1. It's illegal. Duh. If you, by some random act of God, get caught, your life can go down the tubes all because you got curious about how it feels to be high.
He wouldn't get caught with copious amounts of marijuana, so really the charge is only going to be magistrate worthy; a fine, at the worst a anti-drug course.
2. Weed isn't regulated, so it really can be quite unhealthy if you get some bad bud. That's also a risk not worth taking.
The worst that'll happen, is that the plant has been sprayed, and you smoke it, leaving you with a weed headache. There is really no such thing as a bad bud, unless it has been laced with heroin, methamphetamine's etc etc, but that wouldn't happen, as the dealer is trying to make money not lose money.
This is the main reason I'd say no to smoking, it changes a person in so many ways, most the people I know who smoke weed regularly are lazy and unmotivated and do nothing with their life.
Although, you're right smoking weed won't kill you especially if you only do it once or twice, you're young, have a little fun but don't turn into a stoner smoking it once daily because then your life will head down the wrong path.
Most stoners are the most creative people I know. The stereotype of a weed smoker whom just sits there and does nothing and plays with themselves all day, is a blatant lie; to an extent. When I get high, I want to get up and do stuff, I want to go explore and do fun things. Some very successful people are avid smokers.. Joe rogan, Ronald Reagan, Oprah Winfrey used to smoke marijuana, Wiz khalifa, A$AP rocky, A$AP ferg, Juicy J, Project Pat, whoopi goldberg, Justin Timberlake HELL even Barack Obama has openly admitted to smoking marijuana, before. So, tell me now, that smoking marijuana can make your life go down the wrong path? That is a load and a half. My father smoked marijuana for 18 years, avidly, and he was at one stage, a very successful man, a multi millionaire.
This is a touchy subject haha
1 weed is a gate way drug
2 I think honestly you wont have to worry about #1 for the firsr few times, as weed would already be new to you and you would. already be excited/nervous to try that
Also you should do some actual internet research on the penaltys ofgetting caught, I know some places its/was a feliny offence, on the other hand where im from its legal so just google.
Weed is not a gateway drug. The only reason people say that, is because most addicts whom tell their story, all started using marijuana first and there's a strong correlation between marijuana and other drugs. According to the NIDA (National Institute of Drug Abuse) someone who smokes marijuana is 104x more likely to try other drugs such as cocaine or heroin; the problem here is correlation isn't cause. A Bikie member is probably 104x more likely to have ridden a bicycle as a child in comparison to those who don't become bikies, but that's not to say riding a 2 wheeler is a "gate way" to joining a bikie gang? It's just some people ride bikes, and those who don't are highly unlikely to join a motorcycle gang.
At the end of the day, if you want to try marijuana, go for your life. It agrees with some people and to others; it doesn't. It can worsen a case of schizophrenia, paranoia, and anxiety, but it cannot cause these things.
