Cannabis
I am a teenager, and have suffered from depression and other mental illnesses for most of my life. I go to an affluent school where drugs are pretty easily obtainable. Most of my friends have at least expiremented with some drugs.
I am a senior now, and I find that smoking pot just helps me escape. I know that I would be in a ** load of trouble if I ever got caught, but it feels so good to just let go and get buzzed.
I am an A student and an athlete, so nobody even suspects me of getting high because I am a ‘good girl who would never do that’. I am not proud of myself, but at the same time, I need this. I don’t do other stuff, I am responsible about when and where I smoke, and I don’t drive when high.
If you're a senior, you're old enough to know that dope isn't the answer to your problems. It's just a new problem.
Yeah, wait until you're 21 and become an alcoholic like everyone else.
Please stop being a druggie.
You should not become a doper. Dopers are lazy and loopy and dirty and have bad health and hygiene, and they have really bad job prospects (nobody wants to hire a doper).
This xo
Idiot .
Don't accept the marketing angles for this drug: its use is not without consequences, and you are already seeing them and feeling them, though you may not yet recognize them as consequences. You are becoming dependent on the results, if not the substance itself. While it's good that you are setting limits on its use, that just means that you realize that there's a potential problem looming on your horizon. There are other ways to deal with "depression and other mental illnesses", at least some of which involve no drugs. Explore those. Drop the weed. Take my word for it: cannabis is not the risk-free panacea our culture wants you to believe it is.
