Eh, I smoked pot in college. It was alright but it just made me lazy and hungry. Not a good combo for a girl. That = fat.

But, I never did anything else. Too scared.

I'm a smoker and I have an addictive personality. Part of the reason I never did anything harder was fear of becoming an addict.

I truly believe some people have a larger propensity for addiction.

I was prescribed anti-anxiety meds for a while and coming off of them was absolute hell. I feel for anyone struggling with a real long term addiction.

It could happen to most anyone and most folks are too ashamed to get help.

I could go on and on about the "War on Drugs" and how the legal system and no tolerance approach has obviously failed, but there is a reason I don't post on the poli board.

Alot tried and did in college. Most grow out of it. Some like you say have addictive personalities and move on and into other things. Therein lies the danger. And like I said, some get addicted from using it in a prescribed legit way, and those are the ones with a propensity for addictions. Like I said, I don't look down on anyone, just find it tragic when something like this happens when it could have been avoided.
