to those who started young, has it fucked you up?

okay, just wondering about you people who began doing drugs at a young age.

me, i began around 13-14 with weed. but i cant say i was always high, i just smoked a few times every few weeks, there was like a few summers when i would smoke almost everyday for 2-3 months, but that was after harvests and due to nothing to do/constant boredom.

for the last year or so, ive been a very limited smoker, i had weed almost all the time, but only smoked when i really wanted, like once or twice a month.

ive smoking ciggs since 14, i quit a couple months ago. also done coke 2 times. drinking since 13, very ocasionaly though.

im not sure if im fucked up or not, you know people talking about puberty and drugs - how bad it is. i cant say people notice anything, or myself... apart from maybe being a dick to some people, or over arrogant. also hearing this shit about coke raping adolescent minds... kinda freaks me out... :/

so what about you guys? if you started early, do you think it fucked you up??

 

Idk. I've been fucked in the head for as long as I remember.

 

well yeah to some extent me too, but i mean unable to actually remember/do complicated tasks/reaction speeds/ IQ/ physical health etc etc

 

I've been smoking ganja since I was 13 almost every day

 

i started last year really but iv pretty much been smoking most days the last year too
i dont think its fucked me up at all...in fact i think its mainly been positive although every so often i might forget what i was about to do but nothing out of the ordinary.
i dont think mushrooms can fuck up anyone with a good mindframe really...well unless your shoving handfulls in your mouth all the time haha

i think too much of anything isnt going to be very good for you but i wouldnt consider myself fucked up from drugs...just a bit more laid back

 

i guess its had a good effect on most people. more open thinking, more understanding of theyre surroundings. i like how most people who have smoked weed have a completely diffrent perception of the world we live in, average joes have very limited and baundary inflicted oppinions, while stoners usually do not.

this doesnt apply to everybody ofcourse, just my oppinion :/

 

yeah i think your right...im definitely a lot more open minded and i think my general attitude towards life is a lot better...not that it wasnt to begin with but i cant remember ever being pessimistic about anything

 

Started when I was 14, kept smoking, more and more, and more frequently.

 

Same and it has been great in all aspects of greatness for the most part. Before I started smoking I was pretty uptight and always worrying (I have bad anxiety and some other problems), but marijuana has certainly helped me to stop worrying about the little things and focus more on the grand picture of my life. Only thing I regret is how much money I have spent on weed, but then again money certainly isn't ANYTHING at all and has no meaning in comparison with truths I have uncovered about myself from smoking.

 

You seem pretty smart, honestly. I wouldn't worry about it.

 

I agree with you, and that has been my experience even though I started at 15 and it didn't become habitual until 18. It also depends on how you use your drugs. Do you use them for positive growth, anti-anxiety, etc.?
Or is the scenario more like a party all the time passing massive blunts and drinking excessively at the same time and over doing it with experimentation on hard drugs. Moderation is the key to a positive drug experience. The middle way of psychoactives.

 

I smoke because I like how being high feels, anti-anxiety is just an awesome side-effect. Not that I don't like to party, but I certainly enjoy my personal bowl/bong MUCH more than any party scene.

 

Nope. Started right after turning 14 and I'm the same rational level headed person as before, except now I'm more rational and more intelligent

 

i started when i was 15 and i am second in my class and got a 31 on the act so by common standards i am by no means fucked up, but i love the ganja too much.

 

I don't think I would be as confused about life if I didn't start taking psychedelics when I was 15.

 

I started when I was 15. I'm now 24, and have smoked ungodly amounts of marijuana in the past 9+ years. I'm fukt up in the head, most definitely, but I don't think that is due to smoking marijuana. I've used a wide variety of mind-altering substances over the years and some of them have certainly left me "perma-fried", so to speak, though my mind was pretty fukt up before I ever used any recreational drugs. I regret nothing and I can't imagine being any different than the way I am. I don't feel that my intelligence has been hindered and I don't feel as though my values have been diminished. I believe I am the person I am meant to be, and I leave it at that

I feel blessed to have permanently altered my mind the way I have, and I don't even worry about what I would've been like, had I not used the drugs I have used, because I like the person I am. Who knows what kind of asshole I would be if I had never used drugs.

 

I started when i was around 14 or 15. i only did it a couple times a month though at that age..
i didn't start smoking regularly til probably high school cause my boyfriend at the time sold weed :tongue:

anyways, i don't think it has fucked me up too much.
i'm still the same person i always was, i may be a bit slower, and more burnt out
but thats about it haha

 

yeah man all I can really say is take life as it comes

as for me started at 13 one to three times a week
everyday starting at 15
been six years now and still going
less than a month of abstaining in that whole six year period
and doin great,finished highschool better than average
about to graduate college w/english degree
do ur own thing,listen to your own body and mind
FUCK popular opinion and the general public does not know the real facts
about cannabis half of the time

 

i obviously can't say for sure, but i feel almost more than half-certain that if i never ever smoked weed, i'd probably be more successful than i am right now.

i think i'm a lazy, do-nothing, unmotivated, hand-me-everything pathetic pothead. in all sincerity.

in fact, i'm in such a financial pickle right now, i have no money to spare, and all i can sit here and think is "damn, i just want to say fuck it and go buy a bag of weed."

 

lol me too i want to say fuck all my bills and buy a fat sack of chron
