Ok i'm 15 and my first time was on the last day of school of Year 10 for my birthday. One of my best friends isn't a dealer, he just has connections and we wagged school and did it. I know this isn't informing you of the bad effects of marijuana but im just telling you my story.

Since the first time, i've done it 8 times and yes i'm saying it's an amazing experience. People might argue and say it messes with your brain and they know someone who knows someone who has died or who has brain damage from smoking too much weed but everything is ok in moderation. Cigarettes are not addictive if you have one every time you drink or once a week or whatever. My boss gave me this advice and i've followed it.

I made it my goal to only smoke once a month and helllllloooo Year 11. Got my life ahead of me, no addiction, no brain damage and i'm fine. Everyone is different. I'm not saying smoke weed it wont kill you! But if you smoke 15 cones every day, 7 days a week then yeah you're going to have to face the consequences. But for me, moderation is the key to any experiment.
