POT USE LED TO A WASTED LIFE

I still remember trying marijuana like it was yesterday. I was about 
eight or 10 years old. People told me it would lead to other stronger 
drugs. Of course I never believed it. Besides I swore I'd never let a 
drug control my life.

Now here I am with a wasted life. Because it did lead to harder drugs.

After ending up a heroin addict, it took me 46 years to get a handle 
on my sickness (addiction). Once you start, it's so hard to stop.

Weed should not be sold in stores on every street corner when it's 
legalized. Strict laws should apply because it's an accident waiting to happen.
