Last night, I smoked weed for the first and last time. What a mistake. I'm not into drugs. The reason I did it was vanity. I did't want to drink because it alters my diet, so I figured weed was the next best thing, but it is not at all, in my opinion. I am naturally contemplative by nature, and weed manipulated and altered my perceptions to the point where I was basically overthinking. I was paranoid and self conscious among other things. Very bad. The worst part is that I feel really disappointed in myself for smoking. Seriously. I feel like I just got an F in life. Of course this is me just overthinking things again, but I just wanted to share my experience and anti-drug message with people. Next time, I'll just cheat on my diet... with a fruit smoothie or something. I guess the point of the story is- don't let vanity dictate your actions in spite of your better sense.

	2005/05/15, 07:22 PM Just got to true to yourself. Every single friend I got smokes weed.....some of them own bongs.....etc......some smoke daily or several times a day...some smoke occassionally...I can see the effects even if they can't.....I don't try to stop them from doing whatever they want...although I sometimes do say my opinion on the subject.... The reason for me is simple ....why do something which has no real benefit...for a healthy person....perhaps for a 80 yr old grandmother with glycoma ....fine....whatever helps...but for healthy young people or adults....I just don't see it.....
	2005/05/15, 07:23 PM err....just gotta be true to yourself....

You may have graded yourself an "F" on this one, but one is NOT defined and will not be judged by a single event in life (less the extreme). Suck it up, move on, and live better. -------------- _Shane I dont have to outrun the bear - just you....

Look at it this way, it was a learning experience. You tried something as a adult , in a safe surounding, and you did not enjoy the experience. You learned, and it is all over and done with. It is not like you spent the kids food money on crack!LOL Dont be so down on your self.

Beside Girls, Baseball was my 1st love then I cheated on Baseball with weed and never turned back and went into a whole F'd up direction until I cleaned-up years after! Trust me you get an A+ because you don't like it, believe me not it's that 1st high everyone falls in love with and keeps chasing after to repeat and never succeed at it so then most go to a BIGGER DRUG in time and find a new high and repeat that chase! It's HELL and you didn't get sucked in! I never met 1 person, once into weed that didn't show signs of addition! I never met too many but a few that could admit they where addicted unless it was a person already in recovery! So people me take this as a joke and laugh it off but all it takes is 1 time to love that high and your not turning back or at least for a real long time! ============ Quoting from froshman: I don't want to sound like a DARE commercial, but seeing that this board is about health and fitness and the pursuit of a wholesome lifestyle, I wanted to share my opinion on something.
