Drug abuse was also a part of my life from middle school until I was 21 years old. I think that a big part of me becoming addicted to drugs came from the type of boundaries, according to structural theory, that I had when I moved in with my parents. In my grandparents’ home I was never allowed to play with kids in the neighborhood, if I played outside, my grandma was always with me. My grandparents had very rigid boundaries and as a result began accusing me of doing drugs and smoking

My relationship with drugs first began during my senior year of high school. While most of my peers attended their first parties years earlier, my first was not until I was already 17 years old. I still remember feeling so cool for attending my first party and having my first sip of alcohol. The feeling of being drunk was unlike anything I had ever felt before. I felt liberated, like I could break out of my quiet shell and be that fun, goofy person that everyone wanted to hang out with. Prior to this night I had never used any type of substance, legal or illegal. Since then I have continued using alcohol while also trying various different types of drugs including caffeine, marijuana, tobacco, and adderall.

A drug is a substance that alters the mind, body or both. Drug use is an increasing problem among teenagers in colleges today. Most drug use begins in the preteen and teenage years, the years most crucial in the maturation process (Shiromoto 5). During these years adolescents are faced with difficult tasks of discovering their self identity, clarifying their sexual roles, assenting independence, learning to cope with authority and searching for goals that would give their lives meaning. Drugs are readily available, adolescents are curious and venerable, and there is peer pressure to experiment, and there is a temptation to escape from conflicts. The use of drugs by teenagers is the result of a combination of factors such as peer

I had my first psychedelic experience on that cold February day, 25I was the name. At the point I realized, I'm not a human having a spiritual experience, I'm a Spirit having a human experience. About a month went by when my problems started to again surface. Not knowing what to do I hit the Devil's Weed again, seemed like all the problems from the year before repeated. Getting caught again to running away how I stupid do I feel, but it got better I found someone on else Youtube who was the real deal. Who inspired me to become a vegan, and to let go of Pot. There message was all about Spirituality and God which I didn't believe in back then. Let's skip ahead a year to the 11th grade all is good,no bad friends, starting to love myself,but the addiction still was there in Gluttonous eating, lustful thinking, and I was power hungry searching for knowledge outside of myself. So I bit into the fruit of the apple like Adam and Eve, took two hits of 25D. To put into perspective this was my first Near death experience. The knowledge of the Universe was soaring thru my head. My brain to body reaction time was off by 3 seconds, and I'm going delusional in my bed, and my body feels like it wants to die. I can feel everything on the planet from children dying to animals suffering. So I prayed

It didn't take me long to realize I needed to get high. The chemicals of the blue dolphin I took, probably pressed with baby powder or some other hard drug clings to my veins telling me not to stop. PillReports.net says that they're mostly mixed with other substances and aren't pure MDMA (methylenedioxy-methamphetamine aka molly) but at this point I don't care. It takes at the most 3 days for ecstasy to leave your body via pee to pass a drug test, but the effects may last a life time. On the bright side, at least I haven't felt any of those effects besides depression and memory loss. It's only been 2 days since I've gotten high and 1 1/2 days since I've wanted to get high again because half of that day was spent on getting high. Online,

The coughing started immediately after I pulled my mouth away from the bong. Dillon was standing next to me holding the lighter and laughing his ass off. He grabbed the bowl and packed another one, there was no way I was gonna be able to handle this one. I wasn't even supposed to smoke that night. I came to the party 4 shots deep after killing a bottle of gatorade mixed with Grey Goose that I had stolen from my parents liquor cabinet. They didn't care if i drank as long as i was safe but they were hesitant about letting me have the good booze, that stuff i still had to sneak. I grabbed the lighter way from Dillon and ripped the entire thing, cause mama didn't raise a quitter. next thing I know I'm hanging over the back fence coughing out

It was almost fall so the leaves were not crunchy yet but they were not that flexible either. I grabbed a hand full and ran up to him for him to wipe his nose with them. Well as you can guess, that did not work. I then thought about the back door to the house. The bathroom is a direct shot from the back door. I quietly snuck into the back door and made my way to the bathroom. I got a hand full of toilet paper and ran back to my brother. I gave him the toilet paper to shove in his nose. We stayed outside for a few so it would give his nose time to stop

Students who only used the drug occasionally demonstrated a higher dropout rate. The study also found that students who smoked marijuana more than 17 days each month were two times as likely to drop out of college (Use of Marijuana Increases Chance of Dropping out of College). College students who smoked marijuana between three and 12 days a month were more likely than non-smoking peers to experience a gap in enrollment as well (Use of Marijuana Increases Chance of Dropping out of College). Results show that College students were also more likely to drop out of college while taking drugs if they also struggled with depression at the same time (Use of Marijuana Increases Chance of Dropping out of College). Medical studies have also shown that the left half of the brain may be permanently changed with use (Long Term Effects of Marijuana on the Brain). This can result in a host of mood-altering and behavioral issues. Marijuana is an addictive drug and is considered to be a gateway drug and a stepping stone for other illegal drugs. The first time a person uses marijuana will usually result in a sense of extreme happiness or high. However, over time tolerance to the drug begins after long-term use. Marijuana users will turn to other drugs to achieve the same state of happiness

Have you ever been curious in trying something new, like a drug and how it would make you react or feel towards it? I have. I was fifthteen years old when I first tried marijuana. Since then I’ve like the way it made me feel and how it had changed the person I am today. Although, my reaction when I first tried it wasn't what I expected. Of course it was my first time. I felt abnormal, but it was a feeling where it gave me a physical sensation and felt great about it. “I love marijuana”, because it makes me feel more focus on what I am doing, it helped me increase my level in creativity, and is a great source of painkillers.

I remember it was a friday morning. Me and a few good friends of mine at the time woke up pretty early around 7 am. We woke up on the floor of my friend malik's house. Malik’s parents weren’t living there at the time it was just him and his 2 older brothers, malik was 18 and 2 years older than us at the time his brothers were just a few years older. So they always had a lot of friends stay over, and man did we party a lot. We partied there just about every night of the summer so over time more and more people started to show. Eventually the whole high school caught wind of our party functions and it started getting out of hand we would have over a 60 people there and half of the people we wouldn’t even know. It got real crazy it being a party, of course the drugs started coming and there would be randoms in the party selling weed or pills to everyone

Drugs are heavily used throughout the entire world. However, it is important to understand and not undermine the variability in which drugs are used. It is clear some are for distinct medical treatment and others are for recreational use. In the United States, marijuana has been and continues to be a very controversial drug. Some states have allowed marijuana consumption for medicinal purposes, while others have completely outlawed the drug. Those who are against the legalization and regulation of marijuana suggest the economical and health risk associated with consumption of the drug are too high. Although there is risk involved with the legalization of the marijuana, our country has already been risking too much banning the drug.
