Pineapple Express

I went to the movies yesterday and I watched Pineapple Express. All my friends said this movie was hilarious and that I should see it, and I agree it was funny. Basically the whole movie has got so much weed in it and most of the time during the movie they are high. But what I was wondering, they showed the drug dealers house and he had like bags and bags of weed everywhere in house like in drawers everywhere. Is that how some drug dealer’s houses are? Or is it just because it’s a movie?

I always spend time with god in the afternoon when I get home from work and again at night before I sleep. I dont spend only a minute or so I take my time. I thank him for everything that I have and pray for help in areas I'm struggeling with. Many of my friends have screwed me over but God not only sticks with me but helps me overcome the heartache. I'm glad you realised that you need to spend more time with God and I hope you really do start doing that.

I was 12 when I first tried it and I never liked it. The first puff gave me a high but after that i didn't like it anymore.

its really good that you stopped before your addiction became serious. You could've been doing much more than stealing a few pills here and there. Have you heard those stories about all those peple who steal from pharmacies to clench their cravings.
a man tried to amputate his own arm!!

In Modesto CA a man tried to cut off his own arm. He was sitting in a Denny’s restaurant late on Friday night and started stabbing himself in one arm with a butter knife he grabbed from the table. That knife of course didn’t work so he went into the kitchen and took a butcher knife and dug it into his arm. Hr thought he had injected air into a vein while shooting cocaine and feared he would die unless he took drastic action. He was taken to the hospital for severe cuts.
Lol I found this story kind of funny. But imagine how much he must’ve been trippin out to actually try to amputate his arm!

I guess this could be like a miracle for some addicts. Are there any side effects?

I think her doctor shouldve also asked her about former addiction problems. If she needs to take it and she has no other choices then I think she should have someone monitoring her and giving her the pills instad of her taking them on her own.

I've had to take anxiety pills and painkillers and I could drive fine on those. And I actually felt like I could concentrate more.. But I also feel that way when I'm high.

I think this is a very good idea and it could help get people stay sober. Your not only letting them experience an experience of a lifetime but also showing them that there are other much much better things to do and while your sober also.

I was like this when I was younger. Id sit smell my hands and if they dont smell like soap I'd go wash. And I was picky about the type of soap it was. It had to have a scent and a scent that I liked. But i washed so much that my hands startd getting really ashy and crusty. then I started putting lotion and washing but after I while I just gave it al up and now I wash normal amount.

The Bottle

you see the bottle,
and don't no what to do
you want some,
but you don't know what will happen to you
your mind says go ahead,
one will be fine
but you know what happens when you cross that line
you keep trying to convince yourself that it will be alright
but you know it will take control,
no matter how hard you fight
your will becomes weaker,
and the temptations start to grow
your resentments are winning,
and your victories are low
you convince yourself its ok,
and finally give in
another loss for you, and for the bottle
another win

You're more than just a brother to me,
You are my hero, but you might not see.
I care about you more than you could know,
But sometimes I get mad at you and it just doesn't show.

You found someone you loved and she loves you back,
It was true love, it's as simple as that.
You were with her every chance you could,
I missed hanging out with you but you never understood.

You hung out with the crowd and got hooked on drugs,
You started to forget about the things that you loved.
Baseball and sports was what you would do,
But alcohol and drugs was what you would choose.

You changed your life around, grew up and moved away,
But you are my hero and that will never change.
