Pot’s Blog
What is POT?

I am 18 years old and am a sophomore at a university (graduated high school early). My boyfriend is 19 and he is a freshman at a community college. We have been together off and on (but mostly on) for the past two years.

Last night while sitting in his best friend’s garage smoking pot and doing absolutely nothing, and I know this seems overdramatic but I literally almost starting crying because I was bored and disgusted at what I was doing with my Saturday night. I realized that I am hanging out with a bunch of losers, and I realized that I have been unhappy for quite some time, but I guess I never really realized it or knew what to do about it.

I never realized it before, but I realize it now: I have lost alot of my girl friends, because I have spent my time hanging out with him and his friends (he always wanted to hang out). My other girl friends are away at other colleges, and I have a few girl friends at my university but I don’t hang out with them because I’ve been with my boyfriend.

Now, here’s the real dilemma. I’ve been considering breaking up with him for a couple weeks. BUT, in the beginning of our relationship he confessed to me that he has tried to kill himself multiple times in the past. I’m pretty sure he has depression and is probably a little bipolar too.

I’m scared that if I break up with him, he will try to kill himself again. It’s not that I don’t care about him, but I’m just tired of being in relationship. I haven’t really gotten to experience the college life because I keep hanging out with him. I lost alot of friends because I simply stopped hanging out with them to hang out with him. And most of all, I just can’t stand doing the same thing everytime with him. We never go out and do stuff, we literally SIT in his friends garage, smoke pot, and do nothing. I know alot of these things aren’t characteristics of my boyfriend himself, but it’s more so the situations he puts himself in, that make me feel like he’ll never change. But I keep putting up with it.

I know that if I break up with him he’s going to take it hard because the other day he wrote me a two page note ALL about how much he loved me and how happy I make him and how he wants to spend the rest of his life with me, etc etc.

I just don’t know what to do.

Just curious.

Does anyone who knows anything about pot honestly believe it should be illegal? I understand that some people don’t especially enjoy the effects of marijuana because it does not match every type of personality. But regardless of your personal opinions, do you believe that someone deserves to be treated as a criminal for doing such a thing as smoking pot in their own home, which causes harm to no one? If so, why?
