pot using junkies? I think anything that takes you away from doing your job, living your life, relating to other people is a bad thing

Pot using junkies? Not living your life? This sounds like a rehash of the PSA they repeatedly play at school.


I love marijuana. I used to smoke marijuana (about twice a week for half a year) until six of my friends were expelled for admitting to smoking it. I also know that were I caught by my dad (my mum found my weed and agreed not to tell him on the condition I never smoked again) he'd literally beat me.
I know what it's like trying to smoke weed as a teenager. People constantly accuse you of having a problem; saying you're addicted and will lose your friends. Even though I often didn't smoke for two weeks at a time just because I didn't feel like it, and I often found Marijuana quite a successful social lubricant.
I'd say that smoking weed while you're still 16 (so am I) isn't worth losing the trust of your parents and getting in trouble with the police. The other part of me thinks: god damn these backward laws that legalize two of the most dangerous drugs but imprison the users of a mild relaxant..

When I turn 18 Zagubadu, I hope I can join you for a delicious spliff..

Most of my friends who smoked pot, now has a minimal wage work, they never entered any university and it's hard to talk with them, but I guess I can agree that usually in my country people smoke pot being drunk, which is really a big minuses, another minus is that because marijuana is illegal, you don't know what kind of product you're buying, usually it can be bad, I heard that a lot of whom wanting to get more money in my country just mix it with simple cannabis and later soak it in acetone and when it gets dry, they sell it, so practically you get a lot of acetone to your body, you get "high" because it's a mixture, but from acetone in some time you might have serious problems, usually this kind of weed makes you vomit and not high..

So someone said, that if it would be legal, it could be with more quality, I mean pot.. But when people are drunk, they usually can't drive or someone stops them, but it's quite hard to check if a person is high on the wheel, I saw a lot of drivers who don't drink alcohol, as they usually tested with alcohol testers, but lets say two drivers driving a bus to a foreign country for 18 hours, they change and one of them smokes pot, sometimes a truck driver driving for hundreds of kilometers smokes pot, usually they have a limit, but simple car drivers could really damage a lot, the legalizing of marijuana depends on the people, if they're smart or not and will they be stupid enough to do something bad to the society.

Even alcohol in my country, you can get some good beer, and some who knows if that is beer, but 4 times cheaper and most of people drink cheaper beer and in the morning has a terrible headache

One guy told me, if you drink beer or smoke pot, but train your brain, you won't get eventually stupid, I guess reading is one of the methods to train your brain

To end, I also would like to say that I tried pot and drink alcohol with friends, but I quite smoking regular cigarettes and pot for over 3 years now and am much happier as my lungs feel very well. I can breath normally and don't have a stinky mouth
