Please Help Me Help My Dopefiend Friends Posted: 05-05-07 06:55am
Hey folks, I have been smoking weed for
pretty much five years now but since a few
month back I've started to do it less and
less with the occasional bendgesmoking
sessions. The problems I am experiencing
and have experienced are pretty much what
all "frieerz" have, non existing school
results, loss of friends whom I love, oral
deteriotation, total loss of memory from
streches of time that were dedicated to
the herb and the constant reminder that
I've seem to have missed the starting gun
(partly a quote from "Time" by Pink Floyd)
But what hurts me the most is my "weeder
friends" state. I was the first of my
friends who began smoking after
experiencing some heavy duty evidence from
rolemodels and media that it wasn't a big
deal to smoke. Sadly I spread my newfound
"wisdom" with my friends like a crazed
missionary on meth. We had some great
years with weed, traveling, conversation
and a huge number of soulreleasing laughs
but for the last couple of years the trip
has deteriorated.
I have been starting to notice how they
one by one have slipped into depressions,
seeking out ways to rid themselves of the
feeling of worthlessness but most of all
they have been cursed with a great
egocentrism, egoism (well they are acting
extremely egoistic), only thinking about
themselves in a way almost psycotic. I
know I have a great mountain to climb
before I can quit smoking or at least
control my love for the green lady but I
know that I want to be able to control my
way through life. But my dear friends, who
might I add have the most snapping minds I
have ever encountered, haven't exactly got
the same way to look at it as I do. They
are so reliant of weed now that its their
solution for everything thrown at them and
because of their genius they can't be
reasoned with, well they reason they caca
out of you while failing to see their own
existence failing. Its not like i try to
come of as a saint, i totally get where
they're at and in the most parts i feel
exactly what they feel, except I feel it
when high and they feel it when they're
not high. I know I can help my self but
I've tried and I don't seem to be able to
help them. I would love to hear what ever
you guys and girl have to say about it,
maybe its not my responsibility but I
dreamt a dream last night of my friends
before we started smoking and I swear to
god i woke up in tears from the fact of
what they have become. Otherwise thx for
ur threads dedicated to us stoners. I know
we will rule the earth some day if we just
care a little more! Peace /morris

First of all you are in no way responsible
for their actions. They would have gotten
it with or without you. Second, you are
responsible for your own actions. Just
quit. It's no big deal. As I've said
before you can expect cravings to develop.
They decrease rapidly and the intensity
will also decrease. You may find that you
need new playmates. Once again, no big
deal. Society today is introducing drugs
to children at an alarming rate.
"Hyperactivity", is one of the main
problems. All heathy children are
hyperactive by adult standards. In one
parent households the one parent is
usually female and can simply not deal
with little Johnny. To the doctor he goes.
Doctors get paid to write prescriptions.
If said doctor tells mom that little
Johnny is normally active for a boy his
age she simply finds a Doc who tells her
what she wants to hear. We as a society
are raising a generation of drug addicts.
How does that fit in with your problem?
Many of your freinds were addicts waiting
to happen. Just quit yourself and you may
find some of them who are ready to go
along.
