Some people say they started smoking marijuana at the age of 12 due to stress and they turned out fine.

I don't know if safe is the right word as overuse of both will have negative effects. It'll have more negative effects on developing brains and bodies.

Regular alcohol consumption is never "safe." Don't know as much about weed.

A drink a day has been shown to have health benefits.

Nothing was more cringy in school than the pot smokers always trying to convince us that because one intelligent person smoked the devil's lettuce, that that meant all pot smokers actually had higher IQ's.

To answer your question, never. Find some other way to be able to be happy. Drugs are a crutch, a plague upon our species.

Stick with weed. Just look at people in there 40-50s that only smoke or drink. It's obvious which path really controls your life. However if you can drink as a once or twice a month thing it can make for really fun nights. Once you start drinking alone is when you should check yourself imo.

12 is definitely way too early. It won't destroy you but it'll definitely fuck with some shit. Probably memory.

This is coming from someone whose whole support system smoked weed tho. Once most of them started drinking daily, we stopped chilling so much.

Can't believe I actually agree with this guy for once.

And for the record, I laugh at those that say "smoking makes you look cool". Guess what. This isn't Hollywood. When I see someone smoke, I just think "Look at that guy/girl... wasting their life away".

I guess if you can do it responsibly. What's even entertaining about drinking alone? I personally think it makes me really bored with everything around my house. I just wanna go socialize when I drink

I don't discuss matters pertaining to illegal or recreational drugs since it's not a topic that arouses my curiosity.

Marijuana has no proven harm to the body/brain past the age of 25. Alcohol damages the brain (if done excessively) always.

16-21. It largely depends upon the culture. Many of our problems with (legal?) substance abuse in youth is uniquely our own.We do everything in extremes, from austerity to wantonness.

The prohibition on alcohol consumption below the age of 21 means a lot of kids are exposed to drinking in unsafe uncontrolled environments. Because it's illegal for them to do so, there is a culture of silence surrounding drinking and drug culture here. That culture of silence manifests every time someone dies from alcohol poisoning because their friends were too afraid of being punished to call an ambulance at the first sign of danger.

a drink a day has benefits for your heart health
20 drinks a day hurts your liver and kidneys

as for weed. the biggest danger of weed is that it does harm a developing brain. around 25 your brain is finished developing and weed wont cause permanent damage anymore

Weed isnt really considered psychedelic though...

Both respond to anxiety in different ways so be self-aware.


Too true. Even down to the usage amount. I smoke very small amounts and at times if I take even a hit more it will fuck up my whole time. Saves me a shit ton of money tho

Depends on the person. I drink a glass of cheap boxed wine everyday. My group of friends prefer sober gaming and TC watching. We're not never drink people, we just don't like it.

At my best I would smoke 4-7 joints a day. It's not sustainable if you don't have a high-paying job, or pothead roommates which is why I usually can't afford to smoke that much. And I've done the small toke of a bowl thing too. Good weed is powerful stuff. For me it's like drinking coffee or tea. I went through university smoking spliffs in between study breaks. At first I would save the weed smoking for the weekends, but eventually I adapted that into my everyday schedule because I was surrounded by stoners who could "match". Nowadays I don't have that cost-efficient luxury :P


Yeah. When I was growing up, everytime I got money it would go towards matching someone and smoking as much weed as we could get throughout the day. I mooched off my family too but I always been the type of company that will volunteer to do chores and what not. Id leave at any sign that they'd prefer me not there lol. Now what I smoke doesn't even have to be factored into my budget.

If your only way of having a good time is with alcohol or weed, then I got some bad news for you.
