Because I Got High..
by: admin | Thursday, 4 March 2010
How long have you been blazin’?
I’ve been smoking weed for about 7 years now.
When did you first try it?
I smoked weed for the first time, when I saw my big brother rolling up a spliff, I asked him to draw me in and at first he was reluctant but after I asked him a few times he let me get high.
How often would you say you do it?
I smoke about two to three spliffs a day there’s times when I smoke more than that but that’s the average.
Why?
At first it was cos I thought it was cool, the sensation of been high was a new experience and something a lot of my friends were doing. I smoke weed now because I feel that if I don’t smoke I’m not myself, it’s almost to the point that being high is my sober state!
Do you think it has affected your life in any way, negative or positive, your ability to hold down a job, maintain relationships, both friendly and romantic?
Well since I started working I was already smoking so the effects haven’t been so obvious, my career as a DJ has not been affected if anything it allows me to get a better feeling on the beats. However I have noticed that when I don’t smoke I don’t feel right, the negative aspect of blazing is that a lot of money is spent and your memories starts to fade away… Not everything but there’s times you do stuff that takes you a while to remember, ‘specially if your high..See my dilemma?
Do you do any other drugs?
To be honest I’m a weed man, I have experimented with one or two different drugs but weed is my thing, I’m not interested in anything that’s not green.
Do your close friends also do weed?
My closest circle of friends do smoke weed, however there are some that have cut down a lot and there’s others that stopped for good.
How do you rationalise the habit then?
My opinion on doing weed is that if you do it in moderation its okay , if it becomes a daily ritual then you’re fucked, ‘specially if you are smoking skunk , as it’s much stronger and the chemicals damage your organs a lot more than weed. If you smoke weed daily, slowly you get hooked and there will come a time that you’re gonna wanna stop and you find yourself in a hole that is really hard to get out of… But weed its not all bad it’s not like you can overdose from it or become violent like alcohol… and when done from time to time is alright and relaxing, you be amazed the things you think of and do while your high.. lol, there’s far worse drugs out there!
Do you consider yourself addicted?
Yes.
What is your opinion of weed?
Best plant that exist on this planet.
Do you ever see yourself quitting?
I do see myself cutting down a lot… maybe to the point of doing it a few times a month but to be honest quitting doesn’t seem like its going to happen any time soon… it would be nice though!
