Teens smoking weed..Is it a good idea ?

I started smoking at the age of 14 and began smoking regularly just before the age of 15. I have noticed an increase in paranoia - however I have learnt to deal with this and it no longer is as bothering as it used to be. I also find that after stopping regularly smoking for a few days I would hit mild depression until I smoked again and was extremely stressed out.
The problems are all short-term and can be stopped by cutting down on toking for a while or just reminding myself to wise up.

Lack of motivation also seems to affect things, but mainly only whilst high, although my school grades improved.
 
part of the parinoia is caused parially by the prohibition and not the weed

and lack of motivation is something you get over yourself, its called now being lazy, you push yourself to do things, if your just gonna be lazy when you smoke pot, stop smokign so you don't make cannabis look bad and you have people who know you use you in an example "pot just makes you into a lazy person just look at (insert name here)


and james martin have you watched the union, the smoke would only cause brain damage if you were deprived of oxygen, when your hitting weed your getting oxygenaswell, and then you suck in some air too, so your body is still getting oxygen

If you're directing this at me I suggest you read over my post as I explained that these were easily overcome. Regarding motivation I think that no matter what argument weed does make you lazier while you're high, or more lethargic - maybe it's the strains I smoke or the amount I smoke but I have gathered this from personal experience and witnessing those around me. In small doses fair enough it doesn't really make you lazy, but when I smoke I like to get fairly stoned and so I would prefer to sit and chill rather than go out for a run.
 
i wasnt directing it at you, i was directing it at society in general

i find i only start feeling lazy and cloudy once i have a ciggarette but my first smoke of the day isn't like this,

and you can sit and chill when its relax time, but you hsouldnt do that 24/7
if your actually gonna smoke all day everyday, start you day with small buzzes, enough to make boring meaningful tasks fun and see the glow of earth, and then after youve acomplished thigns for the day, then you get really cannoned baked and sit on yoru ass, its not being lazy its relaxin, you already acomplished shit
 
^ I find that a slight change in mindset also helps as I realized.

If you think that you will be lazy after your high then you probably will be .

But if you simply don't think about the lazyness it fine .


I am seriously starting to think that it's a rumour. like there was probably a propaganda ad that started this "burnout" phonemonen . But infact the only reason people got the burnout was because weed is a psycadellic and when you get something in your head your likeley to display/think about that when your high an in this case it's stuff like
lazyness .

+ too much reading on blight doesn't help either . You kinda OVERstudy which can make you a bit paranoid .
 
+ mr fluffykins ... I think for a teen it's kinda bad to blaze so that you can make boring tasks more fun.
Isn't that life ? Most of it is boring . It's not exactly a fairground ride.

So avoiding these meaningful but boring tasks as a teen is bad as your just hiding from these problems and when the teen becomes an adult he/she is screwed lol as they haven't learnt to cope as a teen .

Btw I'm basing this on how adults tell me that "life isn't exactly a fairground ride" an how a lot of the time you are doing things that you don't necessarily want to do .

That's life . And smoking weed TO COPE isn't really a good .

However . Smoking weed just for the sake of getting high is fucking fantasticccc!
 
mayb ul b lucky like my mates and have no trouble,i smoked heavy from 13. instead of breakfast i make a space youghurt.then have 4 or 5 rockets/buckets then catch bus 2 school.that was late 14yr old i think.once,coz i didnt eat breakfast and smoked more than usual i had a f siezure in woodwork.but at 16 i felt good smokin but by 17 i was startin 2 get socially nervous.then i found heroin.take care and if u start 2 get panicy mayb slow the pot down.but my mates can still smoke like they allways have lol
 
yep no oxygen 2 the brain kils cells.thats why sniffing glue is bout worst thing a kid or any1 can do.now i know there is a big difference between the 2,but same priniple-brain deprived im might go as say starved of oxygen and cells bit. i think thats u end up with frostbite.it gets so cold the xtremeties r cut off from oxygin and the cells die.same idea,just finger not brain.anyway i go on-smokikg does kill them mate-i think not so much the smoke alone but holdin it and other things.be careful!

^1) good explanation man .

2) why couldn't your friends smoke again? I've heard about this with adults who used to smoke dope simply can't anymore without experiencing things such as paranoia , etc.
I always wonder why this is :-S

And thanks guys for all the replies .
Keep em coming .

Yep. paranoia, anxiousness, mental instability, self reflection, depression.. think about all the bad effects of weed and triple it.. Its seriously so common. Sometimes people describe an event or a turning point, other times its just a gradual thing that developes...

I think this thread is probably the scariest part of prohibition. Teens should not be smoking. Im going to be looking at all these 13-16 yr olds now looking for signs they are high...
 
The assumption that weed kills brain cells is largely unsubstantiated and based on an experiment where monkeys were given gas masks filled with weed smoke--this resulted in the false assumption that the weed was what killed the monkeys' brain cells. In actuality, the monkeys had killed brain cells because they were asphyxiated with smoke and not allowed to breathe air.

Anyway, if you are curious about this subject here are a few resources to look up at a local library:

Heath, R.G., et al. “Cannabis Sativa: Effects on Brain Function and Ultrastructure in Rhesus Monkeys.” Biological Psychiatry 15 (1980): 657-690.

Ali, S.F., et al. “Chronic Marijuana Smoke Exposure in the Rhesus Monkey IV: Neurochemical Effects and Comparison to Acute and Chronic Exposure to Delta-9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in Rats.” Pharmacology Biochemistry and Behavior 40 (1991): 677-82.
 
thank you sunshinefix. some people just dont know how to think logically. if smoking prevented your brain from getting oxygen, why would millions of people be doing it right now? if you werent getting enough O2 to your brain, your face would turn blue. Ive never seen, heard or read of anyone's face turning blue due to getting high. Nitrous? yes, numerous times. after seeing a friend try to ghost hit a a whip-it. As for it causing amotivational syndrome, I see it like this; If you dont have motivation to do the things that you need to be doing and start considering your reality, a lack of motivation is most likely not the most pressing issue..
 
Ganja!

So would you guys say that your short term memory is affected in the long term?

I thought it was only a short term effect from weed ?

And also, is that true !!! Weed slows receptors down !??!? Ifso will my brain recover after this long of me smoking ?
