My mom thought I was bound for a mental asylum or a heroin addiction when she found out I smoked pot at the age of 18. I've smoked now for 19 years (and used mushrooms, LSD, DMT and salvia) and have worked all of that time, served in the military, have a beautiful wife and three kids, have built my own house, and have a bachelors degree in biochemistry. And I have never been in trouble with the police. I may some day admit to her that I never stopped smoking pot, but I really don't think she'll believe me anyway, shes been brainwashed like so many others.

Hillarious! Back in those days you had to smoke four joints to get any effect, because most of the pot sold was actually wild hemp. It also looks like this fellow had a pre-exsting problem that he was self-medicating to alleviate. Now I know where the people at pushingback.com and theantidrug.com got their material! Hillarious!

Many people smoke marijuana and are still fully capable of keeping a rewarding, successful lifestyle. Also, one does not usually hallucinate from regular marijuana, no matter how large the dose! This story sounds a little too far'fetched to me. This is completely, 100% bullshit. Many people smoke marijuana and are still fully capable of keeping a rewarding, successful lifestyle.

Now a third smoke … a fourth. This time my hands feel huge, my feet miles away. I’m afraid to step out of the chair. A small downward step is like a deep plunge into a dark abyss.
