i did it in the past no harm came to me apart for me picking up a habit of smoking tobacco. I had fun and enjoyed it but it ain't for everyone
some peops or sick some paranoid etc.

and don't let people scare you say in kill brain cells and low sperm count when aalcohol dose the same. and alcohol can be very additive and people have died throw drinking but no one as died tho take weed. unless smoked with the tobacco and that what kills you not the cannabis

and it non additive if you smoke it Whith out tobacco or have it in cakes.

i wouldn't. my buddy offered me some once, i held it to my mouth, nearly took a puff then was like "what's the point?" it bothered me for a while.

you know my story so my advice to you is do what you want. It's not as harmful as cigarettes, but it's addictive and any addiction can screw up your life.

Smoking weed is technically less harmful than smoking cigarettes (concerning addiction and respiratory harm), but I never did it any more than once a month. Though I have to mention I quit when I heard you have a 70% chance of getting testicular cancer

a good idea, thats hard to define, but please educate yourself on it first before you decide, the erowid pages are a great info source and lists of experiences good and bad as well as all the science stuff. Have to say though, its not a great idea if you are young, like under 18 say.

NO.

it's your call, what are you trying to use it for? the experience is nice, just don't treat it like a party drug or anything.

Easiest quenstion to answer on here:

If you want to be arrested...YES!

If you want to destroy brain ceels and lower sperm count...YES!

If you want 8x the amount of carcinogens than cigarettes...YES!

If you want to disappoint and sadden your family...YES!

If you want to waste a great deal of money...YES!

There's nothing wrong with trying it. As for as "doing it much" or "getting addicted" WEED IS NOT ADDICTIVE! And you cannot overdose but if you over do it much your first time it can make the experience less enjoyable. Make sure your in a comfortable situation with people you know (ideally others who have done it before). Overall though, it shouldn't be too intense of an experience. But something to experience. In my opinion, it's less damaging and dangerous than drinking if done on occasion.

P.S. It does not have to be smoked w/ tobacco and it feels nothing like getting drunk that person has zero idea what they're talking about. And there is no increased risk of testicular cancer.
