Question by xLaUrEnx: What effect can will weed have on me at 14?
I’m 14 years old; and have recently got into doing weed. The first time was horrible; and i thought i was gonna have a heart attack or a panic attack, but i carried on doing it every 3 days and iv got used to it. over the past few weeks iv done it either every day, or every other day. Iv been a lot more calm, and really enjoy how it feel. If i go more than a day without it; i start to get really moody and depressed.
Iv heard how supposidly bad it is, but i was wondering at this age what effects is it really having on me? Like will it make me do worse at school, stop developing properly, have mental diseases in the next few years, looking differently, or is that everyone just being stupid?
No lectures please
Thanks xxx

Before you start getting a shit ton of answers based off nothing but propaganda and false assumptions, visit this site: http://www.drugpolicy.org//facts/drug-facts/marijuana

Anyone on Y!A can answer regardless of age, experience, education, etc. Use Google for something like this, or else you’ll pretty much just get BS.

To answer your question, no — there is currently no scientific evidence that supports the idea that even heavy marijuana use results in permanent damage to the body, mind or intellect. It certainly has an effect on things like thought process and motor skill, but this is TEMPORARY and only for the duration of the high (sometimes it stretches on a few hours after, known as being “burnt out”). NO, it will not directly make you do worse in school. (If you happen to be weak-minded and allow yourself to rely on the drug so much that you stop doing your school work, that’s YOUR fault — not the weed’s. In other words, it’s very possible for a teenager to smoke weed daily and still get fantastic grades, and that possibility alone disproves that the drug itself is the cause of it. I should know — I got almost a 4.0 my senior year, and that’s the only year I smoked!) Marijuana also does not CAUSE disorders in anyone — it does exacerbate already-existing disorders in people, such as schizophrenia or personality disorders, but again, only if they already exist.

Also, contrary to other answers who have no reliable source to back up their statements, marijuana is NOT chemically addictive. It can create mental “dependencies” in weak-minded people who rely on highs to escape emotions, but that is absolutely nothing compared to a physical addiction. As in, marijuana “addiction” never results in physical withdrawals, with the exception of mild headaches and mood fluctuations. Also, it isn’t something a person would need rehabilitation for — if one gets “addicted” to cannabis, he or she would simply need to distance themselves from the drug and just stop buying it. The discomfort would be gone within weeks.

Finally, don’t listen to people trying to justify their opinions of the drug with their experiences. The fact is, everyone experiences drugs differently. Just because someone else had a bad experience in no way suggests that you will too. And vice versa — just because someone describes an incredible experience does not mean you’ll react as well to it. You must gauge it for yourself, and remember — let no one judge you.
