once upon a time

im going to give it up now.. forever and start a new life without smoke.. as i walk and look at the stars

10 meter walk to my house but im feeling elated at my new desire to care more about myself.. i came to this town to get away from drugs and when i first came here it was like seeing my heart.. it was impossible to find weed anywhere and it was hard because i have never realy let it go.. but now just before my door stand two shadowy figures.. they are met with feelings of foreboding regret a mindless greed and a knowing of whats to come.. they offer weed and i say yes.. a deep sinking feeling.. of the joy in me iv replaced and the endless cycle.. i feel sick...

so i buy it but wrap it up and hide it swearing to end my disease

the hunger of it.. the pain.. the want.. is just my will.. will i never let it go..

some would love this stuff forever.. but i am cursed by its emptiness.. i fear the smoke..

i guess i need to vent these emotions.. idk why but i feel like im wasted potential of something.. not wealth.. not sure what.. just not this

Sometimes we need to experience what we are not to become what we are.

Also, it's reputation and surrounding culture hasn't caught up to the modern reality of the plant - which is now a far, far cry from it's origins. It's not the hippy supplement that mellows mom and pops out anymore. It's more often a genetically modified chemical mutant bred to get you more and more fucked up, with no regard for the consequences that has on the user. And why would the gangsters, corporate or otherwise, care about the long term effects of something they're only doing for (questionable) profit?

Shit's just not nearly as cool as it used to be, SmokeDragon.

allot of kids dont know what there getting into.. if drugs replace the drive to understand there feelings then on occasion it can turn into a escape addiction and then problems in life might build up. legalizing it would reduce the harm people would be exposed to with things like street weed and dodgy dealings

I have seen an interesting explanation on how legalization in the US lead to increase concentrations of THC in the products sold. This seems to have been an effect of regular user becoming less sensitive to effects, but being the majority of buyers hence the companies produced higher concentration products, ignoring the more occasional users.

Not sure how can that be fixed, but calling "weed" the whole range of products sold is definitely not helping (or any of the funky names that are more or less just for marketing). It's like calling Absinthe and Beer just "alcohol". They are really two very different things...

What I think would be nice would be for people to be able buy products that are independently tested for the concentrations of substances (THC, CBD, etc.)
