    Marijuana addiction
    Well I'm 16 years, I'm fairly healthy, and I'm doing pretty well in school, I have maintained my regular 70 average. But I started smoking weed last year, and for a while it was once a month, then it was every 2 weeks, then once a week and rolled into every day. I was going through a lot of trouble. My parents began to reject me, my girlfriend began to cut herself and yell at me, and we broke up. My friends began arguing amongst each other and kind of drifted, and I became anti-social. Then upon realizing how much I was smoking and the problems I was facing I decided enough was enough. So I began to quit... first it failed. I didn't smoke for a day then went out to buy. The second time I was clean for a week, then did it on the weekend... but the third time... well it was like 3 months ago. Can you tell me if I was addicted (mentally of course, I hate when people explain you can't get phiscally addicted, I know. I research everything risky I do) But now I'm clean and I do it every now and again, is it going to interfere again. (btw I have become more social, and have many many new friends and possibly a new girlfriend) Please help.

    Well, you yourself have seen the decline in your behavior when you are doing marijuana. My advice to you is to wait until you get older and are out of school to fool around with this drug if you MUST fool around with it. When you are growing up and studying in school it is not a good idea to put this chemical handicap on your brain. Reality is too much fun to go and deaden it with drugs of any kind whether it be alcohol, weed, pills, etc. I am glad you could see for yourself just how impaired you get socially and mentally using drugs.

    Remember D.A.R.E. stands for Drugs Are Really Expensive in more ways than you know.

    Thanks man. Yeah I noticed that when I got home from work and school, I just needed that escape from a bunch of bull I was going through. I was so depressed, I nearly killed myself, but the whole time I was concerned that maybe marijuana was filtering my judgement, telling me that it was the only thing keeping me together and happy... in a way it was keeping me together by giving me my alone time, but it was secluding me from social relations which I realized would only improve my life. So I did what I needed, and I thank you for your concern. Its very hard for me to take heed of warnings because both my parents are a little neglectfull and finding myself saying HI with no answer... and they tend to drink... but you know, I've also discovered how independent I am, finding my own way around all the hurt, and helping my own problems, solving my school problems, and I just find thatif I had the chance and the money that I could leave right now and be fine.

    Also, once I discovered what I really wanted to do with my life, it made me incredibly happy, even the friends I have left have said it... I want to join the Canadian Forces, and become a Combat Engineer. I want to show people that I have an opinion, and it is that there should not be any racism, bigitry, terrorism, and all sorts of things. I want people to know that I am willing to put my chest in front of anything, just for the kids that will grow up not even knowing what people have done for them, so that they can live better lives. (by the looks of how much type, I think the thingi needed most was someone to talk to)
