to the kid who started this thread, your retarded. nothing to look forward to? are you fucking kidding? how bout finding a perfect wife who means the world to you. how bout having kids, grand kids, seeing the world, trust me, you dont think about those kinds of things when your 15-16, but theres A TON i am looking forward to in my life.
as for weed being the cause of a differnt perspective, i guess id have to agree. when i first started smoking, i really mellowed out. it did hurt me in school, and i got hooked like crazy, to the point where my life was just a fog. i didnt touch it for 2 years, and THAT is where i reallllly started to understand. just the beauty of the world, the sunset, the good that is in people, and it was when i started to see how really screwed up some people are. now, while i hated high school, and i did fairly poorly, i scored high on my SAT/ACT, and am now one of 20 in one of the nations top ranked industrial design programs. so i dunno, if you dont find highschool shit interesting, dont worry. i am absolutely in love with my schooling, its incredibly fascinating. but yea, the one thing, is its fine to let weed open your eyes to things, but dont mistake it as a portal. you dont NEED it to think that way. i smoke maybe on a monthly basis now, and its far more enjoyable when its a treat, not something you require.
