People choose different paths in life...

**FooTemps** · 03-08-2002, 09:44 PM

That really sucks... Actually I know a lot of people who are stoners at our school and some admit to being slaves to their cravings, mostly cigaretts or weed. They want to quit sometimes but they can't...

**liigod** · 03-08-2002, 11:10 PM

i go to skool in berkeley california. I must say they are the experts on weed there. There is NO city in the country with the exception of possibly humbolt county that is more experenced in weed. I am very-anti weed. All of my friends in berkeley are. The only expection to my cleen group of friends is my buddy marc. He grew up in the wealthest housing devlopment it the bay area. Friggen 1million for the land. Hes the stoner. He can afford it. MAinly what u need to do it get yer buddy adicted to paintball... so he can waist al of his money on paintball... then have noting left for weed. If that doesnt work... give him a hard time for it. Get his friends to help. Make it one be bash to make fun of his weed habit. Trust me its worked for mwah manny a time. remeber this comes from a dude who goes to skool in the stoner capital of the werld.

i don't know how old you are(no offense) or your situation or whatever. all i can say is dno't worry about. yeah weed is bad and all ddrugs are, yadda yadda yadda. we've all heard that from 3rd grade on from teachers, parents, adults, the whole nine. the truth of the matter is, they're going to go through it. there's nothing you can really do or say that is going to get him to stop. i'm fairly straight edge. i don't drink, smoke(anything), or take any type of drugs(i don't even like taking asprin). everyone i know does. there are only about3 people that i know and talk to that don't at least smoke cigerettes. if you guys are about 16-17(you said 10th grade), he's going through that point where he has to experiment or go with the flow that happens to be smoking. it would be cool if you could stop him, but more than likely, you're just going to piss him off to the point where he's just going to stop talking to you. it's cool that you're trying to look out for him, but i really don't think you can change anything. don't be to concerned, yet. as you guys get older, if he progesses to bigger and better(not really better, you get the point) drugs, then you should be worried. but if he's just smoking weed, don't let it get between you. let it go. that's what i did. i still feel alone in not doing any type of drugs.

Sorry Ragu, man I think you're dead wrong. You're not talking about caffine or fatty foods here or something harmless. You're talking about a harmful substance. And a very ILLEGAL substance. Magman's friend could be looking at jail time for something such as this. It's not something you let slide for the sake of possibly hurting your buddy's feelings.

Magman, tell 'em like it is. Tell him weed is illegal and stupid, and you want no part of it. If he's shallow enough to dump you as a friend over it, then you don't need him as a friend. Hell, he might even listen to you.

Say this joker decides to get high and take his car for a drive... then you've got some doped up nut driving around. What if he decides to go too fast, then hits or kills someone you know because he was driving erratically.

Believe me, he's gonna wish someone had helped him jerk his head out of his behind before it got to that point. If you have to tell someone in authority over him (like his folks) do it. It's better that it gets delt with BEFORE it becomes a problem. Not after something is permanantly damaged.

**BEEFYSAUSAGE** · 03-09-2002, 06:29 AM

well

ok i am just going to come right out and say it ....i inhailed and loved it.....its been 6 months since i have had a toke on the perveribal joint,and i have all but given up smoking ciggerets,and rarely drink.
now if you go back to when i was 19 (im now 26) i usto smoke pot all the time,drink a 700 mill Jack Daniels a night
and smoke cigies till the cows come home..the point of this is some people will change and some people will get worse
drugs and alchol ARE BAD ( i usto pee blood!!!)but i still held on to my full time job (been working full time since i was 16)and now have come full circle ..i did alot of things when i was young and now i can see they were stupid and some times dangerous, but it all makes you who you are today and damn i had some fun,
i would not change any of it for the world (well ok a custom slf maybe)
just watch his back and dont let your freind fall too far
as i think of it weed is not the worst thing he could be doing...crack,speed,herion ect ARE EVIL and i have seen first hand them distroy people.
just dont over react some of us turn out alright in the end!
BEEFY.

get this, hees playin paint ball while high now. This is a major problem.

**Mossman** · 03-09-2002, 11:31 AM

And a very ILLEGAL substance. Magman's friend could be looking at jail time for something such as this. It's not something you let slide for the sake of possibly hurting your buddy's feelings.

LOL. I know what you guys are saying, you all have points, but seriously get a life guys.

Playing paintball high, while not a good idea, depends on the person. Unless the kids a retard when not stoned, he's not gonna take off his mask or shoot anyone.

You have never smoked. You never got high. You never got high over and over again, and you dont know what its like. While I dont concider smoking and boozin to be a big deal, i have cooled off, havent smoked for months now cuz I'm poor enough and in lousy shape as it is. But seriously, leave the kid alone. A pal of mine (not so much anymore, but for different reasons), is the best pitcher in my highschool, blazes like a madman, (not sure how often anymore, havent talked to him for a while), but he's a good funny kid. Seriously, the worst drugs like pot are gonna get you *usually* is a drug test a month for 6 months if you get caught. He ain't going to jail, hes not gonna die, and id rather have high drivers than drunk drivers on the roads.

**Jonno06** · 03-09-2002, 11:33 AM

actually,it's only jail time depending on how much he has on him.I think if it is under an gram,then it is a mistemenor(sp).I know alot of people who smoke weed,they arent addicted or anything.Many have even quit.

**Mossman** · 03-09-2002, 11:33 AM

Gup44, no way your 33 years old (according to your profile), and seriously think this is a big problem and hes gonna see jail time

**Ov3rmind** · 03-09-2002, 11:40 AM

Oh man, I know exactly what situation you're in right now. I'm in 9th grade, and some of my closest friends became pot heads. It sucks pretty bad, I didn't know what to do. Luckily, they got caught by my school. One of my friends got put in an intervention program, and the other quit straight up (I'm pretty sure he's not lying). I refuse to do any of that crap, especially if I'm playing Paintball. I know a kid who plays in the PanAm circuit though, and he does more than pot (like Cocaine).

**Paintballer86** · 03-09-2002, 01:31 PM

I palyed Paintball today with someone who was high.
He Played with an Angel.

Angel + Weed = &

This happened to me today. The kid was high and he though it would be funny to shoot my in the staging area without my mask on. One hit me just below and to the left of where my heart would be, and the other about 2 inches from Glory

HEy guys, i got a big problem, and i really need all your help
