You want a follow up? I was stoned all the time when I was 21, in the process of graduating early from a well-regarded college with a 3.5 GPA. Now I’m 24, I’ve been out of school almost 2 1/2 years, I live with my mom and I’m delivering pizzas. When you’re still in the mode of “I’m doing what my parents and society expect of me” it’s pretty easy to do it while you’re high. Once it’s “What do I want to do for myself to have a good life,” it seems to get a little harder.
Of course, there are a dozen other factors you could point to that contribute to my current situation (parents’ divorce, mental illness, inability to give up far-fetched dreams of rock stardom, bogus liberal arts major, sorry state of economy, etc). And maybe if everybody hadn’t been telling me for the last three years that weed would turn me into a loser, I would’ve had the confidence in myself to actually do something with my life by now. But being unable/unwilling to give up weed, my already shitty self-image is forced to take more lumps from people who don’t agree with my decisions. Smoking weed is bad, telling people who smoke weed that they’re losers is worse.
In short, my life sucks. Blame weed if you want. Legalize it.
