Should I start?

Don't try and say things like this, taking up a hobby which doesn't involve inhaling combusted plant matter can help you meet new people.

At the end of the day, you will be healthier for not smoking Marijuana, the downsides of smoking it aren't a lot, but there are still some.

If you want to use it wait until you are older, and more mature. Don't try to smoke your problems away, confront them and get rid of them sober.

If you then want to smoke it, brilliant. Just do it responsibly and preferably not everyday. Just use it at the weekends to wind down.

What exactly are the downsides to smoking? I do not see any downsides. Why wait until your older? It's not like you can legally smoke it when your older. Might as well smoke it while your young and don't have a job or need a job.

Putting any psychoactive substance into your body at a young age can affect mental development. ANY psychoactive substance, including Marijuana. It's a sensible choice to wait until you're older and more developed, mentally and physically, before choosing to use a psychoactive substance.

Especially at the age of 13, he's barely even a teenager yet, he can wait a few years. You don't need to start using drugs that early.
 
If your life is so messed up then fix it. don't revert to drugs as something to make you feel better. that what friends are for. when i was your age in 7th grade i got in with the wrong crowd and started doing drugs and all this other stuff and i ended up getting arrested 3 times 7th grade year and being charged with 4 felony's. drugs just don't make your life any better. the problems you are having are most likely from "changes" to your body called puberty. you body is developing and your hormones are screwing with your head. take it from someone who has had the experiences. Pot, that's fine. a little 420 never hurt anyone. but it could also drive you for more and more. i just don't want to see you end up a "bad" kid. if you are feeling this way then talk to your parents. it might be awkward at first and you might not think that they will care or listen but they will. trust me. talk to friends or just play xbox or do something that interests you to get your mind off of the problems in your life. if your into skateboarding then i suggest that. skating always helps me get my mind off of stuff.

If I could give you 100 rep I would. Very well put. I'm not going to do it until I'm about 15 or 16. I also talked to my therapist. He has seen what my brain works like. He says if I put marijuana into my system. It won't help my issues at all. It will just increase them at the least. We can stop arguing about this now. Didn't mean to start such a war.

I wasnt trying to start a war. i just like helping people out. i am 16 years old. and i am a very intelligent kid. i have fucked up many times but its not the end of life. you have to look at life that way. stuff might be hard for you now but you dont wanna get into drugs and possibly cause even more problems. because if you do start drugs it could cause relationship problems. it may also mess up stuff with your family if you get caught. im not trying to tell you not to. im tying to get you to think and to realize that there are more and better ways to fix the problems in your life.
 
We weren't having a war, just a discussion trying to help you out. Certain drugs are good in moderation, just used at the right time in your life and responsibly. I'm glad you've been to see your therapist and sorted this out, you made the right decision.
 
Well, start implies deciding to do it constantly... and I don't think you really decided to 'start' doing something you haven't tried before.

I think you should try it and see if you enjoy it. If you enjoy it, then smoke regularly.

I agree with Fish here.

Sure, it's not TOO bad for you, but there is no way it is good for you, plus it costs money. Why pay money for something you don't need, and will use up?
