(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I've never ever been very social. I hardly ever spoke in school even to the teachers. In kindergarten children would avoid me because I was so silent and I was eventually sent to a social worker that i've had to go to for six years. I hardly ever even talk to my parents. I am now thirteen and I go to middle school, but things are still the same. I wouldn't necessarily say i'm depressed, but yes I am sad a lot inside. The most words I usually say in a day are about 10 although I speak very fluent with a well built vocabulary. When people talk to me I have no idea on what I should say and when I do say something i'm afraid of people judging me. When I say something people stare at me as if it's a miracle of some sort and I feel as though everyone staring at me....I then get really embarrassed, hot, and red in the face. Is there anything I can do or perhaps any pills I can take? I've thought about trying (cannabis) weed...(just once every week or so), since everyone I know is doing it. I'm really smart for my age (as most people say) and adept to learning. I'm 13, studying mathematics, physics, programming, and hardware engineering...will something like weed really effect me in a bad way? I just want to be more sociable and more able to talk to people...i'm sick of being an outcast to people. I just want to be happy and more capable of making friends. The most i've ever had were 3 or 5 and I get really lonely.

Weed doesn't kill brain cells the THC in marijuana doesn't affect brain cells at all. Where as drinking can and thats legal. Although I dont agree with this kid smoking it as it can stunt growth because he is not fully grown-up and other things, but don't be one of those people who talks about weed without knowing..

Actually, i've been working out every day for a couple weeks. The clothes suggestion is not something i'm going to follow though. The way I dress is how I interpret my style. If I were catoregized under anything, it would probobly be a "nerdy emo punk" or whatever people see when they look at me. I wear dark clothes, I like piercings, clothes with studs, and I recently dyed my hair dark black with red streaks...thats just my style. I'm not going to dress like a jocky douche because people don't lik the way I dress. Thanks for the advice though and welcome to Nextgenupdate .

Thank you....this was sort of the point I was trying to make on the marijuana debate.

Please do your homework before making false assumptions. Weed does damage the brain, as to your POV, you obviously smoke so much weed you have no idea what the fuck your talking about. Weed is never the answer to anything. Why people smoke it is a question beyond me....

It does damage the brain haha Funny before it was made as a medical solution in california it went under testing to hundreds of people for years heavy use and not one person had any cell damage and it was found it help conditions like alzheimer's and can reduce cancerous cells. Also no I don't smoke weed, but weed is less harmful than cigarettes and alcohol and thats a scientific fact. Anyways what your problem with it, do you harass people who drink beers etc in bar, because if you dont you are a hypocrite because alcohol does kill brain cells. Tobacco causes nearly 500,000 deaths per year, alcohol is nearly 100,000 where as weed has never killed anyone, So I don't really think your argument is valid just because you are being pump full of propaganda from the news about weed...

Your evidence is nothing to me without proof and or source of where it was found.

Tobacco : 435,000
Alcohol : 85,000
Prescription Drugs : 32,000
Suicide: 30,622
Sexual Fetishes : 20,000
All illegal drug use (excluding marijuana) : 17,000
Aspirin : 7,600
Marijuana : 0

Btw all these test and statistics are from people with Phds in their fields, just incase you think you know more than them...

You've linked to a bunch of interesting websites, but what would actually be interesting is medical papers that have been published in legitimate, peer-reviewed medical journals by reputable researchers. Please link to such articles.

Also, it is my understanding that while deaths resulting directly from a marijuana-overdose are extremely rare, marijuana-related deaths are much less rare. It is also my understanding that many marijuana-related deaths are reported as accidents (or any alternative cause is given), with much greater frequency than other drug-related deaths. It's hearsay for now, as I don't feel like digging up the sources and if I recall correctly, the articles I read were from a few months ago, but I believe that's what I've read.

I think many of us here do admit that marijuana has medicinal benefits. In my original post, I believe I even stated that he should see his doctor, who may prescribe marijuana or a synthetic alternative - which would be both safer (as it would be taken in medically prescribed amounts) and legal. What you're suggesting is blatantly illegal* - and you're suggesting it to a minor! I personally don't trust people who suggest that minors begin their lives with a criminal record.

* in most areas

No doctor who values his practice would release anything. Please remember the English government fired Professor David Nutt just because he criticized there decision to move cannabis from a class c drug, to a class b drug. Also if you read my original post you would see I said I did not want him nor advise him to smoke weed I advised against it. Also with weed you would need a extremely large amount to 'overdose' but you can't really say that too much of anything will kill you. I read that if it took you three hits to get high it would take nearly 100,000 hits to kill you or overdose on it making it virtually impossible. Also I definitely did not tell that kid to smoke weed, please read I advised against it and he thanked the post so you can see. I don't think anyone should smoke it but if it can help from a doctor legally then I am all for it and I think people should be allowed to use it.

Dman was just simply trying to explain some facts abut marijuana. He did not tell me that I should smoke it. In fact he even stated in one of his posts that I should not try and smoke marijuana as an anti-depressant. You do make a very good point with the medical death records of marijuana though.
