For one.. I don't believe pot is a gateway drug.

That's just old propaganda used in "the war on drugs."

I was hardly a pot smoker. I was bigger into other things. Pot was boring. Dull. It made me sleep, and that's not what I wanted. So I never did it much.

Yes, it was my first drug, but it didn't make me crave for other things. That was my own doing, my own decision, my own fault.

I had moved on to 'shrooms, then jumped into ecstasy. This was over about three years, mind you. I found tobacco to be a more pleasing drug than marijuana, anyhow. That's one that I'm still hooked on.

Shrooms took me away from the reality I didn't want to live in. Normally it was a smooth ride, calm if I wanted, more active if I preferred. Drinking did the job for a night, but it was iffy, either way. Esctasy took me further. I'd never felt so good, and never so horrible.

It's probably to account for my TMJ I've come to be diagnosed with, as well.

But with all I've done, I don't regret it. They're part of my life experiences, my life lessons. I don't, and won't do any of the ones I've done before, but I don't have that need I had before now, anyways. I don't need to run away from my life. I've found my peace, and I don't need them for fun.

Granted, I've lost friends in pulling from the "scenes", but who the hell cares. I've got who I do need in my life now, and if they can't appreciate my own decisions, then they can screw off.

I had even dealt for a while back in high school, giving people their highs. I needed the money. Once I didn't need the money, I quit. Which led to my quitting of substances.

Cigarettes are one sob to quit, though. I'm trying. That's my only substance that's been a problem.

But people that put the blame onto going into drugs from one little toke, then it all went out of hand. Some people have that lack of control. But not every case.

It's just like everything else in life. People can't take responsibility for their own actions.

Even when I dealt, I would have gum in my pocket for those who weren't smart enough to bring some for themselves. I'd scope around and make sure people had a sip of water when I saw they didn't have any. I'd hold their hair in the bathroom stalls when their stomachs couldn't handle the mixes in the pills. I'd sit outside with them in a safe place if they couldn't handle their intake, couldn't calm down, and were heading for the worse. I'd hold their hand, rub their head, tell them everything was okay, without even knowing their name.

I guess this is just my little way of saying that there are some responsible people on the other side of the road, too.

ps. I had sworn nothing through my nose or veins from the beginning. And stood by it.

And I wouldn't say I ever abused drugs. But I will admit to using them for the wrong reasons.

pss. hinicky.

Shrooms and X (MDMA) aren't really any much worse than marijuana. I've never freaked out on shrooms. Just don't take them in huge amounts or if you're not in a happy environment around music you like. And MDMA is a lot harder to OD on than other drugs. It's also not physically addictive and doesn't appear to be physically dangerous (if the user stays hydrated and uses a binky or something to reduce jaw clenching.

I've smoked pot before and don't really see the big deal about it. If I want to have a good time, I just get bamboozled.

I hate how so many people look down on you if you smoke pot. Between getting trashed and getting high, alcohol is way more harmful. Besides, alcohol is a drug; it's the drug our society has chosen to accept.

It's good to see that you could take control of your life. The thing is, in the world, there are very few as strong as you. Very few can take control of their life after they have taken that stuff. I just don't understand, why? Why would people do something that they know is bad for them? Why would they do something that people have died of (and not always from overdose)? I mean, was it to prove something? To be able to say, I didn't become an addict, so the rumors about it are false? I can't believe a person's selfesteem can drop so low as to do something because of peer presure and as for taking the edge off or feeling the ultimate high there are so many positive things in life that you can do, and I believe, the feel good feeling you get when you accomplish something on your own two feet is better than anything drugs can give you. Other girls my age, or even older, don't realize the beauty of life. They think "Oh, I'm not pretty", "My parents abuse me", "I can never get anything right", "I'm not happy" and they look for drugs to feel what they can't feel with their crappy life. There's ALWAYS something you can do to fix your life, Not happy with you outer appierence? Excercise. Parents abuse you? Theres something called the police and another thing called, an adoption program. Never get anything right? Keep trying! Not happy? Try to find happines is a religion or something. Life is hard, you can't look for shortcuts in life like drugs, because they never work. So many wrongs will never make a right.

And my rant is over. Have a good day. =D

I really think that Tobacoo and Pot should switch places you know? However, keep Pot pure, don't put those bull crap chemicals in it, unless it makes it healthier for you, other than, leave it be. I don't do pot, only done it once.
