XxRebelSeanxX, its that kind of thinking that ends up hurting people.  "I've only done it 4x, another time wont hurt me"...thats the mindset drug addicts get into, and once you're there, you pretty much stay their unless you enter lockup.

Both of my siblings have had serious drug problems and everyday it makes me think more and more about how I will not EVER do drugs and up like them.  My sister recovered and has been clean for 6 years now, and my brother is still actively refusing that he is addicted.  His addiction, you might ask?  Marijuana.  And dont give me bullshit about it not being addicting, he likes the high and thats the addiction, he kept going back and now its a mental state for him to take weed whenever he is stressed.

Weed, Alcohol, Cigarettes, all of it does the same thing.  It addicts you.  And once you're in, you need to be locked in a facility with tight screening of visitors before you get better.  When I used to go see my sister when I was younger and she was in, they would literally check us down to our socks to ensure we didnt have drugs to pass on to her or any of the other addicts.  Its not a fun thing being locked in a drug institution either.

So, before you pick up a drug, think about the consequences that will more than likely happen as a result. One things for certain...if you're doing drugs constantly, you are not going to know me much longer.

Hope things work out for you and her, Ben!

I agree 100%.

My 2 uncles and cousin are both almost brain dead because of drugs. My cousin is the worst though. She sees things and she even some times according to her she says she’s talking to Leonardo de Vinci and they have good conversations. My cousin is now classified as a schizophrenic. She snaps at any time. Right now she’s livening in one of those places where you go and they take care of you since she has no money and can't think like we do.

My uncle’s life is ruined too from drugs. Well both of my uncles. One of them got so deeply depressed from the pain killers he was OD ing on with a mix of some other drug, he tried killing himself with sleeping pills. He took the whole bottle. After about two weeks of not hearing from him my grandpa (his dad) went to his apartment to find him passed out on the couch. He slept for two weeks, and if my grandpa wouldn't have found him he would have died.

My other uncle cooked his brain from drugs. He did so much he now has a chemical imbalance in his brain which causes him to be instantly depressed or extremely angry. He’s been to the nut house a couple of times because he’s destroyed whole apartment rooms, smashed solid cast iron pans in two. So he’s basically a psychotic waiting to snap. And to end all this, all three my cousin and 2 uncles are on medication to supposedly help but it don’t.

Drugs ruin you. Right now my Mom is quitting smoking. She’s having a tough time but I keep praying that she will come through. From drugs I’ve lost part of my family, it’s too bad because at one time I really liked those people but now I can’t even have a conversation with them because its like talking to a zombie, there in front of you but nobody is home upstairs.
