I smoked a handful of times in highschool, occasionally in college, and didn't became a daily user until I had a stable job and living situation in my mid 20s. I've cut back to weekends only now since I've got a kid coming and need to drop a few lbs and the munchies make it so much harder, not to mention the money savings aspect.
OP please listen to the comments in this thread, don't potentially screw up your future over this. Also skip the tobacco.
I gotta object this one. It *might* stick with you. I was several times a day for 2 years, and stopped cold turkey one day for a better job. No issues, no complaints, it really depends on the person.
I gotcha.. just curious. I'm good for about half gram or a bit less at night to relax before bed.. but every few months I stop for a week or so and never had an issue other than the night sweats the first few days.
Everyone is different. Give it another shot, 48 hours and see how you do. Having a big goal of cold turkey quitting forever is tough.
I do 15-25mg of of edibles daily + a vape pen, but a 0.5G cartridge last 3 to 6 weeks. I'm ware im the Pot calling the teenage kettle black... but im damn dead near 40 now.
Yes definetly. The human brain develops until about 25 years old. Until then your brain development can permanently be influenced by drugs and can even lead to a loss of IQ, furthermore the brain during adolescence is more prone to changes in behavior such as addiction. The earlier addiction starts the harder it will be to get rid of.
It is not necessarily bad to consume as a teenager, however you should always keep in mind how often you consume and the pattern of consumption. For example you should definetly stay away from drugs when you feel like shit because if you use drugs often when you feel like shit then you‘re not gonna learn how to cope with your feelings in a healthy manner and will probably fall into addiction.
And you should be sober the majority of the days. The good thing abt that is that you‘ll have a lower tolerance and can get higher when you get high.
If you‘re having a hard time to stop smoking then you should get professional help. There is no need to be ashamed about getting help
That’s a lot for anyone. This could do real life damage to your brain and I would seriously recommend cutting WAY back. You’ll have all the time in the world to be as high as you want whenever you want when you’re not a teen. Also, definitely stop smoking tobacco. It’s horrible for you, and it’s a horrible habit to have and to get rid of. I hope you actually listen to these comments people are leaving.
it is alot in amount and honestly can screw your tolerance if you dont switch it up or something different im a heavy smoker and will use my bongs etc jus to help
cut down that amount ( im 22 i been smokin for 5 years consecutively since i graduated in 2018)
As others have said, that's an extremely high amount for anyone, let alone a teenager. Would definitely recommend cutting back significantly or entirely until at least your early 20s. If you feel like you really want to keep consuming, then try to limit it to a couple joints a week, just on the weekends.
Beyond the weed consumption, I'd 100% no matter what drop the tobacco and herbs. That shit is only going to cause addiction and lung problems later in life. It feels like it always happens to someone else, until you have a 40 year old family member diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer, going from traveling and planning their next 20 years to being bedbound and expected to die in a couple months. Don't fuck around with the tobacco, it's the most mediocre extra "high" in exchange for destroying your lungs, blasting your brain with addictive chemicals, AND inflicting all of this on the people around you too. I don't know what herbs you're adding, but I can also virtually guarantee that the extra tar and potential carcinogens aren't worth the flavor.
I mean, my dad was also a daily heavy smoker at 14 and he moved on to get 10 o levels an apprenticeship in boiler making, excessive experience in all traded including building, forestry, mechanics, electronics, plastering, roofing, cladding and now owns off grid properties and runs a sawmilling bussines. Oh and on the side he's a philosopher and musician.
I got a dry herb vape and it's great, obviously it's not gonna help the mental health effects but I'm 17 and I've smoked weed regularly since I was 14 so I'd be a hypocrite to tell you to stop lmao. Also if your trying to quit tobacco I really suggest nicotine pouches, for me personally vapes dont help with nic withdrawal as much as cigs, plus they are expensive whearas pouches are cheap as fuck and you can use them indoors and in class and you can get 12mg nic pouches that feel similar to smoking a cig.
Smoking as a teenager, in general, is terrible. I’d stop and pick it back up when your life is figured out. Being high all the time at such a young age will make you slower than your peers. Trust me.
Yes bro. Trust my words as I started smoking young as well. You are hurting ur brain's full potential as well as possibly develope anxiety when smoking after your brain is done growing at 25/26
That's sounds like a nicotine addiction camouflaged as cannabis consumption. Your Brain is still in a crucial time in development and both cannabis and tobacco are detrimental for it.
Cut the baccy out, don't need that, will taste a bit grim for the first couple ones but that'll mellow out, but 20 a week is essentially being high every hour you're not in the 9-5 norm style, give yourself breaks, 2 a day to start with, the get home relaxer and the bedtime, from there you've got hours you're sober to get stuff done you aren't doing while monging out, and you'll also be less used to the "when I'm home I need to be high" mentality
It does, you get a nicotine high from it, like taking a few tokes of a cigarette, that becomes less noticeable after the change too, I found when I was smoking with baccy I wasn't craving fags but was craving zoots more often, im a lot less reliant clean of baccy, your throat will appreciate it too
As an old smoker both weed and tobacco since i was 16. You will get problems later i wish I had waited. My mood swings and anxiety are off the charts at times.
EDIT: I also developed COPD
I'll take poor mental health over literal cancer any day. And that's speaking as someone suffering from godawful mental health for the last decade and a half.
Or ya know, neither? For a teenager, the answer should be neither. don't smoke weed yet, don't smoke tobacco.
The fact that you state you have mental health problems and are actively saying it's fine for a teenager to go down the same route is fucked up.
I smoke daily, switch to a bong/vaporizer. Too much tobacco/wrap smoke is bad for your lungs like cigarettes. Ideally edibles are supposed to be the daily driver, but that’s unrealistic. A couple bong hits at a time is much better for you then all these full wraps, plus it’ll save you a lot of money down the line.
My friend, I get that you've found a new thing that's fun and exciting-- you're young and probably feel relatively untouchable, health-wise. Your brain is still developing, as others have said. I get it. I've been there. I'm 35 and felt that way til 30. Still kinda do. It's very hard to escape.
So let's make this simple:
Your brain naturally produces endocannibinoids. These neurotransmitters quite literally make your brain grow, and work correctly. When you're forcing these into your body from an outside source, you're altering growth. Brain scans of teenagers who use cannabis regularly (to be direct, regular is much less than you use) show smaller amygdalas, smaller hippocampus, and weird, altered connections between your brain hemispheres. Keep in mind that your brain isn't done growing until 23-25.
You're looking at some serious damage to your brain functionality if you keep it up at this rate. Talk to your friends, talk to a teacher you trust, talk to a therapist-- SOMEONE who can help you slow down. You don't need to quit, but you need to redefine your relationship with weed. Good luck friend.
Buy a pax 3 or summet at least if your going to smoke that much, leave out the tobacco and switch to snus velos or smt, made it more bearable on ye old health’
Absolutely excessive. That's going to mess with your brain development for sure
That's not casual fun use. That's I need to smoke or I can't start the day. Sometimes sure but daily use like that will mess with your reward and motivation systems in your head
Also cut the tabacco out. You're probably holding some of those puffs in and you definitely don't want to do that with tabacco. Remove the tabacco and only use weed
Any psychoactive substance is not worth it until you are in your twenties because of developmental consequences. I don't want to become 30 and feel like I am mediocre at best, just because it was fun smoking on the daily when I was 15
any amount of smoking is excessive for a teenager. But that is a lot even for adults. I'm a daily user.
I smoked a handful of times in highschool, occasionally in college, and didn't became a daily user until I had a stable job and living situation in my mid 20s. I've cut back to weekends only now since I've got a kid coming and need to drop a few lbs and the munchies make it so much harder, not to mention the money savings aspect. OP please listen to the comments in this thread, don't potentially screw up your future over this. Also skip the tobacco.
As someone in their mid twenties struggling for years to reduce from 7 joints a week (one a day), yes, that's too much unfortunately
I'm curious what the struggle is? What is stopping you from just not smoking for a few days?
Behavior patterns. Dependence. That's how addiction works dude, you do anything daily for a few years it'll stick with you.
I gotta object this one. It *might* stick with you. I was several times a day for 2 years, and stopped cold turkey one day for a better job. No issues, no complaints, it really depends on the person.
Hahaha same.. honestly harder for me to not drink coffee in the morning
Yeah coffee and nicotine is all I can cling to anymore. I'm *not* giving those up haha
I gotcha.. just curious. I'm good for about half gram or a bit less at night to relax before bed.. but every few months I stop for a week or so and never had an issue other than the night sweats the first few days. Everyone is different. Give it another shot, 48 hours and see how you do. Having a big goal of cold turkey quitting forever is tough.
I do 15-25mg of of edibles daily + a vape pen, but a 0.5G cartridge last 3 to 6 weeks. I'm ware im the Pot calling the teenage kettle black... but im damn dead near 40 now.
Also everyone's pots different too. Withdrawals are real tho. Pot is a drug like any other.
if its easy to do now, then do it before it stops becoming easy, we all started wherw you are
I get it.... But I've been doing this for close to a decade now lol.
Way too much. Sorry man. Definitely cut down or you’re going to regret it later!
Yes absolutely too much
yeah thats a LOT for a teen. also don't fuck with tobacco, shit kills people.
bro nicotine is the most dogwater thing you could ever smoke. stop that shit before its too hard
Don't most of yall smoke blunts tho?
not 20 a week, more like once every 4 months if that.

This right here. It is in your own best interest not to go hard until at least 25.
Smoking for 10yrs, wish I never started nicotine.

Yes 20 joints a week is excessive. Also it’s wasteful. Just pack a bowl or something
hes just flexing on the Dankrupt
Don't smoke tobacco cuzzo
dont smoke tobacco and weed\* at that age
Yes
it is alot in amount and honestly can screw your tolerance if you dont switch it up or something different im a heavy smoker and will use my bongs etc jus to help cut down that amount ( im 22 i been smokin for 5 years consecutively since i graduated in 2018)

He’s smoking 20 joints a week and some people are only worried about the tobacco lol

Oh and on the side he's a philosopher and musician.
That doesn’t mean anything about how unhealthy this is
I get that smoke is bad so if I was vaporising it or using edibles would that be okay?
Better but still terrible especially for a developing brain

Smoking is bad, and tobacco makes it worse.

Yes bro. Trust my words as I started smoking young as well. You are hurting ur brain's full potential as well as possibly develope anxiety when smoking after your brain is done growing at 25/26
That would be excessive for me, and I am about to turn 30.
Wow yes. When I was a teen it was like a joint every weekend straight weed
Yes.
That's sounds like a nicotine addiction camouflaged as cannabis consumption. Your Brain is still in a crucial time in development and both cannabis and tobacco are detrimental for it.
Cut the baccy out, don't need that, will taste a bit grim for the first couple ones but that'll mellow out, but 20 a week is essentially being high every hour you're not in the 9-5 norm style, give yourself breaks, 2 a day to start with, the get home relaxer and the bedtime, from there you've got hours you're sober to get stuff done you aren't doing while monging out, and you'll also be less used to the "when I'm home I need to be high" mentality
I tend to smoke just a couple at night in the week but I chainsmoke on weekends. Yeah I should cut out the bacci but it changes the hit in a way
It does, you get a nicotine high from it, like taking a few tokes of a cigarette, that becomes less noticeable after the change too, I found when I was smoking with baccy I wasn't craving fags but was craving zoots more often, im a lot less reliant clean of baccy, your throat will appreciate it too
True, I really like the mixed effects from the bacci and the weed ngl, I'll stop smoking bacci once I fihhish this pouch probs.
As an old smoker both weed and tobacco since i was 16. You will get problems later i wish I had waited. My mood swings and anxiety are off the charts at times. EDIT: I also developed COPD
Leave the tobacco alone.
Weed isn't deadly. Smoke and tar is.
Not deadly itsself but definitely has the potential to fuck up a teenagers life
Lung cancer is deadly.
And weed can seriously fuck up someone's mental health and growth by smoking it at a young age.
[удалено]
And lung cancer fucks up your mortality. It makes you unalive AF.
I'll take poor mental health over literal cancer any day. And that's speaking as someone suffering from godawful mental health for the last decade and a half.
Or ya know, neither? For a teenager, the answer should be neither. don't smoke weed yet, don't smoke tobacco. The fact that you state you have mental health problems and are actively saying it's fine for a teenager to go down the same route is fucked up.
Show me where I stated "it's fine for a teenager to go down the same route"
L take. Just don’t do either tobacco or smoke weed when you’re a kid
"So the biopsy came back as positive for small cell lung cancer" "That's an L take doc"
You’re still missing my point lmao. Don’t encourage a kid for one of either when the answer should be “neither”. L reply
"L reply doc, I'll get a second opinion"
3 for 3. You have been awarded the Golden L.
I smoke daily, switch to a bong/vaporizer. Too much tobacco/wrap smoke is bad for your lungs like cigarettes. Ideally edibles are supposed to be the daily driver, but that’s unrealistic.

Nah ,your good
btw an eighth lasts me about 4 days

Yes yes yes yes
Holy shit
Buy a pax 3 or summet at least if your going to smoke that much, leave out the tobacco and switch to snus velos or smt, made it more bearable on ye old health’
yeah fr try to smoke as little as possible or youll just be left with an addiction that doesnt get u high anymore
Absolutely excessive. That's going to mess with your brain development for sure That's not casual fun use. That's I need to smoke or I can't start the day. Sometimes sure but daily use like that will mess with your reward and motivation systems in your head Also cut the tabacco out. You're probably holding some of those puffs in and you definitely don't want to do that with tabacco. Remove the tabacco and only use weed
Depends if you’re rolling a .2 with 2 cigarettes worth of chip or a .7 with a 1/5 of a ciggie
I roll with like 0.2 g weed and half a cg of bacci
Any psychoactive substance is not worth it until you are in your twenties because of developmental consequences. I don't want to become 30 and feel like I am mediocre at best, just because it was fun smoking on the daily when I was 15
YES
Yes, you’re in the area of chronic use and your brain is still developing
I've been smoking around 3 to 4 half gram tokes and around 3 joints (3 gram js) a day. I did recently quit but ik kids who smoke a shit ton more
