I guarantee if you start getting high at age 13, you won't get laid nearly as much as your friends that don't start smoking till way later.

Hope this gets your attention! :D

hahah wtf? i only had one friend who smoked when he was around that age and he was the biggest ladies' man in class...all these girls would hang out and smoke with him. girls love weed.

in some ways i'm sure it's better to try things at a younger age because you don't have as much responsibility as an adult does and may gain respect for drugs earlier on than someone who's inexperienced at an older age and can fuck up their life more easily. --

as an example, in many countries people begin drinking around 15-16. as a result, by the time they are 18+ and legally drinking in clubs they're more seasoned and able to handle their alcohol consumption.. these places have much lower incidence of drunk driving related accidents and fatalities than places like the US.. where the drinking age is 21.

the only thing that matters is your personality. just remember that with fun comes responsibility. if you can balance fun time and work time then you'll be fine.

13 is to young to start altering your brain chemistry

marijuana is considered a safe drug because it doesn't alter brain chemistry. Cannabinoids (in marijuana) bind to the cannabinoid receptors already present in the brain and make them more active. This is what makes you high...there is no depletion of chemicals in the brain.

will start getting you in the "habit" of getting high for fun.

yea god forbid anyone gets high for fun. i guess everyone can drink for fun tho..since that's legal and obviously so much safer than smoking weed. 8)
 
Tell your parents to go eat a dick! Then go take a huge bongblast out of a black cockshaped bong, and blow it in their faces!
 
I think Roger&me's statement about getting laid less is certainly true in the majority of circumstances. I have to say, there is a bit of propaganda-esque "just say no" sort of attitudes being put forth in this thread, we all have to remember this is a harm reduction board and there is only so much discouragement is appropriate, this thread is lacking in advice on how to go about doing this safely and responsibly and full of responses basically demonizing weed/drugs in general.
And to the gateway drug comments, GIVE US ALL A FUCKING BREAK and take your illogical opinions to an anti drug board.

About all drugs change existing neurotransmitters. How is that not altering brain chemistry? If a recreation drug didn't alter brain chemistry then it wouldn't be recreational.

Anyone can do what they want, but those who use mind altering substances as thier primary source for entertainment and fun generally become junkies and live mostly to get high, which describes most potheads I know. And I didn't mention alcohol at all, I'm just saying people who can only have fun by getting high generally suck and the OP doesn't need to be like that.

I'm not gonna argue with a pothead though, I learned not to waste the time long ago. I don't know many smokers who are willing to point out or accept the negatives of drug use. Its called denial.

To the OP, please be very careful. Marijuana use can open a gateway to use of other, harder, more dangerous and addictive drugs. Lots of kids smoke pot at 13, and lots of them end up in full blown addiction to other drugs within a couple of years.
Not everyone, but lots. Marijuana in itself is not that harmful but the thing is that more often than not, where there is pot other drugs are sure to follow. Kids your age are usually anxious to try new things and a kid that's into pot will probably want to try another drug sooner or later. A kid that's into pot will probably be exposed to other drugs sooner than a kid who doesn't smoke it.

Can you quit whenever you want? Not necessarily. Plenty of people are addicted to marijuana. Not a physical dependence, but a psychological addiction which is very real.

Can you control it? Not necessarily, that's the nature of addiction.

How long til something can happen to you? Maybe nothing will happen to you.But maybe sometime soon you'll be toking and someone will introduce another drug and you'll try it. And you'll like it. And you'll start actively seeking out that other drug to use along with your pot. And things spiral downward from there. Or maybe you'll just start to need the pot itself, and it will become your priority and will interfere with your life in a negative way.

You're smart to ask, and you'd be smart to just say no. It's not easy but it is always the best decision when you're still in middle school.

How are your grades by the way? Have you seen any of your friends who smoke pot getting in trouble because of it? How about other kids you know?
Is it worth doing?
It's illegal , you know. No matter how much fun it is it's not worth getting arrested for.

thanks for the info and advice everyone. I get good grades and people whoi kniow do it a lot get bad grades. ok but I guess if I can just do it once in a while no big?
 
I would strongly advise against getting into drugs at such a young age. Imo it will be more likely to give you anxiety issues (when smoking) with your developing mind. And at that age I'd say you're more likely to make stupid decisions.

Plus I highly doubt your are mature/responsible enough to make smart decisions when it comes to drugs. I'd wait till your older/more mature/mind is more developed.
 
thank you soooo much everyone foor the amazing advice. I can't believe I could get so much great advice and so many different point of views. I think now I'm probably going to wait to experiment with it. most pot heads I know are big fuck ups in school. maybee ill take a joint on occasion but I would be so careful not to like crave it and start it to take over like some of you said.
 
Make your own choices man, but it's good to hear that you are at least thinking of the consequences that could come with your drug use. I started getting high when I was real young too, and next thing I knew I was addicted to cocaineand got kicked out of school, arrested, and sent to a boys Juvenile Detention Camp for 6 months when I just barely turned 15. I'm 20 now and just kicked a nasty Heroin habit, after being homeless, broke, carless, and arrested who knows how many times.

I'm not saying this will happen to you by any means. Just know that it can happen, it has happened to me, and many other people I know.
 
about the gateway drug thing,

I would never have done pills and meth if i hadn't started smoking weed... Not weed's fault it's just that i became friends with my dealer and three years later ended up giving the other shit a go..

wasn't a major issue for me, and i don't really regret it, but hanging out with drug users does give you a more open mind to harder drugs (that's not necessarily a bad thing).
 
Most of me and my friends were smoking by age 13/14. Most of us, or them and I, are fucked up by addiction in one way or another. Utterly not worth it at all. Weed will still be around when the OP's older and better equipped to take it on. Being 13 is damn trippy in itself :)
 
Much too young wait until your much older apparently safest time is after you have finished going through puberty (most growth of the brain) for girls like 20 guys mayb mid twenties. Just guesses. I started at 16 im now 17, im a hypocrite.
