the one thing that scares me about pot

I was talking to this guy at my Intensive out patient program and he was like u gotta quit that pot man. I asked him why and he said because it doesn't lead to anything. Then he talked about his two stoner friends and said they had bad jobs and were depressed. Then he said no one that he's seen that smokes pot has led up to anything.

 

He was like "well do you wanna end up being a pizza delivery guy?"

 

haha thats funny cause a while back i was delivering pizza and thought that it was pretty funny and stereotypical. I don't really think pot leads to these things, I think that people that are already gonna be depressed and unmotivated are drawn to smoking weed. But I know if you are like that, and you do stop, things can definitely turn around for you. or you could become an alcoholic.

 

I know exactly what u mean by people who are already unmotivated and depressed are drawn to pot. I was gna explain that but I didn't know how to word it. Another thing they said was that if u get arrested u lose ur chances for a good job and that many jobs drug test as it is. Also they were like u WILL get arrested again and I was like there is a chance. I felt like saying I knew some people who only got arrested once, which I do know some I think...

 

If you're actually depressed, there are a lot stronger drugs out there that you can take (and people do take) to help cope. Pot? That's a fucking joke.

 

Think about how many people you know that smokes the pot. heaps right? Almost everyone I know smokes or has smoked pot. Then I think about What adults or older people did when they teenagers/young adults. They probably smoked lots of pot too.
see what im getting at?

 

i know millionaires who smoke frequently

it's all about your drive and passion to succeed.

 

Man, the pot doesn't make you a loser. You make you a loser.

 

Just don't smoke it all the time dude. Save it for special occasions.

 

ZING!

but so true, though. the only thing these Intensive out patient program people are doing to you is putting these ideas in your head. YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK. Your emotions are slaves to your thoughts and you are a slave to your emotions. by only smoking weed in such a way that keeps it in a positive light you will only have positive experiences with it.

you need to decide for yourself how you will see weed.

 

I was just thinking about this today. If you don't let it happen then it won't. This is done by like studying hard when you need to and then smoking for example. You have to prioratize. But then another thing is that a conviction or drug tests could prevent u from getting some good jobs. Sry If I sound kinds wierd I have to write from my iPod.

 

What do you want to be in life???
Who says being a pizza delivery guy is such a fuckin' bad thing.
Live your life.
Let other people live theirs.

 

^^^what he said.

define what a good job is. everyone has their own definition. find out what makes you happy. it could be a truck driver, it could be a doctor, whatever. doesn't matter. don't see anything as a means to an end. just be here now.

 

Personally I agree with some of these statements. Specific types of people tend to gravatate to using weed. It is what perpetuates the perception of people about weed. On the other hand, I think more people smoke weed than you realize. I work in an industry with the higest amount of people who drink and use drugs so to me it's just something we do, but not all of us.

I make a very good living. It's all about your ambition. If you want to be this then be that, it's all up to you.

 

Yea know. When the guy said they didn't have good jobs I was like "well have u asked them if their happy?"

I agree will all ur statements specially the live your life and be happy one. (and also let others live theirs)

 

I make up to $40 an hour as a delivery boy... thats damn good money for a part time job while I'm in school.

 

Dayum nice lol. I hate it when they ask me what pot leads to cause they say it leads to nothing and I didn't know what to say to that. They almost started to make me think badly of pot =[

 

nah don't listen to these guys. look at some of the people who smoke. fucking steve jobs was high as shit when he designed the first apple computer. the best thing about cannabis is the creativity it can bring out in one.

 

I think its a nature of the system some people get caught up in. However if you push your minds limits and not put it to waste like some do you can lead up to alot. However you really do have to becareful with the law. Getting a job sucks if you get multiple pot arrests...

 

blame is much easier to give than receive.

saying 'pot fucked me up' is so much easier to tell yourself than the truth, 'i fucked me up'.

but it's ok, sometimes people aren't ready to admit these things to themselves, and it's usually not your place to decide when that time is. Smile and nod
