I want to share this with anyone who smokes cannabis regularly. I’ve been smoking cannabis for most of my teens, and all the while I have always been nervous about the affect it has been having on me. I have found it hard to decide if weed is as serious a risk as it is made out to be, or whether it is can be smoked regularly without any dangerous side affects.

I don’t think people who smoke cannabis worry about its affect on this life’s because the affects are never obvious or apparent, instead happening gradually. This makes it easy for anyone over time to slip into a stoner lifestyle. For me this involved going out with my mates every night simply to smoke a joint.

I believe weed can affect your motivation and therefore have an effect on what you can accomplish in your life. It is apparent that without weed, my friends and I would have moved out of your parents by now and could have actual careers.

My advice to anyone who is starting to smoke cannabis, or any drug at all, is not to make it a life-style choice. It isn’t right to be dependent on drugs when you seek thrills or relaxation.
