Not so much pressure as influence

I can’t believe it’s only Thursday.

The week has been so slow.

I think Mollie is talking to me again. This has greatly helped my mood.

I made up my mind today. I’m going to try pot. On Saturday a group of my friends are getting together. Peter is going to try it for the first time. When we were together he was extremely anti-drug. Alexis is going to do it for the first time. Eric is going to be there. It won’t be his first time, but just a couple months ago he was all ‘straight-edge.’ My mom admitted during my birthday dinner to trying it once. So I’m going to do it. Last week was such a shitty week that I kept thinking how nice it would be to lose my mind for awhile. Now I have the chance. Actually, I don’t expect to get high the first time, but that’s alright- it’s a social activity anyway. Alexis will be spending the night at my house afterwards. We’ll probably try and go straight up to my room in that case…

I’ve heard from sources that you don’t get high the first time… but I haven’t tried it. I had the opportunity but didn’t take it. I just have to say good luck, because i’m going to judge you on wanting to try it cause I think everyone has at least thought about it.

Just be careful it doesn’t become a regular escape. You’re an awesome person and I know you can do a lot with your life. (With all the potheads and drug labs in Vancouver that waft fumes through the air, I’m surprised I haven’t been high yet!)

I’m not gonna discourage you from doing it. At the being of the semester, I got high and drunk a lot from the pressure of everything, after a while, I realized that I didn’t need that stuff to be strong I already was, just like you are. Glad you and Mollie are cool-ish again.
