that "wrong crowd" were my best friends, we grew up together...so yeah, that wrong crowd is everywhere.

Having said all that I guess I and others I know are "the excepion" to this supposed rule (of marijuana leading to harder drugs) because Iv'e been smoking pot off and on for years and never touched or "had the desire to touch" anything else. I work full time, have a family, a relationship with God and (know better) to try something else?...these people made a choice to take it to the next level initially...I feel bad for them but everything they did was an "initial" choice.

Pot is an anti anxiety (non prescription) drug for me. I don't do it all the time and If I feel that I am? then I know there's something more stressful going on and so I attempt (and succeed) in solving it with with prayer and talking to friends and family, getting to the root of the problem, instead of just smoking a J. It can become something one could easily depend on (physcologically) thus creating a "crutch" instead of dealing w/ the problem; and thats the danger. But It's not a sin.

Hey everyone, I too am an opiate addict. I was using IV heroin everyday for over 4 years. I got on suboxone at first without insurance and had to pay $7 per pill for 90 pills per month plus Dr. fees, which cost a lot per month just to stay clean. I've since gotten great insurance which allows me to get all my suboxone for free and I have a lot of extra suboxone scripts left over. I am willing to help anybody out who wants to get clean but doesn't have the funds to do it. Send me a msg!

i understand all these ppl...thier stories of starting drugs are very similer to my own addiction

[MAKER6450]

being an addict for almost 10 years, i know that everyones drug addiction starts with marijuana or booze, mainly weed tho.

if you dont agree with me then i dont care, if youre a pot smoker and dont like what i said then i dont care, dont reply with your bullshit weed comments, there all the same.

[MAKER6450]

its more the "fear" of drugs, we are told from a very young age that drugs are bad and they can kill you.

well when you start smoking pot, it opens the gate, you get over that fear of drug taking and you think weed is all ok.

once youre over the fear of getting high for your first time, well, there is no stopping after that, you go up a leval.

for most ppl anyway.
