Ironically, there is a terrific South Park episode (season 9, "Bloody Mary") that almost exactly coincides with this way of thinking.

I'm not saying that the advice posted here is wrong, but Woods, please remember that this is just one person's opinion. Lots of people find AA and NA to be very useful. I don't believe it's as easy as just 'stopping' because many people have a very difficult time kicking drug and alcohol habits. I think you're smart to be concerned about yourself this early in the game. It's almost like you recognize a potential habit that YOU might have to mood enhancers.

I'm not anti-marijuana, but everything has its time and place. School is not one of them. Sounds to me as though you're looking for some kind of way to escape, and IMO, that is NOT a good reason for smoking pot.

I'm glad that you're seeking help and are realizing that it's not the right thing for you. If you feel that you're susceptible to psychological addiction, then definitely stay away.

Good luck, Woods
