Why are there so many kids at my school who smoke marijuana?

I live in a pretty nice neighborhood in the bay area and my school is great but it just seems like there are so many kids smoking marijuana. Ive been offered it before but there is no way in hell I would smoke it. Even some of my good friends are doing it. IM SURROUNDED BY POTHEADS!!! And every time i tell them that they are making a big mistake they get extremely mad at me and ignore me for a week or so. Im really sick of it and I don't get why so many people do it. I mean where I live there is no major violence or crimes so why this?

    I am in highschool and I when I read this it sounded like something I would say, I think you should not smoke pot or cigarettes or anything of the sort. It is true that it is not as damaging as it has been portrayed but it is still a drug and you should not smoke it or any drugs at all, including alcohol, cocaine, cigarettes, speed, heroin or anything illegal or that you know to be wrong. I live in Puerto Rico and I have been shown the evil of drugs by witnessing the aftermath of shootings, major drug addicts living on the streets and how the people who handle and distribute drugs are ruining this world.

    Not only criminals smoke weed some do it because of peer pressure some do it to look cool some do it just to get through stress or medicine.

    maybe there isn't major violence or crime around where you live because everyone is too stoned to care.

    also, everyone smokes weed because it's basically harmless and it's great.

    I'm not suggesting you change your lifestyle or beliefs, but maybe you should try it once.

    it's pretty awesome.
