Just to let you all know...
I just want everyone to know that you shouldn't believe all the propaganda that the governement come up with about Cannibis, I'm 16 now, i've been smoking cannibis since i was about 13, it has not affected me in anyway, i've never had a bad experience with it. I smoke it pretty much every weekend, sometimes during the week, the only thing that it's done to me is made me put on a few pounds by eating too much!

Cannabis can mess with your mind..
Last night was one of the worst nights of my life. I don’t like tobacco and I have smoked weed a few times in the past and quite enjoyed it- it was relaxing.

Pressured into smoking cannabis.
I started smoking cannabis at 12 due to peer pressure. The first time I only had a small amount of a joint and didn’t have much effect the second time it did.

MDMA has taken over my life
My friends and I take MDMA regularly. The first time I tried it, it felt like magic. I was in a completely different world, loving everyone and everything around me.

I only tried cannabis once.
It was a normal night at the local park with our crew until a girl from a rough area, near where we live, came down. She recognised a few of us from a festival.

My friends problem
Once upon a time me and a friend started smoking weed. It was good, we enjoyed it without a doubt, so we continued over the next year. Come September time me and him both failed our AS-Levels, I blame the weed. We were given the chance to resit the year, so we did, difference was I was off the weed and my friend stayed on it. Another year passed, I'd stayed clean, but my friend had gone from smoking weed on weekends to smoking every night.

A life of drugs landed me in a psychiatric unit
My name is Pete. I started smoking cannabis when I was 12 years old. People told me it was a ‘gateway’ drug and the truth is, any drug in the world can be a gateway drug.

Heartbroken over heroin addict Mum
I was about thirteen years old when I found a bottle of methadone in the kitchen cupboard. I recognised the name as I always had my head in my Mum’s magazines.

my son and drugs
My son is 19 at the moment and I am so scared he will not see his next birthday due to his habit. As a mother you go through many tough times but with this I am out of my depth. he tell me he has it under control but where any sort of drugs are concerned you never have it under control it controls you. He cannot even be honest with himself yet and until he can admit it to himself he will continue to go downhill. This just makes me feel a failure as a parent. I know its his choice to take drugs but he got his guidance from me when he was younger.
