here is an experience i've witnessed inperson and actually lived really harsh days watching my friends ruin there life.
here in cairo, hash, weed, and xtc pills are more than abundent. heroin and cocaine too but its really targeted for high income teens. i,e a teen who has unlimited access to cash either from his parents directly or from stealing at later stages.
i dont mean to be a party wrecker or anything but i honestly believe this post can help people learn that not everything should be overused, ie abused.
my closet friends at uni are hash lovers, and xtv pill lovers. they smoke up every single day of the year including holy occasions such as ramadan they dont care as long as they get there head high. i though its just a phase they r in and it will soon grow out but i was mistakened. they kept smoking up for the past three years. no matter how hard i try to convince them that its ruining there life they never listened to me. i will be very honest i did try hash once, and i did it cos i was very depressed cos of an issue that had to do with me personally and i can tell u it cheered me up but after i retirned back from lala land i realized i still had the problem and nothing has changed so basically if some one tries to convince u that it makes u view the world in a different way they r making a fool out of yr self cos it just blinds u from the real world and the real problems.
i have been to funerals of people my age who unfortunetly lost there lives cos they were too high and drove there cars. so have my current friends who smoke up but this doesnt effect them in fact they smoke up more just to get there heads of the issue.
i can tell u now that my current friends have no life, in fact they dont go out just to save 50 eygptain pounds to get the hash they will smoke up for the day. they look like ghosts it has even changed there personalities and the way the look at life. believe it or not the happy state u get when u smoke the couple of few month just faded and is replaced by depression. i dont think it worth it if thats the end result.
apart from there social life ruined, there education just flops, they dont attend there classes just cos they want to smoke up. althought one of the guys admits to me he graduated bec hash made his boring lectures pass by sooooo fast. i dont know but i think its bull shit.
there self image is ruined too after all hash is a drug and at the end of the day u r a drug addict. i honeslty believe hash is addictive and as u can see from what i wrote it is. these guys tried to quit but with out any use they just cant live with out it.
i ve seen people snif cocaine and i saw them after they went to rehab may god forbid its not a pleasent view to watch a person who is yr age go to one of these clinics and the amount of pain he goes thru trying to quit and the ironic thing is they return back to it after they get out.
my advice is try it if u want but dont get hooked on it, dont make it the thing that makes u live each day cos all u r doing is ruining yr health and damaging yr social life. its not really worth it.
