Why aren’t there pictures of people that have been smoking for days? Weed is a drug plain and simple and it is a drug that screws and slows the mind so that you can’t react as you normally would do if you were straight. Take it from someone who is a ex weed smoker. The things I’m doing now I didn’t even think when I smoked weed.  Most days I couldn’t remember things from the day or week before. All I thought about was how I needed my weed to function; to wake up in the mornings, to clean my house, to live a life everyday. What does this show our kids? —that it is OK to do drugs? —that you need drugs to live a fulfilling life? Today I realize that I don’t need drugs to have a good life. I am going to school and I am a wonderful role model to my kids unlike what I was when I smoked weed.
