Are you a former pot head?

I started smoking when I was 13. I quit when I was 16 and then came back to it in my twenties off and on. I haven’t smoked it in several months.

Indeed 15 characters smoked from 16 or so to 23 at every opportunity. I haven’t smoked in months also I don’t plan on ever smoking again. Being clean is pretty awesome.

I haven’t touched it since 2001, so 13 years or so.

It’s fun while it lasts. I thought I’d be hooked on the ■■■■ happily for the rest of my life. Glad I’m not now. Life is so much clearer without it.

I was more of a drinker and pill popper and XTC fan… but I started pot when I was about 14. I quit all drugs and drinking 6 years ago. Clean and sober.

I tried it in high school several times. I did less in college. Now I don’t drink or do drugs. I am of the opinion that stopping drinking when I started getting really sick paved the way for my medicine to work better.

I havent touched that ■■■■ since I was in my teens. It is a no-no worse than skipping meds for me.

I tried it a couple times for my nausea, and once because I was in Amsterdam, but it never went well for me. I just got really paranoid and had to go to bed and hide under the covers. And one time my hands melted and my elbows started spinning around, and a painting started singing to me. Overall not a positive experience for me.

I first tried it when I was 15. My last two years of high school I was a daily smoker; usually several times a day. Me and my friend would smoke a joint while walking to school. Then a few more at breaks and lunch. Then after school more, and at night. We used to sell joints and dime bags to cover the cost of our own use. After graduating high school I smoked it often. I remember buying a pound of homegrown while I was living on my own at 18. It came in a shopping bag, I remember dumping it out on my kitchen table. I had never seen so much pot. After I got sick at age 19 I discoved pot amplified my symptoms unbelievably bad. I quit for a few years. When I got addicted to crack I picked it up again and discovered I still couldn’t handle it. I quit ALL drugs and alcohol in 1990.

On another topic, what’s with the parents of adult schizos not “allowing” them to drink? Even when I was a teenager I was given alcohol once a month by my family. What the hell?
