WHAT iS THE ANSWER TO THIS ?????????

Question

I'm 18 in hs, & i have to say everyone who i know (guys) smoke pot. & i mean like about every week (at least twice a month & those are the tamest ones). People sell them too, & it really is everyone i know. It had nothing to do with hanging around a certain crowd, this is a well-to-do suburb & these people are all well-liked and respected but they ALL do pot. Every guy in my grade who has any friends whatsoever!! (and a ton of girls too)

Am I completely wrong and there really is absolutely nothing bad about doing weed & it's completely normal and does no damage?? It's what they live for it almost seems like. And when they're not doing weed, they're drinking.

I don't do either, but is this normal?? (there is a big emphasis on being normal & against being awkward or creepy in this school, & these people act as normal, cool and real as they can all the time, yet they all do this.)

Any thoughts (if it is completely normal i think it's very, very sad, but apparently im wrong)

Answer 1

you certainly are smarter than your classmates to stay drug and alcohol free as later you will have the advantage of being able to be honest in the job interviews when these topics are asked along with other reasons which others may go into in their answers.

Answer 2

It is a mind altering drug. It has been shown to increase the chance of birth defects, and of course it is illegal, and so tends to paranoia, and might lead to serious jail time. It is an herb that the Almighty created for us for health, and to use it recreationally is not smart, or good. Smoking is not the best way to use it, for the lungs are very fine, and sensitive, and smoke damages them.
