Thank you for posting this.
I’m turning 20 next month, and had moved two years ago to go to college.
My friends from up north drank from time to time, but that was with other people, when it was just us, we’d plan camping trips, cooking nights, “pick a genre and wear it to the mall” days [tended to be industrial/raver garb most of the time.], and just could have tons of fun.

But moving here… I have made no friends…. The only people I hang out with on weekends are my boyfriend’s friends… and guess what? Their idea of a good time is drinking and smoking weed. My bf only does it once every few months, the tiniest amount, so I can deal with it.

But because the people hanging around me did it so often and boasted it’s awesomeness, while at the same time telling me story upon story of frightning tales of like, going for a walk, then not knowing where they were at all, pukeing all night, feeling like they were being stabbed by a thousand needles, ect… I asked them why they would do it if they “enjoyable things” were such scary things as that.

They could never give me a good explination. So, I decided to try and see for myself why anyone’d go through such horrible pain, confusion, and paranoia.

Guess what, one tiny puff, and I was couched for several hours, not able to talk, twitching uncontrolably, and vomiting the whole time. And yet his friends when they found out, laughed, and said “Ohhhh, you got greened out, That’s Hillarious~! That happened to me before! It’s fine”

But it was not fine… This was about, two months ago. Now, every at least three days, I randomly burst out in tears, I can’t feel things that I touch anymore, have cold sweats all the time, and am just completely sad, all the time.
I can honestly say that that was the worst moment of my life, and the biggest mistake of my life. I wish I could take it away. But I can’t. And I’m glad that some people out there aren’t as stupid as I was and have decided to never touch it ever.
And I hope that you guys do follow through with these statements. Cause I would never wish this feeling on anyone ever.

I don’t do drugs. Never have, never will. It does help that the people I hang out with don’t do drugs or get drunk either.

I’m so happy for whoever wrote this article, I’m almost seventeen and i have never really understood why people do drugs, a lot of my old friends now do that i cut off, I’ve never really felt the need. I believe they are a huge problem and I admit its hard coming to school and hearing about all the parties on Monday where everybody got so high and did crazy shit, but I’m even more proud that people like you and myself don’t do drugs.
Keep it up (:

I know I’m only 14, but I’m making this promise: I will never do drugs. Ever. I have so much going for me and I do not want to ruin that by being stupid just once and hooked on drugs. Oh yeah, and I also got lucky that I found friends who have this same additude as me and would also never do drugs. We’ll be the ones staying home– or hanging out together in a no alcohol/drug zone.

I had a friend just tell me that she was doing some pot at a party she was at. When I expressed my concerns for her she just said, ” don’t worry i don’t have an addictive personality” she seems to think that the only way to have fun is to drink and do drugs, I’m worried for her. I have no desire to go out an do these things. I find it ridiculous, sure some people may want to have a drink once and while but to let it control your life well than thats a bit much.

I have no problem with drinking- in moderation. I think I will never be able to get drunk. I’m 14, and occasionally my parents will let me have some alcohol and it just makes me too sleepy. On the drugs, I can’t stand stupidity. At all. I have a bad temper for it. So screw the drugs.

I NEVER smoked in hs. I heard of other people doing it, I’ve even seen classmates come to school high. But I just wasn’t interested in it at that time. Now college is a different story lol.

I am incredibly happy to see this article. I know how it feels not to be doing drugs when so many people close to you are.
Same with me, when I see how weed makes people act in class (people show up high a lot) I’m just like “Why?”. Most people have just come out and said that they like the attention they get, because being high gets other people laughing. But why can’t you be funny on your own? Anyone can get high, you aren’t special, you’re the typical result that smoking too much brings on.
I used to have a guy that I always looked up to get expelled for smoking weed, and when I confronted him (this was 3 years ago) he just said to me, “Wait ’till next year and you’ll be just like me.” So I did wait. I waited a year, then two, then three, and now I just know for sure I will never turn to drugs.
Personally, I don’t like the idea of having your mind affected by any substance. I believe you should live your life with your own mind intact. People who get high to feel good, I prefer to feel good from accomplishing things and from the other experiences life has to offer, where I’m completely sober and have nothing in my system. I know that I will never change when it comes to this.

To say I was shocked at the amount of weed passed around at my High School would be an understatement. I’d just come from a Catholic middle school, but I wasn’t ignorant to everything. It was still so… different. And I hate the smell. Some kids on the bus would smoke it in the morning–7 AM!–and they’d stink up the whole bus. It annoyed me to no end.
