Cannabis ruins you life????

[Urban]

when swim was 14, she tried weed for the first time. most of her friends outside of her school did it, and swim found it a great way to relax and socialise with them.

no one in school did it, or any drugs for that matter. no one ever pressured swim into doing it, she wanted to for herself.

swim was an A grade student who found work easy and did not need to try at all. she always got the A's, even if she had spent 5 minutes in the work.

swim was never a regular smoker, and she maybe smoked weed every second weekend if that. so as you can see, swim was not a "regular" or anything like that.

(what i am trying to do is build up a picture of swim so you will understand how drasticaly her life changed!)

anyway. swim had been smoking weed for about half a year.. on and off. she did not smoke that much, and towards the end of the half year, she almost stopped altogether.

anyway... swim went back to school after christmas and found all the work hard. she was constantly depressed and lacked motivation. she started to fail all her exams and refused to do any work. she bunked school and ended up leaving.

it was not just a "moody teenager" thing that swim was going through, it was different. swim changed in ways which no one understood, not even her.

swim is ok now but has messed up her life, leaving school without any qualifications...

swim tries to work out where it all went wrong and the only thing she can think of is the weed..... but! is this reaction not a bit OTT????? swim doubts wether it was the weed as this reaction seems so strange but... she cant put her finger on anything else. swim never had any trouble with her parents... nothing changed!!!!


swim was wondering if anyone else had a similar experence?!
