Marijuana may not seem as dangerous as other drugs like cocaine, pills, most people see smoking marijuana as a bit of fun with their friends, getting high and drifting of to another world.
Pot, weed, grass and skunk are words commonly used to describe the dried leaves drug known as marijuana, which is usually smoked or eaten.
Not only are their long term affects from the drug but some people convince themselves that it is just a bit of fun and they can stop any time they like and eventually it takes over their life.
Smoking everyday and putting your body at some serious risks, being high all the time, relying on your next pay check to be able to keep getting high.
Some people do it for fun every now and then and can stop when they want to, you may not think you are putting your body at risk but you still are, marijuana can have an effect on the memory and emotions of a person’s central nervous system.
Whether you are addicted to the drug or just doing it for a bit of fun you are putting yourself at a serious risk so this may be something to stop and think about.
Is getting high, putting all different chemicals in your body worth getting high and risking your health.
There are so many different affects that come with marijuana some being, impairing emotions and health risks.
Your brain is clearer when you don’t smoke allowing you to make better decisions and be able to concentrate you might think that life is better when your high but maybe getting high is not the answer to being happy.
This is something I found on a website http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/exchange/node/1808 this is something that a past smoker had to say:
“I am addicted to weed and anyone who says its not addicting is bullshitting you.... YOU will get addicted to the feeling of being high and want to always be high cause it will feel normal after a certain amount of time.....”
“How has weed affected me? I am super lazy some days, i forget alot of things ussualy small things like a test in school or something i have a small case of short term memory loss and long term.....”
If you are thinking of smoking or you smoke every now and than, or you are addicted maybe you should take a look at this site and see what others have to say.

Decisions big and small
Every decision you make big or small can take you down a different path in life, that’s why you have to stop and think about the decisions you make and the possible outcome it they may have.
Whether it be deciding to sneak off to a party, have a cigarette or something as simple as what you eat.
A number of influences lead to making a decision, talking to family (mainly your parents/guardian, friends, or even following and basing your decision on what another person thinks, getting what you want or where you want can be another big influence.
Although it may not be something you realise but your morals, beliefs and values have a significant impact on your decisions therefore how you live your life, for example, a person who makes the decision to say no to drugs, that person’s decision may have stemmed from their morals, beliefs or values.
You make decisions throughout your whole life, so how do you know you are making the right decisions and are you making them for the right reasons?
You need to think about the decisions you make, why you’re making them and what the possible outcome could be also who you are making the decision for and who it could affect, it may seem extreme to think so deeply about making a decision but it may be something you regret after.
I can honestly say if I could go back in time there are lots of decisions I would stop and think about before making them instead of not thinking the important ones through and following what my friends did or making decisions on the spur of the moment, luckily I have realised how important decisions are and how much they can change your life.
Most importantly you should make decisions for yourself and for the right reasons.
