I'm an adolescent, 16 to be precise, and Cannabis has aroused my curiosity. I've searched online, and have found a lot of contradicting claims cannabis, such as that it causes cancer, yet it decreases the size of tumors in the lungs. I also read that it relieves stress. I'm starting to think the mainstream view of marijuana is flawed and laughable, such as it causes cancer, yet I've seen not one reported case of medical complications caused by marijuana. My parents smoked it occasionally with a good friend of theirs. My father, has never once smoked a cigarette, but did admit to smoking weed. My mom merely puffed a cigarette once in her life, and also admitted to smoking marijuana (she also said marijuana felt much smoother than a cigarette, which comes as no surprise to me). They're both fine, I turned out fine, I have a learning disorder but it seems practically nonexistent. I like to think I make responsible choices, and if I were to get a hold of cannabis, I would use it responsibly as well. I am NOT one of those teenagers who wants to experiment with other drugs or alcohol, or smoke cigarettes. I do not want to be associated with any of it! The thing is, from what I've read, marijuana seems to have an abundance of positive affects, and has been said to be "as addictive as coffee."

It's just hard to use it responsibly when it's illegal. I have yet to look into how long cannabis stays in your system. If I were to get a drug test in the future and smoked marijuana five days before, I would be terrified and would not know what to do. I suppose it all depends on the amount. I do not work, so I can't expect a drug test anytime soon. The only time I would see it happening is at the doctor's office.

Another thing...I have no idea how to obtain marijuana. I don't know if I should trust dealers. Do they lace it with undesirable substances? I've heard things like "laced with drain cleaner to make it grow faster," and I would think of it as rubbish, but I know nothing on dealers.

Meh, I need advice on how to try it. As aforementioned, I am not willing to try anything else. I've heard the "gateway drug" theory and all, but I don't see weed as a gateway to anything but relaxation and carelessness. So, welcomes are appreciated; tips and advice especially are as well.
