Edit: one of my famous misconstrued replies

[SCope13]

yeah, you don't know that.

this. I dont know, maybe he just wants to get high? Crazy, I know.


Smoking weed once in a while when you're 15 or whatever age he is isn't gonna fuck him up as long as he's responsible. He can make his own decisions.

Yes I fucking do, do you know the exact specifications of how I contracted this? Google how many people get this disorder from smoking too much. I've obsessed over this day and night for 9 months, I know exactly what I'm talking about. I'm not gonna discuss my own experience further cos I don't expect people to understand, all ill say is that if a 14 year old boy wants to start smoking herb then there are dangers in place and to ignore them is foolish and naive

i think he was referring to your support of this statement....

when you're as young as he is your brain (and the rest of your body) isn't fully developed and drugs have the potential to damage it more than if you did the same at 21. you don't have to go "all out", ever, but if you're going to do anything, it's better for your health to wait.

come on, smoking pot once or twice won't damage you

might not damage a lot of people but that doesn't mean it won't damage you.

cannabis induced chronic depersonalisation/derealisation is really not altogether uncommon. there is even a film about exactly that starring chandler from friends

yes, in many cases you need to have a pre-existing vulnerability for drugs to trigger some adverse effect. but you often have no idea whether that vulnerable person is *you*. in vulnerable persons, drug x can cause effect y. that doesn't mean that the drug isn't in fact the sufficient cause of y in this instance. so to say that just because you had a vulnerability, the drug can be largely removed from the picture (as a few recent comments suggested) is wrong, and i'd go as far as to say quite dangerous.

Over the past few years, research has strongly suggested that there is a clear link between early cannabis use and later mental health problems in those with a genetic vulnerability - and that there is a particular issue with the use of cannabis by adolescents.


A study following 1600 Australian school-children, aged 14 to 15 for seven years, found that while children who use cannabis regularly have a significantly higher risk of depression, the opposite was not the case - children who already suffered from depression were not more likely than anyone else to use cannabis. However, adolescents who used cannabis daily were five times more likely to develop depression and anxiety in later life.

Schizophrenia
Three major studies followed large numbers of people over several years, and showed that those people who use cannabis have a higher than average risk of developing schizophrenia. If you start smoking it before the age of 15, you are 4 times more likely to develop a psychotic disorder by the time you are 26. They found no evidence of self-medication. It seemed that, the more cannabis someone used, the more likely they were to develop symptoms.

Why should teenagers be particularly vulnerable to the use of cannabis? No one knows for certain, but it may be something to do with brain development. The brain is still developing in the teenage years – up to the age of around 20, in fact. A massive process of ‘neural pruning’ is going on. This is rather like streamlining a tangled jumble of circuits so they can work more effectively. Any experience, or substance, that affects this process has the potential to produce long-term psychological effects.

Recent research in Europe, and in the UK, has suggested that people who have a family background of mental illness – and so probably have a genetic vulnerability anyway - are more likely to develop schizophrenia if they use cannabis as well.

etc etc etc etc etc.

people are way too quick to leap to the defence of drugs when people have adverse responses to them... guys drugs don't have to be 100% safe and risk free for it to be ok for you to do them. you don't need to defend them. i WOULD say it's not very responsible to encourage children to do them, though.

How significantly would the chances of a trigger be reduced if taken regularly at the age of adulthood, lets say 18?
How significant is the risk around that age or on a fully developed brain?

i dont know mate.

[ultraspatial]

I'm not encouraging anything; just saying that he's gonna do it anyway since he's so curious about it, and people telling him not to do it ain't gonna stop him. maybe it'll be alright, maybe not, but it's not your responsibility.
