Has weed helped you ?

It helped me a lot when I was on Chemo. But even after I was cured I couldn't stop doing it. For me it's a double edged sword. It makes the world seem new and fun when I do it occasionally. However, for me, occasionally usually turns in to frequently. I get addicted and I feel burnt out. Life is then lived in a constantly high state. I function but just barely. In the beginning it hightens my senses and gives me great perspective, but after a while of constant usage it does the opposite. I envy those that can just do it every once in a while. I just don't have the self control.
 
Helps me turn to an introverted contemplative mode rather than an aggressive always in motion mode. There is too much of a good thing but waiting until the evening then getting mellow is the right way to smoke.

Also a wonderful aphrodisiac!
 
helped me for many long years for anxiety without it i couldn't leave the house. also gave me tons of energy to get things done. and better than taking my pharms at times for my DDD..than it started having a paradoxical effect and took a 6 month hiatus, yesterday i decided to head on down to the dispensary. Glad i did..i remeber this feeling and great thing is tolerence is low.
 
Sorry OP but you're fucking lying or not high.. the only thing anyone reads when high is a Taco Bell drive thru menu or an internet forum..
Weed makes people lazy... it's a fact, anyone who says otherwise is trying to defend the drug. Weed has helped me relieve stress, and cure boredom.. THAT IS IT. It's an incredibly unmotivating drug, there's a reason why the stereotyped "pothead" is a lazy bum who lives with his parents at 30 and eats doritos all day..
 
^so harsh, and so not true. I used to get high and do all sorts of stuff. I especially loved doing artistic stuff high like playing music and drawing etc. As long as it's not grueling work in the hot sun weed would motivate the hell out of me to do it! I didn't like going out in public so much on it though.
 
hardcheeba, I'm sorry, but I dont know any 30+ year old potheads who still lives with there parents and thinks about food all day. Thats some dumb shit your talking. We are talking about weed, not Heroin.

And whats with the bold letters? Save those for emergencies. ;)

haha no sorry but your the one whos "fucking lying". Clearly you need to do some more research on cannabis before you continue to spread false information. Weed may have turned you into a 30 year old lazy bum living with his parents, but that is far from the case for the majority. The sterotyped pot heads, are actually not liked but alot of pot smokers because they give pot which has potential to be such a wonder drug such a bad name, and are slowing the progress of legalization. Weed helps shit loads of people.
 
Marijuana opened up my perceptions. It has impacted my personality and my psych forever, for the better IMO.

I wish sativas were more popular, rather than indicas. Oh well.
 
I have to disagree with the general vide going in this thread. In my experience, most potheads are not that motivated. They aren't as extreme as the stereotypical 30 year old living at home with his/her parents, but they certainly aren't the go-getters of the world either. On the other hand, I know many people that smoke occasionally that are motivated and going places. I agree that weed gives you creativity, but if used too much motivation to use that creativity is lost.

Don't get me wrong, I love weed. I love the way it makes me feel, I love the insights I have while I'm on it. I just don't like the direction it took me in life. I haven't smoked for over a year now. Once I return to my country I plan on partaking again. I can't wait. This time I will only do it every once in a while.
 
overall it's been a pretty neutral influence. when i first started, i went through a typical honeymoon phase where i loosened up, made a lot of new friends and had those wonderful highs you can only get your first few months. then i went through an equally typical depression and social/scholastic withdrawal phase when i went to college. kind of sucked but i got over it and am stronger as a result.

i still smoke now (26) but feel like it has a lot less influence on my life. i'm a grad student making good grades (and working two jobs), have a great relationship with my girlfriend, and keep myself in really good shape. smoking pot helps me make breakthroughs with concepts in school (applied math) and DEFINITELY motivates me in terms of working out. it also drives me during the day to do the best i can, because i know when i come home and smoke i'll have to reflect and i'll be a lot happier if i feel proud of what i've accomplished.

so i'd say it's helped me with some things and hurt me with others. but overall i love the way it makes me feel and i live a life i'm very happy with, so i'd have to say it's worked out pretty well for me thus far.
 
Weed is a very useful tool. It calms me down, helps me unwind and sleep. If used earlier in the day, I can put myself in a contemplative mood for solitary study-- I actually find pot to be a fairly good study aid, except when used before a pressing deadline. It's not good for cramming, or learning complicated technical information, but its quite useful for use in everyday study and "deep thinking time" about more conceptual/qualitative material. :)
 
I like the person smoking all that weed has turned me into. I am very chilled out and not bothered as much by things, and I actually think I have gotten smarter. I am really happy where I am right now.
However, I have had to quit smoking weed because I absolutely despise how I am when I'm stoned now. Stoned me is a complete and utter burnout, a pathetic pussy around females when normally I have no confidence issues, and my priorities are way off. I don't converse nearly as well in social situations, and people who arn't stoned just seem like fucking robots to me. Smoking pot makes me hate the thought of having a career as an engineer. The addiction ended up really closing me up which is contradictory to the reason I got high in the first place- to expand my mind.
It is also the only drug I ever abused. I was smoking about an ounce a week for quite a few years, I'm 22 but I've blazed roughly 10,000 times in my life. I am really concerned about the often overlooked health complications of this behaviour. Obviously pounding drug smoke into your lungs from morning 'til night is really harmful and totally increases your risk of developing cancer. Something I never really thought about before because weed is supposedly 'so benign and harmless'. Also, smoking all that weed blatantly made me fucking retarded. It was harder for me to concentrate and read because I was so demotivated. However, all of this has cleared up since I stopped smoking.
At the peak of my addiction, before I quit a month ago, I was a suicidal wreck. Being on the pot so hard was without a doubt making me contemplate suicide on a regular basis. Those thoughts have completely subsided since I quit. Also, quitting was fucking HELL. One of the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Couldn't sleep and lost my appetite, but those were minor issues compared to the emotional fucking purgatory I went through for a week. I had lost the love of my life. Pot is absolutely everywhere and I have had to isolate myself from my social life. I don't trust myself being around that shit at all because even though it has been a month I still think about pot on a regular basis.
I have used mdma, cocaine (never again the stuff is for clowns, it's behind a fucking WAR, bad karma if you ask me, and so impure), and psychedelics pretty extensively and I have never felt a pull towards any of them like I did with weed. It is by far the most addictive drug for me. I like to cook really healthy food, and go to the gym 2 hours every day. Weed is the only drug that allows me to keep up this healthy lifestyle- I can still be good to myself as a stoner. Actually, it is probably the reason why I am such a healthy, physically active person in the first place! It made me very self aware of what I was putting into my body and how I was treating it. Like, junk food fucking sickens me now.
I have also met a lot of people in my life who are no doubt slaves to the dope as I was. It clearly has affected them negatively- they are university dropouts doing nothing with their lives, or social zombies, etc. I have never seen any other drug fuck up as many good people. Like, you know there are risks when you start on a hard drug. But weed is so accepted, everyone who smokes it acts like it does nothing to them, even addictions are overlooked because it is apparently 'unaddictive'. But the dope monster will suck you right in and steal a lot of love from your life.
So, yeah... that might have sounded overly negative. But smoking weed eventually set me on a great spiritual path. I now realize there is so much more to life than worrying about the ego. So, even though those 5 years of my life would have turned out complete differently if I had never smoked pot, at least I managed to still get an advanced engineering degree while high out of my mind. I really don't regret smoking pot, and not too many people seem to get really addicted to it such as I. And the long term effects are only positive so long as you can get away with it and get your degree or whatever you are doing with your life. It is the one drug I think you can abuse the hell out of without it forever negatively impacting your body and mind.
Oh and another thing, pot was a pretty good study aid for theoretical physics. Having a second point of view from an outside perspective never hurts when you're dealing with crazy fucked up math describing the universe.

People think they're functioning normally because they smoke so much that they have become delusional. Perhaps in most situations the difference is negliable, but when studying and exercising, you're no where near 100%.

In my experience people that call other people "noobs" are socially inept. And I'd rather have a low tolerance and be "blown" than smoke so often that I still feel normal even when high.
