Help - Getting out of weed. I'm 14?!
Question: Help - Getting out of weed. I'm 14?
I like the feeling of being high, but I have come to grips with the fact that lately the only reason I have been smoking is to just be able to say that I have in fact smoked before/do smoke.
I need help. I want you to convince me why I shouldn't be smoking. I know later on, its okay to have more fun, and to loosen up and enjoy. But I just can't stop myself from wanting to smoke more.
I've only told around 3 close friends that I do smoke, so its not like i have a bad rep or anything. My brother even told me that smoking doesn't suit me. As much as I like it, I want to stop, and I need reasons to not push myself into smoking more.
Help me. please. Tell me why I shouldn't be smoking at this age. Convince me.
I honestly feel like I have some sort of complex in which I want to quit, even though i've never really gotten into it, but just can't. I don't know if I just like the high, or if I like knowing that I'm experiencing something hardly anyone in my grade does. (Not that they know I smoke)

Don't believe these people spewing propaganda about how unhealthy weed is...it isn't. That being said, I think your brother is right. 14 is a bit young for this sort of thing, you don't want to end up doing it all the time (it's not addictive, but can be abused...like watching too much tv, for example). When you're older and more mature maybe you can smoke again, you'll have the knowhow to use it in moderation, but if you start doing it young you'll probably end up making a habit out of it, and that's not cool.

Wow 14, your young. I know it's hard to go through what your goin through. It's hard sometimes to face reality
Wow, you sound like my parents, except they smoked weed when they were younger than fourteen. My mom ended up being a drunk and my dad still has his addiction. I'm twelve. When I was born, I luckily came out perfectly fine, because my mom quit doing drugs when she was pregnant. Them doing that when they were younger has made them horrible people, and I have to live with it. So, what if you don't quit smoking and you decide, "Oh, I want a kid!" So, you have a kid. The kid ends up having some birth defect because you were smoking weed while pregnant. Then, the kid's in the house while you're smoking. Even if the kid isn't there while you're smoking, the fumes will still be in the air. That stuff is horrible for a kid's lungs. Now, enough on the future. Back to today. What if you get caught in the act? You'll go to the juvenile delinquent place. Just lovely.
If you eventually do quit, and you still want the thrill of being high, go to an amusement park. Drive go-karts. Get in a fricken fight. Do anything that gives you an adrenaline rush.
My life.
It's bad for your lungs.
Against the law (depends where you live
People will use you for weed and pretty soon you will figure out you have no real friends
It impairs your judgment, not just for the time you are stoned.
It irritates mucous membranes.
It makes communication with you difficult, if not impossible.
It's possible to get some laced with nasty drugs, paraquat, or who knows what off the street.
Going to jail sucks.
Getting killed over a dope deal sucks.
Not having a memory when you'd like to after 40 would qualify.
It lowers your self-esteem!
It makes you LAZY and creates the feeling that nothing else matters but to just get stoned!
It also makes you forget your dreams and goals and prettty soon theyre just gone!
P.s. you can stop smoking (friends, family)..you just have to realize how you are ******** up your life...
