I had this interesting Omegle conversation that I'd like to share.

It's funny cause I smoke but I have this inspiration to stop and im high right meow.

You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
Official messages from Omegle will not be sent with the label 'Stranger:'. Strangers claiming to represent Omegle are lying.
You: have you ever been high?
Stranger: yes many times
You: finally
Stranger: maybe more times then not
You: tired all of these dumb kids that think weed is the devil haha
You: toke up!
Stranger: i quit

Stranger: and smoked before bed all day
Stranger: never even missed a day
You: damn
Stranger: complete waste of my life
You: yea id have to agree
You: thats why i dont smoke that much :)
Stranger: yeah i had a problem i think
Stranger: i havnt smoked for like 3 years and i still feel like i wanna smoke
You: im probably not helping haha
Stranger: thought about smoking weed today infact
Stranger: nah i wont smoke again prolly
You: thats good
You: 10 years is enough, you know what its like
You: ill bet that because you did it so much, for so long, its sort of engrained into your mind
You: so you think about it still a bit
Stranger: daily lol
Stranger: i smoked more then 10 years
Stranger: i started when i was 13
Stranger: and smoked till i was like 27
You: haha wow
Stranger: yeah what a waste
You: thats like your entire prime
Stranger: yep i mean you can still be ok when puffing
Stranger: but i bet id be better if i hadnt
You: yea, it probably wouldnt have gone by so fast haha
Stranger: haha yeah i guess so
Stranger: but its a blur and i forget my keys alot
You: that tokke killed me
You: jeez man
Stranger: how often do you smoke?
You: 2 times a week
Stranger: how long have you smoked?
You: uhmm over a year
You: maybe 1.5
Stranger: how old are you
You: 17
Stranger: you should stop
Stranger: smoking when your young does damage
You: like what
Stranger: its ok to smoke when your older
Stranger: i dunno google it
Stranger: it fucks with your head
You: only if you have a pre disposition for the fucking up
You: other than that thc is harmless
Stranger: no. Smoking weed when your young does damage to your b rain
Stranger: your way more likely to be depressed and have problems
You: i already have my life hobby and i love my life
You: so i doubt that
Stranger: yeah i dont think your smoking crack
Stranger: but pot does NOT help anything
You: i know that
You: its just fun

Stranger: your fucking up. You think its casual and blah blah i go to school....
Stranger: your not gonna get addicted its just weed....but it fucks up your brain at 17
Stranger: wait till your 21 and your shit isnt still growing
Stranger: you need your chemicals in your brain to be even and secure at 17 not all stoned
Stranger: not to mention it doesnt make you smarter
Stranger: i watched people at 17 start smoking and later die from drugs
You: how
Stranger: one died from herion
Stranger: one died from cocain and herion
Stranger: one of my friends just got of oxycotin he robbed a pharmacy he was a casual user at 17
Stranger: its not like oh your gonna go smoke crack or die
Stranger: at age 17 you need mental stability and pot wont provide that
Stranger: your growing
Stranger: and life is short
Stranger: its like growing a plant and pouring the wrong shit on it
Stranger: it maybe will grow but not what it would had it been fed correctly
Stranger: meh you wont listen your prolly laughing
You: no i get you man
You: just had a huge epiphany
Stranger: pot is bad
Stranger: your ripped because your head is all fucked up on some plant
Stranger: who cares if hippys say OH its great
Stranger: kids should not smoke pot
Stranger: they need to grow
Stranger: the brain is fragile and very complex at your age
Stranger: your not FUCKED and never gonna recover
Stranger: but you need to be sober to grow correctly
Stranger: not to mention since i stopped puffing
Stranger: i can talk to people better
Stranger: i can look them in the eyes
Stranger: i can think clearly
Stranger: hit on girls better
Stranger: make better music
Stranger: i have less anxiety
Stranger: i feel more secure in who i am.
Stranger: You know what made me stop....
You: thats cause your 27
You: what made you stop?
Stranger: because deep down inside my heart i knew i was judgen myself for smoking weed
Stranger: i crossed that line of drug use at a early age
Stranger: im not 27 im 29
Stranger: your life is so fucking awesome if you stop and accept that deep down your personal choices (the bad ones) will affect you in the back of your mind
Stranger: life is short dont judge yourself for bad choices and love life
Stranger: life is good and the more good choices you make I PROMISE you it will get only better
Stranger: sure getting high is fun but deep down YOU KNOW.
Stranger: from 26 to 29 my life has trippled in coolness because i stopped puffing
Stranger: had i stopped at 17
Stranger: id be unstopable
You: even 2 times a week is that bad?
Stranger: do you think its bad?
Stranger: you know the answer
Stranger: you need a sharp mind
Stranger: to climb to the top
Stranger: i love potheads they are good people
Stranger: but had they not smoked they would be better
You: i dont like the tired looking eyes
Stranger: its there soul it deadens your soul
Stranger: i swear to god it does
Stranger: 2 times a week your not doomed
Stranger: but your young stop now
Stranger: its easy just dont
Stranger: i have to go
Stranger: stuff to do
Stranger: ....think about it sorry if i sound cheesy
You: k nice talking to ya man. lots to think about
You: im saving this convo
Stranger: every choice you make in the back of your mind has a effect on your inner energy
Stranger: make good choices and your energy is good
Your conversational partner has disconnected.

i know that i have no problem with smoking. i even do it occasionally. i just have things that i feel are much more important, and those things take precedence over smoking weed.
for some people it just takes over and robs them of their ambition. one of my friends fell into that trap this summer and it kind of sucked because we never hung out anymore. he just went and got blazed with his stoner friends at every opportunity and blew me off.

it all depends on the person. some people get hardcore into it after the first couple times. some are fine with occasional use.

everything in moderation

every waking moment for 14 years is fucking absurd. 2 times a week is way below the moderation line imo.

1. i have read that weed isn't chemically addictive, but people it can be a wicked bad habit, i have plenty of friend who wished they smoked less. People tend to hide behind the weed isn't chemical addictive, but you can easily get dependent.
6. Your friend is smart, that doesn't prove shit about weed.

This is how i think of it...Weed addiction is like jacking off, why quit when it feels good and isnt harmful. But when you become a chronic masturbator and your dick bends and balls fall off, its time to stop. just like the people that become dependant on smoking weed and fuck there life over. And who could forget that quote from Tom Wallisch himself from 4bi9 west bound and down edit?

Cleg: "How about we get some shots of you smoking weed for your video?"

Tom Wallisch:"Oooh you know thats great and all cleg but uh..i think that needs to stay out of my promotional video."

I read the first page of this thread and did not bother with the other 2 pages of the thread because it appeared to be a big bitch fest in the making.

My personal experience with drugs is very very similar to that stranger on the omegle chat. The back story is that i started using drugs at the age of 16, and by the time i was 17 I had become a middle man somewhat for weed. I smoked in the area of a 1/4 of weed every 1.5 days because of various sessions everyday with many many people, these sessions would go on till 4 in the morning on some nights. I started as a casual smoker aswell, but eventually was taken down the path of full blown drug user. The time i used weed opened the door for other drugs for me aswell, I started doing lsd and mushrooms with weed when i had become bored or immune to the high of pot. In my last couple months of drug use i would normally eat 8-10 grams of shams and smoke 1/8 of pot each weekend night, so effectively double those amounts and that was just a weekend. While this was all happening, my father was dying from cancer and I worked a 32 hour a week job in highschool to support my habits and help support the family with odds and ends, and perhaps the drugs were a crutch but i never really felt i was doing drugs to hinder my reality moreso it was just pure fun. It had its high points and low points for sure, and at the time i was meeting many many interesting people in my life like korean gangsters that had no name and carried pistols at all times. I smoked 24/7 and thought it was the best feeling in the world and that i would never give it up but little did i realize that it is far from the truth. The only reason i was able to stop my drug use was that i overdosed on a combination of drugs ( all "harmless" drugs) and ended up walking in my house front door and was greeting by a concerned mother who had lost her husband to cancer less than a year prior... 30 seconds after being dragged into my house by some friends because i couldnt walk i had multiple seizures right there in front of my mother. The rest of that night was a pure hell, i kept passing in and out of consciousness and had reasoned with myself that i was going to die and accepted the fact i had fucked up. It was the most intense life experience i have ever had in the sense that it takes a fair amount of panic and sorrow to accept ones death and that you had failed your family. My mother was a wreck at this point and had no idea if she should call 911 to get me through the night, eventually she decided against it because she had called my brother to ask what to do and he said to let it play out. I fell in and out of consciousness for the next 6 hours with a super high fever and no ability to understand anything that surrounded me, only my dreams in the current fucked up state made sense. Prior to my overdose, i thought i was tough shit with drugs and i could do anything and it never effected my life but all it took was one slight mistake with drugs and my life was in jeopardy. I quit cold turkey from all forms of drugs the very next day and have smoked pot 2 times total in the last 6 years or so.

When i look back at that time in my life i now can see clearly of how negatively even a stupid "harmless" drug like pot could do to a persons mental state and health. I was never addicted to the drug, more or less i was addicted to the lifestyle and at the time I thought it was the lifestyle i wanted to live for the rest of my life. I am so grateful that i had the 2nd chance and the willpower to quit on the spot. When i first dabbled in smoking pot it wasnt a big deal, it would just be at parties or get togethers but slowly and surely it eventually crept all the way up to the point where it was literally one of the major factors in my life... And i needed it to get on with my life at that point. It took less than a week for the purple haze to clear out from my mind and basic thought process started to change aswell, short term memory started to gradually come back to me and it seemed to me my brain was no longer strained to hold information. My emotions after I quit seemed to become easier to understand and cope with aswell because after all pot is a depressant and you may not feel like it is hindering your emotions while you are smoking pot but it surely does. After years of heavy pot use, the changes it makes to you are so subtle that you will never notice until its too late. Pot can ruin peoples lives, people all just react differently to drugs and some people cannot have moderation. The main difference between me and the omegle stranger is that I dont regret doing drugs at all, It had its ups and downs like anything in life and it was a great learning experience for me. Had i never smoked pot in my life, i would surely be a different person and have perhaps have a different life than i do now but no one can truely say it would be a better or worse life. It really grounded and humbled me after I overdosed and I realize how dirty pot can really be, but its just so subtle that people will never know unless someone points it out to them. If i have kids I would expect them to try new things and pot will surely be one of them and i would not condone smoking pot persay but i would never scorn my children for trying it, but the point at which it starts to take over their lives i will kick their ass.

Im sure this may be hard to read due to lack of writing skill, but I just wanted to share my own personal experience with drugs and how it changed the course of my life.

oh yeah, and stoner bros are not real bros. Once you get out of smoking pot you will find they will start to call you less and less. This isnt only because you pitch on weed but because of the fact that a stoner bro relationship is built off a drug. You might feel like this person would have taken a bullet for you if you were sessioning together, but really he lacks motivation to get in front of that bullet when the time comes. I met alot of "friends" through weed and even alot of my school friends progressed with me down the road of smoking pot but as soon as you no longer want to take part, you are a cast away.

I read this thred from cover to cover and i want to give my two cents.

I used to smoke 3 times a week at least now i smoke 1 maybe 2 times a week or more over a break and I have had a great time doing it. Yes i have been forgetting things and all that but along the way i have made new friends. I even had my friendships become stronger through this. Even my friends that dont know i do. My grades haven't been amazing but their average for me right around a B+ average. Could my grades be better if i didn't smoke? Yes, but because i am smoking and not studying not because of the effects of weed. Just like choosing to play X box instead.

I have found that weed has made me more interested in my subjects at school. I dont do it during the week. I focus on school and sports.

Weed to me is not an every day thing have i smoked multiple days in a row yes but only on occasion. I try to limit myself because when i blaze i want it to be an experience not just another day.

I started because one of my friends asked and i was curious. I thought i was just going to smoke and still hang with my other friends and i have but i've made new friends on both side of the spectrum. Most of my friends that dont smoke dont know i do. I'm not keeping it a secret its just not that big part of my life that i need to just talk about it or only hang out with my friends that do.

Do I look foward to it? Yes i do. everyday but no more than i look foward to the next time i ski or baseball season.

Do I see myself stopping soon? No maybe a break for baseball or if it becomes a problem but no not as far as I can see.

Would i recomend it to a friend? Yes and no. Weed helped ME. I would be depressed fell like there was nothing to look foward to do other than activities like above but nothing were i can set a few hours of my weekend aside and chill with some friends and have a fun time.


Is it good for you? No not physically but it can help you through tough times and just make life a little bit better.

I dont care if you smoke or not. I chose to and still do. I understand what im getting into and realize its not the best thing for me but its what I chose.

BYE!!!@

everything in moderation.

as soon as you put marijuana ahead of everything else (school, friends, work, etc.), it's not the drug...it's you. prioritize.

money is the big thing for me. Its all about control and the fact that your spending a shit ton of money on weed is because of your self control not because of weed. A heroin addicted needs more not because it is sooo fucking amazing that he just has to have it, but because it is so fucking horrible to not have it. Yeah you might mentally get addicted to pot but I could mentally get addicted to burritos if I love them enough.

The whole sleeping situation goes away in 2-3 days and I feel the only reason that you have trouble sleeping without being high is because your always high when you go to sleep. If I listen to music every night before I go to bed for a month, It's going to be hard for me to sleep without music.
