It All Adds Up...

All our lives, we've been taught that "drugs are bad" or "say no to drugs". But at the time, we never imagined ourselves actually being in that position. I've always been a straight A student and played every sport imaginable. It's amazing how something like drugs can totally take over your life. I started with hydrocodone. Then I immediately went to Ecstasy. I tried shrooms, coke, even wet. I was out of control. It was like, everything I had been taught I pushed aside and ignored it. Because of drugs, at 16 years old I've been to jail, I have a horrible reputation, my memory is warped, I know longer play sports, and I'm no longer in public schools. The only way I can fight the urge for hard substances is with weed. Sometimes I ask myself, was it all worth it? No, not at all. I miss the old me.

Well, it's all how you take it. There's abusing the product and usuing it responsibly. I was the same as you and then I had my heart broken with a cra accident and my bf leaving me for a 15 year old turned me to drugs. I think it's okay to smoke weed, only if you don't do it every day. I cut down from smoking 7 to 8 blunts a day to only smoking 1 blunt every 2 weeks. I don't crave the urges anymore to get high, I try to abide my time with other things that best suites my interest. Yes, I do go out and smoke weed every now and then, but I went from doing it like a junkie moron to doing it responsibly and it not hurt me. I make good grades in my College now and I'm one of the top students in my class and I STILL smoke weed. I just don't do it as much as I used to. You just have to learn to control yourself. As for me, I will NOT do anything Man Made. That's the worst kinda crap you'd ever deal with. I stick to only smoking weed

The most important thing you've done was realized it wasn't worth it because a lot of people don't realize that drugs aren't worth the time for wasting your life. Some people actually have to see it visually in order to know it is not worth it and I think unfortunatly you were one of those people who have been in trouble with the law or have been taken out of public school when you had outstanding grades and competed on every sport under the sun. Drugs can change that in a heartbeat. What can get me expelled from school right now is the way I haven't given up on a cocaine addict that hasn't been in trouble and if I go and tell the principal or something, it is required by law that the K9s are dragged in or more than likely the schools need to hire their attorney. The last thing I would ever want to do is get someone that is very educated and has too much good to be said behind bars. Especially since some of this has been done at the school, I could be in big trouble. I really don't care if I've been expelled for the wellbeing of an individual. I never knew that person was doing drugs until she told me and this girl plays sports and just started smoking which means if anyone else finds out, I'll be expelled and I wouldn't be in trouble legally but could get in another dialogue with the police. Never would I take any controlled substance into my own possesion or smoke the drug. If I had the pipe or something, I could be charged with posession of drug paraphernalia. All I have done with the kid was talk about the drugs. Talking about the drugs isn't illegal but taking it into possession as evidence or other matters can get you for possession.

hey honey i know exactly what you mean this year my life has gone so downhill im makin c's and b's opposed to the almost straight a's i used to make idk if im runnin hurdles anymore when you and i first started hangin out i had just got into the drug game, and i think our lives took the landslide down mainly together. especially with the ex, coke, and wet. im now hooked on weed too cause if i dont do that, then i will definitely do other things. as you already know. and now ive been to jail too. but i think if we tackle this together as best friends we can slowly make things better. its worth a s . i you.
