When you are older and more responsible, I think all of those problems concerning social circles, social life, etc. will take care of themselves irregardless of cannabis use or not.

If I didn't have cannabis my life would be more boring than it already is.

Why do you think you are a much smarter person because you stopped smoking? That doesn't really make any sense. You said you were experiencing memory loss, general paranoia, and hanging out with the wrong crowd...Jesus! How much pot are you smoking at the age of 16? I mean I smoke pot everyday, all-day long and I don't get paranoid and my memory is probably only a little shoddy due to alcohol and other substances.

Do you think pot makes you stupid? I tend to disagree. Weed makes me think in a much more creative and imaginative manner.

My advice to you: Start smoking again when you don't live with your parents (unless they approve of cannabis use), when you have a steady income large enough to support yourself with, and when all of those ridiculous high school social circles disappear.

Happy trails and Happy smokin' ! :smokin:

PS I will smoke twice as much now to make up for your slack.
Good reply

I don't directly think it makes you dumb, but it has a lot of factors which contribute to it. I could'nt concentrate, low attention span, memory loss. I couldnt revise cause I'd forget it right away. EG:

French teacher: Now Jason, repeat after me. <insert french here>
Me: Uh.. could you say that again?
French Teacher: <insert french here>
Me: Um.. one more time please?

True story! And this year my grades were A's and B's, last year it was C's B's and D's.

You said you were experiencing memory loss, general paranoia, and hanging out with the wrong crowd...Jesus! How much pot are you smoking at the age of 16?
Well.. on a daily basis I guess. And by getting into the wrong crowd, I really was. One of the guys at my school dropped out recently, threatened to stab
me cause I wouldnt buy from him anymore, hes now a hardened waster who I need to avoid. He, who I spent so much of my time with?

An ex-junkie also said to me that when you first smoke pot your at the top of a hill looking down saying 'nah Ill never do as much as that'. 6 Months later, your doing it a bit more. You can't wait for the weekend cause thats when you get high, so you do it during the week. Soon enough, its daily. Then your further down the hill, still looking down at people doing harder drugs, saying 'nah ill never do that'. Cycle continues.

I think thats true, when i started school i said id only try soft drugs, soon i was doing them daily and getting drunk a lot. A few years on, what boundries would I have crossed?
naturalhigh Reviewed by naturalhigh on . Wow.. it has been a while Hey I never posted here that much, but i read constantly. That was about 10months ago,since then I've got into a whole lotta' trouble about smoking pot. I know, shit one right? I was made to quit, it was hard. I realised how empty my life was without pot, and how 100% of my social life revolved around it. I also noticed that it generally made me a very angry guy, I hated everyone. About 6 months after I stopped, I realised the road I was heading in with it, all the memory loss, general Rating: 5
