I've Been Smoking for Four YearsPrintEmail

I am one of those typical teens you see when you walk into a high school. Stumbling around, eyes half shut, reeking of marijuana. I'm in 10th grade, and I have been smoking for four years, but the last two years have been the worst. It seems like it has been a part of my life for so long, and just a part of me -- it is how people know me at school.

One day, however, I was sitting around, stoned as usual, and I started to think. These are the first years of high school, and I can promise you that for the past two years, I have been stoned five out of the seven days in a week. When it is a smoking day, I'm smoking about 2-3 grams per day. I figured that in the past four years, my friend and I have spent over $12,000 (Canadian) on pot. I decided that I would like to remember my high school years. So, after sitting there and spacing out, I never touched the stuff again.
