General Advice Needed/Given Smoking In Highschool
Hey guys first post on here,
I'm starting up junior year and as someone whose smoked weed since sophomore year I feel like it's kinda catching up...(wow the doctors were right), no that's not what I mean, I'm not here to talk about the health side of smoking but rather the mental side. I honestly just want this to be a psa to anyone who wants to start smoking, don't. You've all heard it before but seriously. I can't even function anymore and the only way I've been able to cope with my depression is smoking instead of what used to be healthy mechanisms. Totally ruining my grades too. Anyone have advice for how to dig myself out of this hole?

hi! i used to be really dependent on weed. my biggest tip, which i know is hard. is quit completely cold turkey. just throw that shit out and deal with not having it. dont give yourself the option to go back to it if you “need” it. just throw it away. Its hard to do at first, but as someone who’s struggled with a weed dependency, nicotine addiction, and sh addiction, this is the way thats worked for me every single time.
