I think you guys are being too hard on the kid...when you've been smoking a long time it's easy to forget how seriously people take the ganj and that it CAN ruin your life because of those people. If you take your GED (which is totally equivalent, don't let anybody at the school convince you otherwise), you will be able to get a job just fine if u have the skills. it's not a very hard test from what i know and you could probably take it right now if ur smart.
