My Friends Think I'm A Loser Because I Smoke Weed.

Hello, you're a 16-year-old boy. This summer, for the first time, I smoked weed, because a friend (let's call it "K") asked me if I wanted to, and I decided to try to see what it was. The first time, I didn't get anything, then after a while, I tried again, and this time he caught me. It was my first high, and I realized I liked it more than being drunk. K and other friends continued to smoke every few weeks when there was an occasion. Basically, most of my friends go to parties and drink there. I don't go to any parties or drink. I just replaced it with weed because I think it's five times better. I'm not saying that weed is not harming you, it harms you, but according to the scientific facts and my personal judgment, weed is better than alcohol and than any other drug (I have not tried any other drugs and do not plan to try, I just checked things). Now that you are familiar with my attitude to grass, let me also say what the problem is. I smoke weed every second Saturday. In total, they collect about 2-3 times a month to smoke. I guess for a 16-year-old boy, that's a lot, but that's not the problem. The thing is, K and I often talk about future highs, and almost all of our friends constantly call us addicts (mostly me) and tell us that we are already addicted and we will become retarded. Although certainly, the grass harms my body (as alcohol and cigarettes also do harm), I think since I started smoking weed things have improved. I have almost double the grades at school than I did last year. I stopped smoking cigarettes just because I didn't feel the need to smoke any more. I haven't had alcohol in a long time except for any other beer here and there. I'm not a popular person at all, I have few friends and people don't want to communicate with me much and it makes me feel disgusting, but the grass at least a little bit made me not care that much. I'm also not an addict, and my mosaic works perfectly. I just don't want my friends to call me anxious and a jerk and judge me, even more, so that some of them have smoked a few times, but it's still not clear what marijuana is and get drunk regularly. Tell me, what can I do about it?

You may not be a loser right now, but if you keep going like this, you're going to fall a lot.

Well, just don't discuss your stuffing in front of others?

Hi, I'm a girl in my 20s and I smoke weed from time to time. At first, he wouldn't catch me, too. It may be different for everyone, but over time I've noticed that it affects me, especially the psyche. I'm not going to be able to do that, but when I'm going to get a few days and I feel some paranoia, I'm easily upset, too, i'm changing my moods out of nowhere, and it's not like that before. I've become more violent, i notice how it's changed and the way I speak, as if sometimes I can't think of simple words and things like that. I don't smoke often, sometimes I don't smoke for months, other times every few weeks when there's a party, then a long pause follows again. Cigarettes also do not smoke, alcohol from time to time. Once, probably a week - two, after I had smoked, I was out and on one occasion I got a strong heartbeat, sweated strongly and almost passed out. I suspect the grass has a connection. I've had something similar happen to me during sleep, but not so hard. So, the grass isn't that harmless at all... Beware. Especially knowing that in many cases they spray it with amphetamines or other toxic substances.

You're fine. These are some nerds who will reject them more and more in time. That's why they 'hate' right now.
