Question: Is it okay to smoke pot if I am a minor?

There are some defensible reasons to try to dissuade you from smokin' dope at thirteen.

I've known some early teenage dopers, mainly because I was once a teen---I was far too timid to be one of them, then. I didn't take tea until I was in my late teens. They mostly came out of it only slightly stupid. And I mean that the 'sharp edge' of thought was in them blunted. That loss---palpable---mattered more in some cases than it did in others.

Even in my late teens, I knew that dope, for me, was a false step. It used up hours in empty euphoria---when I couldn't AFFORD to take a vacation from the routines of living. So I quit.

My brother didn't, and I have to say that he erred hugely.

But it's your question, so all I'm gonna do here is suggest that you can afford to postpone your first doobie for a while. Years wouldn't hurt.

Question: Can you describe your home life in a limerick and a haiku?
