How bad is it for an 11 year old to smoke weed?

Question

lets say they hav 10 times:-)

Answer 1

Well it's not good, but it won't stunt your growth or do brain damage or anything like that.  

The drug should hit you a little harder and who knows what subtle effects it might have on your brain.  Your brain is still developing.

Also it's never good to draw burning smoke into your lungs.

Marijuana is not a really dangerous drug.  Getting high on pot is certainly better than getting drunk, at -any- age.  I just worry about that tender age.  It'd be better if you waited until you were, say, 18.

Answer 2

not good. you really could be causing permanent problems that you wont even know about for years. there is little government science on this so nobody knows for sure.10 times is enough for now. Play it safe and put a pause on this until later. there is a reason that this is classified as a drug and is outlawed. a young brain should not be exposed to it at all. you ae still young enough to achieve a "natural high" that is just as good without smoking it at all.

Answer 3

It's very bad for you.  You don't want smoking to become a habit.  It's worse for you than tobacco.  People will argue with me for saying that but it's true.  The reason people don't get the usual smoking diseases from marijuana that they get from tobacco is because people smoke 20-40 cigarettes a day but people who smoke a lot of weed might smoke 1 joint a day.  Also, a joint contains less marijuana than a cigarette contains tobacco.  So yes, marijuana is about ten times worse for you than tobacco, but no you don't see people getting emphysema from weed.  QUIT SMOKING.

Answer 4

it messes with your head reallll bad.

Answer 5

Very bad, smoking marjiuana kills your brain cells and they can't be replaced.  Marijuana use reduces learning ability. It limits the capacity to absorb and retain information,users fall short on memory as well as math and verbal skills. Continued use causes structural damage to portions of the brain essential to memory and learning. It can delay the onset of puberty in young men and reduce sperm production. It will cause failure to master vital interpersonal coping skills or make appropriate life-style choices and can inhibit maturity.

In Short this is what you have to look forward to after your high if you smoke weed:

Impaired perception.

Diminished short-term memory

Loss of concentration and coordination

Impaired judgement

Increased risk of accidents

Loss of motivation

Diminished inhibitions

Increased heart rate

Anxiety, panic attacks, and paranoia

Hallucinations

Damage to the respiratory, reproductive, and immune systems

Increased risk of cancer

Psychological dependency

Answer 6

VERY BAD all drugs are bad for your health including nicotine and alcohol... and that's not just for 11 yr olds thats for everyone

Answer 7

Marijuana is a herbal drug. It mainly relaxes your body. I would say wait until your body is more developed to continue smoking it.

Answer 8

I would agree with what the other YA members are saying.  It is not good because the brain of an 11 year old is still developing.  

It is still illegal, but if you are going to experiment with marijuana, wait until you are at least 18.

If you're going to participate in YA, wait until you're 13...because 11 is really too young.

Answer 9

Very bad. Your brain and hormones and body are all still growing and forming. Weed can damage that really fast and permenantly. Stop taking the weed.

Answer 10

Your brain is still growing and its vulnerable to damage. Plus you yourself have a lot of emotional and cognitive learning to do and marijuana can interfere with that. Give yourself a chance to mature.
