Answers:

Maybe you should cut down? I am 16 I used to smoke a lot of weed, I liked it at the time but now when I look back I feel disgusted with myself because I know how bad I felt at the time. I felt tired all the time, paranoid, I felt like I smelt of it all the time, now I feel good that I am away from it, nobody can stop you! But in my opinion I think you should focus more on school work and getting a job and have fun living life without so much weed! You can do it :D good luck x



there's nothing wrong with smoking pot. but personally, i think you should take a break until you're 19 or 20.


get your head straight, then worry about feeding it.




btw, police can't drug test you unless you're arrested.

Impaired Driving
Even low doses of marijuana affect your concentration and perception and delay your coordination and reaction time, which are skills needed to drive safely. Marijuana use can make it difficult for you to judge distance and react to signals and sounds while driving. The effects of marijuana can last up to 24 hours after smoking it.
After alcohol, marijuana is the most frequently found substance in car crashes.
About 33% of DUI drivers are high on marijuana.1
Marijuana and alcohol combined can increase your BAC level three times, dangerously affecting your driving ability.
For nonfatally injured drivers about 24% of those under 21 tested positive for drugs other than alcohol.2
Data shows that people who drive high on marijuana show the same lack of coordination as drunk drivers.3
Health
Marijuana is the most-used drug, after alcohol, present in the blood of injured and fatally injured persons.
In 2005, 215,666 emergency room visits involved the use of marijuana.4
Smoking marijuana leads to changes in the brain similar to the effects caused by cocaine, heroin, and alcohol.
Marijuana smoke causes lung damage and contains the same cancer-causing chemicals as tobacco.
Marijuana can lead to increased anxiety, panic attacks, thoughts of suicide, and depression in teens.
Grades in School
Heavy use of marijuana ruins your ability to concentrate and retain information. So it leads to poor performance in school. Also, teen brains are still developing, so marijuana can really mess them up.
Teens who smoke marijuana are more likely to cut school and get a D average in all classes.
One survey shows that 59% of students using marijuana reported that they often forgot what a conversation was about even before it ended.5
After 24 hours of heavy marijuana use, students are not able to focus or to organize data.
Crime
Teens who use marijuana take unnecessary risks that put their futures in danger, such as delinquency, having sex, viewing drugs as being harmless, and having friends with delinquent behavior.
Teens who use marijuana are nine times more likely to use other drugs, five times more likely to steal, and four times more likely to become violent.

Why in the world would you want to continue this harmful addiction? Stop while you have a chance and you won't have to worry about being caught!
