Failed and couldn't move up a grade unless you went to summer school? Why am I not surprised. Jill |

We did smoke pot before class pretty much every day. 9th and 10th grade, I smoked pot as soon as I got up, and every few hours. The only time when I was not high on weed was when I was tripping on acid, or on those rare occasions when there wasn't any to be bought anywhere we knew to buy it. --Bryan |

Nope! Cannabis is NOT addictive, unlike alcohol, nicotine, cocaine, opiates, etc. And major psychedelics like LSD, psilocybin, peyote, etc are actually cross tolerant with themselves, meaning the more often you take them, the less of an effect they have. I once tripped on LSD three times in a week, with the most of an effect the first, then less effect the second and less even more the third day. John Kuthe... |

I was never a slacker, just easily bored. One elementary school teacher I has recognizes this on what were called the SRA cards we were supposed to do in order and she asked me why I was not doing them in order and I told her they were boring, so she skipped me way ahead to the harder later ones which were not boring to me.

Cannabis is NOT addictive, unlike alcohol, nicotine, cocaine, opiates, etc. > You are wrong as per your usual: https://www.drugabuse.gov/publicatio...uana-addictive Marijuana Research Report Is marijuana addictive? "Marijuana use can lead to the development of problem use, known as a marijuana use disorder, which takes the form of addiction in severe cases. Recent data suggest that 30% of those who use marijuana may have some degree of marijuana use disorder.18 People who begin using marijuana before the age of 18 are four to seven times more likely to develop a marijuana use disorder than adults.19 Marijuana use disorders are often associated with dependence€”in which a person feels withdrawal symptoms when not taking the drug. People who use marijuana frequently often report irritability, mood and sleep difficulties, decreased appetite, cravings, restlessness, and/or various forms of physical discomfort that peak within the first week after quitting and last up to 2 weeks.20,21 Marijuana dependence occurs when the brain adapts to large amounts of the drug by reducing production of and sensitivity to its own endocannabinoid neurotransmitters.22,23 Marijuana use disorder becomes addiction when the person cannot stop using the drug even though it interferes with many aspects of his or her life. Estimates of the number of people addicted to marijuana are controversial, in part because epidemiological studies of substance use often use dependence as a proxy for addiction even though it is possible to be dependent without being addicted. Those studies suggest that 9% of people who use marijuana will become dependent on it,24,25 rising to about 17% in those who start using in their teens.26,27 In 2015, about 4.0 million people in the United States met the diagnostic criteria for a marijuana use disorder;3 138,000 voluntarily sought treatment for their marijuana use.28 Rising Potency Marijuana potency, as detected in confiscated samples, has steadily increased over the past few decades. In the early 1990s, the average THC content in confiscated marijuana samples was less than 4%.2 In 2018, it was more than 15%.29 Marijuana concentrates can have much higher levels of THC (see Marijuana Concentrates DrugFacts). The increasing potency of marijuana, combined with the use of high-THC concentrates, raises concerns that the consequences of marijuana use today could be worse than in the past, particularly among those who are new to marijuana use and in young people, whose brains are still developing (see "What are marijuanas long-term effects on the brain?"). Researchers do not yet know the full extent of the consequences when the body and brain (especially the developing brain) are exposed to high concentrations of THC or whether the recent increases in emergency department visits by people testing positive for marijuana are related to rising potency. The extent to which people adjust for increased potency by using less or by smoking it differently is also unknown. Recent studies suggest that experienced people may adjust the amount they smoke and how much they inhale based on the believed strength of the marijuana they are using, but they are not able to fully compensate for variations in potency.30,31.." </> |

Of course. I was a genius, and that's no exaggeration. Three years of heavy pot smoking dulled me down, but I needed that. It was self medication, and it worked well. It wasn't just sloppiness. For example, when most kids are about to turn 16, they're excited about getting to drive. Me? No way. I thought, I smoke pot seven times a day, and drink whenever I can get my hands on alcohol, and I have no business having a driver license. I even took driver ed in high school, because I knew that one day I'd probably drive. The next semester, spring of my sophomore year, I got special permission to take the GED, even though I was only 16, and after the principal granted permission, he ask that I quit attending school, because he was 100% certain that I'd pass the test. The night before the test, I stayed at my sister's apartment, because it was walking distance from the place they gave the test. On the way there, I smoked an absolutely giant joint, rolled in a strawberry Reefer Roller. and with several blocks to go, a brother was walking toward me on the sidewalk, and I asked him if he wanted the rest of the joint. He took it and thanked me, and I continued to the test place. When I got there, they wanted ID, which I didn't have because I never got a license. I was like, "Man, this sucks. I was all downcast and shaking my head in my old blue jean jacket with stuff written all over it in Magic marker, and the person said, rather contemptuously, "Go ahead. Nobody would have you take their test for them." More than likely, I scored higher than anyone else in the room. In June, I got the results, and immediately told my mother that I wanted to start paying room and board. She said that I didn't have to because I was just working a minimum wage job at the car wash. I insisted on at least paying a small amount, because I was no longer in school. That autumn, I got a better job through a job training program, and then I met my first girlfriend, whereupon I stopped smoking weed completely. I know longer wanted the world dulled. I didn't touch the stuff for at least 6 months, and when I finally smoked again with some of my old friends, I didn't even like it anymore. Yeah, I've probably smoked pot ~100 times since then, and I started drinking again, and doing other drugs, but before I turned 19, I had worked my way into a department manager job on the cleaning crew of a retail store. I still didn't get a driver license, because I had a decent paying job, a monthly transit pass, and still had the spectacular girlfriend. Plus, I was the front man for the first punk rock band in St. Louis. Eventually the girlfriend broke up with me because of the alcohol and drug use, and I was devastated, and went through months of dark brown depression until GF #2. That lasted a few years, and I continued to drink through it all. When that ended, I was again miserable until I met GF #3 (Betsy), whom I have been married to for 34 years. I continued to drink huge amounts of beer, but the first Christmas after getting together with Betsy, her parents gave me the present of a class at community college, and after a few years, I graduated with perfect grades. I continued to drink a lot of beer, but a bit less every year, and stayed functional, and fast forward three decades, and I'm still an alcohol addict, and am certainly no longer a genius, but I *am* alive, and pretty darned happy. I haven't taken a straight shot of liquor for 21 years, and only drink beer and wine, and only in the evening. For all my ****edupness, I have a very happy marriage and a great son, and while I'm overweight and nowhere near as smart as I was, I've had a pretty good life. I'm financially secure, and earn a living wage with good medical insurance, working a job that I absolutely excel in, and would really like if it didn't expose me to the risk of contracting Covid-19. I still feel like I need the alcohol, though I still continue to taper down, however slowly, and other than being overweight, my health is rather good for a 59 year-old. My family physician, whom I have been seeing for 30+ years agrees, and he also agreed (at my last visit) that he has never known anyone who was as much of an underachiever as me. Even with that, I have been in a band that made a unique album, and have written a novel that could only be self published because there really isn't a commercial niche for a literary romantic comedy. So yes, my drug use has had both continuing and long-term effects, but I'm in a pretty good place right now, and am poised to start working on seriously reducing my alcohol use and my overeating. My underachieving has been a greater loss to society than to myself, but I've worked hard, and have never been a parasite, just underemployed. You should read my book. Ophelia's husband read the first chapter, and described me as "a very good writer," though it wasn't the sort of storyline that interested him, and he is, *himself*, a writer. It's free, funny, challenges social norms, and might well make you cry. https://www.lulu.com/en/us/shop/brya...-176j5weg.html $0.00 --Bryan |

I could read at college freshman level in 3rd grade, though I was far from being able to write at that level. 6th grade English taught me the fundamentals of grammar, and there is definitely value in learning diagram a sentence. In strict expository writing, paragraphs should be succinct, with leading sentences and closing sentences that draw upon the previous paragraph and set up a transition to the next paragraph, respectively. I used to get paid to tutor those skills, but that was many years and beers ago. > > John Kuthe... --Bryan |

I would never own a gun because I don't trust myself to use it responsibly. Gun are certainly fun though. Just don't ever buy your wife or girlfriend a gun. That's just asking for trouble. Thank you. As far as boring people to death, I don't care about that - just as long as I don't bore myself to death. That, I cannot abide by. |

It's impossible to parse what aspects of my style of writing has to do with drug use. I am what I am, and every experience I've had has led me to this very moment. Drug use plays a minor role in the novel. I hope that you'll read it all the way through, and give the Velveteen Rabbits life. --Bryan |

My granddaughter's auntie killed herself with one. 2 of my wife's cousins killed themselves with one - not the same one, of course. My wife is ****ed off at her brother because he gave his nieces and a nephews rifles. My brother-in-law is thinking that hoards of left wing protesters are going to be banging down his door! That's kind of creepy. |
