I'll start off by saying I do feel it should be legal. It is a drug and it should be used in moderation but it is no different than alcohol and I definitely don't think that should be illegal.

I do feel the main issue is the difficulty in testing for it, as said. No one should drive impaired and I don't have any sympathy for those that caught doing so. I have plenty of friends that say they drive better when high. I am never going to do that and think they are dumb to say that.

I have changed as a person since coming to college. I drank a bit in high school but i stayed away from weed. Now I get piss poor drunk twice a week and smoke occasionally. I do feel it is beneficial to mess around with this stuff in high school because it makes it easier to deal with in college. Now fooling around with it in high school is very dangerous. Ideally it would be nice if people could get somewhat accustomed to it but not addicted. That is obviously an ideal though. I am smoking up on 420 but that is it until next year.

Because of this I feel parents should never encourage the uses of these substances but should be informative. If I were a parent a my kid came home drunk I would think I would set him straight but I wouldn’t scare him enough to not be ready to call me if he is ever in trouble. In high school, I found that those that had understanding parectns were more unlikely to drive drunk or go home with a drunk person just to not get introuble. I don’t think a parents job is to scare their children. Its more for them to be there for them> Alcohol use isn’t that big of a deal in high school. It isn’t even an issue in college. My parents know I drink. My uncles and aunts know I drink. Even my grandmother knows I drink. I’m not going to lie at this point in college and I feel my relationship with them makes it easy for me to tell them. They aren’t happy but they understand I am in college and are more concerned of whether I abuse it or not.

I'll continue with random thoughts... I tried weed three times before I got high. The first few times I just got tired and was confused by the stupid ass people sitting there while i was drunk and excited. When i first got high.... oh baby. I was having the time of my life. I had an idea of what it was like but its true that you have to try it to know. There is no way that it can be explained.

The first high is not the strongest or best, but it is the craziest. Things are just so new that it is enjoyable. For example, I felt as if my hands were dirty after eating some food. They weren’t that dirty but it was the only thing I could think of. Now if I get the same feeling I don’t think much about it when I am high because I know I am just making ti up. The newness of the feeling is the cool thing.

That is why I do feel weed is a gateway drug. Yes, I did start drinking first and it is possible alcohol led me to pot but there is no real reason for that. I will never do anyting more than weed but many chase that new feeling and try different things.

I like the feeling of weed a lot. I keep myself in check because I don’t want it to become a habit After getting high I did it 5 times before the end of the week. I now keep it to once every other week.

I also have to stop because an internship i am looking at this summer does have drug tests and its a family friend that is giving me the job. I swear I will be hung from my balls if I don't get the job because of the not passing a drug test.
