Hello! My topic is mainly aimed at teenagers who overdo marijuana. Not those who have tried once or twice, but those who smoke every week or even more than once a week.
I am currently almost 24 years old and have not smoked since 2014. here. Before that, for a few years, I was in a company that used to gather to share money for grass, call dealers, and organize "entertainment" - walks, movies, card games, but always after smoking. I will try to tell the stories of the lives of the various participants in this company and how it developed after adolescence and we are now largely adults, and I will leave you the opinion whether marijuana is a drug and if so - light or heavy and does it lead to addiction.
I first smoked when I was 13 years old. Puberty hit me early and hard and I wanted to live crazy and wild. About a year later I met 2 boys from the neighborhood, with whom I had known since childhood, but we had not seen each other for years. Apparently they were on the same wave because in their heads were only pranks - parties and entertainment, drunkenness and drinking. When I started going out with them more regularly, they obviously already had contacts and found marijuana quite easily, even though we were only 14 years old. There were 2-3 girls circling around us, who later turned out to just want to smoke and be taken to the cafes of the avant-garde, if possible without making money. One of the boys from the company was quite rich, and obviously deluded, and the girls pushed him while he was drawing and paying, and when there was nothing to draw, we were left with only 3 of us again.
And so time passed, and our visions were mainly to call each other in the neighborhood (we lived close to each other), to find out how much to take from the dealer, and then to get drunk on a bench. If we had an extra lev, we could then go to a cafe, a cinema or something else, but in many cases we just stayed on the benches and cycled in the empty space or the phones while filming. So time passed, and our outings-smoking began to become alarmingly frequent - up to 3 times a week. Things got even worse when my rich friend's sister caught up with a dealer in a white Mercedes, which gave a lot of grass, and quality, in their words, "imported" (Dutch), which because of the higher content caught even more. Sometimes he gave us the boyfriend in question for free, other times he asked for 20-30 leva, but he gave a solid amount. To some extent I tried to limit myself, I only smoked in the evening when we went out in the neighborhood, although could there be a limit of 2-3 clouds of smoke a week? My friends started puffing at school, smoking during breaks, starting to stay out of class, and generally, smoking became commonplace.
When the boys in question started smoking 6-7 times a week and refused to do anything - sports, walks, movies - without getting drunk before or after, I realized that weed is not something completely harmless. I think that the easy and affordable grass at that time (from the sister's boyfriend) and enough money we managed to raise the 3 of them only made things worse. I began to feel and isolate myself from them, but without much effect - I did not have many other friends, and they called me more or less every night sometimes with requests to put 3-4 levs to get together for another call to the dealer and I gave in. So we spent maybe 2-3 years. As the weather is good in parks and gardens, as it is winter - in some apartments or in cafes and malls. Maybe wrong, but I've never felt addicted to weed. For my friends, however, I can say for sure - they were. After 2-3 years in this company we decided to make a common sea. Even before we left, they were crazy to take grass for 100 leva for the sea, for a few days. We took. Our sea passed again with intoxications every day, sometimes more than once a day. More or less then the light began to come on that things were wrong and that this was not my thing, but obviously it would take some more time until I realized and completely detached myself.
I began to be totally repulsed by them when they began to intrigue and make schemes only for more and more grass. They mediated and found grass for their acquaintances and friends (from their schools and others) and before giving them their grass they "tanned" for them as well - they took some grass for themselves and then gave it to whoever asked them. They also started intriguing each other (the two boys in question) and slandering me, and probably the glass overflowed when I realized that for one of my birthdays after pressure to take a large amount of grass (on their initiative) - for 50, 60 I think it was BGN, they gave it to me after they "left" it and reduced the amount. I also suspected that one of the girls gravitating around us was the king of me. Then I realized that we were talking about addiction and something that is not harmless at all, but the story does not end there.
I decided to get rid of them and start a new way of life. I was already 17, a little older
