as for what the future holds, YOU are in charge of that, my friend. Use it and plan for it well.

Hoody, thanks a lot for the honest advice — I did take it into deep consideration. I’m doing better now, and I haven’t smoked in a while, and feel no need to as of now (I don’t know what the future will hold).

I’ve found that along with amount of money you have to spend on it, weed is an immense waste of TIME.
That’s the main reason I’m distancing myself from it.

anyway, thanks again
Brian

Dude, WHAT are you doing?

Seriously.

I’m only going to say this one time. If you are not an addict (there is no way I can make such a diagnosis long-distance) yet, I can say with authority that you are well on the road to becoming so. All the depressants listed above have significant addictive features. Overdosing is considered by some to be a sign of addiction.

While it is true that hallucinogens and pot are not addictive, they present their own concerns.

Hallucinogens severely impede judgment. While the drug itself may not cause damage (though you don’t say WHAT you’ve taken), actions resulting from the subsequent impaired judgment CAN cause harm. I can quote you a story of a fool tripping on acid who decided he could fly.

So he flapped out of a 5th story window, with the predictable results.

Pot is far more dangerous than tobacco to the lungs, and you yourself have noted how it impedes memory function and saps the user of any sense of self-motivation. All stoners want to do it toke up, indulge in their munchies, and stare at the wall.

NOT a productive use of your intellect, my friend.

If you don’t want to go through treatment, then STOP USING!!! Right now.

If you don’t, treatment may then be forced upon you. If you don’t want it, show how you don’t need it. The only way to do that is to stop using.

As for the relationship with your parents, I can only assume that the friction coming about is a result of their care and concern for you and their desire to provide what is best for you, your body, spirit and soul. Drugs provide NOTHING for any of those facets of your being. They really do want what is best for you, as do I.

You want to talk more, you know where to find me. Drop me a line if you like; we can chat, phone, whatever. I’m here to listen, and I promise not to preach anything new to you unless you ask for it explicitly.

But dude, seriously. Stop now.

Love in Christ,

-Hoody
