Hey everyone i have a question for everyone, if you could just go back into time where you first held that MJ to your mouth...would you all have made the same decision to smoke? I personally love weed and if i had weed all the time..lets just say i would be high all day everyday. Although i must say weed has a very strong effect on me and i havent yet mastered overcoming mental addicitions of cannabis. I always think about weed and save up my lunch money and allowence all week to buy a few grams on the weekends. Its like weed is my life. But hey what can ya do eh? High Till I die Smoke Till I Croak. But anyways What would you guys decide? Sad to report i wouldnt..well i wouldnt at this age i started. I wish i could decide to of started when I was older and can afford it.
Hey, that's my motto, theif. lol But anyway, if I could start all over again, I would definitely still make the decision to smoke. I may not spend as much money on weed as I did, because I could've been a wealthy son of a bitch if I saved even half of the money I spent on weed. I mean, we're talking thousands upon thousands of dollars. But yeah, High till I die, smoke till I croak. lol
well for me the only reason i regret starting it was simply coz it lead me to other drugs. i know many of you dont believe in the gateway theory but i do because i went that route. however i dont regret using weed. weed showed me i dont need other drugs.
if youve yet to master it.. why not try? if you want to, you can. takes effort. it was shit for me.. godamn shit.. but once you get over the hurdle, with not just abstinence but total mindset... then it becomes easy.. and in fact good. its better, imo, to enjoy both weed and no weed, and while i smoke it all the time when ive got it, ive got absolutely no problem going without it.. something that once would have had me searching high and low for spare change and a few extra bucks
I dont think weed is the problem, I think its the person using it. You are very very young, it took me years and years to find the right balance, when to get high and when not to. The major issue I had was using weed to mask over problems instead of dealing with them. It still takes a huge amount of effort but its a concious descision I have to make and a question I need to ask myself everytime I smoke. Am I doing it to relax and unwind or am I trying to block something out. The latter is NOT healthy and will lead you to all sorts of problems in the future. I have been smoking on and off for 17 years, when I was a stupid teenager (I was very fucking stupid believe me) I would try anything and everything that I could get my hands on, luckily,through a mixture of fate, circumstance and plain old growing up I ditched the shit that was doing me no good at all (including alcohol) and just stuck with weed. I now live in totally harmony with my friend the herb, unlike my brother, who started smoking at the same age as me but didnt stop himself in time from following the path of destruction. He eventually progressed from weed to lsd to coke and finally heroin. He is 38 now and has been a full blown addict for 24 years. I have been through countless attemtps with him to get clean and none have been succesful. He beats the physical addiction quite quickly, usually in about 3 weeks or so, but then he hasnt lived in reality for 24 years and just cant cope with life, and issues that were never dealt with 20 years ago are still there. So, he starts using again. He cant sustain this, he is totally fucked, what a waste of a beautiful life and talent. I expect him to be dead before the years is out. And there is NOTHING I can do to prevent it. But there you have it, 2 people, with the same lifestyle, same friends and same background. One goes one way and one goes the other. Weed has had a very positive effect on me and a very negative one on him. I was better able to deal with it than he was and I was more in control. If it hadnt been weed or heroin then it would have been alcohol or something else. But the long and short of the story is this - The weed isnt at fault for his situation, he is. We all have to take responsibility for our own lives.
I would have smoked, but i would have never gone to denny's afterwards with my parents, that was weird.
I would And the gateway theory never made sense to me...because then isn't alcohol a gateway drug too? Because teens that drink are something like 90% more likely to smoke than kids that don't drink... Which makes sense cause I can name 9 kids that drink and smoke for every 1 that smokes but doesn't drink (and vica versa)
Right now, the only thing I worry about is getting a job and an education. Smoking isnt affecting any of this, so I stand by my magical plant in its defense. Smoking is great to pass the time, it relaxes me and it's fun to be baked even doing stupid shit. It helps my back pain and migranes so that's cool, too. I would still smoke if given the choice.
I wouldn't even trade weed for pussy-on-demand, as pathetic as it sounds. I AM a pothead, through and through.
Given the opportunity to go back, knowing what I know now, I wouldn't have smoked that first time, I would wait untill much later. Not to say that I don't enjoy getting high, drugs have never caused any problems for me, but it's just that I've been smoking and doing drugs in general for so long now, it seems like I've lost or forgotten all my other interests. I'm trying to cut back my drugs use, but I just get so bored when I'm sober. I don't have any real hobbies, there's nothing I do on regular basis other than get high. I'm not really sure what I did for fun before I started smoking, but I don't think was bored this often. So there you have it kids, that's why drugs are bad, if you use drugs on a regualr basis, slowly but surely you'll drop all your other interests. After a while you'll realize what's happened, and try to go back to your other interests, only to find that everything seems dull compared to getting high. I think drugs can be a wonderful thing, but they should not be used untill the mind is finished developing, untill interests are set in, too engrained to be dropped. Only then will drug use truely enhance life.
