yeah but weed assisted it, it assisted in his depression and slow brain softening(brain softening is exaggerated but still) besides weed especially is a selfish thing to smoke, i mean with all the usesfor it why do most people use it in the stupidest way?
don't assume people on a pokemon forum are all the same if you dont know them. I dont like these kind of things but i do like serebii(<pretty contradicting i know) Im just not the kind of person that comes on here, but ive always did things that contradict my personality
But back on topic, it still is, not because of doing weed, but because of the reason behind it.
Actually, I smoked for my first time because I wanted to know what being high felt like. I liked it, and I eventually became friends with the rest of the group because I was able to hang out with people.
Think of the thousands, no, BILLIONS, who have died. Anything could kill you these days, it's simply a matter of risk v benefit. Weed could kill but it also calms you down and in my case makes music really good (heightened senses?) You could die from driving a car and crashing but it does get you to your destination a lot quicker and will be drier than walking if it's raining. Imo, the benefits of weed outweigh the slight risk of death.
However, I've lost contact with a friend through drug use. He started using ket, and ecstasy and has changed drastically in the past year. Harder drugs I have a problem with.
Finally smoking and alcohol.... I partake in both and I enjoy both. Smoking chills me out and I will fully admit that I'm addicted. Now tobacco is one of the the only legal substances actually proven to be carcinogenic and I know smoking is stupid but I take the risk anyway. Alcohol can be just as damaging when taken to extremes but I drink in moderation.
That is all I believe

First of all the drugs are not the issue for the things a lot of you seem to be blaming them for. Here comes the science.
Hey, here's an idea - TALK TO HER. Try and get her to do something besides Weed. I dunno you provided a pretty miniscule amount of information and your post was basically OH IT MUST BE DRUGS.
Anyway. Now that I've finished dissecting all your posts I may as well actually contribute.
Think of a drug. Is it Heroin or Meth? If it is, think of another one. I've done it. Why? Because it's part of growing up, and finding out about what you like, what you dislike, and just going with the flow of things. If you get chance to try something then why the hell not try it? I've been addicted to Ketamine and smoked weed like the world was going to end, and it was AWESOME. But, I've done it. No need to keep doing it anymore, I've been there and whatnot. Looking back not a single part of me can say "Oh man why did I ever try that out?" Because that's a dumb way of looking at things.
However, I stopped. Because there's no point to it once you've done it, which is kind of my point. I've also recentley quit smoking and taken up a fitness plan, and I've curbed my drinking as well. Probably because I'm growing up more than anything else, and just want to get through this stage of my life in the best way I can.
The only advice I can really give you guys is don't knock it until you've tried it, but don't take that as me advocating trying it for the sake of it either - Do what you feel! Don't blame drugs for any problems you or your friends are facing either, because the root of the problem is the person taking the drugs and using them as an outlet for whatever problems they're being faced with. The addiction eventually adds to the initial problem and it just snowballs into a gigantic clusterfuck, but who's to blame for letting that clusterfuck happen? Oh, right, the person. Not the drugs.
So chill out, live a little. Dabble here and there if you want, then look back on all the good times you had, and be glad for them.
If anything the weed is a scapegoat for her to help deal with the depression, not the reason for the depression. Why is she depressed? Considering your location mentions Chuck Norris and based on your profile information you don't have an occupation, I'll just hedge a guess and say you're probably Seventeen. Which, unless you have older friends, would make your depressed friend around the same age. I'm sorry but depression at that age is most likely a result of attention whoring, or blowing things out of proportion more than anything else. It's teenage apathy and nothing more, and in particular at that age people are just finding themselves and are entering into the first stage of adulthood - Depression in teenagers is a big part of this transition, and it's going to last until at least 25 years of age. Trust me when I say it isn't the drugs making her depressed, she's just most likely using them as an outlet with the means of curbing her depression.
Hey, here's an idea - TALK TO HER. Try and get her to do something besides Weed. I dunno you provided a pretty miniscule amount of information and your post was basically OH IT MUST BE DRUGS.
Why is this something to be afraid of? Be proud of it. I'm the only person from the current generation of my family to be going to University - Of a possible five people. I'm proud of that. You should be proud too!
Which is also something to celebrate.
You just said yourself "I found a group of friends I could confide in." It wasn't the weed that did it, it was probably finding some actual friends, weed or not. All the same that's good!
This is probably going to be the most interesting post in this thread. You should all read it because holy fuck.
That's a nice anecdote, but statistically speaking you're wrong. Weed is more or less proven to reduce cognitive ability (permanentley or not is still debated) and increase issues relating to paranoia and schizophrenia.
Why? Just because they're doing something they enjoy doesn't mean you should be judgemental and stop seeing them. I have a friend who's a heroin addict, but I still go and see her anyway. I have friends who like smashing amphetamines, but I go out with them anyway. You don't need to do what your friends do for them to still be your friends.
You're 12, get off the internet and go outside and play in the sunshine. You have no reason to be posting here.
You know what else is like ADHD medication? ADHD medication.
You know what else calms you down and makes music really good? Spending an hour every day doing nothing but listening to it. Try it when you come home from college or whatever.
This doesn't make any sense. Stop not making sense. Read what you just wrote. Seriously.
It isn't a risk.

.....why do you think i said it could kill you. If you look in your quote, I said it could ruin your life forever. However, I was mistaken on the fact that BILLLIONS have died. I miscalculated that. If man had never discovered smoking and drugs, life would be a lot better than it is now.
sorry mate that was sarcasm.... that was just a general count of everyone who has ever died to imply that we all do some day.
also if i hadn't discovered smoking to calm myself down i would imagine that i wouldn't be posting here right now

Ok if that is what you want.
Me and her are both at the age of fifteen but I truly believe it is the drugs that are making her depressed even though she believes that smoking weed and getting high makes her real "in reality." She has already done stuff she has regretted (I am not going to say) while she was high. I have done my research, I know smoking weed is not as bad as everyone says but it CAN change your life. For better or for worse. But can you really imagine? Your friend who for years has said she would never do drugs or anything, that we would make it through high school, just call you one day all high and encouraging you to do the damned stuff as well. It hurts whenever she gets high and starts to talk to me now. I even insist that she stop and see a doctor or psychologist about it but she doesn't want to go. I know her depression is caused by family, relationships, friends, etc. But one, her "relationships" or being a **** is all caused while she was high and she regrets doing all of it. Now I'm going to stop from here before I go on a rage rant.
Either way we both live in miami and we are both 15.
I also live in Miami by the way.

Sorry said miami twice.
It is something to worry about. While your philosophy is to do everything now so you don't regret it later I am different. I hate weed, I have never tried it and will never like to try it either. I'd rather buy it then burn it right on the face on the dealer, an ironic death. Also I don't believe in that Taylor swift thing.
Either way back on topic, I realize most of you smoke weed or have done drugs. Know one thing, It affects your friendships, and it does affect brain capability and school work for some. I am not going to critisize any of you for doing it but sll I want to say is that drugs will affect the people closest to you. You may disagree, but its my philosophy and I am entitled to my own opinion.
sorry what? i've tried living the life of the sober one and it isn't for me. And i really can't tell what you've called us.... learn to star-out properly
Thats why his post is just this;
