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.

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! ;)
