How old should I be?

how old do you think i should be before smoking weed? plus where is the best place to get it?

 

i would say... like 15 16...which is kinda werid cuz i started younger... i just think pot smoking should be done with respect. and at a young age u abuse stuff more and get bad habbits. and look for stoners at school

 

how old are you? what hobbies do you have? what do you think of school and school work? are you keen on art? have you been pissed, or under the influence of any other drug before?

this all are factors.

though id say, once you are 14 or 15, or perhaps younger, if your life has been really eventful. like if you consider yourself just a normal dude or someone whos seen a lot and experienced a lot.

but more caution if youve had a problem with depression in the past. or if someone in your family has psychiatric disease

i started at 16. i think its a good age to start. but for someone whos interested at 14 or 15 may as well go ahead and try it if they had the chance. the fact that threadstarter is coming here and asking teh question means they have some level of care about waht they do, so bad habits might be less likely

 

thanks

 

after pubes~

 

lol i dunno about you but i had pubes at like 12

 

Tough question, I would say 14 or so for your first try bowl would be normal, but try to keep it light tell yer at least 16 man, for many pot can really demotivate you durring your early teens.

On another topic, if you can somehow manage it, try to get/make a bong for your first time......trust me....

 

yer but mayb m,ake it without a carb, that can be confusing for many beginners

 

Thats true, but if he gets a chance to use a real bong, pull carbs seem simple enough for noob's.

 

whats so hard about a carb?

 

i dont know, i didnt hae trouble, but if hes making the bong himself, he could easily have no idea what hes doing or how to make the hole, and if the hole doesnt work then it can get confusing or if they forget that they need to think about the hole when smoking

 

get school out the way i reckon before you start getting mash up, young developing minds and all that

 

I was 12 when Istarted smoking and i was ready at 12. I don't regret it. Just use it every once and a while. Don't become a regular until you're older.

 

Not bad advice, but I suggest you wait till at least high school. Enjoy being young without drugs...I hate hearing about kids who are getting drunk or stoned when they're still in junior high. Like, I feel people should get a grasp of the sober reality first, and at that age, with your brain developing it's higher abilities, you can kinda screw that up with psychoactive drugs. You have your whole life ahead of you to smoke, no need to rush it. If you really must...do it just once in a while.

 

I probably should have waited. I didn't turn out too bad though!!

note that when I started I probably smoked a total of an 1/8 over a few months. it was a fun occasion thing

 

I'm gonna say 18. I started at 18 and would have just ruined the truly good times of my life if I had started sooner. You need a world view before jumping into mind altering substances. I'm glad I didn't spend high school worrying about bongs, 8ths, and blunts, etc. I was effin' loaded cause none of my money was going towards "feeling good." I already felt good so there was no need to experiment with anything.

 

my high school life sucked.

I don't know what I would have done if I couldnt go home and sit in my backyard and bake a little bit.

but I had a good "world view" at a young age. it wasn't my choice, but I had to be an adult so I might as well relax like one.

 

be like Jack Herrer, start at 33.

 

i say the perfect age is 15-16.

Many of my friends started in elementry school around 4th-6th grade, but thoughs people, i suppose, got tired of just weed and progressed on to other drugs like heroin.

Not that im saying marijuana is a gateway drug...but I think when you start that young, you might have a higher chance of doing other drugs, since they may get tired of using just weed.

 

im inclined to agree with just about everyone, 16-18 is perfect.
