Marijuana Is A Harmful Drug

 

            
             Marijuana is an extremely harmful drug in which affects people's lives in drastic ways. The view on this drug is sometimes being perceived as positive, rather than negative. This relates to the reasoning in which people think marijuana is a harmless drug. .
             My past experience with marijuana helps provide the fact that marijuana is harmful to the body and the mind. I originally start smoking marijuana approximately one year ago while spending time with my friends. After that first time, I continued to smoke almost every weekend for quite some time. After a while, it turned into an everyday activity. I would smoke before I went to high school, leave and smoke during school, and later on after school had ended. At that point, marijuana was entirely taking over my life. This process continued for about another three months, until I realized I was psychologically addicted to pot. In order to be satisfied at the moment, I needed to be under the influence of this drug.
             Everything at that point in my life changed completely for me. I would never stay home and spend time with my family. I would almost always be out smoking pot. My group of friends changed from the intelligent athletes to the lazy "potheads". Although at the time, I didn't mind the drastic changes. As long as I was stoned I was only concerned with myself, and marijuana. I quit all the sports I used to play, my school grades dropped drastically, the communication between my parents and I decreased to almost nothing, and I found myself to be depressed when I was not stoned. That is when I began to realize this life-style was not that way I wanted to live. .
             My parents eventually realized I was psychologically addicted to marijuana and made an effort to help me think of a solution. After failing a few times, I have finally defeated my addiction. Although I have been clean of this drug for close to six months, I am still affected by marijuana to this day.
