I'm not gonna sit here and lecture you all about how drugs are bad, and they lead to bad things and blah blah blah. (the truth is they can be, and they do) Instead I'd like to share my personal experiences with them, with you.
I started out just smoking a little pot to look cool with my friends. But then I started to like it WAY too much. It got to the point where I was selling my own smokes, using my lunch money, cleaning peoples rooms for more money, and wasting my whole allowance, on pot. I'd spend between $50-70 (canadian) a WEEK on it. I finally made a promise to my mom to cut back on it. I had gone 5 months being stoned everyday. It was one of the hardest things I've done, but i got through it. I still smoke a joint now and then with friends to relax and have a good time. But I've [romised to both myself, and my family that I will never go back to where I was. It go to the point where I was using it as an escape from the stress and pressures in my life. If I got frustrated with the smallest thing, I'd resort to smokin' more pot. Honestly, I miss the high, but I've now realized it wasn't worth it.
Anyways, enough about ME. One of my friends mom was an acoholic. I've also known people who were addicted to some very harsh and very serious drugs. I've seen how scary it can be when they don't have the drugs and the alcohol. I've seen people almost lose their lives because of their own, or someone elses, addiction. I've seen the good, the high, the lovey dovey stuff it does to people. But I've also seen a mother treat her kids like terrorists, a son almost murder his mother, a friend almost die from an overdose, and more.
Drugs can be VERY scary. If you are using them, or are planning to, I do believe that it IS your choice. Just make sure that next time you spark up, you think about the consequences. Make sure that you don't let it get out of hand. And know when to ask for help.
