Today I called an addiction helpline. I don’t know what came over me, but I had nowhere else to turn and it was the only way I knew how to help myself. I’m 17 years old and I started using marijuana three years ago. It’s gotten to the point where I can’t control it anymore and I feel like I need someone to talk to.
