Context is everything. It's hardly going to kill you--it'll just make you really, really stupid for a while. But, then, that's a condition of adolescence, isn't it? I survived pot and adolescence.
The problem, I think, is that there're no good boundaries established by the culture for experiences of intoxication. It's either a)"just say no" or b)get F'd up and drive Dad's car and kill yourself or your friend or some bystander or all three. People *will* intoxicate themselves. We're just bad at keeping them safe while they do so.
Ritual is good. A strong social network is good. You got those, you got no problem, in the long run. You don't got those, you got people who just want to get F'd up and stay F'd up, and then you got a problem.

I started in high school and to this day, I wish I hadn't. Maybe I would have paid more attention in class, been more motivated, blah blah blah, whatever. I think that if you're in school, that's what you should be focused on. Pot is an impediment to that focus. I speak from experience.

I tried it a couple times through 8th and 9th grade, but never really thought that it was worth the money and trouble. no big deal.

I started late, at 21-22... Hoepfully i didn't try earlier because he stones me that much that i wouldn't have studied much I suppose...
I'm not against, but some teenagers smoke too much and a too strong weed.
I wish they smoke with comprehensive adults and parents (what someteens do with me or what some parents i knwo do with their children) so they would smoke more intelligentlty...if taht can be. But, where's the rebellion???

Better to experience it years before you qualify for a drivers license. You won't hurt anyone that way.
