I did weed because i was curious, not because of peer preasure, or anything else. And guess what? i hated it, i felt so out of control.

Im 19 and ill tell you why i smoke pot. I smoke pot because i like it, plain and simple. I get done with a day of school and work and just want to relax and enjoy my free time and weed makes that time better. Sure it can get in peoples lives disrupt stuff but thats only if you let it. I smoke a gram a day and hold a 3.5 gpa at sd state. Its either hit my bong or shotgun a beer you decide which one is more responsible?

OK people saying that teens do it because there friends do it is not true in all cases. Some do it cause there parents do it or there parents would rather them smoke weed then drink alcohol, some do it because there bored, some do it out of curiosity. I'm eighteen now and I have seen all these cases. I started smoking because of curiosity. I was the first one out of all my friends to do it. It all started when I 16 and started drinking, I used to drink pretty heavily all the way up until i was almost 18. But one day in February I was at my friends birthday party and there was another group of people at the house that nobody knew except for my friend whose birthday it was. They were all in the other room smoking pot and I have always been curious about how it was because I have been told that its different than drinking, alot different. Anyways I decided to ask if I could smoke with them because I have never done it previously and they let me. They showed me what I had to do and after a while I was high and I liked it. First off its a hell of a lot easier to get a hold of than alcohol, second it doesn't get you so intoxicated that you cant remember what you did nor does it impare your motor skills. I still like to drink but I have not gotten wasted drunk since I have started smoking. Weed also calms you, have you ever heard of a raging high person? no but I have heard of a raging drunk person. Everybodys at peace with each other when smoking.

You are all retarded. I smoke pot. I'm sixteen. And i dont do it because "im sad" or "my parents hate me," or any of that shiite. I do it because its a good time. Dont use drugs as a damn crutch. Dont rely on anything but yourself to get you through the day. When you start resorting to drugs or thoughts of suicide just because you think the wrold is against you, you know you have a problem. Get over your little B1tch problems and get on with life. Its too fun, too much of a thrill to waste on stupid crap like being sad because my parents are mean. I dont have a father. Im not using that as an excuse or anything else like that. But Nobodies life is ever gonna seem easy. Just be grateful your not a five year old albino African girl living in chad hiding in a box all alone because your parents both died from AIDS and your only goal is to stay away from the crazy people trying to kill you and cut you up and put your fallopian tubes in a voodoo soup or whatever the f(you)ck they do. BE FUk1N GRATEFUL you pieces of moldy S*#T!

Its pretty clear who the people who have no idea what they're talking about are. I'm 16, I smoke pot. I wasn't pressured into it. I didn't think i would be cool if i did it, and i didn't start by smoking cigarettes and i never plan on going into anything heavier. Pot is like any other consumption, like sugar or fatty foods. If your 500 pounds and diabetic, you should cut back. If your getting stoned all the time and unemployed, cut back.
hell no.

I even disagree with that statement. I am 18 years old and have been smoking since the near end of 7th grade. I am in college now, and graduated highschool with a 3.7 gpa unweighted. I am a freshman at a small liberal arts college in Kentucky, and test the highest in my classes. I smoke at least 3 blunts a day, everyday. It does not interfere with my education, nor my social life so I do not see it as a problem. I have good friends, a good life, and I still enjoy smoking pot. I was not pressured into it either, it was a conscious decision I made over the course of about 2 months. I thought I would give it a try. It was what life had been missing. I love getting high, and I think anyone who hasn't tried it has no right to debate on the topic due to obvious bias. Just my 2 cents.

im a teen who smokes because it feels great. its not from peer pressure or anything like that because i tried it by myself with no coaxing from anyone it just makes things better and it is not bad at all, as a matter a fact im still alive because of weed. You see i have cancer an weed is helping me a lot so just leagalize the sh*t already (actually i have a medical card but everyone else should be able to smoke it).

I just graduated high school and having smoked since freshman year, the fact of the matter is that teens are going to smoke if they want to and for the most part, will refrain if they don't.  The people out there who blame weed as the root of their shortcomings and the shortcomings of others are just hiding behind it because they made a ****ed up decision or know someone who did and need to place the blame somewhere. I smoked weed every day my senior year and maintained a B+ average at a private boarding school with honors, AP classes and extracurriculars so whoever thinks that weed makes people inept degenerates has never smoked before.  Weed is like any other recreational activity, just get your daily tasks done first and then go have fun.  To all of you who think weed is the problem you are mistaken.  It's YOU WHO ARE THE PROBLEM.  Let us smoke in peace.

Weed is addictive and can cause teens to feel good about their lives because of all the bad things that are happening around them. The teens mental health can be disrupted and they may try to ease it with weed. Here is an article about mental health. http://healthmad.com/mental-health/mental-health-4/

I have been smoking pot for more than fifty years. Now in my late 60's, i find that with my occupation, and all the hazards I've developed some problems. A heart disorder that's only putting out 35%, and C.O.P.D. at about 65% for my lungs.                       And now finding out that I'm only operating on one Kidney, Makes me wonder, Will my smoking pot adversely affect, either good or bad for my health. Trying to stay off Dialysis(sic)
