as stated before, 12 is just too young. Your not going to die from it, but come on. When I was 12, pot was the last thing i was thinking about. Everyone is different but 12 is definately too young IMO.
Whats 12 like 6th grade or so? I say your at that ripe age to start getting into trouble with girls rather than pot.
I'm not very proud of it, but the family I was living with a month or so ago had a 12 year-old daughter, and I smoked hella weed with her and her 16 year-old brother. The parents insisted that I smoke with the little girl if I was gonna smoke in their home, so I smoked with her. When I got my tax return, I smoked 2oz with her in 3-4 days; plus, I gave her some percocets. Her parents allowed her to drink liquor, smoke weed, smoke cigarettes, and eat pills. Whether I smoked with her or not, she was gonna smoke anyway. Also, I was drunk one time and smoked an OZ with a 9 year-old and his mother.
i dont know if i was 13 or 14 when i started, but i dont think i should of at the time. i enjoy it more nowadays then back then
Nah man. I started smoking a lot when I was 12 and it fucked my life up. I stopped caring about school and my friends. I'm not sure about everywhere else but in Oregon you can't be held back without parental consent in grades 1st-8th. But believe me if my mom had given a shit I would still be in the 7th grade. But as others have said it really depends on the person. I was to weak minded at the time and regret it.
If you're 18 now why would it matter? Has anything happened to you yet? If anything you're prolly just not the sharpest tool in the shed (no offence) but my chem teacher told me all the effects of weed are totally reversible...except i dunno how strongly that applies since you started so young... But who am I kidding? I started right after my 14th birthday haha. I'm fine though so I dunno...
My friend started smoking at 9 and continued to pretty much every day. He's like 15 now. He's a really talented rapper and he's got a really great head on his shoulders. He's a really good thinker. Don't know what else to say. I'm sure it is harmful for development in general but it's not the worst thing in the world. I wasn't 17 or 18 until I started smoking, but 12 makes sense. 12 is a lot different from 7 or 8 (or 9 I guess lol).
Me and all my friends started smokin at 12. We had so many potheads at my middle school they made everyone take DARE again.
Back when I started, and people would ocassionally tell me that 15 was too young on here, I would just ignore them and say it was okay, since it was only a few years. But 12, from my perspective would be detrimental to your future. For me atleast, the age of 12-14 I really had no idea who I was and it was that crazy stage where I was really self concious and scared about everything and just really needed some guidance from someone. If I had started that young, I REALLY do not think I would be as intelligent as I am today. It waould have fucked up my train of thought to where I couldn't properly prepare for high school. I'd say you should wait til high school, but I really do understand that its going to be killer to resist it if you've already decided you want to try it. Just keep your head about you, and take note before you really get into this how you act and how you ARE in general. I wish I had taken good looks at my life before I started so I could look back and see. Maybe the introspection I do these days is caused by weed though. Go for it if you want. I personally don't think it'll hurt your health. But if your someone like me, it will make things really tough on you if you don't be careful
