Addicted... to Pot?

[Tegann]

Is that even bad? I know I am addicted... or am I? I don't even know.  I only know I've never EVER felt so content in my life and it's the only thing that can ever calm me down THAT much.  But should I quit?  I know this probably isn't supposed to be asked here, and it's probably stupid of me to ask.. but I wanna know.  What's gonna happen if I keep on smoking?   What are the health risks? Is it even bad for me?   Because honestly, I don't see the difference between smoking a little marijuana and taking anti-depressants.  Anti-depressants are dangerous too! You ever heard the side effects on those things?  But the point is I don't wanna stop, and I'm really not sure what to do.. I'm not sure if this even made sense to any of you.. but.. thanks for replying if you do, thanks for reading if you did, and sorry for taking up your time!

Seems you are struggling with this.  You are only 16 yrs old and you say this is the only thing that makes you content.  What is going on in your life that is so stressful?

It isn't good to do it long term, it will kill brain cells, and the actual lighting of the weed can cause cancer,, the main danger is in the burn of the product,, people also call it the "gate way drug because it can lead to wanting to try other highs,, It is definaly the safest out of the options of highs,,, The longer that you use pot if that is your drug of choice the harder it is to give up.. any substance that is mind altering can lead to addiction,, , If you had to get a high pot would be the safest,,, any thing harsher than that and you're playing with death,, make sure you look into any drug before considering trying anything,, It was very brave to have asked this question.. if you have any other questions about what a drug will do to you feel free to send me a message,,,
