ok well ive been smoking pot for about a year now, and i only do it about 1 time a month on average. i am only 16 but i havent done it for at least 4 months now, ever since i met this amazing girl who i am best friends with now, and since i came to go to school here in mexico and stuff for a while. but anyways, when she asked me if i smoked pot i told her i tried it but i dont do it anymore, and ever since i said that i havent done it, but i know that if something doesnt work out between us i will be more than happy to go back to the us and get blazed as **** with all my friends. so well rite now i have no urge to smoke it at all, but i know i probably will again in the future. al i want to know is, is it really that bad, i mean i understand all the health risks and all that, and the effects arent that bad but i guess i just dont really have any reason not to do it... what is your oppinion? is there any reall reason i shouldnt go back to smoking pot? thanks for your input.
As long as smoking doesn't interfere with school/relationships or anything else, then i don't see the problem in doing it. I do it every week or so and i still get A's/B's in all my classes. As long as it is not becoming an addiction, then there are really no health problems that you should worry about. (Also don't listen to anyone who says its mentally bad for you, all that $hit is made up by the government during the "Refer Madness" era in the 40's)

Just use it in moderation and don't let it control your life. It is like drinking. Nothingw rong with having a drink or two on the weekend or drinking socially but if you need to be drunk all the time you have a problem. Approach weed the same way.
I smoke the dubya almost everyday as long as I have the cash. Wish I could quit the cigs so I could spend that money on more dubya.

I wish people would hide other free drugs in my nugs. Love me some judy-fly.
But it's true, some people are effected strangely. I seem to be immune to the stupification effects of mota.

This sentence alone suggests you are NOT mature enough nor educated enough on the subject to be even contemplating using it again. It DOES have very bad effects. My uncle has schizophrenia because of his heavy use during his teen years. A woman at work's son just killed himself because he also had schizophrenia from his use of pot. It happens, and it doesn't just happen to idiot junkies who are into the hard stuff. It has been proven to be unsafe, yet somehow it is not treated as life threatening when it IS.
I am not one to judge, seeing as I was a part of that 'crowd" whilst a teenager. But at least be aware of the risks you are taking. I used to always get so annoyed with adults saying "you aren't invincible, this can ruin your life." But now when I look back on my old friends, NONE of them have done anything with their potential. One of them, he was so smart, good looking and a great guy. Now getting one word out of him is like pulling teeth. He is just stupid lazy and an all out bum. This was my first love!
Just enjoy your teen years without a full time haze and you will appreciate it all the more so.

Marijuana is, when used with moderation, harmless.
Smoking it once a month won't have any affect on you health-wise.
Now, if you know you have mental issues (autism, schizophrenia, depression) you should not mess with drugs at all (not even alcohol).
And if you've done it once and the experience was negative, don't do it again.
The real problem with Pot is when you use it 24/7.
It numbs you out and you won't be able to do your daily work properly.
And one last thing:
Marijuana is a gateway drug, most people that are addicted to harddrugs once started out using Marijuana. Not getting high on Marijuana anymore means you're doing it too much, don't go try out other drugs.
Your brain is still developing- why not wait until it stops? Give yourself a couple of years and come back to it as an adult. Pot will still be there- can't imagine its going to be wiped off the face of the planet anytime soon.

Pot does not give you schizophrenia, but it will accelerate the development of it in someone that would have most likely developed it anyway!
My best friend in high school, who had schizophrenia in a close family member, developed his condition soon after graduation and after a couple years of drug use. I think it was the acid, not the pot, that finally pushed him over.
Mental illness and most drugs do not mix.
I would however suggest that if you have something like autism, post traumatic stress, or anxiety, you should research MDMA.
As far as pot being a "gateway drug" is concerned, this is a silly term. Alcohol is a gateway drug. What is a gateway drug? Nothing is a gateway drug!
The only reason people call it that is because it is the first illegal substance that people tend to come in contact with and use.
Agreed that pot is called a gateway drug only because more people use it. Because more people use it than coke or any other hard drug you are more likely to try it first.
I smoked pot for 2 year almost everyday then stopped. It was causing depression and anxiety for me. I still smoke every once and while.
I dont see anything wrong with it unless it becomes a big part of your life

It does not have bad effects on EVERYONE. Your uncle might not have had schizo. BECAUSE of smoking weed. It might have already been present and smoking accelerated it. I am not condoning this kid smoking, but we dont need to scare him into thinking that smoking it is going to cause such huge psychological problems.
Also josie, weed is a plant, there are not many things you can "put in it".
Also, It is not a gateway drug. I agree with Blurpie that it can be seen that way because a lot of people who do "harder" things started with weed. Lets be honest.....a LOT of people have smoked weed in their life. I myself have smoked for going on 6 years now, and have never ever even thought about doing anything harder like coke, heroin, even ecstacy. And dont say that smoking makes you less intelligent or motivated. All of that has to do with "who you are" before you smoked.
If anyone wants to debate me on this topic feel free.

I used to work with men who had schizophrenia. Let me clear something up that I had to teach in life skills classes at the mental hospital -- Smoking pot or using ANY drugs DOES NOT CAUSE SCHIZOPHRENIA. Schizophrenia is a mental illness that has a genetic basis. There is also a form caused by the mother contracting a virus while pregnant. Drugs and alcohol do not cause mental illness. The excessive use of drugs and alcohol is a sign that mental illness is pre-existing.
Thanks.
