Hi im 18 years old and i have been smoking weed for 2 an a half years now. It started off as somethin I did to become popular and before I knew it my highschool life flew by with me getting high each and every day. I gave up on my best friend and my girlfriend because of it. I have thought about quitting. This only happened once it lasted for 4 days which during those 4 days i was very iritable and eventually chose pot once again. I have turned to my parents with my problem and they tell me its just a phase they really just dont understand. i went from being a 4 sport athlete to barely getting into college. i tell myself its okay to get high as long as i dont do it every second but that just turns into me smoking it whenever it wears off. my attutide and personality seemed to go away and i look at life to be boring unless im high. I really dont know what to do and i could use some advice.
My experience it's only going to lead to heavier, worse things sending life spiraling downward. If you catch it at the age you're at now you'll have a great life.
hey! marijuana isnt in anyway shape or form addictive. its a mental thing. if i were you, i would find some things that intrest you to keep your mind busy so that you dont think about smoking pot as much. and if you hang out with people who smoke a lot of pot, then you might want to consider finding new frienRAB. i'm 21 and all thru high school, id smoke pot here and there (never really liked how it made me feel, i always wanted to sleep..so thats why i dont smoke anymore), but the people i was hanging out with
(people who i thought were my 'frienRAB') would always smoke pot, and now half of them are shooting up heroin and smoking crack because the high they got from pot wasnt a powerful enough high for them anymore. i highly doubt you want to end up like that.
just try finding stuff that intrests you and that will keep you busy. if you find a job doing what you love to do, then it hopefully wont make you quite as irritable, because you will enjoy doing it. good luck!
