Getting high

I condone the use or marijuana and am enjoying its proterties as a write. However, my friend is getting high about three times a week. This is ok, except my friend is only 15 years old (16 in November). I don't think dope makes you stupider, but could it affect the developing brain. Any opinions or facts are kewl.

Hah, I was smoking weed like 5-7 days a week when I was 13. Kept it up all through my teen years.. maybe it did delay my mental development, but I think I turned out okay. 
(I don't smoke these days though)

I started smoking when I was 14. I really wish I had of waited until I was 18 or 19 to start. My dad was so right, telling me to "wait" to smoke. I'm 20 now, and don't enjoy smoking like I used to, and am in regret of how my highschool years went. Don't get me wrong, I had a blast, but I wish I had of waited.

I think it makes you more likely to skip out on school so I definitely wouldn't recommend it.

I hate this the shrommerys text is black and so is teh background in witch I am writeing so bare with me on my spelling
I have been smoking pot for ten yers no closer to nine Starting in like 1997 or somtihgn I f I think That I have stoped I think it makes me antiscoila The one thing you need to conscider when doing drugs is that we as humans only have a shelf life of about 0-105 years so there really isnt anything to worrie about. sure drugs might cut some time off buyt when your only functutional for the frist 75 years as long as you can get past that then your all good. This is too hard i cant make my piontnt ob black on black text so rry for this incohearant post

It definitely does make you more likely to skip out on school. I learned this the hard way smoking several times a day, 3-6 days a week my fi4rst year of college. If he keeps it to weekends he'll turn out fine though, IMO. There are a ton of stupid stoner kids, but there are also a ton of smart stoner kids, and WAY more stupid sober kids. If you're an idiot before you smoke weed, you're gonna stay dumb when you're stoned basically.

Of the few true stoners I'm friends with, 4 outta 7 are just dopers, and I don't see them going very far. These ones are my age, but it's hard to explain. I don't want to sound like I've experienced more, but I think they have less values about drugs. They spend pretty much their whole paycheck on pot. The other three are older than me by a year, but their childish days of smokin everyday and skippin school and work are over - so they've actually grown up. I've never had the money to be able to smoke everyday and I'm kinda glad, but I did get sucked into moderate opiate use - never really thought I was *cool* for doing so though, like those four kids I mentioned. Oh well.

I personally think it's really think its a person to person thing. they say that any habitual substance use at a young age certainly keeps your from developing and maturing in a certain way, they skip out on some developmental stages. LIke they tend to be a little more childish, i dunno. this is at least what they told me in a substance abuse class i had to take when i got cuaght smoking weed at school.
but like i said it's really a person to person thing, i know people who have been smoking pot for years and they are fine. my sister has been smoking pot every day since she was like 16 or so, she's now a 33 year old high school AP English teacher. i know others who still think they are in college.

Gentlemen. That is a complete load. During my early years with cannabis I also smoked regularly throughout the day while attending school. Though I do agree that at times Im sure it did not neccessarily help my education, I CAN however say that it never once made me skip a class, or loose a mark. I maintained perfect attendance and a damn fine grade average. Please don't couple poor decision making, and unmotivation with every underage cannabis smoker. And do remember, some people are simply still teenagers, and lets be honest, when else in ur life can u be a royal fuck up like ya can as a teenager .
*Edit* Note: I do not intend this as any kind of personal shot or insult perticularly to the quotes referenced in the beginning of my post

Everyone who smokes will be different. My first year of college I started smoking with everyone on my floor. It made me skip class be lazy etc. Yet my friend next door could take huge bong hits sit down and do Calculus work no problem. I think he is one of the rare cases though. For most people as long as it remains a recreational activity which doesn't prevent you from getting your shit done, it won't be a problem. If it starts to interfere with school,work,life etc its time to cut back.
I learned that lesson the hardway by screwing up my first 2 semesters in college

i refuse to give in to laziness when i smoke and have work to do espcially while i'm in school. i'll smoke my head off but get my work done. do drugs with life, not instead of life.

I only smoke on the weekends, or days off, now. I was just getting demotivated alot and wasn't getting very high when I did smoke. That's ridiculous, too, because I have dank buds all of the time, now. I just needed to moderate my herb usage like anything else.
