Should i try marijuana when I'm older?

Question

I'm 16 and I'm a pretty good kid and i just wanted to try marijuana when i got older just to try it because I've always lived by the motto "live life to the fullest" and i just wanted to know if i should. i would do it somewhere where its legal such as Amsterdam and would only do it once in my life just to see what it feels like and because i know of the dangers it can cause. i just wanted to know if this sounds like a good/bad idea or not.

Answer 1

heck no.

unless you wanna be really dumb.

it kills your brain cells.

Answer 2

Coming from someone your age I say go for it. Marijuana is an experience, and as someone who is in process of receiving a highly accredited International Baccalaureate diploma I can certainly say that trying it is not going to: kill you, make you an addict, make you dumb, or ruin your life. Although, I will agree with other answerers when I say that a habitual Marijuana habit will make you more dim and goal less. I say give it a try, and don't make it a habit.

Answer 3

Yeah, try it.  Marijuana is not very addicting at all, contrary to what some of the posts in this thread would have you think.  There are far more dangerous and addictive over-the-counter and prescription drugs.

Answer 4

If you are going to experiment with any drug then it might as well be Marijuana. Alcohol and prescription drugs will millions of people every year while no one has ever died (as far I've researched it) from the active narcotic in Marijuana. Be careful though... It might open your mind and make you see the world in ways you never imagined! It might make you extremely creative and relaxed! OMG!!!!! It will definitely make you very very hungry so make sure you have alot of food in the house!

Answer 6

Only you can answer this question.

I will tell you a little about my own experience however.

I have seen good friends ruin their lives with drugs.

I have seen people escalate from weed to hard drugs.

I have also been people stay with weed their whole lives and not change to something stronger.

I have been the girl who said she would only try it once, but once was good and got me hooked.

I enjoyed it so much I smoked between classes in my car and then before work, during my lunch break, and after work. I go to a great university and have a great job.

Now Im in the netherlands for school and amsterdam is about an hours drive from where Im staying.

I wont be visiting any coffee shops for weed while Im here...because I recently quit my 6 year habit 4 months ago. I have never felt so clean in my entire life. I have extra spending money that doesnt go to pot. I have fun trying to figure out what I can do to get a natural high (hiking,reading good books, gardening,easy stuff like that) and I appreciate the fact I tried weed...I even dont mind that I became addicted..but I am most thankful for the fact that I was able to quit. To walk away. I see a therapist because I used weed to treat many off my emotional problems and physical pain.. but Im better off without the substance..

Do what you feel is right . :)

I hope I could be of some help...

Marijuana is the safest drug out there, so go ahead and use it, but just make sure it doesn't become a "gateway" drug for you. Marijuana is one of the few drugs in popular use today that is not very addictive and does  

Answer 8

i say yes but only in a safe envioment and around people who have tried it. i have tried both legal and illegal. one of the reason i did try everything i could get my hands on is that if my kids did ask me about them or wanted to try it i could give them my actruelly experiance and how i felt before during and after the fact but i would tell them how it effected me and how it may effect them differantly good or ill and then if they say how do you know i had a simple but truthful answer for i know that i myself was told no you souldnt do this or that god may strike you down, youll go blind and all by them that have never try it and by others who say smokes and alcholic arent drugs so i say try it but if you are able to and you have a loving and trusting friendship with your parents do what i did with my 2 children when they wanted try marijuana we sat at home in a safe envioment and they tried it with both of us. my daughtar is not addicited nor her older brother nor my wife as for me i have addictions and that is to anything that makes me feel good and at this very moment its my 16 month old grandaughter. Ps i still smoke marijuana. PPs it was such a laugh when we tried it with our kids it was like our first time as well we laugh so much we were crying and we had sore abb mussells Ps Ps i try it when i turn 13 im now 45 so old in your eyes. as u can see by my spelling it may have had an effecet but i put it down to i didnt like spelling maths or english or school if we werent doing p e or art. just keep safe and live life an so as a sayn goes never kick it till you try it and if you dont like it then kick it out then you have no regrets or what ifs    

Answer 9

Try everything.

Anything that's a mistake, you will at least learn something from it.

Answer 10

It's completely up to you.

Weed is not addictive, therefore you will not feel the need to take it again. Unless, of course, you just like the feeling of becoming high and decide to take it again.

Weed can cause long term psychological effects.

It's nothing great, i wouldn't recommend it at all. It's just a waste of money if i'm being completely honest.

Taking weed does not mean you would have 'lived life to the fullest'.

Answer 11

Heh interesting answers...try it theres really hardly any bad side effects trying it once. You may be dissapointed though as I see you think its a big decision.

Answer 12

Well, it wont kill you your first time.. ;) Keep lots of muchies around... lol... Have fun!

Answer 13

What exactly to you think you'd accomplish or benefit from this? If you want to live life to the fullest, don't try drugs of any kind!  

Answer 14

NO don't! Yes you may be doing it somewhere where it is all nice and legal and everything, but you WILL get ADDICTED, even if it is just from one time! People get addicted to marijuana after just one try because they like it so much and keep thinking "One more won't hurt..." and keep going and going. It will ruin your life, don't do it! The world has already lost enough minds from people taking marijuana, it does NOT need more people doing it!

Answer 15

once you try it, you will want more
