depends do you want to smoke it or take it orally. if you boil the weed in butter then cook with that butter it will be better for your lungs and still a great high

This is where I'll cross over from my parental to realistic point of view. Experimenting with drugs isn't something recommended easily by society. However, when I was 15, I was definitely trying drugs out. I believe it allows me now to have a more empathic view of how people feel regarding these things. As far as trying it, here's my advice. Don't try it for his reasons... Try it for your own. (God, I'm a parent halfway encouraging drug use... What's wrong with me?) If you are trying it to fit in with him, it's for the wrong reasons. Try it on your own terms, and your own time. Don't feel pressured because he does it...

Thank you KnotFun for your advice. Part of me wants to try it for my own self, and another part just wants to experiment to understand him. I don't care whether he likes me or not for whether I do that or not, I just want to be able to relate to him on the subject, you know?

If you really want to try it go for it.Whos cares why really.It probably wont work the first time you try though.Anyway, if you do try it, try it around people you like and trust.You will have fits of laughter over everything and anything and try different things on it.Food is great,colors are brighter and just about anything can be fun to have around at first.Oh, music is great too......

Thank you "da beeb". I'm more concerned about how to just, I don't know, let somebody know that I am interested without sounding wierd or anything. I mean, how does that whole buisness work? Should I get a friend to get it for me, and smoke with her? I know I sound lame , and everything, but I'm just curious.

I am telling yah, you will have social problems. you might even get pregnant. its an afro desiac. it heightens sexual feelings. show some will power and say no...and find a non druggie boyfriend. you know he is up to no good trying to get you high. he just wants to have sex. reconsider. think of your parents. and your grades and college. tell that kid to fudge off. you can smoke it when you are lots older and in safe surroundings and when you can defend your self from sexual perversions. its over rated. you cant fly. you just turn into putty so any one can do stuff to you. do you want that? i aint kidding. its different for boy and different for girls.

Please please please.... Do not try. It may be hard to resist for you right now, but it will be a lot harder to quit once you start. You know its bad thats why you are asking, so please just avoid that guy, so that you don't get attracted to pot. Don't get me wrong

Thank you, "Don Quixode", my only difference there is I will not be doing it with my boyfriend. He smokes pot, and I have been interested latley. He has never tried to get me to smoke pot, or anything of that manner, so pleas e don't think of it like that. Think of it as a fifteen year old experimenting.

HDev, I understand what you're saying, but I really just want to try for my own good. Benefiting from it or not, I'm willing to experiment. I know my boyfriend is not pressuring me, I'm just curious as too relating to him. You know? Thank you.

Don, My parents or a family member is completley out of the question, which is why I've resorted to a anoymous website such as this one. I really just want some factual advice on the situation. I appreciated you're help very much, Sir, or M'am, but please try to stick to the facts rather than personal opinions.

KnotFun, Thank you once again, for your approach on things. I understand what you are saying. I do want to do it on my own terms, but I became curious through him, so I'm feeling sort of hopeful that maybe once I do it through my own terms, I can relate to why he likes it. Thank you.

I'm an adult with kids and I can say with full knowledge that there are far worse things for this kid to try out. That said, never let someone pressure you into doing anything. If your curiousity is your own then by all means check it out. It's not particularly addictive but practice basic rules of safety and precaution that all teens should have in place for doing stuff they really should not be doing by law. 1) do this is a safe place ie not in public. A place you can take time to recover in if the stuff does not agree with you. 2) Do not drive or operate machinery or even put yourself into a position of having to make any kind of serious decision while indulging. Do not try sex while high the stuff is designed to impair judgment in all the same ways alcohol does. So be very careful. 3) A little goes a long way. You may not see a huge effect at first but give it some time to kick in. You'll be babbling like an idiot in no time :D 4) do not buy this stuff until you are much older. It is a crime. Someone will always have some at a party so learn to bum a little here and there rather than commit to having a wad of this illegal stuff around. Try it socially and see what happens. You may hate it! I was 14 when a friend took me to see Neil Young in concert and gave me my first doob. I had a fabulous time. I did not go on to become a heroin addict or pregnant or even a homeless wretch. I went onto become an adult who sometimes indulges in this mostly harmless plant. I hold a job, pay my mortgage and put my kids through school with the odd doobie here and there. I am off the stuff for long while now as I am preg but I will probably have it again once I am done breastfeeding. Remember all things in moderation and you are totally in control of what happens to you. Make wise choices and make your OWN choices. Be safe and have fun.

Take your time. There's no rush.

i'm 16.. exact same thing, sept you shouldn't worry. it's not dangerous.. alot of people are gonna respond like.. OMG ! DON't DO DRUGS CAUSE OF YOUR BF! cause seriously.. your first time, you might cough.. but then you laugh for like.. 15 20 minutes straight. it's nothing to worry about. like this.. "am telling yah, you will have social problems. you might even get pregnant. its an afro desiac. it heightens sexual feelings. show some will power and say no...and find a non druggie boyfriend. you know he is up to no good trying to get you high. he just wants to have sex. reconsider. think of your parents. and your grades and college. tell that kid to fudge off. you can smoke it when you are lots older and in safe surroundings and when you can defend your self from sexual perversions. its over rated. you cant fly. you just turn into putty so any one can do stuff to you. do you want that? i aint kidding. its different for boy and different for girls" coment that was sent.. totally negative.. you smoke weed.. your not gonna be like.. OMG ..SEX! it's gonna be ..OMG.. LOL! at everything.. so don't "go about it" in any way.. it's so chill.

Don't rush into it, and make your own decisions, are the two best bits from the other answers I read. Compared to other drugs and maybe even prescription drugs like Prozac it's probably one of the safer ways to get high. The big downside is the possible legal consequences of getting caught. It won't help you to learn, but if used in moderation it probably won't kill you. Which is more than you can say for some prescription drugs; I was listening to a great but heart-rending show on NPR about Thalidomide, the anti-nausea drug they gave to mothers in Europe in early pregnancy which caused serious birth defects and many, many deaths. The US didn't suffer as the FDA wouldn't license it. Anyway: Don't use any drugs at all if pregnant or trying to study. Be aware that drugs may prevent you from doing things. They may damage your health. They may get you put behind bars. Be careful out there, and make careful and well-informed decisions as you go. Good luck.

ok... so im 20 (am not a teenage anymore, but sure still feel like one) and i done pot in the past too. you wanna try, im all for it.. BUT you should do it only if you know that you have the willpower to stop. only if you know that it wont become YOUR addiction. many people have smoked pot when they were teens, and many regret it, or say that they wouldnt do it if they were faced with that decision nowadays. so do ponder carefully about this... it isnt that easily to choose, i know. but i have faith that using your logic you can find the right answer for you. best of luck.

In all honesty, you really shouldn't at all. You're young and could get into trouble over it. Or not. But do you really want to take those chances? What if you smoked pot one day with this "kid" or some of his friends, and they took advantage of you while you were high? Would you like not being in your right mind about it? It really is something serious to think about.

Years from now as you're flopped on your couch lost in your foggy thoughts,you can fondly remember the @$$#@(# that you first smoked weed with.Good luck with that.Lol!

I wouldnt do that.. my opinion

dnt go for the whole peer pressure thing, and if the dude ya datin aint trippin off how u feel about it, then u dnt wanna be around him!!!!

Regardless of what you smoke or want to smoke, SMOKING is going to eventually KILL you either slowly or quickly. Odds are it will be a slow agonizing death when the time comes.

lol

You know weed or Pot is not that bad, it just like getting drunk but it kicks in as quick as 10 min,, it feels good to smoke before you go to sleep.. man it feels real relaxing !!! but if its your first time try it with some one you trust like a best friend, so she can watch you and dont let no one take advantage of you. just watch out with the cops,,, dont want to go to jail !!!!!!!!!!!!

You should first inform your parents of your intentions. Pot is illegal and you are a minor. Need i say more?

Pot is illegal weather you are a minor or not. Adults shouldn't do it but i know plenty of them that do. I am not condoning it. I tried it a couple times and i have not touched the stuff in 8 years. However if our parents knew have the stuff we did as teenagers and even in our 20's they would beat us senseless. YOur parents sound like they have raised a smart girl. You know what you should do, don't you? My advice to you is get rid of the guy. You are to young to be with someone that is starting off there life like this. I would tell your parents but be very forward with them and just say what you have to say and tell them you took care of it so you wont have to deal with the embarrassment if they go to his parents or the school. You are old enough to make that decision by involving a third party or not. JUST SAY NO!!! Go to school and be a kid the consequences are huge if you decide to get involved with this stuff.

I personally don't think you should go through with it. Sure, marijuana might not be a hard drug, but how do you know if you can trust that someone didn't lace it with something else such as cocaine? You will never know for sure. It's better safe than sorry. Drug dealers just want your money. They don't give a flying f--k about you. If the marijuana is laced with something else, it only takes ONE go to get addicted. As for marijuana itself being addictive, I have heard that it is addictive and I have heard that it isn't. My personal preference is to just stay away from it. Whatever you do, please don't do anything stupid. In the end, it is your choice whether you want to experiment with it or not.

You are about at the age where you are going to start being exposed to things like herb. Just remember that even if you smoke, you still have responsibilities in life that MUST be completed or your future will really suck. Be careful, and be in a safe place around people you trust when you just start smoking. Do not go out in public, and stay off the streets, in case you are more obvious than you think. Don't mess around with any of the harder things, they can kill you on your first try, if you get some bad stuff. It isn't worth the risk. Also, I would avoid drinking, as the risks of that are so much worse than just smoking a little herb. Good luck!

Thank You to Everyone that has answered, and Sorry that I haven't been able to address each indvidual comment. I understand the negatives, and the positives, but I know that I want to do it, and I'm really just more concerned on how to get involved in it? Am I supposed to ask my boyfriend, or what? I don't know..

whats so bad about it? everyone makes such a big deal out of that thats so sick..

You should wait till you are a adult to start smoking ( if you start at all ) I know at 15 you think you know everything but what do I know. It's hard to make the right decisions when you are stoned all the time.

your body isn't handled to do drugs. its really really bad for you. I PROMISE!

Hello Hello anymous. As a former pot smoker my advice to you is to not do this. Several reasons, First, believe or not, your still growing, still maturing and developing, both physically and personally. Think of what you want to do with your life, will smoking pot help you get there, most likely no...I can tell you that had I NOT stopped smoking I would have never achieved what I have. I think much more clearly, I feel better, I enjoy things much more..Second. This shows a willingness to lower yourself to satisfy someone else, what would be next, suppose the boyfriend started doing meth, you gonna join in. Be a strong young woman. Accomplish your goals. Make the people you admire and love the most in this world proud of you. Once you are grown and established, if you want to get high, that might be a different conversation, but for now, be POSITIVE, keep POSITIVE people around you. This is the time that is going to determine the rest of your life, meet it head on and with clarity... Good Luck to you...

ever heard of couples addiction? you want to get into something hes into to relate to him. if hes gonna get you all into drugs, dump him. and your only 15. you have your whole life ahead of you. and you have plenty of times to screw up why do it now?

You wanna try it, then do. Smoking a joint isnt going to kill you, although I dont suggest you do this on a regular basis, Smoking one joint is as bad as smoking one pack of cigarettes. So be sensible, dont go over the top and above all else- stay safe. Im not suggesting you try this at all, but im not going to try and change your mind.

Try taking a break for a little while, and see if you still have those interests. People change, so it's possible that could be what you like now, BUT, as I've learned the hard way, when I liked someone, I would start to adopt their likes, even if it was something I normally wouldn't do. It's good, to an extent, because you show your openness... but it's not so good either because people like individuality, and often times, get with someone because they like who that person is, and that person becoming them basically, can make the interest fade.

I'm sure if you want to do it, you're going to do it, regardless of what anyone says, right? If you are absolutely hellbent on trying it, then just make sure you are with people you trust. And I know that sounds like an oxymoron (What? Trusting potheads?). Just be careful. Like Audiotron said, stay in your place and don't go on the streets (certainly do NOT go on the streets looking for it). Keep in mind, this is an illegal drug. Also many people claim it's a gateway drug (leads you to do more harmful, harder thinks like heroin and cocaine). I have done it before and I won't lie, it can be fun. Just be careful.

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Those of you who are telling this kid to try smoking pot should be ashamed of yourselves. I destroyed my life with 24 years of substance abuse. People said that same crap to me. "do it for you" and "it's not a gateway drug. I did it for me and look at what happened. Thanks.

Find out why are you really smoking pot. I truly believe that keeping a journal with actions, events, feelings, emotions and your own conclusions do help in every situation in life. Then, get the facts from reliable sources. There are a lot of publications that show findings based on limmited studies or even opinions. Go to the censored and approved medical journals. They may look and feel boring at the beginning, but you need to know what you are getting in. After all, you want to live a full rich life with all the joy and sorrows that allow you to grow up and reach happiness.

There are a lot of misconceptions of Marijuana. It's not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. Both tobacco and alcohol are FAR worse for you than marijuana, trust me. And honestly, you'll never know until you try it. I think it's okay when used in moderation. It's actually kinda cool. But it has to be used in MODERATION. You can't become depend on it, and especially don't use it as a gateway into other, far worse drugs. Just don't become one of those braindead assholes who I pass in the hallways at school and feel like they should all just be locked in the janitor's closet along with the rest of the non-useful inanimate objects.

Pot is no biggie as long as you are careful to protect yourself. Don't drive, don't have unprotected sex, don't have sex with a stranger. And don't get so high you get blotto (unconscious or unaware of your surroundings). That's common sense, same as you would exercise with alcohol. If you're no longer having a good time, you're too high. Pot varies in potency from weak to strong. Take just one toke at first and wait a few minutes to see what happens. (Your very first time it's possible that nothing will happen.) You don't need to allow pot to change your life. If you have college plans, for example, stick to them. Tip: you can't get high and study at the same time. The only time I did it was on the weekends, with friends. It's a social catalyst, like a little alcohol. If you find yourself toking daily when you're home alone, just to get high, you may have emotional problems that you're trying to cover up. That's no good b/c you'll feel worse when you come down. DebSmooth posted the best answer that I've noticed so far. Go with her advice.

hit it till u cant hit no more

Whats next Alcohol ? Crack? Coke? The problem is once you give in the first time you will always give in!!

U know wut... I can't sit here and say no dont...omg!!!!... itz gonna later make u do crack or wutever... I smoked weed for the 1st time when i wuz 12 and i did do it for awhile but i am 25 and drug free... weed is not addicting but crack, cocaine, herion yes they are... my advice is: if u feel like u want to try it at least to get the curiousity out ur system then f*ck it try it... but dont do it cuz ur boyfriend is pressuring u...if u r gonna try it do it with some girlfriends... he might be nice and sweet but u never know a boys intentions..especially at that age... n guess wut else in another yr or 2 probably not even that he aint gonna be there no more...so have fun while ur young but be responsible...

You only asked how, so that's the only answer I'll give you. Start with an ice cooled bong if you can. It makes the inhale easier. First a quick lesson in terms. The bowl, is where you put the weed. The carb, the place where you control the air intake to control the size of your hit. Hit, the term for the smoke. Clearing, the term for inhaling a hit. Now you're going to use a lighter to singe the marijuana making it smoke. Inhale, when you've got your hit in the bong, open the carb so that you can clear the bong. Suck the smoke into your lungs as much as you can. The easiest way I found was to inhale until the smoke is gone. Move your mouth away from the bong and inhale sharply. If you cough you did it correctly. Then sit back and relax.

Try it because you want to, not because you want to connect to your boyfriend in some way. Makes sure you understand the possible consequences; addiction, and your parents being pissed off.

Pot ruins your life. If you stay on it too long. It gives you lung cancer (like cigarettes) and give you nasty breath and yellow teeth. Is that what you want at 15? You still have so much of your life to live. Don't throw it away for some boy. Boys come and go but life (can) last forever. I hope this helps.

try it and if you don't like it stop smoking. it's not like crack with one hit you are addicted. weed ain't that bad trust me it only do three things 1. gives you munchies 2.makes you calm and relaxed 3. every thing is hella funny

As someone who was in the exact same situatiaon and has seen the situation a million times, and is now 22, all I can say is that I totally understand but the best advice I could give you is not to start smoking. The drug itself in one sense is not very harmful or physically addictive, but it's the relationships and environments that you will associate it with that are. When you live with or are in relationships with chronic bong smokers, you'll find that your connection together will relate to smoking and you will find it hard to separate weed and your freindship as a whole. you'll find that you can't be part of the whole culture if you decide not to smoke - you won't be part of everyone and sharing it with them - you'll feel left out. It also so easily becomes confusing as to it's the weed or the boyfreind you actually like - the two get mixed up and hard ot separate. It's a bad idea. Weed also efefcts most girls worse than boys in terms of hpw much you still function, as in getting up and doing stuff rater than losing all motivation. So if you want to try pot, it's only safe to try it with people you don't regularly hang around. Because otherwise you'll find that it's easy to turn into a drone and start to waste your life away, and it'll very quickly start to seem impossible to live without bongs. I've heard old men tell me that they blinked and 20 years went by on the weed... that's what the danger is..you're so droned out that you don't realise your droned out..cos you never have a break and wake up. And unlike harsher drungs you'll still be funcioning - just on a lower level. So you won't notice what's it's really doing to you as much. Weed is fun and lots of people like it to relax or get creative - but like anyhting you have to be really carefl not to abuse it and onyl try it a little bit! Remember that the high will last only a few hours but the efects like lack of coordiantion and memory failre will last 3-4 days alot longer depending

well no i think you should never do it buts thats up to u if u want to just dont do it to please him becuz in the end if u do end up breaking up or whatever u'll regret it , never give into peer pressure

just tell him that u wanna smoke either he wants u to do it with him or he dont want u to do it. but either way u need to tell him and be honest with him.

This is what is called "getting in with the wrong crowd". It's exactly why you should pick your friends more carefully. Dating a loser/stoner will eventually make you a loser too. It looks like you are on the fast track to mediocrity. What a shame at such a young age. I won't enable helping you to break federal laws or to throw away your life with some freaked out boyfriend at age 15. I wish you better than that. For other young girls reading -- pick better men. You deserve them.

just do it, it will get it out of your system i smoked it for years and it never did me any harm im 22 now and havent smoked it 4 at least 2 years you have to try things in life thats what i think

You should go about it something like this: Get a hold of some pot, break it up, roll it up in a blunt wrap or place some in a pipe, ignite it and inhale. Repeat this process until there is no more pot to ignite.

ABOSOLUTELY NOT!!!!!!!!!!!! pot is very very dangerous and you could die from it! I recommend that you dump him on the spot or take him to a guidance counselor! Thats very dangerous! Talk to your parents about it!

do you really have to smoke pot to have a good time? all the good times i've had in my life i remember fully. unless you're trying to live in some kind of fantasy world, where you'll start waking up going "wtf happened last night?" then i suggest you stray away from this boy....there might not be anything wron with him personally, but to get yourself sucked into something like that could lead to other things... would you rob a bank, or cut someone's throat because you liked someone? think about stuff like that. is it really worth compromising your freedom for?

Please walk away from it.Do yourself a real favor!

girl you need to leve him and get help before this gets worse

How should you go about it? By not doing it. Keep yourself clean and strong. It is the best and really only way to face life and have any success. Use of any unnecessary substance only ends up being a drain on you in some way sooner or later, whether it is emotional, physical, or monetary. Walk away, and take good care of yourself.

Please don't. It will come back to haunt you for the rest of your life!

Those that are telling you that smoking pot is not harmful are not telling you the truth. The chemicals are worse than cigarettes on your lungs and it will suck the motivation right out of you. You want to engage in a productive life with a clear mind, don't smoke it. It changes your brain, how you form memories and much more. Check out this pamphlet http://download.ncadi.samhsa.gov/Prevline/pdfs/phd641.pdf People who use drugs and alcohol are misguided...often trying to self treat anxiety, depression and a multitude of other mental health issues. At your age, just stay away from them. They need help from an adult/professional. They will only drag you down.

give it a try, maybe wait a year, but just let it get rediculas and out of control.

Well I smoke weed a lot, and it is pretty fun and I would deffinately consider it the least bad drug for you and it's easy to cover up. But if it's not something you want to do then just don't do it, I mean I tried it in grade 10 like a year and a half ago almost and I've been doing it ever since and it is pretty fun, just don't start doing other drugs. Like about a few weeks ago I started doing e (ecstasy) and it's really fun but now I wanna try like all the drugs which isn't good. I would deffinately blame weed as part of the reason for me trying e because weed makes you interested in other drugs I think and after awhile of smoking weed it's not as good anymore. So just becareful. Oh and weed isn't that bad for you.

Make sure you have a lot of time to relax afterwards, go out in the woods or somewhere private to smoke.

Simple---you shouldn't.

Personally I would walk away. I don't need anything to make me happier than I am! The choice is yours as this is not a judgement call but a solely personal choice!

The question is: Do you want to skip a 15 minute high... or... do you want to eat $90 blunts for the rest of your life?

Think twice before making any decision!

dont

well if u want to try it then try it if u like it u like it if u dont then u dont but if u do and like it dont do it every day do it like 2 weeeks out of the month and separate/balance the days

So... you have extra brain cells to spare??? Please don't do this.

Wait some years before trying it.

Traditionally you wrap it up in a Rizzla & take a big ol toke!

it depends if you like smoking pot then do it but if you dont like it dont smoke it. i smoke it and my girlfreind smokes it with me but i tell her she dont have to sooo its really just whatever you wanna do. =]

Didn't do me any harm, started at your age gave up when i was 18 now 45 never robbed or killed anyone, or tried anything harder like cocane ect. You know yourself better then anyone else does, so if you wish have a go.

When it comes to pot it really depends on the person, Some people function well smoking pot and can go about taking care of business some sit in the corner and can't move. You better weight it yourself. pick the wrong guy and it's a hundred miles of bad road.

First of all, you spoke a lot of truth in the first sentence. You are also a kid. Second, drugs will ruin your life, this is a fact for anyone who does any street drug. It has been proven by so many, that you don't have to do it. I am 33 years old and still suffering consequences of my drug use 16 years ago. I hope that my few words will have an impact on your decision. Instead of wondering how cool it would be, think about all the cons. It is so easy for people including me to see a negative situation and take one positive and jump on it, before weighting out all the pros and cons. God Bless. Adam Beck adambeck33@live.ca

Just because you tempted doesn't mean you should do it. Becoming a drug addicted will ruin your life and it could end yours or some innocent person. Its not worth it, don't try it!!! My dad smoked pot a few times when he was a kid and he as short term memory sometimes, you could be one less person to be a drug addict. If he really loved you he'd stop smoking pot. If you ask him to stop and he doesn't, he's pretty much saying that pot is more important to him than you are. Don't try it please!!!!!!!!!

Don't try it and try and get him to stop, I used to deal pot and cocaine and I have seen pot put one of my m8s in a mental hospital thinking people are coming to kill him. People think they are in control of it but there not. phoning at 4 in the morning looking for more and spending there last money on it. Trust me stay away. Dont make mistake so many others have. Any not the best just make you stoned, lazy and tired if u want that just stay up for 2 days.

I'd say stay away. Leave this fool. Don't let him influence you to do bad! But with those words you'd probably do it so I'll just say: It's your life. You do know what is best. Don't ruin your life. Especially if your education to consider. Enjoy being young responsibly.

Well u r about to make a decision that will alter ur life so let me share this because i was given some adivice that helps me, ask ur self - "if you are with the person that you most respect, would you be taking the same action?" this comes from my dad, and i picture him right beside me everytime someone offers me some type of drug and it always helps me say no thanks. it has help me make many decisions that others seem to struggle with, everyone has 1 brain use it wisely.

will i think that drugs are never the right thing to do most people just take them because their life suckss and they want to escape reality

in my eyes i would not do it because if you try it and like it then your boyfriend starts going on to more kind of drugs are you going to try them as well drugs are for mugs and ive been in bad crowds to know it ive seen people get high off pot and then some one laces there drink with something stronger and they have ended up in hospital over it

No. If you get hooked then you become a pothead and you start living the drug culture. You smell like weed, spend money,piss off your parents, and it's illegal. Remember, you run the risk of being an addict, it's not worth it in the long run but you are a kid so you might blow off these comments. If you are going to do it, wait till you are over 21 or don't do it at all.

You need to think outside of the here and now. Decisions that you make now will affect the rest of your life. Ask yourself this question; how many sucessful people do you know that smokes pot? I personally do not know any. I do however know a lot of washed up losers that could have made something out of their life, but they wasted it by doing drugs.

Kid, you're weak, just like everyone else who tries it. You won't get addicted to weed the first time you try it or maybe even the tenth or maybe not at all. But you'll suffer an ill health effect one way or another. It's illegal and it's a waste of time and way too much money. If that's your thing, then smoke away. I was offered weed when I was young and decided scratching my nuts would be WAY more constructive.

just enjoy it.....

I say if you're hell bent on trying it you will.. just be careful and pay attention to your surroundings and stay in a private, secure place when and if you try it and make sure you're not alone when and if you try in case something does happen to go wrong. I'm highly allergic to marijuana, but most people aren't. It has it's down sides and has its upsides. Just don't let it take over your life or way of thinking. You may or may not become paranoid so if you try it give it some time to decide if it's right for you or not before doing it again if you chose to. if you deice it isn't for you then don't let people pressure you into doing something you don't like. if you do like it then don't let people fill your head with all the scare rubbish either. The people telling you it's poison and you'll die tomorrow if you smoke it are full of shit. They love to dump propaganda in your head so i suggest dismissing them. I don't smoke it because I'm allergic and cough so badly it makes me vomit plus it makes me very paranoid and scared, but it didn't always have that effect on me..I used to enjoy it quite a bit, but.. the years took its toll on me. I quit for my own reasons and it has nothing whatever to do with legal reasons or concerns about whether it has all those scary chemicals in it.. i know how I feel so i don't do it now..plain and simple. Bottom line.. try it if you really want to and make sure you can control every aspect and try to cover every contingency you can think of. ;) Good luck.

My advice to you is to not do this. Several reasons, First, believe or not, your still growing, still maturing and developing, both physically and personally. Think of what you want to do with your life. Make the people you admire and love the most in this world proud of you. keep POSITIVE people around you. never let someone pressure you into doing anything. The chemicals are worse than cigarettes on your lungs and it will suck the motivation right out of you. Take care and advice him or talk to his parents or get help from STEVE WILKOS SHOW. God Bless both of you.

I wouldn't bother I'm hooked on the stuff big time and it isn't good. To be honest I had a far easier ride giving up Crack and Heroin. Not to be preachy either but, as someone said you're 15 and Weed is Illegal. Skunk should carry a government health warning in itself.

personally you can get advice but you'll have to think this one over for yourself man i mean same thing happened to me and i love weed now man its amazing!!! and but it is causing problems in my relationship with my bf now he chooses weed over me alot

No, no no, no you do not have to smoke to be cool or fit in. I was young in a time when certain things were popular. I was not into those certain things. People would tease me sometimes for not being cool or whatever. It's not even like "I stuck to my guns' I just didn't like their drug of choice. So I didn't do it. Then I gave in a few times, "To fit in". Some of my most trusted and best friends told me they didn't like the way I was when I did that stuff. I wasn't being true to myself when I did those things and the people who knew me best knew it. Never go against yourself. The people YOU want to notice you WILL. Anyone can be cool. They fade away. The stand-up people last long after the "cool" is gone. Stay true to yourself. You may not be the most popular NOW, but you may be the "cool" people's lawyer, judge, doctor, prison guard or funeral director one day. Stay true to yourself.

Just dont do it. you are interested in dong it because you are wondering how it feels and what the big deal is. really theres not much ive smoked pot in my life and all i got out of it was less money in my pockets and feeling paranoid the whole time.

I finally am in a great mindset after being the Van Wilder at my college. I was a pothead/casual weed smoker which quickly progressed into 3 grams a day habit/social cigarette smoker which quickly progressed to 1 1/2 packs a day/drank a decent amount/dabbled in lsd and shrooms/and tons of legal yet to be tested buy on the internet drugs ie: salvia and so forth. I was what they call "self medicating" yet I didn't realize I was or why I was. Let me first start with a good old background story/cheesy montage. I was never a great student in school... ever. Yet the last I was...was stupid, even though after awhile I was having serious doubts. I took on the role of class clown. I rarely did my homework instead looking outside at the kids playing on recess. why couldn't I be out there playing instead of doing these boring assignments. I would constantly pass by the skin of my teeth due to my ability to charm pretty much anyone. Overall throughout my entire school career K-12, I was acting in order to fit in, but on the inside I was feeling so disconnected/lonely from everyone. The absolute worst part was not having any answers for why I was behaving as I was, and believe me its not as if me/my parents didn't try. In elementary school they thought it was ADD, got tested and wasn't. They said I just had a problem with authority so on and so forth. Fast Forward to my Senior Year in College. I got to the point where I didn't want to/couldn't fake it anymore. I was seriously contemplating suicide because I personally couldn't deal with the world and how it was treating me. I felt so low about myself self, had no self esteem, wasn't eating at all, just smoking what I came to realize, tons and tons of money I would charm from parents/earn from jobs. I willingly told my parents how I was feeling one weekend when I was home. This was after I accidentally pick up and read a book at home "An Unquiet Mind" that my mother had laying around. I got only a few chapters in and began to cry because it was honestly the first time I was able to ever fully relate to someone/something...ever!. The words felt as if they were my words, and I felt so much for the writer, it was life changing. I had heard the word Bipolar/ manic depression mentioned before, but I never really gave them any thought. Turns out it runs in my family on my mother's side, which makes the possibility of her children developing it higher. With the support of my parents I took a medical withdrawl from my final semester, in which I went to probably 5 of the 50 classes total. Yet when you have a medical reason, man do people let you get your way. Not saying you should abuse it because that won't get you anywhere. I really didn't care about school anymore and would rather have said fuck it, but it saved my ass in a situation that I thought was hopeless and essentially allowed me to stand up for myself and my illness. I willingly entered myself into a inpatient treatment facility which was followed by a few months of out patient behavioral therapy. I pretty much had to learn how to live, but this time...really. The stigma of mental hospitals may still be there, but let me tell you, this was more of a resort than a hospital. what I found was 90% of the people I met there were exactly like me, it was amazing. I was there for 10 days in which they tested me and put me on medications that would help my situation (Seroquel XR 200mg as a mood stabilizer (It is a miracle drug that has numerous uses for tons of different conditions) and Lexapro for an antidepressant. Flash forward 1 1/2 years and here I am. Medications have changed slightly, still on seroquel and have no idea how I slept for the 20 years before it. Wellbutrin is my new antidepressant and it completely kills the craving to ever have a cigarette ever again, amazing! anddd here's the catch, Adderall XR for none other than ADHD. I am college graduate and yes their may be a recession occurring within our time, but frankly ever since the day I was put on medication, I honestly was given a new lease on life, a true second chance! I know that if I can put up with Bipolar disorder/adhd/depression unmedicated for 20 years, I can absolutely accomplish anything in this world, sky is the limit. If you find yourself self medicating with pot/cigarettes/alcohol/and other drugs, truly ask yourself, what is the reason I am doing this to myself, for there is always a reason. It took me reaching absolute rock bottom to realize my reason, but it doesn't have to for you. Even in the last few years knowledge of medication has improved ten fold. They know more now about mental health conditions then say 10 years ago when they new nothing. Everyone is different and it will take time to find your perfect balance of medication. Figure that you are willing to be patient with the process because afterall unlike the SAT's, these meds can prepare you for the rest of your life. There are a lottttt of people that give up way to easily thinking that a certain medication didn't work therefore none will work. Medication can do 50% of the work. The other half comes down to personal willpower, you can't expect to get better overnight, it is a process of day by day taking one step at a time. From my empathetic heart, best of luck turning your lives around, it is never to late, NEVER, to improve the quality of your life forever. Learn from my experience. For all you pot smokers out there, I feel ya. I thought weed was helping my anxiety, but in reality it was making it worse/ and creating even more problems. Like alcohol, Smoking pot on a regular basis can seriously damage your chemical balance of your lovely brain. The weed of today ain't no dirt from the 60's, hell its not even dro anymore, it is extremely powerful. Let the medication do its job. If you want to smoke, I can't say I encourage it because even though I may think it gets a bad reputation due to ignorance. You can get in serious situations with the law, which will impede your road to your new life tremendously. Be smart, everything in moderation/nothing and I can't emphasize this more,NOTHING while driving any type of automobile. Especially don't sell marijuana. Selling weed, as easy as the money is, is the number one easiest way to get seriously busted being that it is so prevalent and available. Also there are always people out there who themselves have been busted and are now on the laws side in order to help their situation. Be smart

I would have to say smoke it and see how you like it, if you don't...then don't do it anymore. But... agree with daemonelson watch Car Sagan. :) It's the best when stoned off mah azz.

all i have to say is that my waster ex did heroin and cos i was with him all the time i ended up doing it a week after my baby son was born. 5 yrs down the line i am off heroin but stuck ona methadone program for god knows how long and his heroin addiction stemmed from him starting to take pot when he was 13. Just think first. Nobody can tell u what u want and if u wanna try it, try it, just remember all the repercussions it will have on ur life and ur family. I lost al my family and thank god ive got them back again now. It just seriously aint worth it hun. Just think about it, if he loved u that much he would give it up or at least cut down. good luck :-)

try to enjoy it. i smoked for the first time at your age. it made me quite paranoid, being stoned. set up a relaxed environment before hand. make sure that you are safe from the police. and if you take that hit... take it all in with a smile knowing that its your choice that you feel confident in.

try it, you will like it!

DONT DO IT, lol, tis not good, there are no positives from it...

it's your body, do what you want.
