This is a good question. I'd say no. Mostly because smoking is bad for your health. You can't miss something you've never tried. If you knew you wouldn't like it that much and smoke like once a week it might not be bad, but you don't know how much you'd like it.
I started smoking when I was 17. I spent 10s of thousands on it. I distanced myself from people that don't smoke. I was never home because I can't smoke in my house. The people that someone just smokes with aren't their friends. I stopped smoking, and none of them hit me up anymore. The only advantage is that it can be very enjoyable, and something to do.
Actually, studies have shown Marijuana actually isn't overly bad for you and smoking is not the only way to consume it. You can easily vape (way better for you), or eat edibles. Also, recent study found that Marijuana has been shown to actually help fight lung cancer due to when inhaling individuals often hold the inhale as long as possible (opposed to cigarette smoking where you're basically just passing tar through your lungs.)
The whole "you can't miss something you never tried" argument may work if you've never actually heard of what you're missing. If you have no idea it exists, of course you can't miss it. Now, if you're aware it exists (ex: not doing sociable things while at college and just sitting indoors at all times), you're definitely missing out.
Even if someone likes it, regulate how much you smoke. Weed is not something that needs to change your entire life.
Going to have to call bullshit on this one. Now, I could totally be wrong, but you're claiming to having spent 10's of thousands on weed, yet can't smoke in your own house (which alludes to living with your parents.) Spending even $10k on weed is ridiculous, in expensive parts of the U.S. you can get a gram for $20-$25 and 8th for $60. How long did you smoke for? Because to spend that amount, you're looking at a decade (for like $42-48k) smoking nearly an ounce a month which is a ton.
How is what I stated making me a huge prick? Everything I said is indeed true... Weed can in fact harm my life, on a small dose of course, not like I'd be scratching my wrists and asking people for money all of sudden... But what if I have to pass a drug test? What if my mom finds out I smoke? What if I get caught and arrested for having weed?
This is all hypothetical and I'm just digging into a hole of excuses but I'm not trying to be a prick -.-
Everything can harm your life. Driving, eating, playing video games, your cell phone, weed, alcohol, tobacco, you name it. You just said you're digging a hole of excuse. Don't ask for input on what you should do when it's obvious your decision is made.
Apparently you're only asking for input that correlates with what you already want/plan on doing (well, not doing.)
I really appreciate the fact that you came in and told me your point of view and admitting that it's effecting your life because some people are just too scared to admit it that it's effecting theirs.
Again, looking for someone to provide some input to corroborates what you already think/your preconceived notions. "Just to scared to admit." Oh fuck off, you can smoke weed and be a well-functioning member of society. Weed in no way has to negatively effect your life.
