How young is too young?

Thug love i say that from experience. Using weed regularly has held me back from my ambitions, goals, and self love consequently. I have a problem only using occasionally. When i start smoking daily it quickly becomes the focus of my life... all i do is work enough to pay my bills, get high, eat junk food, and sloth out.

I dont feel like investing in my future or the lives of my future children, i am miserable with self loathing, but the compulsion to stay high is huge. The happiest times of my life have been when i havent smoked for months but i find it hard to get and stay sober.

My life would likely be much better had i never touched it... it could hardly be worse (barring something extreme like another addiction).

SAve yourself, quit now and never look back.
 
Started arounf the same age.. I think that its isnt too young.. but they shouldnt just let him smoke freely yet.. he has to go through some sort of shit for a while..

That doesn't mean that is the right age for everyone else. That was when I think I really matured mentally, about halfway through froshy year.

I agree fully with this staement, it all depends on the maturty of the person in question. If this kid is mature enough at 13 to know enough about it to want to do it then i think thats fine. It only becomes a problem when someone who isn't mature enough (at any age imo) starts because they become irresponsible with it very quickly. I started myself at 12/13, i'm 16 going on 17 now and i've been smoking basicly everyday since i started. But i have been mature enough to not let it effect my school work or my general motivation.
 
I don't think anyone is to young as long as you don't have assholes that pressure you to do shit. If you have peeps who know what they're doing then it really doesn't matter.
 
I first tried it at 16, started using once a week at 17 and stopped until I was 18. I think at 18 it is better because your an adult and at least here in CA where it is decriminalized if you get caught when you are a minor it is worse than at age 18. If are a minor they force you into drug classes and you have a record until 18 but at age 18 and you are caught your stash just gets thrown down a storm drain and you are sent on your way.
 
I started right around the time I was turning 15, and as far as I am concerned, I was far more mature than almost anyone in my grade. I still believe I was a bit young, but that's just for me, I feel that starting so earlier was a mistake and 16/17 would have been better. If/when I am a parent, I would want my kid to be in high-school before smoking weed, so that's 14ish.

It's an individual thing though, many people will never be old/mature enough to handle weed properly, and some probably could by the age of 12 or so.
 
Maybe you should help out your little brother and show him how to roll a joint. So he doesnt have to use a tinfoil crack pipe to smoke weed.lol :)
 
we start 'em young in alaska. my friend's 7 year old brother smokes weed and drinks alcohol. he started when he was 9. most my friends started when they were 11.

i never smoked 'til i was 19... was also the first time i shut off my computer and left my house : / . i'm the only person in my smoking circle who finished highschool. i think there might be a correlation.
 
since this was written in 04... that 13 year old is now approx... 17. not too young.
 
I was 15 when I started smoking. Now that I'm much older I think that it was waaaay too young. I should have been focusing on doing better in school so I could get into a way better college. It was just too much for me as a youngster, I guess. There was an ongoing conflict with my folks concerning it and I was arrested at 17 because of it, all which could have been avoided had I waited a few more years so I could smoke in my own apartment without having to worry about other people.

But hey, when you're that young I guess you're not thinking about your future. I remember smoking in all sorts of places I wouldn't dream of smoking now. Like in my car or at parks and crap. It's really no wonder I was caught when I was in high school.

So, I think you're too young when you still care about your parents catching you (aka, when you're ready to take responsibility for your own actions) and when you're in control of your own life.
 
13 here as well... seemsto be a common starting age from what ive heard from people. But just as ANY AGE, some people can handle smokin herb consistently and some cant...
 
I started at 13, i have to say that i woudlnt take it back and i know 12 and 13 year olds that do smoke weed as well but weed shoudlnt be taken lightly and you shoudlnt probbaly smoke to much at that age when your brain is devolping.

Id say anything below 12 is too young.
 
i've got a mates who is only 14 and he is still on track with school and so on. so just as long as there old enough to properly know what there doin, and do not go over bored i dont really see anything wrong with it?
 
Honestly is there really anyone that has ended up going to college that started burning at 12-14 that wouldn't go back and take it back?

I started burning at 14 and am now 20. Yeah I didn't lose track at school but alot of things i think back and think about all the MONEY i woulda saved, and i think alot IF i coulda done better... I really shoulda started burning after i got into a good college... Really regret that personally.
