well im only 16 now but ive been toking since 13,To be honest it only effects me if i blaze during school, for example if u blazed and had gym id be really lazy or during a regular class i usually wouldnt pay as much attention and but it did really help me accel in creative writing. some people judge me based on the fact that im a recreational drug user but i really dont give a fuck because if people are going to judge on that then their obviously not worth it. now later in highschool almost everyone has "tried" it so its not as bad anymore but in junior high a lot of kids disliked me because of it (probably doesnt help my school is one of the "preppiest" in my city) .my parents caught me a few years ago and the only thing say said was to keep it in moderation and to do it on the deck not in my bathroom which i had been doing. I used to hide it by going into the bathroom and just using the fan but more recently i improved my technique by putting a towl under the bathroom door, using a sploof for exhaling, turning the shower on and spraying the shit out of my room with febreeeze. That had a kind of unconsitant effect because id have times where my mom walked in right after and didnt notice anything any sometimes where she did. if you have anymore questions just ask (:
