A Lesson I Wish I Had Learned. Enjoy Weed? Prevent Paranoia
I started smoking weed when I was 13 years old. For the first year or two, it was the best thing I had ever experienced, I couldn't get enough. At first it started like so many of us, being ripped off and buying what we thought was a gram but much smaller at in inflated price. Also the weed was weaker, normal grass or hash. Initially I felt a positive shift in my spirituality, mind, and body. I started to see the world in a different way, jokes became 10 times funnier, food was 100 times nicer and the feeling of being with a girl was amazing. Essentially everything was made more fun and exciting by the feeling of having a smoke. It opened my mind to many different ideas, thoughts and generally enhanced all experiences in my life.

Relief
August 8th, 2008 It's 8:00 am. My step father, mother, and I are in the doctor's office. I've just had blood work done and are awaiting the results. The doctor comes into the room with a serious look on his face, lacking his usual playful attitude. I've been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. It is eleven days away from my eleventh birthday. The rest of that day is a blur of lab work, education classes, shots, and paperwork. That was 9 years ago. Since that day I have had at least 3,650 syringe injections of insulin, 728 insulin pump sites, 19,710 finger sticks to check my blood sugar levels, and 270 doctor appointments, that's 30 a year. These numbers are a rough estimate, but I'm sure it's more.

Weed Should Be Legalized
Recreational marijuana users are looked down on by many people in society. People are called trashy, good for nothing, and “bums” because of their use of a plant. Marijuana has been proven to be less harmful than alcohol and cigarette use, so the underlying question is: why? Although cannabis has some effects to the usage of it, alcohol usage causes a greater effect, yet businesses allow it to be distributed without the blink of an eye. In the long run, the sale of weed will boost the economy and may lessen criminal charges that are added into the crime rate. Marijuana should be legal because it is proven to be less harmful than various substances sold daily in society and was made illegal because of poorly researched information by the government in the late 1800s to early 1900s.
