Thread: Pot for kids

  1. #1

    Pot for kids

    I just got done watching the Eddie Bravo and Joe Rogan Podcast and im in love with Joe Rogan's pod casts, he is so easy to understand and all the stuff he says and talks about gives me new ideas to research and think about. But i was listening to part when they were talking about how much marijauna has helped them and how it really benefits you if your not fucked up physically or mentally.

    Well what about kids? Im still in highschool, im kind of young but right now im a total anti-drug person. I understand why adults use them, for new ideas, for inspiration, to "get in the groove" and all that stuff, but is there a reason for highschool students to smoke weed? Eddie and Joe were right about there being a clear stereotype for potheads that all of them are lazy and never want to do anything, although Eddie and Joe are insanely busy all the time. But the kids at my school that smoke pot, they are lazy as fuck, they get horrible grades, they get in fights all the time, and their maturity level is just so low.

    So i have to ask you, if you smoke pot under the age of 18 do you fit in that clear stereotype of being lazy? I've looked into drugs a lot, i understand why people use them, sometimes people think im on drugs because of just how relaxed and chill i am ALL the time, but really right now im the biggest anti-drug person i know. The main thing why i think kids in school take drugs is because they cant manage stress at all. They want to escape and to me thats a pussy way of dealing out your problems. You dont have to be all redneck and try to be a total badass or anything about your problems but dont go to a last resort before you try things our yourself and have a little pride in yourself.

    What do you guys think about all that? This is my first post btw, im a hardcore MMA fan and i LOVE to predict fights and do analysis's and all that good stuff and sort of do my own match making of fights i'd love to see happen. Hit me back with your thoughts on highschool students smoking pot.

    No. Same as alcohol, young bodies don't handle it the same. Males don't stop growing until early 20's and female's mid-20's.

    I smoked weed when I was a kid and did fine. I remember I typed up an essay about the holocaust when I was high and got an A+. I was about 16 at the time.

    the people who I saw do badly were the people who based their entire life around getting high. I was friends with a kid who would scrounge up change and walk a couple miles everyday to pick up a sack. He told me he got offered a job promotion at his work (subway) but didn't take it so he could smoke more weed. Just don't be that guy and you'll be fine.

    Getting into any drug at a young age can be incredibly destructive unless you NEED it.
    I personally have issues where pot actually balances me out chemically and allows me to function.
    For example I finished 9th grade with a .666 GPA (no joke) and was constantly getting into trouble because of the people I had to associate with to get my medicine. My Mother told me during the summer before 10th grade that to keep me out of trouble she was going to allow me to smoke at home in the basement as long as I didn't get caught getting into shit out side of the home we could keep it like that. After the first semester of tenth grade I was invited to a breakfast for student with the most improved GPA and I was even on the A honor roll. Seeing this improvement mom figured if I was doing this well with drugs I'd do even better if she took them away...can you guess what happened? Grades went RIGHT BACK in the tank and it took me years to get my life back on track(yaay for martial arts!). There was also a lady in New Mexico or something who's kid was like a little psycho 4 year old that was always violent and aggressive until she crushed up herbs and put them into a gel tab and gave it to little dude, she said she cried the first time she gave it to him and he was able to calm down and say "mommy I love you." But for every case like these there are probably a hundred kids who just get stoned and waste their life so...yeah.

    There is a video of Youtube of Joe Rogan saying he had fallen for the Weed line and he didn't take it up till 5 years ago. He looked in his 30's in that clip. The point is that there is a HUGE difference when doing it as a fully grown adult in your 20's and doing it as a young teenager. In my opinion I seriously doubt Michael Phelps would have been as good as he was if he was doing weed since he was 13 or something.

    A friend of mine will finish his Phd in Psychology later this year and smokes weed but didn't start doing it regularly till his mid 20's. I asked him if he had been doing since he was a young teenager where would he be today? He said probably working some shit job somewhere and probably would have wasted his life. So no I don't think weed is for kids in the slightest in my opinion. You need to be able to physically and emotionally handle it and I doubt most kids can. If you take it up I would strongly suggest you wait till your much older.

    Marijuana is a medication, and like a lot of prescription drugs it can also be used for recreational purposes and can be abused.

    It's so funny how calling Marijuana a drug has a completely different stereotype then calling Tylenol a drug. You go to a Drug store and it sounds fine, but you buy drugs and it sounds like your a junky.

    There is a reason why doctors prescribe marijuana and not alcohol to patients and there are people of all ages that are prescribed Marijuana by doctors, not just adults.

    I don't think that age has anything to do with taking Marijuana, it's your reasons for taking it. Just don't be an abuser.

    I smoked all throughout middle and high school. I was intelligent then, and I still am, but my memory is completely fucked up. I can still learn and all that, but my friends will often catch me telling them the same thing several times.

    I went to school with a lot of the stupid stoners who failed, but like everyone else is saying, its up to the person, its not the drug. I knew one kid who smoked all the damn time though, and he had a pretty much full time job, in HS, and was in the top 10 of the class... I honestly think the drug isnt bad, people are just stupid and lazy.
