Im a freshman, and so far my life is being torn down faster then ever before. Since i was just a pint in middle school, iv listened to my family about what drugs do. Also took advice from my sister who was a huge druggie back then. And how she regrets it. So iv been brought up that these are actually harmful to sombody.

For years now, iv met tons of people. Im a friend to everyone who will be a friend back to me. And sadly, all of these so called friends have changed for the worse. Later on when i was in middle school, i started becoming friends with alot of people. The people who chill at home every night to a nice game on xboxlive, those who play sports and are really active, the kids that would have noone to talk to. Iv had friends from all. Though i tried my best to stay away from the huge crowd who would spend there lunch money on crack.

After your with somone and are there for eachother for a while, they become more impoartant. Time goes, and suddenly, i dont have a weekend to look forward to with my friends like i did. Everyweekend we would have the greatest time. But to go back to what i was saying.. As i got older, every single one of my friends have let me down. I still remember how me and my friend made a promise to never get messed up. And he told me he was going to smoke with some kids in the garage. I didnt want him to do it. I new this wasnt going to be a one time thing. He told me he would do it once and see what its like, and thats all. As much as i would like to say i was wrong, i wasnt.

Since then, two best buds hardy ever talked again. You know i thought, the pot or weed couldnt have changed him. But it helped. Here, some kid tries it, gets hooked and goes on to somthing new. And, as much as i would like to think this has only happened to one friend of mine. Really, through all of those people i have met i wouldnt even try to find somone who wasnt the same. I dont know if this is just high school. Or if its just my luck for being in a drugged up town. Thats what i would like to think. From having two parents in two different states, its happened at both. This same thing that im going through.

What happened to just being a kid, having fun, being who you are? When people tell me pot is not harmful, you dont even know how i feel. Whether pot to sombody isnt harmful, getting brought into a group like that, i would bet not many come out ecstacy or shroom free. Even from the coolest, kindest friends who told me "Its not going to change me" have turned into mere ghosts, or half dead as they used to be. Personailtywise, from what i have seen in them, i wouldnt be abe to tell its them if i wouldnt have known what they did. These kids ditch me every weekend for smoke sessions. These kids get caught for the crap they do, and i see how it effects there whole family. More importantly to me, how it has effected my friendships over and over again.

Just seeing how my friends who were the coolest, have all turned to pot and the outcome has never been good. Iv even noticed how much they would lie to me. They would threaten me that if i was to ever let out the truth they would jump me. How much i dont fit in with practically nobody now. Everywhere i go these fake kids i am ashamed to even look at, just keep doing it. And the more time goes on things are getting worse. Has anyone ever been so surrounded by pot and druggs? Recently, this has happened for what, the 30th time, same situation, same everything. Heck, even my own brother screwed up and doesnt even act like the same brother i new.

It effects me so much. I dont expect everyone to understand, but i have seen a difference in my friends from when they were innocent to getting addicted to pot. You know, maybe to some people, its just some no problem thing. But it can change people. Maybe for some, it doesnt. But god, you dont know untill you've lost everyfriend you had left to drugs. Whatever people tell me, i think even weed can change somone dramitically, not for the good. No matter what. After one night of just a couple hits, slowly they change. I dont see what else could cause such a coincidence. I DO though still have a friend who smokes. But even the way i used to see him has vanished, and has been replaced with some ghost image of himself.

Im scared to even talk to people at school now. Its just going to keep happening.

I want to leave this crap hole.

I'm sorry to hear that you're becoming distant from your friends. Unfortunately it's basically the same way all over the country. It's somehow become part of teen culture to smoke pot and disengage from the world. The only thing I can really say is to find the people that still find more meaning in their lives. There are still plenty of people who don't sit around smoking pot all day.

Perhaps you're being ignorant about the situation? Perhaps they weren't really your friends in the first place. Pot isn't the problem.

Its not the pot man its your so called "friends". I've been smoking for 10 years and I still have a lot of friends that don't smoke and they've told me I've actually become a lot more down to earth since I started smoking. Which I really don't understand because I've always been laid back but anyways. Just find some friends that don't do it or try to reconcile with them. It neither of that works I don't what to tell you other than I'm sorry man.

I know lots of people who use pot and ARE NOT screwed up. I'm one of them. Your experience isn't universal. In fact, it's probably not even true. Just another weed hater who wants to make it look bad.

Well then your friends are asses. Plain and simple. Find some other peeps to hang out with. It sounds like they think their better than you because they smoke now. If thats the case then you don't want anything to do with them.

Its changed them because they are young and immature.
All they want to do is get high all the time, which is not cool
or productive in any way. They don't wan't to hang out with
you because you don't do it, and thats all they think about.
I myself smoke pot, but I honestly think you need to get
some new "friends". People like that are everywhere, but
the 13-18 pothead scene is just overflowing with those little losers.
Smokers over the age of 20 think those kids are lame.
In 5 years they will realize that they were lame...

Like I said, find some new friends, friends that don't smoke.
Birds of a feather flock together, and if you don't smoke
you are probably not going to fit in with the potheads.
Especially in HS, because kids now adays are so into cliques
and categorizing everyone, even potheads.

Pot can lure people into alot of things. Other drugs, which can be extremely harmful.

Now who has really "changed" you or them?.. They, while growing up have decided to try something new (for better or worse)... Now you as a supposed friend have decided that since your friends have tried something that you disapprove of so much, that you are disregarding their choice and their existence's validity.. Talk to them about it, or don't assume yourself to be a friend. Then come to your own personal conclusion not just succumbing to OT's average reply. What do you think? Don't sell your own brain short, c'mon now.. It should be strong if it's drug free right? Are your friends now, not worth your time now that they have a differing view on a very petty meaningless issue? What happened to loyalty?

I dont want to hang out with a crowd who smoke all day to make themselves happier. Pot can actually make you MORE depressed causing you to need more of it. MOST crowds and groups that smoke pot, eventually try other drugs.

I dont need some weed to feel better. More importantly, i dont want to be around people using meth or somthing. Iv been there and i dont want to go back.

Nothing. The part I take issue with is the part where he said "pot ruined my teenage life". I understand that his friends have changed a good bit once they've become teenagers. But that's how life goes. It's a simple as that. It's no use blaming pot. If it wasn't pot - it'd certainly be something else. Imetamonster, you simply need to move on.

The "gateway drug" is a myth from the War on Drugs '90's propaganda. If pot was a gateway drug, there would be more crack, heroin, cocaine and meth users out there than pot smokers.

Nobody needs pot. It's not addictive. It's like junk food. It might be difficult to understand, but pot can turn a decent afternoon into a great one. You don't have to smoke it all the time. Kids who do and suffer due to it brought it upon themselves. It's the person. Not the drug. My friend has been smoking marijuana with me for years. His GPA? 4.0. Our ambitions? Same as they have always been.

At the time it makes you feel great. In the long run it clogs up ways for the endorphines to go. Which doesnt do much good but makes you more depressed

Seriously. And by that logic Alcohol is the gateway drug, cause in my experiences alcohol experimentation is far previous to marijuana experimentation.

I've smoked for 10 years and everytime I smoked it was because I wanted to smoke not to be more depressed.


Word. Being someone not familar to the drug scene, alot of stuff
he said really stuck out and just seemed like a lie.
Especially the meth and kids using lunch money to buy crack.
C'mon, how many 13 year olds do Meth and Crack?
Sounds like TC is seeking E-Attention IMO.
