[PinkFloyd]

Yeah, one time

[Abyssal Echo]

[CharlieHorse]

Nope
Don't want to

[Dake]

3-4 times a month its cool

[stev]

Nope and Marijuana isn't "cool"

[Sordid Saint]

yes.

[Naue]

Nope, and I don't ever intend to.

Especially at my age where it has been seen to impact brain development.

[workingatperfect]

Yup.

[xmojox]

Yeah, I have.

[Erasmus]

Nope, and I don't ever intend to.

Especially at my age where it has been seen to impact brain development.

Exactly this. I never have, and never will.

[LoNgPyJaMaS]

I have and would do it again but some of my friends tried and completly freaked out. I guess you have to start slow if you dont want to end up in a bathtub crying.

[PinkFloyd]

yeah, many times

Dang, man I wasn't expecting you to be a pot head! :P

[SAR151]

Nah never, don't plan to but I don't have beef against anyone who does. If you choose to that's your choice.

[Nellerin]

Nope, and I don't ever intend to.

This article does not mention anything about adolescents and marijuana use.

This one was done for those aged 16-20. The brain is in a different stage of development at 16 than it is at younger ages (it's more mature).

To answer the question, no, I haven't, and I doubt I will.

Government experts now admit that pot doesn't kill brain cells.1 This myth came from a handful of animal experiments in which structural changes (not actual cell death, as is often alleged) were observed in brain cells of animals exposed to high doses of pot. Many critics still cite the notorious monkey studies of Dr. Robert G. Heath, which purported to find brain damage in three monkeys that had been heavily dosed with cannabis.2 This work was never replicated and has since been discredited by a pair of better controlled, much larger monkey studies, one by Dr. William Slikker of the National Center for Toxicological Research3 and the other by Charles Rebert and Gordon Pryor of SRI International.4 Neither found any evidence of physical alteration in the brains of monkeys exposed to daily doses of pot for up to a year. Human studies of heavy users in Jamaica and Costa Rica found no evidence of abnormalities in brain physiology.5 Even though there is no evidence that pot causes permanent brain damage, users should be aware that persistent deficits in short-term memory have been noted in chronic, heavy marijuana smokers after 6 to 12 weeks of abstinence.6 It is worth noting that other drugs, including alcohol, are known to cause brain damage."

This applies to all ages, there is nothing that smoking weed can do that will cause brain damage.

[VictoriaGotaSecret]

I have and will again. Also 420 is coming!

If only the source wasn't so incredibly bias.

[Nellerin]

Haha ok then here http://healthpsych.psy.vanderbilt.edu/2009/MarijuanaBrain.htm

Same exact view on marijuana from a non-biased perspective. If you knew about what Marijuana did in the body you would know that it cannot actually hurt you and definitely can't "kill brain cells."

Taken from the header of that site:

Papers written by students providing scientific reviews of topics related to health and well being

Not to disqualify college students or anything, but I'm not sure that is the best source of information.

[Anonimi]

Nope, maybe i'll try it one day but i don't feel like it would add to my life, also since durgs aren't cheap, i think i have better stuff to spend my money on.

[thisisben]

Marijuana is NOT cool , do you want to age yourself so quick, ugh so many dodgy people.

[pineinchneis]

i havent but id try it

[bloodshot_eyes]

Yeah, not much to do in my town.

[Ajmichael]

Never have, never will... That would completely ruin my ideal career...

[SamanthaMaciel]

no but want to try it

[Synyster Shadows]

Never will. I just got home from a speech thing by a former NBA player for the Celtics. He ruined his life from addiction and what did it start with? Marijuana, at my age - 8th grade. His story touched, informed, and scared the hell out of me.

[unknownuser]

No.
I don't plan to either...

[nutjob]

No never will.
Never knew anyone that did it until I moved to Australia. The number of people (my age, only 13) that do it here is pathetic :p

[roadwarrior]

Nope, but I will never do it....

[Celtic.]

never smoked it and dont want too. I know people who sell it though

[JoaoBraz]

Yes i Had and it is good!! I thinks it's alright but NEVER use other drugs beside that1"!

I am against the use of drugs not the use of marijuana


btw DON'T SMOKE MARIJUANA TO LOOK COOL! iT DOESNT MAKE YOU COOL!
sMOK IT IF YOU FEEL GOOD NOT TO IMPRESS ANY1

Why not? A lot of research is conducted by college students - specifically research students. They're the people being taught how to research their specified subject(s). There is no reason to discredit a college student's research paper. In fact there is even a list of references found at the bottom of that article, which are backed by numerous more "official" websites and papers.

I am against the use of drugs not the use of marijuana

If a non-food substance produces an altered function of the body, that non-food substance is a drug.

Marijuana alters the function of the body. Therefore marijuana is a drug.

Never will. I just got home from a speech thing by a former NBA player for the Celtics. He ruined his life from addiction and what did it start with? Marijuana, at my age - 8th grade. His story touched, informed, and scared the hell out of me.

Marijuana is not a gateway drug. If a person promotes themselves to harder drugs they are making a conscious decision to do so. You control the substance, the substance doesn't control you.

Op; I use marijuana weekly.

[Phenomenon]

Yeah, I live in WA so it's pretty much lining the pockets of everyone I know, and it's fucking radical. There are few things better than getting high out of your mind, taking a nice hot bath, eating some pizza, and cuddling with your love. Don't even get me started on high sex, indescribable.

[OFD-Lt.Mark]

Nope. I get drug testesd for work every week so I can get away with it.
