Hungry for more

Hungry for more

By Henry Whys

The person is being asked questions about how marijuana felt on stage. The person explains how they feel deep within. Must be brought across with emotion and feeling, comedy must be added very lightly and in the necessary parts.

The feeling? Well the feeling was- something different. I didn't feel anything I just spaced out and I felt...different. It just didn't feel like I was there, like I was up in the clouds somewhere. It was really good at first, I took it only occasionally to keep me happy when I was bored or depressed. But then...

But then it became an addiction, I had to have it every once in a while, and didn't spend time with my family or friends because I was so addicted. I didn't want them to know, I didn't want them to look down on me in shame. After all, who is impressed to have a druggee as there brother or friend? The marijuana was lifting me away from all that. The sensation was amazing. It kept me alive, it kept me breathing, it kept me happy.

All I ever wanted as a little kid was to feel happy. I loved all the good emotions in my lifetime but hated all the bad. I knew I had to stop but I couldn't bring my self to do it. I hated my self because of this. But I couldn't understand. Understand why was I doing this?

After 2 years, when I first started it was every day, every night. I hadn't a social life and I hadn't a money. I was home-less living on the streets begging for money. Money that was then spent on more drugs for me. I was so stupid.

When I took it? When I took it everything became a rainbow, life was a dream, a dream that would never be true. Art, music, laughter, joy? It was all coming to me. I loved it. Marijuana and I were married, I would always be enjoying it but they will always be taking it.

The point is, Marijuana is a dream. But the dream that no one can reach. It wasn't fake but It wasn't true either. It was empty and hollow compassion and love. I don't regret taking it but I do regret not getting rid of it sooner. You will loose yourself, let alone others. So be true, and certainly do not take marijuana or any other kind of drugs no matter what the people say. Goodnight to you all!
