Question

Answer 1

It would be stupid for you to do it.  Think about it, what do you have to gain by it?  When you get older, you'll realize what a bunch of losers your cousins are, wasting their life on chronic.  

Have you ever seen your cousins accomplish anything?  Especially when they're blazed.  It's a waste of time, money, and a life.  

Answer 2

It's illegal to smoke weed! You need to decide if you really want to take that risk. There aren't that many negative side affects from it just a change in attitude. Smoking is a personal decision so don't do it just to be cool!

Answer 3

Your only 13 i wouldnt smoke weed at that age, ive smoked it before n all you do is lie about cant be botherd to do nout n eattt like anything lol but the more you smoke it the more addicted you become and paranoid aswell, my advice i wouldnt listien too them! there supposed to be your cousins and look after you not tell you to smoke weed! :)

Answer 4

no! forget about it. do you honestly want to sit around brain dead and eating and getting fat and kill your brain cells? get smarter than that. just stay away from your cousins if that's all you want to do when around them. they are horrible role models.  

Answer 5

there are definitely dangers to smoking weed, and you should not do something just because everyone else is doing it.  You are only 13, you do NOT need to be involving yourself in drugs.

Answer 6

well if you smoke it in  joint, thats really unhealthy but in a water pipe is the most effecient and safest way to induce it. But not when your 13 it will definetly stunt your growth and not to mention down below.

Answer 7

no, peer presure it hard especially in the adolescence age, it's not worth it, it make you get memory lost, just cuz everyone is doing doesnt mean you should do it dont be  a follower be a leader!

Answer 8

where the h**l are your parents? A 13 year old should not be smoking weed .... try to be a leader not a follower. Don't follow the bad traits of others but inspire them to follow your good traits instead. And know that there are ALWAYS consequences for everything you do. Always

Answer 9

i wouldn't.

my cousins, aunt, uncle, and my dad all do.

AND my grandpa and my mom have in the past.

AND my friends dad does, and like all my dad's friends do.

but i never have. and i'm never gonna start.

just google the side affects. it can be VERY dangerous. trust me, you'll never wanna start.

i feel for you though, it's kinda like you're being left out. but when you grow up and have your own life, you'll show them that you can still be cool w/o ever smoking.

Answer 10

You shouldn't start smoking anything. You are 20% more likely to develop emphysema smoking weed than you are cigarettes. There are nothing but detramental effects to smoking weed. Stay away from drugs and stay in school.

Answer 11

In my opinion, you should give it a try. Whether you like it or not, is your own choice. Biggest problem with weed, is that it's a gateway drug.

But alone, it's much less destructive than cigarettes.

Answer 12

like a complete and utter moron who just had to follow the other sheep, I was stupid enough to start smoking weed when I was 12. What a absolutely dumba$$ thing I did..because I was still hooked on it at 19, with no job, stoner mates and wasting oxygen *sigh* god knows what it did to my brain cells :(

Im older (and hopefully wiser) and when I look back, I wish Id done more with my life, instead of throwing away my education and my teenage years. I got back on track @ 20, but by then, alot of friends had left me behind or moved to much greener pastures. Along the way, some friends tried heavier drugs, so called better drugs..and died :(

please dont start smoking it..any high aint worth the consequences :(

Answer 13

well ive been in and out of jail because of my habits so the best answer would be no, it could lead to plenty of unforseen troubles, and its a gateway drug which will possibly lead to the use of other more dangerous drugs (which indeeed lead me to the use of cocaine, meth, ectacy, acid ect) quitting all these drugs only lead me to a severe alchol issue, gaining me some time in jail and a fat felony. im stuck on probation right now, and its not fun. became a stoner at age 11 and its been a rugged 8 years since then, but ive learned from all my mistakes and have straightened up and am very wise to the subject of your question..it might sound like a joke, but dont do drugs, keep yourself focused on school and education and do something good for yourself, you could end up severly regreting some of the consequenses if you dont. good luck!

Answer 14

no you should not because if you do you may like how it feels and therefore become addicted and one waste money and two act stupid and mabye poentially kill yourself. Also it does cost money and if you do it you are stupid and only hurting yourself and setting yourself up for worse things in life

Answer 15

i will give you the facts:

in all the thousands of years pot has been

around NO ONE has died of an overdose.

pot stays in the system for 3 months.

pot is NOT addicting whatsoever unless it is laced.

when pot is laced that is when another drug has been

mixed with pot.

but as for smoking it, just know its a 'gateway drug' you

might not do any other drugs, just know

there is a possibility.

Answer 16

You are 13, so no not yet, I've heard if you smoke pot before you are 16 your brain is not fully developed and that it does permanent damage...The best thing for you is to laugh at your cousins and read! Go to school, and read some more!  

Answer 17

its dangerous i knew someone who did weed and it was laced with some other drug and he had to be rushed to the ER. and almost died.. i also know alot of kids who do it at my school and trust me about no one has respect for them..and the people in school will know you as the kid that does weed.

Answer 18

OH my god, these people answering this question act like your going to die. it will not hurt you at all, maybe over a few years of smoking weed consistently it will slow you down a tad. its bad on your lungs too. but your 14, and experimenting is good. for the soul. go out there and get high, and have a good time. you wont get addicted. but you want to be precatious and carefull. it is a gateway drug, believe me from experience. But go smoke some pot!

Answer 19

Why not spend time reading a vocabulary or spelling book rather than getting high.  

Seriously...enrich your mind, read as much as you can, go to school, pay attention to the lessons you are taught.  That is the ONLY way you can ever make anything out of yourself.  Forget stupid weed.  Its not going to do ANYTHING to help you in this life.

Answer 20

if  you want man b***s, and a crappy job and no money in your pocket. dont do it i know from experience.  you will get lazy. watch your friends in a couple of years wont have nothin and probably be on other drugs to.    not every ones like this but most are

Answer 21

theres actually nothing too bad about weed except you get really hungry

its just a scary story made up by liberals to keep teens in line

answer mine: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...

Answer 22

don't do it man. 2 of my best friends did it and they got so obsessed with it they moved on to other drugs and we stopped being friends, 1 dropped out of highschool and joined the army and the other one dropped out of college. this also happened to a bunch of other kids i know from school. you'll waste all your money on it, thats all every one of them ever wants to do.

Answer 23

hah, no way bro,

so many of my friends do it,

its stupid, and pointless,

if you try it, youll possibly get addicted to the feeling you get when you do it,

Answer 24

It's illegal

Your cousins are bad influences

If they ask you, say-  

"I don't smoke weed, I smoke clown like you on the b-ball court

Marijuana impinges on the central nervous system by attaching to brain's neurons and interfering with normal communication between the neurons. These nerves respond by altering their initial behavior. For example, if a nerve is suppose to assist one in retrieving short-term memory, cannabinoids receptors make them do the opposite. So if one has to remember what he did five minutes ago, after smoking a high dose of marijuana, he has trouble. Marijuana plant contains 400 chemicals and 60 of them are cannabinoids, which are psychoactive compounds that are produced inside the body after cannabis is metabolized or is extorted from the cannabis plant. Cannabinoids is an active ingredient of marijuana. The most psychoactive cannabinoids chemical in marijuana that has the biggest impact on the brain is tetrahydrocannibol, or THC. THC is the main active ingredient in marijuana because it affects the brain by binding to and activating specific receptors, known as cannabinoid receptors. "These receptors control memory, thought, concentration, time and depth, and coordinated movement. THC also affects the production, release or re-uptake (a regulating mechanism) of various neurotransmitters."(2) Neurotransmitters are chemical messenger molecules that carry signals between neurons. Some of these affects are personality disturbances, depression and chronic anxiety. Psychiatrists who treat schizophrenic patient advice them to not use this drug because marijuana can trigger severe mental disturbances and cause a relapse.  

Answer 25

There are dangers to anything you would smoke. The question you need to answer for yourself is, why do you want to join them? You want to act crazy and eat a whole bunch of stuff too? You don't want them to laugh at you? It seems like peer pressure to make you do what they are. You're 13...maybe do a little research to see what the effects of smoking marijuana are? Don't take people's word for it. Everyone has an opinion, and their thoughts and opinions might not be best for you!

Wait...check on it...don't just do something because others are doing it and might be making you feel badly because you're not following along.  

Answer 26

Nah, they're wrong -- about 15% of the population finds it addictive, it can make you lazy, it can interfere with your memory, it can make you stupid, and it's a gateway drug that can lead to harder drugs. By the time you're into high school, some of those same kids are going to be addicted to hard drugs.

A bit much for some stupid giggles, if you ask me.

I'm not going to say you absolutely should never do it, I did it myself when I was a teen, but it ISN'T harmless or anything near and you have to know that so you can make an informed choice.

Answer 27

Just know that the effects of marijuana are very detrimental to your health. It decreases the sperm count in males, and there is a higher risk of developing lung cancer when you are still young, even greater than cigiarettes because there are numerous toxins that are unfiltered.

Also- I had a friend who couldn't get pregnant with his wife because his sperm count was too low from smoking weed for years and years, so think about that.

Answer 28

i don't think you should honestly, 13 is young- you feel so old now, but in a couple of years you'll look back and say... wow, I was so little then... If you want to smoke weed, then do it, but know that though it is not always dangerous, it CAN be.

I think the most important thing to do is make up your own mind and not smoke the weed just becauseyour cousins are doing it. Even if you do/don't smoke weed, just make sure it's because you chose to do it, not because you were pressured by ANYONE, including yahoo people. :)

Good luck!

Answer 29

So let me get this straight, you're going to believe what your cousins say. Doctors have confirmed that weed is harmful to you and it is possible that you may not see any immediate affects of smoking weed, but it is guaranteed that in the future you will regret that you smoked weed. Not only because you will feel it's affects later on but you will feel guilty about doing it and then telling others not to. My advice is not to do weed for yourself now and yourself in the future. Be your own person and dont do what ur cousins do. Live above the influence. I'm 16, and i kno wat im talking about. Ur 13, u hav ur whole life ahead of u, dont mess it up by doing drugs and following ur cousins.

Answer 30

Your cousins are not role models or good examples to follow.  You are very young and have your whole life ahead of you.  Aspire to achieve some good in your life and not look to these people.  They may be family but they are not going anywhere real fast.

Weed is not harmless, it is a carcinogen that can cause cancer, can damage your brain cells and alter your mood.  You should talk to your school guidance counselor about extra-curricular activities.  Try out for your volleyball team, basketball team or join a reading club.

Talk to your parents about getting involved in music (playing an instrument like the guitar) or find a youth group that's involved in the community.  You need to harness your energy for the good of yourself.  Think about your likes and dislikes, what are your personal interests?  I am sure that if you start to explore your own possibilities, you will quickly realize that smoking weed isn't among them.

The mere fact that you are asking this question here, is a clear indication that you know that smoking weed isn't cool.  Take a class on computing to see if you like working with the wide array of disciplines in the computer field.  You may find that you like creating video games, graphics for games.  Join a track and field club and see if you would like to run - who knows you could be our next Olympian.

Please talk to your parents or your school's guidance office about finding meaningful extra-curricular activities to get involved in as a matter of urgency. I have included a link in my source to Boys Scouts of America, this could be a good start.

Answer 31

Dude, you are a little young to start experimenting with any substance.

Yes, it is true that marijuana is one of the least harmful drugs but there are some things to consider.

At such a young age your body has not fully developed mentally or physically. The use of any foreign substance could cause abnormalities in the development of both areas. Trust me. If you are thinking about smoking weed now then you are likely to try harder drugs down the road.
