hi,
In general, smoking weed would make feel like as if there is nothing better on earth. That is totally wrong my friend. You will become less productive, exhaust energy and totally get depressed and negative in the long run. To avoid further consequences I would recommend you read Gary Evans scientifically developed exercises, techniques and secrets can help you increase your health, improve your wealth, and help you achieve the smoke free lifestyle you have always wanted. http://69638pvh0ckz6qd-ebs5rb1q1g.hop.clic kbank.net/?tid=EHF

Are you for real? Are you the one with the brother that posted here about suicide? First off, you kids need to get rid of the weed. It is frying your brains. Go back and read your post. Does that sound like a kid with normal thinking? You don't think you will go to harder drugs from smoking weed? When the high isn't high enough, what next? How many hard core addict do we know that started with weed? You are throwing you life away for a stupid piece of rolled up paper with some crushed leaves in it. Your brother, (if it was your brother) posted about suicide. Weed is not going to make you happier. Sooner or later you have to come off that high. What then? What do you plan to do in the future? Hang around the streets and beg for money to buy drugs? You say you love to smoke weed. You post sounds like a very unhappy kid to me, so the weed isn't working. Sorry to sound so harsh, but if you were my child, I'd be on you like rust on a muffler getting you to straighten out. Life is too short to waste a single minute on this crap. Just ask someone who is laying in the hospital dying of cancer. They would give everything they own to have one day of your 17 year old life.
So your parents smoked weed when they were your age. Do you have to play follow the leader? Try doing something productive with your life. It will give you the self-confidance to be happy without smoking that junk. All weed is, is a crutch for people who can't get a high out of just being lucky enough to be on this planet.

Weed or death jennyjena?

First of all don't say anything that silly if you want your parents to take you seriously. If you want a life that involves marijuana talk to your parents about it. Don't sneak it and get caught. Don't conspire with your friends to score and get ratted out. Your parents did this as teens, they know your tricks and they understand what you're going through too. They were you.

Do your homework. Come up with a convincing argument as to why they should let their daughter smoke an illegal narcotic that will sap her will to accomplish things in life. Explain how you propose to make it work and how it benefits them. Keep in mind you not throwing a fit because they won't let you smoke isn't really a benefit. Really find reasons why they should allow it. Sit them down and make them listen to your points. If they tell you 'no' ask them to explain why. Maybe there's arguments you haven't heard from them. Maybe if they have to justify their stance they'll realize it's not unreasonable to let you smoke.

What you're shooting for is a compromise like "If you let me smoke out it will always be at home where I'm safe with one or more of you to watch over me. If I fall behind at school or fail to take care of chores around the house I will lose the right to smoke". It may not be the marijuana lifestyle you want but at least it's not death.

Also do you know the reason your parents aren't smoking now? I'm guessing it's not because working jobs and raising a child is so much more fun. Chances are something happened in their life that made them stop. If they haven't talked about it maybe you should find out. It could give you some perspective on the future of your habit or it may help you convince them its safe for you.

How great are they doing? How much money are they pulling in a year? Do any of them own a home or even a decent car? Are any of them married? Have kids? When you look down the line at the things you'd like to have in life. How many of your friends doing Alcohol Shrooms and pot are doing that stuff?

ok ok ok wait.
I don't think smoking weed TOO much is right foryou.
But, and let me finish here;

some people cannot tolerate it, that's definetely true. I know too many people that can;t, including myself. It can make you feel ill, lazy, whatever, and it certainly doesn't help any motivation either.
But,
I know many people, including a close friend, who have been smoking weed since just before your age actually, 15 or 16 I think, and they have kids, wonderful kids, a good job, great houses...you can't always stereotype weed-smokers - they aren't all bad. And some of them CAN live a good life too.
Good luck my friend in whatever you choose to do. But if you start getting ahead of yourself and making stupid decisions, or maybe no decisions at all, then think 'should I stop smoking weed?'
Good luck =] xx
