Listen to ordinary guy. Diebetes is nothing to mess around with. I am diebetic and diebetes, high cholesterol, and heart disease run hand in hand. I had a heart attack in 2002 and almost died because I ignored my doctor and didn't take care of myself like I should. Go take the test. So what if they find a little pot in your system, but more than likely they won't unless your mom asked them to. Don't worry about it. If they do and she finds out it is not the end of he world.
"i could have diebeties cause she sees me eating too many sweets (rolls eyes)"-You know-I am truly not trying to be funny, but could it be possible that you just have the munchies from smoking weed?
Seriously.
They also say things like "Oh I can quit anytime, I just don't want to" or "An addiction is what my friend is doing....see how much worse xxx is - I am not that bad."
I agree. The worst rationalization I ever saw was a friend's neighbor. He would pull the rum and coke out at 11:55 in the morning, and proceed to watch the clock -- because, after all, "You're only an alcoholic if you have to drink before noon."
Even if one only smokes periodically, the thought likely surfaces from time to time. To say you don't keep possession of it is hardly a sound argument either, in most ways -- otherwise, why not just leave to them what is theirs, and they are obviously in greater need of. Periodic usage doesn't constitute a strong argument for peer pressure either.
I used to have many friends who used. They were never comfortable with the fact that I didn't, and when they found company who did, they no longer had much use for me.
Well, the thing about addiction is that occasional use doesn't necessarily imply addiction since there are recreational users (I've even see cigarette smoking done that way - blew my mind) nor does frequent or heavy use indicate addiction either since there are heavy users who are still not addicted. The hitch here is that there are addicts who occasionally use -- I know because I was one of them. As Tal so aptly pointed to, while I could stop for a time, I could not stay stopped even in the face of harm happening and therein lies one of the main differences: the non-addict will modify their behavior to stop the harm and the addict will modify their definition of harm to continue the behavior, as amazing as that is.
Which is why I asked Brownsugar those questions, and in all sincerity too.
I agree. Though I think the two do as well, sometimes tend to blend over time -- something of a slippery slope, so to speak. I spent twelve years addicted to cigarettes, and they nearly killed me before I quit.
At first, I only smoked during school hours, never having one at home. Then it was only at school and while at friends' houses. Pretty soon I was a full-time smoker.
I was able to quit for a month or two at times, long enough to generally stop craving them. And yet, when things got stressful, I would start again.
A few years after quitting, while in college, I would often ask for someone for one between classes. Soon, I had gone from one or two, to five or more a day. I hadn't quite resumed the habit, but I was dangerously close.
A while back I was asked to light a cigarette for someone. I was surprised that, though unnecessary, without even thinking about it, I inhaled. Though we may or may not be addicted, and though we may recover or quit, I think there are always some traces within our mindstreams, however unconscious.
It doesn't matter if you only smoke a little bit, you still are doing something illegal and immoral. You have an addiction to a lethal drug. This is not okay. If you die tomorrow, What would your mother think?

Yes, pot is illegal. Whether smoking it is immoral is a matter of opinion. Personally, I don't think so. It is not lethal. There is a growing body of evidence that it has theraputic value, but there is still room for scientific debate and a need for more research. It is not physically (biochemically) addictive, though excessive use of it would fit within some definitions of addiction. You may believe that it's immoral and unwise, but please don't propogate misinformation.
