What holds power in your life?

My girlfriend holds power in my life because she is amazing, and i never want to lose her. I love her more than words can explain and I would do anything for her. She is the only girl I have ever loved this much. If she was about to get shot I would jump in front of the bullet because I can't stand to see her get hurt. Also, if someone is saying something about her or doesn't like her I will stand up for her. I don't like when dudes want to talk to her or try to get with her. I will fight anyone who tries to get with her. People say I'm whipped because I don't boss my girl around, but I'm not whipped I just love her enough to treat her with respect. Girls are people too. It's not like they are just a piece of property. That is why I have been with my girl for almost 1 year. She is the most important person in my life and I could never be this happy with someone else. So it is not whipped, it is just being a good boyfriend. So forget anyone who has a problem with it. I love you babe!

Many people would argue that people do drugs because they are pressured into it, but I think the real reason is so they can deal with pain.

A lot of people start doing drugs because they are pressured into it, but that don’t mean they should be criticized for doing drugs. Some people do start just to be cool and so their friends don’t get mad at them. Most people start off with smoking marijuana then they move to harder drugs like cocaine, crystal meth, prescription pills, cough syrup, or heroin. People think that marijuana is a gateway drug. They think that if someone starts smoking marijuana they are going to move to the harder drugs. Most people do actually move to harder drugs but that don’t mean everyone who smokes marijuana should be considered junkies. People need to try it before they criticize it. That is just like saying you don’t like a certain food without trying it. You don’t know if you like it or not until you try it. It might actually help you deal with some pain or make you feel better about something. So try it before you criticize it.

Some people start drugs so they can deal with pain, but after they start it is hard to quit. I started smoking Marijuana because my uncle hung himself and it was killing me slowly from the inside out. Marijuana has helped me cope with it and realize that he did it for a reason, and I will see him in Heaven when my time is up. I moved from marijuana to prescription pills and cough syrup. I tried it once and got hooked on it and couldn’t stop for a while. People do the harder drugs because they get addicted to it. I tried to stop the pills and cough syrup for a while and I couldn’t quit. Then I started dating Samantha Davidson and she said she didn’t like me popping pills and drinking cough syrup, so I quit because I love her and never want to lose her. She said she didn’t care about me smoking marijuana because I can’t overdose on it. It is really hard to quit unless you have a motivation there to help you. All you got to do is keep telling yourself that you don’t need it because when you think you need it that is when you are going to really need it. You are not really addicted to it, but you like it so much that you think you need it. If you tell yourself that you don’t need it then you won’t want it. Trust me I have been through the same thing as people who think they are addicted to drugs. You just have to tell yourself you don’t need it.

A lot of people start drugs because they are pressured into trying it and they like it. People also start drugs because they have pain they have that hurts them, so they do drugs because drugs take all your pain away. So don’t think people who do drugs are junkies, not all people who do drugs are junkies.

Why is the government so strict?

The government make a big deal about people who smoke weed but if you are drinking it is not a big deal to them. Alcohol is worse for you than weed. It would take longer for weed to ever kill you than drinking. When have you ever heard of anyone overdosing on marijuana? People who drink too much end up getting alcohol poisoning, but you can smoke as much marijuana as you want and you won't overdose or get hurt. You will just fall asleep or get really hungry. That is why marijuana is good for people who have eating disorders or have sleeping problems. So I think that people who have medical conditions should be able to use marijuana to help them. Marijuana helps with depression too. People who are depressed should smoke some weed and see if they are still depressed. It is a lot better than being on a bunch of pills.

Why do people burn leaves?

People burn leaves to get rid of them. No one wants to have to bag up the leaves and take them somewhere to get rid of them. It would be a lot easier to just burn them. It hurts the environment when you burn them but it is easier than taking leaves to a landfill. So i would just burn them but they are starting to ban that.

Why do cops assume that people are criminals based on their appearance?

Cops are always assuming that people who dress with baggy clothes are druggies and steal. Or they think that they can't trust them cause the way they look. If someone has a bunch of piercings the cops just think that they are some punk kid who doesn't want to listen to anyone. Half the time it is true. But seriously who likes being told what to do? No one wants to have to do everything the cops say. The cops think that they can say whatever they want to a kid and get away with it because they have a stupid badge. I have had a cop almost punch me in the face cause I called him a pig. And I was in handcuffs when he did that to! I think that cops need to get in trouble for what they do to. Some cops do worse things than the kids they arrest. I mean cops get to shoot people and if a regular person shot someone they would go to prison for a long time. Cops don't get in trouble for anything they do cause they just make up a story and everyone believes them over the kid just cause they are the law. Even they judge believes them. When the kid tries to explain their side of the story the cops and judge never believe you so there is no point in trying to fight with the law. Even if they are wrong they won't believe you unless you have solid proof that they are wrong!

Government

As part of Team 3, I am excited to be blogging this year on the topic of co-existence. I think that cops and the government need to be smarter. The government made Marijuana illegal because they think that it kills people. People can get lung cancer off marijuana, but they can also get lung cancer off cigarettes and cigarettes are perfectly legal. You can't overdose on marijuana. The government just don't like it cause it alters you mind and makes you see things differently. I think that marijuana was put on this earth so the people can smoke it. Marijuana is a natural plant that just grows how it does. It's not like it is chemically mixed and as dangerous as other drugs in this world. You can buy tylenol pm's but if you take enough of those you can overdose and either die or end up in the hospital. You can't overdose on marijuana! I think it is very stupid how people think that people who use Marijuana are low-lifes who are never going to amount to anything. That is not true, Look at all the famous rappers who have millions of dollars. Most of them smoke Marijuana and they are living their lives better than most people. They rap about Marijuana so that they can spread the word about how Marijuana is a plant, and how it doesn't kill you. I personally think that God put Marijuana on Earth so that people would smoke it and see things in a positive view all the time. When you are high you don't get stressed out about the things you would when you are sober. Alcohol is a lot worse than Marijuana. You can get alcohol poisoning off of alcohol. Tell me when you have ever seen someone end up in the hospital from smoking weed. They might have smoked weed and done other drugs with it to end up in the hospital! Marijuana helps people with aids survive. Aids makes you not want to eat and you die from starvation, but if you smoke weed you get the munchies and want to eat. That helps you not starve to death. I know for a fact cause i had an uncle with aids and he smoked weed just to survive. Then when he stopped he wouldn't eat anything and he died about 2 weeks later. So no one can say that weed don't help people cause I have seen weed help someone.
