How old were you when you first smoked weed?

The first time I smoked I was maybe 12 and didn’t get high at all. Two of my friends and I smoked a bowl and just wandered around our neighborhood. They had smoked before and got high this time. I didn’t do it again until about six months later, and loved it ever since.

I never smoked it and besides, smoking is bad for you, There's been studies.

Bad for the heart and lungs and what's more, it's habit forming and it smells awful.

Besides, I want my lungs to be pink when I'm laying on a coroner's slab.

@Sidewinder what do you care what color your lungs are when you're dead?... yes any kind of smoke in the lungs is bad...there are other forms of cannabis that can be ingested like edibles

@beermeplease Because I care what color my lungs are when I'm alive as well.

@Sidewinder fair enough, but having a puff here and there aint gonna hurt. and like i said...there are edibles. cannabis has helped a lot of people with various health issues...look it up

@beermeplease Let me explain something to you.

When I turned 13, I vowed I would never smoke, never drink alcohol and never use narcotics, INCLUDING marijuana.

Then, due to a few personal problems, when I turned 17 I started drinking alcohol as a way of coping.

I was an on again/off again alcoholic for 15 years.

I had forsworn myself in my vow to never drink.

And even though at the time, I had forsworn myself in my vow never to drink, I still stuck to my vow never to smoke or use narcotics. (I guess two out of three ain't bad.

And now after 5 years of soberiety I have a renewed vow to continue to be sober and abstainent for the rest of my life.

In the long run, my heart, lungs, brain, liver and all my other assorted good and plenty will thank me for it in the end.

@Sidewinder Speaking as a long-time pothead, I'm going to say that it sounds to me like you should stay away from any potentially addictive substances, even weed.

But it's not a narcotic.
