hey everybody... so i dont smoke. but i was just wondering do you ever feel guilty about smoking? i tried it once (didnt work. shit) and i felt really shitty afterwards. but my mom recently said to me " i read something in philosophy today that makes me understand why you want to do the wierd things you do. so really, i totally understand." and she elaborated furhter so it made sense but i dont know if she would still kill me for smoking. theres a HUGE history of mental illness and subtance abuse in my family and she thinks toking up wil bring out any mental illness that may be lurking. at this point i should mention that i do want to smoke but not at the expense of the love of my mother. i really didnt know who else to talk to so you guys kinda get my random worrying.
well i have a mental disorder but weed helps it everyone is different, what kind of mental illness is it and do you tihnk its worth it, ask your self cause no one knows the answer but you
if you reallllllllllllllyyyyyyy dont wantttttt tooo hurt you're mom's feelings...then i'd say dont do it! but majority of the youth who probably smoke dont want there mothers to find out too ...so they do it in secret..and not let her or family members find out.. and the first time you do it...in most cases nothing happens...even with me..i felt very very sick.....i felt liek im gonna puke and shit at the same time.....and then i didnt do it for 6 months.... but i tryed it once again and it works wonders lol.
My boyfriend has severe ADD, and it actually really mellows him out and helps him concentrate. But you gotta figure out what is best for YOU. No one on the internet knows you as well as you.
i know... i was seeking some objectivity, but its silly seeing the info i provided. ah well. further opinions?
I would just try it, see if it affects you negatively, and if it does...don't do it anymore... And maybe if your mom is open to ideas, sit her down and tell her you want to try it...and explain why...I mean, obviously you being on here means you want to try it for more than a "GAAADDHHHZ I WANT TO GET FUGGEDZ UP!" like most of the teenagers that try it...so explain to her your reasoning, whether it be spiritual, social or whatever... Hell, offer to toke with her. Good luck
maybe get evaluated by a psychologist if your moms open to it. might be able to tell ya if its gonna be bad or not.
i have a long history of substance abuse in my family (every grown male in my family was either an alcoholic or still is, and thats both sides. and most of them were/are into other stuff) i watch myself, dont do it when im pissed, take breaks etc. but the mental illness frightens me slightly. my grandpa was insane and i never thought about connecting that with weed. i know i am extremely manic depressive / bipolar but strangely my moods arent too affected by pot. it just helps me analyze things better.
on my dads side, EVERY accept a few, is a)a alchaholic, dug atict (sp?) b)insaine the addictive personality comes through some times, but ive never really gone on to harder drugs such as coke, x, herroin, speed, crack etc. ive tried addictive things such as smoking and have been able to kick the habbit, and 6 months later he able to smoke another one with about going back to em, i tried oc wich is again addictive, and it was fun, but i stoped after a few days of it. when i was younger, i got a severe concusion to the point of almost dieng, it has its set backs, i have add and a few other things, but weed doesnt seem to effect any of it
if you have a quote "HUGE" history of mental illness in your family, then you are one of the SCARCE FEW people ever cited by most potheads around here to be ones who shouldnt smoke and take drugs. if you want to be safe from those things, dont force yourself into it, wait till youre older. youre only 15, just enjoy your adolesence without drugs. that is, if you are concerned about your health. if you picked up smoking in your 20's, there would be many benefits for you.
Some people don't get high their first time, I didn't. Try it again and see if you like it and if it helps you, if not then don't do it again. Simple as that.
if u look in past threads and find one titled "bad experience" but i think that might have been a narcky trying to scare kids. never heard of anything like that happenning before.
I have a family history of severe substance abuse, and my mother (and her mother) were manic depressives. I have bouts of depression, some worse than others. I have been prescribed every kind of anti depressant and tranqualizer available, but the only thing that works in harmony with me is smoking weed. It helps my depression and helps my anxiety. My concern for you is that prehaps your not quite mentally ready to smoke yet. You are very young, and I could hug you for not wanting to hurt your mother. I think that Bill gave you some good advice, why not just wait a while? there should be no preassure on you. I would discuss your feelings with your mum, shes sounds very supportive and understanding. Dont do anything you dont feel comftable with.
I have the same issue with my mom, aside from the mental illness. After you're caught a couple times, they become cooler about it, and realize it doesn't change the person you are. I've hardly changed since I started smoking the herb. My views are bit more socialist and liberal yes, but I'm the same person. I'm not a deranged junky.
