Answer 1

oh boy, yeah there are LOTS of boys your age smokin the dopester, i have a little brother like you, cant blame you too much!

a-if you are lighting up every day, and smoking a whole bowl, than yes

b-no, my OLDER brother,(both my brothers are and were pot heads) started smoking in 10th grade at the height of 6'. he grew to 6'3, and he was lighting up like twice a day, unfortunatly

c-again, it depends how much and often you smoke. it you do it enough, than probably yes. keep in mind i do not have a p***s,(thank god), so dont know exactly

d-have you ever heard the expression " a little bit goes a long way", it depends on what stage you are in, at this point. At 14, you are developing your body for the rest of your life. If you mess around with chemicals now, you could be s******g up something you would want for yourself in the future, like having kids, height, and a long pork sword. If you make a consistent habit of it, and your body has the same amount coming in every week, than you are creating a foundation. If i were you, i would only smoke it once a week.  

Answer 2

I am not telling your kids to smoke you see if they just say no it will be more for me

Answer 3

i remember tommy chong said,yeah you can smoke it,but you gotta be fit! work,do everything you need to.

if it gets in the way,maybe its not for you.

Answer 4

a. Not too likely but toxins resulting from any type of burning process can lower sperm count.

b. same as a. only for growth.

c. not very likely at all.

d. different for every individual, chronic smoking is more likely to influence you negatively obviously rather than occasional.

Answer 5

A lot of info regarding the 'side effects' of marijuana are untested or misrepresented due to the fact that it has a bad reputation, and the propaganda that follows it.

From my own independent uni research, I will answer the questions as best as I can

1) There is a possibility, but it depends on your current sterility, amount smoked, for how many years etc

2) No

3) No

4) about question 1, it depends on you individually. If you are 14 and you smoke it more and more so it becomes daily when you are now developing sexually, and you continue doing this for many years, the likelyhood goes up.

Also, some of those who have become sterile and quit completely do have some success at becoming verile again.

Im not having a go at you here (that would make me a hypocrite) but just make sure that you dont go hard at it before you have fully developed, so that when you are 20 you find out that you could be sterile.

There is also some evidence scientifically that marijuana can mentally affects those who smoke it when they are younger, especiallly men, so if you start having bad thoughts or get depressed, YOU ARE SMOKING TOO MUCH and need to get some help cutting down.

Ok best of luck to you!

Answer 6

A - No

B - No

D - Those are all just scare tactics.

Check out http://www.erowid.org/plants/cannabis/ca... that should answer any more questions you may have on it.

In California Medical Marijuana is prescribed to many patients suffering from various ailments. Your parents are just concerned and using scare tactics on you. ..

Answer 7

None of these are true.

My dad has smoked daily for who knows how long, and he's got 3 healthy kids.

Answer 8

Don't ask the question if you don't want certain people to answer.

If they scare you, just stop.

Worse things can happen from smoking pot then just having your growth stopped.

Answer 9

I believe that they're threats may be more applicable to cigarette smoking, or at least, thats what they say about cigs...But just remeber there is always some sort of threat when doing something like that to your body, mind or soul....!....i'll try not to say too much, but i smoked pot, so i think i do qualify...right ?
