because of influence of older peers & cousins. I really dont think your mature enough to make the decision to use any drug until your at-least 17-18.

The gov. has lied so much about drugs over the years (pot & ecstasy studies) . I dont believe any of it..... Thats their own downfall when it comes to keeping kids away from "hard drugs". Nobody believes the lies anymore.

 

[kocher]

I think it's too young too.age of 20 is normal
