    Well personally it's effected me a bit, my memory is always hazy and often I was just completely forget where I'am or what I'am doing for like 30 seconds (even when not high).

    But I've been smoking daily ever since a young age so it's gonna have some certain effects

  6. #6 Billygo, Aug 1, 2012

    There is none, that poster is totally wrong. There is no link between cannabis usage and long term stupidity or 'slowness'

    He used to be a user, apparently Ive done some research and it doesnt make people under 18 who use it stupid/slow it just makes them lose motivation

    This. Also 18 isn't just some magical age where everything changes, and weed doesn't necessarily cause minors to lose motivation. Do some real research not some yahoo answers bullshit

    I think you should wait until you're atleast 18 to smoke. :)

    Haha alright man I agree I think its ok for teenagers if they are mature enough for it, Id say about minimum age for younger people who use it should be 15

    I look at it like this: We are what we are.. as far as slowness or stupidity is concerned. When the doctor prescribes us xanax or valium, which effect our thinking, he doesn't warn us about all the side effects involved with that (physical/psychological addiction, etc), and while hemp may make us somewhat forgetful, it is NOT physically addictive (we will not experience physical withdraw symptoms likewith pills). Experiment with what works for you.

    15 is too young you should be focusing on school etc not smoking

    It makes my wit really slow

    But it helps my ADHD. I can learn faster, but the downside is it makes me quieter and less social

    I'd say 18 is a good age to start blazing. While it is true that cannabis can make you slower, I find that if you keep your seshes down to once every few days you'll be fine. Those effects are also temporary and your brain will return to full capacity within 1-6 months after stopping smoking.

    Its different for everybody I started at 15 . I Did get a little obssesed with it for like a year but I grew out of it and am successful and not mentally slow.

    Look my opinion is a 15 year old can smoke as long as they get their homework and shit done first so they dont fuck up and as long as they only smoke like once or twice a week

    Studying before blazing, otherwise they shouldnt smoke
