I was pretty afraid of weed and all drugs. I still never fit in and only had a few friends.

I eventually developed an interest in weed on my own and wanted to try it. I got some through my brothers friends and tried it. I loved it. I right away started smoking a lot. I started haning out with all the kids who smoked, and they are all really great people. I stopped trying to be like everyone else, and realized how fucking stupid I was before. I started developing my own tastes, and I could because now all my friends like me for who I am. All the people I thought were 'cool' I think are retarded.
Since I started smoking, I have not been afraid to be myself. I have gained many friends and I am happier than I was before.
Exactly! Before I was a pothead, i was pretty much a loser. Always trying to do what I thought other people would think was cool. I had no friends that were girls, let alone girlfriends, and only like 2 friends otherwise. Then I started smoking and I guess you could say I found myself. I am who I am and if you dont like that, you can fuck off because I dont care. Because of that, I am now friends with most of the high school. Now, the people I used to think were "cool" are trying to be MY friends, I have no trouble talking to girls, and I havent "lost my cool" or gotten pissed at anything since(ok maybe a few things...).

Without weed, I really dont think i would be ok with my life.
