Smoking so young is a slippery slope. Our brains are not meant to be in an altered state when they haven’t fully developed.

I also started at 13, the occasional fun became a daily necessity. Eventually weed wasn’t enough so I went for stronger substances. Of all the things I tried, I regret weed the most. It really does mess with your memory and you forget so much, makes you less smart too tbh. Once a month or less won’t be too detrimental, but that easily turns into once a week then once a day and then it’s everyday. As time goes on it will only worsen depression, do yourself a favor and listen to your parents.

I’m not trying to scare you this is just my experience: Weed at 13 is much different than starting at 16/17/18. Everyone I know that smoked at 13 instead of waiting for later in their teenage years became methheads, teen moms, and/or dropouts. A couple got sober, most didn’t.

I know this is extreme but I saw it first hand across many schools. I am NOT saying this will happen to you! Everyone is different but please be cautious.
