Take my advice: ditch the weed, save your money and seek some form of counseling. There's obviously something nagging at you deep down inside, or you wouldn't have a need for the weed.

Not trying to knock you or anything, but man - what a waste. If you build cars as well as you claim to, imagine what you would be capable of if you would allow yourself to keep a clean and healthy mind. You are literally frying your brain cells to the point of no return (no, they do not regenerate... ever...).

im not standing up for this guy, but just because a person smokes weed does not mean they are hiding something, or hiding from something, it is not addicting, and really isnt 1/2 as bad as people say. you can become mentaly addicted(you THINK you need it) but it is not pysicial(like cigarettes, alchohal, and real drugs) its been proven that it dosnt actualy "fry" brain cells, it will kill modivation while you are stoned and make you eat lots of cookie dough if you do not know how to control it. i have a friend who smokes daily, but he knows how to manage himself, he's one of the best graphics designers i know for his age, goes to a very hard technical school for multimedia design, is a pro at 3d studio max, photoshop7 and maya (top of the line 3d rendering program) dosnt drink alchohal or smoke cig's and is in perfect physical health. no lack of endurance or modivation to do things. i have smoked before, i quit, i just didnt want to spend my money on it, i dont believe it ruins you, but to smoke and drive around i dont think is the greatest idea. it wond hinder your driving skills if you concentrate on what your doing, because it dosnt effect you the same way as alchohal. in california i read about a person getting pulled over for suspected DUI, was stoned, got a ticket, faught it and it was proven by medical doctors it dosnt impare motor skills. ask your doctor how bad weed is for you, they will probobly not answer, because its not canserous, and every recent lab test(ones that are done by freelace companys not funded by people who want bad results ie. the government) come back that it is fine for you. alchohal kills brain cells, will deteriorate the brain, and so on.. the THC in weed activates a chemical in your body. a "burn out" is someone who just smokes and dosnt care, the smoking didnt do it to them, but since they read that it will, they can just act like they dont care and be fine. look at alchohalics, its the same thing, but they get liver canser, or destroy their bodys, ruin relationships, fight, etc. the only way something bad happens from weed is the person thinking they are right steps in and says something they dont know. im going off on a rant and i know it, but i was very interested in the effects of it a few months back, and did ALOT of research. i can piss perfectly clean right now, and have no intentions of smoking any time soon, also, it is NOT a gateway drug, that was an anti-drug idea made up by the government to scare people. finaly... no one has ever died because of the effects weed does to you. not hating on anyone for their beliefs, but those are the facts i have found from medical research. if you have medical research done recently that proves me wrong, please, i am seriously very interested in it. this is a topic i try to stay out of, because it makes me come off as a stoner, which im not, but i enjoy reading about
