Hello, My Name's John
Hello, my names John
Uh…I’ve been sober for quite a few months now and, well, I hate it
I can’t sleep, I’m not hungry, and life just seems so boring now
My parents want me to stay clean but I’m not sure I want to
It’s not like I was doing anything bad or even hurting anyone
All I did was smoke a plant, it’s all natural, comes straight from Earth
My grades in school were never better, I could actually tolerate people
If anything drugs made me a better person, a much happier person
But still I’m told that drugs are bad and that I should stay away
It just doesn’t seem fair that to me ya know, why judge me for it
Everywhere I go it’s there, everyone I know seems to be doing it
I’m not one to give into peer pressure but I see them and I want it
From friends, to music, to my favorite movies and actors, it’s all around
It’s not like I’m going to fall off the map and dive into hardcore stuff
I just want to smoke pot and get high and watch some South Park
Just like old times when I could relax and forget about the bullshit

Just be responsible. Balance it w/ your life so that it isn't controlling your decisions. That's when things can get darker. But if your responsible and your work( or in your case, school) stays in good shape, you stay happy and you keep up w/ your social life, then noone can tell you that you can't or shouldnt do it.
Just try not to be dependant on it for happiness.
That's the best I can suggest if your conflicted by your feelings about it.

Everyone has something that gives them a will to live and before you find that thing we all need to find a crutch. Mine is video games and your crutch is pot, a not very harmful drug that at worst make you grumpy. I say ,try to find your reason but in the mean time use (very sparingly or it will become your reason) pot. Good luck.
