Serious Question.
I have a serious question in my life right now that needs to be answered as soon as possible. I am 16 years of age, and I am soon about to be 17 (another 2 months). I have had a drug related problem since I was 10 years of age with marijuana, I then got sentenced 1 year probation/drug court at the age of 15. I am being released from probation/drug court tomorrow evening. I have been in perfect compliance for that past year, staying sober and whatnot. My question is, I have been debating whether or not I should smoke again or not, but in a lesser amount of time. I became a so called, "pot head" way too quickly at the age of 10. But, now since I am much more mature and experienced in life, I think I can control this habit. My friends tell me as long as you get your life priorities taken care of first each day, you can do whatever you want. But, then I think why waste a whole year of being sober, and then going back to day 1 in a matter of 5 minutes?
Any opinions is greatly appreciated by any means.
-
I beleive people should not smoke pot until they have finnished all levels of school, and have their life path paved....A clear head is needed to reach your goals.
-
Just a tip, its not a habit, its an [i]addiction[/i], BIG difference there. Wait till your in your mid twenties, then your brain is fully developed.
-
Why starting straight away? Just leave it for a couple of years, you seem to have smoked enough for now :) Might also mean that there will some changes in friendships, which I don't think is too bad in your case (taking in consideration that you started at 10)
-
First of all, you shouldn't have ever started smoking marijuana or do drugs at an age like that.... Just look what the consequences brought....
-
Your brain is still developing. I wouldn't smoke again until you're at least 25. (this is based on evidence - your brain doesn't actually finish until around 25 years of age - and it's also proven that the use of mind-altering substances harms this development)
-
you have a record don't start -blam!- with pot agen you won't get such a slap on the wrist next time. you had your fun now leave it alone for a while just don't -blam!- withit untell your record gets distroyed. but if you insist on haveing a few puffs every now and then limit it to just that a few puffs every now and then. also try to avoid being on the street when you have the puff go up into the backwoods cause there are less cops there

Let us plant trees that bear positive fruits that enlighten our minds to the deepest roots, all the way to the core where the soul can stay true. Where I can walk free with a joint in my hand and I can plant plants right upon my land, help em understand these are natures laws, my creator had visions in the things he saw. Now when the love is lost and your spirits are low, the world's closing in around you got no place to go, Done all that you could to ease and please another soul. And in the end you're in the cold, another sad story told. That's why I make my own decisions on how I'm liven, Try to get by with the knowledge that I'm given, Can't make me believe cause a tree is a tree And when my soul bleeds, the color that I'm spillin' is green. WAIT UNTIL YOU GET OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL [Edited on 4/27/2005]

-
I suggest switching to coffee as your drug of choice. The side effects include "being awake," and other nasty things like that.
-
how about you never take it again so you dont shorten your life span and add to health problems? just my imput...
-
-
And btw, why would you even consider going back?
-
obviously you never did smoke grass.. if you did.. you'll know why

Don't waste your life like I did. If you start smoking again, you'll start to feel dumber & dumber day by day. By the time you get older & really start to notice the damage you've done to your mind, it'll be too late. It affects your moods, & relationships with friends & family. It is a -blam-ing curse. I wish I could communicate to you just how bad it is for you. When I was in school, we sort of thought that it was just some sort of conspiracy, that the "authorities" just didn't want you to "free your mind, man." What a load of horse -blam-. I look around at my 30-something year old friends that still do it & I see what mental midgets that they've degenerated into. Stay free from the schackles of being a dope-smoking moron. It's only fun for an hour or 2, but then you have an entire lifetime of damage & permanent consequences ahead of you. It only starts out with a toke here & a toke there but it almost ALWAYS becomes a daily habit. Don't listen to anyone who wants to tell you that it's OK, that it doesn't cause permanent damage. You should see some of the empty shells of 40 - 50 yr old people I've worked with & known. It really is depressing. You are going to live a long time - don't trade tommorrow for today. Take Care & Good Luck. P.S. Its hard to hit a bong with both hands on your controller! ;)

As it is, you have learned nothing. Didn't you notice a difference in that year of a drug free life? Didn't you think more clearly, didn't you feel in better control of your life? I have had addictions in my life, none of them were extremely harmful, but when I broke free of them, I felt great. I felt like I had control, I understand what addiction is like and I promise you that you will be a better and happier person if you do not go back to it. By the way, that is the first serious post I have made in awhile. I would ask that you take it with as much seriousness as I made it and think about your life and how you can make yourself a better person.

Just watch one episode of the Osbournes on MTV. Take special notice about how -blam!-ed up Ozzy is and then I think the decision will be clear to you.
