The Other Side

| This site is very biased, if I do say so myself. All of these "moments of truth" if they are true, it's very sad. But there is another side to the story. *gasp!*. I'm 16 years old and I've been smoking for 4 years and 2 months, nothing but Marijuana. No alchi, not tobacco, nothing else. I've been to all these sites like this that tell you that you're going to eventually get tired of weed and you'll go on to crack and all those other drugs. Marijuana is a gateway drug. Oooh! This is from my experience; a hubmle 16 year old in the 10th grade, has never failed, has a GPA of 3.4 (that's not tooo bad), and has a job. I'd say I'm not doing to bad for myself. I've smoked at least a blunt (even if a small one) for the past year and a half and I've never once got the urge to snort something or pop something. The shear though of a cigarette disgusts me. Marijuana is a gateway drug only if you let it be. If you don't want to do crack, don't do it! If you don't want to take E, don't do it! There isn't enough weed in the world to get me high enough to want to try something else, unless it's a different kind of weed. If you tell yourself that weed is the only thing you'll smoke and you turn around and smoke some crack, that's a problem with YOUR will power, I'm sorry. The bottom line: Marijuana is NOT a gateway drug and if you know what you're doing in terms of taking care of yourself when you smoke, it's no more dangerous than a cigarette. I suggest that all Marijuana Legalization Supporters visit this friendly site : NORML.com. |

| This section of the website does more harm than good. By posting the stories of people with 'moments of truth', it makes it seem that having these problems are okay or normal. It is not normal to be pregnant at 13 - or 14- or 15 or 16 or 17. Most people don't consider parenting until they are in to their twenties.
Drugs are not even remotely cool. The only moments of truth that you should be publishing are the ones that document realizations that your parent or someone you trust were right - that drugs, alcohol, and premarital sex ruin your life before you are mature enough to handle the consequences of your actions. |

drugs ruin everything

| Most people don't consider alcohol as a drug.. but it is. I had my first drink at the beginning of 7th grade. The only reason I did it was because my friends did. there's peer pressure for ya. I'm now in 11th grade and haven't had a drink for a year. I can't tell you how hard it is not to drink. Drinking has made me so depressed.. and when i'm depressed i wanna drink more.. because i hate life so much. During these last couple of years i've lost 2 people in highschool because of alcohol. it pisses me off when i see people drinking to them.. it's what killed them in the first place. drinking hasn't just killed people but it also has ruined relationships. my best friend and i who got me into drinking isn't my best friend. what a friend she was to put me in an environment like that. drinking also led me to wrecking her car. after this past year i thought life couldn't get any worse. i wanted to die and let this all be.. i had no friends to turn to.. except God.. he will always be for you even when you think nobody's there for you. he loves you no matter what you do. talk about unconditional love. i think if you have a major addiction or your life is really screwed up you should pray to god. he can help! pray! pray! pray! |

| I'm a senior in highschool now and didn't even start drinking until my sophmore year...i always told myself that i would NEVER do or even try drugs...but my summer going to my junior year i tried marijuana..and yes i liked it..alot. I started smoking that a little more as time passed and eventually everyday, about 3 times a day..then i started taking pills..codine, vicodon, bars, stuff like that...then i started snorting coke. Something i told myself I would NEVER do. I don't even know how it started. But now I don't know how i'm going to stop it..alot of my really good friends look at me different now and tell me I need to chill out with it and stuff, and i want to but then i don't. I just can't see myself not doing it now. It's gotten to the point i sell things now to get money for it. I dunno i just don't know what to do anymore.. |

| I've tried weed, coke, beer,liquor, hash, and i smoke cigerettes. The only thing I don't do any more is the coke. It messed me up. I lost some weight, not too much and everyone was telling me how good i was looking and more alert i was in class. Its the good times that rule out the bad. if you keep thinking on your bad experiences then yea your going to quit and thats wonderful for you. People say that pot ruined their life. Im sorry to tell you, you ruined your life not the pot, it may have influenced some things but your in control of yourself not pot, beer, or any other sort of drug, you may think its the drug talking but inside you have to know that its you that wants the drugs, you that needs them, you that doesnt care and you that doesnt love. People that put drugs down are fine, but not when they havent tried them or felt the effects of them. People that have gone through the pain and suffering, the parents, the family are the ones i think have only that right to say how bad they really are.
But scientists it is helpful to know what certain drugs look like, do to you, and names of them so were not in the fog. everyone has something in their life they want to hide or cover up.
For me i started smoking with my cousin because i couldnt deal with my home family life. heres a quote i wrote and its mainly to my sister "I was like a stuffed animal, there to be beaten on when angry" I think im a stong guy but when ever i look at my past like a lot of people do, they look for an escape. |
