I know it's none of my business Fatman, but I used to live in places where all people done was smoke pot, etc. It isn't good for you, I've seen what it does to people. It'll give you long term panic attacks, paranoia and so forth.
There is only one way you can change life and that's by doing it yourself. If your not determined, you won't succeed. I suffered from depression for about 2 years, until I finally got a slap in the face from my ex, who made me see the brighter picture.
Now I don't have a negative outlook on life, I just chill, drift with peeps on GT5 and have a good time. Believe me, I've been right down to the nitty gritty stuff. I've done all the slashing wrists, having thoughts about suicide stuff, etc. I broke up most of my mums relationships because of my negative attitude and it's only when you see a loved one crying is when it really hits home.
Seriously dude, life isn't bad even in our corrupted society. There is always happiness near. 👍
