Taking a Break from Drugs

PreStory in Gray, important in black.

Well, as a few of you knew (and some assumed, with my signature and all), I enjoy smoking a little pot here and there. I recently took a month off from smoking, just for the hell of it. On Friday, it was exactly a month so I decided to have a bit of fun (I smoked starting at school, ending around 3ish at night - about four times).

I chilled with some buddies, and they were talking about how crazy this kid John is, and how his parents dont care at all - and their new friend 'Angel'. They invited me to smoke with them on Saturday (some purple haze).

So its Friday night around 9:00, I meet them up at TGI Fridays. We sit down in the bar, and we all talk for a bit. They smoke a few cigs and we head off to Johns house. As we get there, the neiborhood is very shitty.

We get in, and the house (with the parents walking around normally) reeks of pot. I meet him, and we begin smoking. Together (the 5 of us), had about 5~ grams of chronic. So we smoked in a blunt, then in a pipe. THEN he took his bong out and I cleared off a gram by myself in two huge hits. Now we are all just sitting there, stoned, laughing and this 'Angel kid' (he is a gang member), starts joking around with me about how he wants my hat.

Something happens in my mind, and I freak. I start getting afraid, parinoid, and disgusted in myself. The kids life was fucked up - he had nothing. His parents were getting evicted. The house was in shambles. This is not the effects of smoking pot - it was laced with crack. I couldnt see straight, I was sweating, freaked out. I thought about my life, and this kids life, and his dads life. I dont want that.

I was deathly afraid of this kid (for good reason, he had a gun, was a gang member, was high, and wanted my hat). This was an experience that changed my life.

I talked with my buddy alone, explained to him the situation and said that I could not drive - so him and my other buddy followed me home, dropped my car off near my house. I sat in my car for an hour waiting for my brother, passed out and awoke.

Im done for a few months, or even longer. This was one of the worst experiences of my life.

Thats some hard shit man. I dunno if it was crack or not though. Crack smells TERRIBLE, you could easily smell that it wasnt jsut weed in there. Maybe you had something diff like PCP or soemthing.

Yeah, ive never smoked n e thing, and im not sure i want to either... Better off not getting started, therefore i cant get addicted to it...

Man, i wouldnt wanna freak like that.

Sad story. Poor taco. If you didn't smoke in the first place you would have never gotten into a situation like that. But, it must have been scary, glad you still have your hat and your life. Lol.

:)

drugs fuck u up

my girlfreind used to smoke weed and did meth a little too.

I finally got her to stop useing after an experiance that was similar...

she woke up in a house she'd never been in, was absolutly filthy, and had people passed out all over the place and didnt recognize anyone that was there.

She totally flipped out and called me on the phone in hysterics and such...

anyway, after i finally got her calm enough to find street name sign and the address on the house, i went and picked her up.

Hehe, personally i'm against the use of drugs (except alcohol, i do drink on occasion) but, drugs can fuck ya up, even when your not doin' nothing too serious.

i'm not one to judge about it though, if you do it its yer own thing and i dont care, hehe, if mary jane is yer thing power to ya, cuz lord knows i wouldn't make it thru the week with out my vodka.

anyway, just thought i'd throw my 2cents in there.

Taco, I've had a few times like that. Scariest moments of my life. I started to find that the bad times outweighed the good by a lot. So now I only smoke with my two best friends.

Thank god that you're still alive. I just can't imagine what experience did you lived through.

My mother is the reason why I don't smoke. She smoked when she was pregnant. It seems I didn't liked it. Today I am allergic to it.

Wow , that's definately not good, did he get annoyed at all when you didn't give him your hat? Or did you O.o . Man i'd hate to've felt bad like that... Just hope it doesn't happen to me in the near future .. or at all...


P.S: I think i invented a word to've = to have .. anyone heard it before?

That sux man, same shit used to happen to me when I smoke at the park all the time.. I used to think every damn car that passes by was a cop. Then one time these chicano's were fighting at the park while we were smoking and then like 1 hour later, police gang unit shows up (we had already moved to the benches sitting there and there was like 15 people, most with weed). So everyone freaks out and starts running in all directions....it was pretty funny.

Oh yeah another moment was when I got kicked out of school for weed. I had smoked like 7 bowls of chronic, I didn't want to get too fucked up for school but I went to my computer class late and my teacher (who I forgot the name because I had only been to the school for liike 3 weeks) she starts asking me all these questions. But she caught me when she asked "Where were you?". I was like ...."Uhh, across the street". Then she says "You know you're not suppose to leave school"..and I'm like "Uhh, I was at the store" .

Then I just go back to my computer and start doing all king of shit and laughing at the mouse. Then I heard the teacher was on the phone saying "I think we have a guy here with marijuana". I was paranoid for a second, then I was like, "Nah, it's probably just the weed."

So security comes in takes me to the princible, blah blah, then he was like "Wheres the pot at?" I'm like, what pot? I start digging in my pockets about to throw it out of his window ('cause it was open') but the fucking security grabs me and takes it'...blah blah i get expelled.

I do fucking 19 hours of community at some old bitches place "ugh".

Then I go back to my old school for like 2 months then get kicked out again for having a fucking pipe with resin in it :(...

gheness. Now I sit here at work posting at aforum, LOL.

I got 5 days out of school suspension for comming in school drunk.

Yeah it's ghey, I used mix soda with some christian brothers and the bitches at school would be like, "ooh, i smell alcohol".

Haha lol ,, no it's probably just weed. Lol !

Well, when I posted this I was still kinda parinoid. Since that day I have re-revaluated the situation. I'm still going to smoke - and I have talked to many people and they all had similar experiences.

I just can't smoke that much - I never knew high doses led to severe parinoia. Also Danny - Weed is Hypoallergtic (sp*) - so you cant get allergic to it (but you can to smoke in general).

i smoke a lot of weed, and i do get paranoid sometimes, but the way you lot seem to make out you get so paranoid arent you thinking maybe smoking isnt gona do you any favours, i personally dont think smoking cannabis can cause many problems... As long as you keep it under control and dont depend on it all the time when things get tough...

but then again, thats my opinion

But it's easy to say it... then you get addicted. ( Even though i've never touched drugs... being 14 and all )

You cannot get addicted to Weed, its a non-addictive drug.

I was talking about cannabis....

When they tell you in school that it's addicting they mean this: When you smoke it alot and then lets say one day you say "I'm not gonna smoke today". But after a little while you would be like...man this would be alot better if I was high, and thats mainly the only addition to it, just in your brain thinking you need it. Not like cigarettes, and it's goddamn body addiction...sometimes I run out of cigarettes then get pissed 'cause I need teh nicotine...But I'm tryin to quit.

I feel sorry for your bad experience that you had. But like many people says, drugs arent good for your body and you will sooner or later be around poor circles.
I know about what happens or atleast knew what happens to the human body when it are exposed to drugs. For an example weed are getting to your brain first and destroy it slowly but it destroy it. I dont remember the details.

But hell its the same with alcohol it destroys your body. But that hasnt stopped me from drinking from time to time.
But I most likely never drink, becuase Im usualy poor ( well Im uninployed for the moment so :lol: :lol: ) or I dont have anyone to drink with. I never drink alot of alcohol when Im alone. Maby a beer or two when I watch some movie or something.

But then again I can also so the difference between me and other persons :P.
Most people usualy misstakes me for being around two years younger then what Iam.

Edit: I just wanted to tell that I neither smoke, take drugs or taking snuff.
The only bad thing I take is alcohol when I can afford it or are with friends :lol: .

Exactly...I only usually smoke or drink on my chillin' time...You know. Get home from work, got nothing to do...So I watch a movie and smoke mah blunt and save the other half for tomorrow :D.

I could go on for hours why I'd rather smoke over drinking. Most things they tell you in school (atleast the early years) is that pot is really bad for you. After imprinting this is many peoples heads, many people move directly to alcohol, which is actually much more harmful (and sucky):

• Alcohol is addictive, especially for younger people
• People tend to get agressive (bar fights, etc)
• Hangovers, ugg!
• Ultra-expensive (shots could run you 3-8~)

The list goes on and on. Pot is a great alternative to drinking, because

• Non-addictive, if you want to quit you can quit
• Less intense as alcohol (depending on how much you smoke)
• For many people (me), pot can be enlightening
• Something you can do whenever you want without worry

. I could add to both lists much more, but i'm pretty tired now.

I can see some truth in what you say about the alcohol-weed thing and i must say that i do prefer weed BUT ....

The thing about them both is that only because you are not physicly addicted it dosn't mean to say your not mentaly addicted...

Every drug has a sligtly different effect on different people so were as one person could not feel notting another person could have a real bad reaction (A lad a year above me in school died of an epileptic fit from smoking weed). Altho that was some years ago now it didn't stop me fucking up my school life and quiting....

If you want my advice (i learnt the hard way), you have many years to smoke all the weed and drop all the pills you like, but if you let if fuck up your school life you will never forgive yourself.

I understand what your saying - and I will take that to note. In college, i'm doing a two year scholarship thing with the ROTC corps. Part of the great 'comb-deal' is random drug testings (also on suspecion) - so I may have to quit for good in college.

Although, I would much rather smoke pot than drink. My mother, father and grandfather are all alcoholics. I guess i'm next in line to fuck up my life - so in most cases I avoid alcohol.

drugs r a very bad stuff!don't take a break from drus but try to stop it for ever
if u don't try this u r gonna die.......
