Howdy w33,

I started at 12 in '72..been toking since..gotta lot more tokin to do,especially now because of my bad back,and if the Lord be willing,I'll be able to grow my own medicine and finally git the potency and quality I need. Yup..34 years of tokin--and hopefully another 34 ! lol

Have a good one !

I was 12, now 38. I made it a point to let my daughter know it was something I wanted her to avoid untill she was out of school and and old enough to make that decision for herself. She's 23 and does not party. Just because I love it doesnt mean I want my kid doing it. Double standards suck, but sometimes they just cant be avoided.
Wait till your older than pre-teens, older yet is preferrable.

Had the occasional toke when I was 13/14 and became a regular smoker when I was 16>

smoked weed first at 12 then got heavily addicted to cigarrettes at 13(like a pack a day smoker) then at 14 i got a job so i could fuel my habits and decided to use the herb to help me quit smoking. so i started smoking weed everyday and i barely ever smoke cigarrettes anymore im 16 now

I started smoking when I was 12 or 13, not sure exactly. I just remember it was the 8th grade. I'm 35 now. All that shit about memory loss and brain damage is exactly that-SHIT.

I would have been the perfect anti-weed poster child in high school. I was stoned almost every day in school and barely graduated. A couple years after graduating high school, however, I decided to go back to school. I end up getting bachelor's degrees in both International Business and Eastern Studies, graduating with honors. Along the way I also managed to learn to speak/read/write Chinese fluently. All while being a regular,at least once a day, smoker. (I also did a lot of acid and lots and lots of shrooms but that's a different story)

Bottom line is that weed really doesn't do anything negative to your brain. As long as you are responsible and can set your priorities there's no argument against using it. If you are naturally a slacker it probably won't help matters much. Even if you don't use it you'll probably still be a slacker though so...

Been toking since i was 16, the only mental strain is the fact they won't leagalize it so they make us all criminals!!!! for smoking a weed that grows naturally i my opinion they give it to all the world leaders then we may have less need to go to war. Go on Bush&Blair take a toke on the pipe of peace.give us all a break!!!!!!!!!!
