i think this thread has already blown up out of proportions. please refrain from using bad words. pedrolics, i think i understand why you're giving us the bad attitude and i quite appreciate your apology for that. you are moving out of your free will, leaving your friends behind, and feeling like a complete stranger in a new country. i hope you have discussed with your parents how you truly feel instead of lashing it all out to the people in this forum. but you should look at the situation from both sides. if it would do best for your family, then you should give it a try before you pass your judgment. if not, then maybe your parents can come up with a better solution by letting you stay with your grandparents or relatives in the US, if that's what you like.

it is very clear that pot is illegal here. i will not give you the lecture on drugs for you are a grown man already. there is no way that you can enter or use that in this country. heavy consequences will be dealt with if you are caught. and believe me, you don't want to ruin your life here over some silly grass.

as for the others, please don't be that judgmental. and whether you were provoked, stop those cross answers. we are not all temperamental kids, are we? peace
