I feel like my personality has changed since I started smoking weed regularly. And I mean my overall personality, even when I'm not high. I always used to be a little self conscience. Not in the sense that I'd be worried about my physical appearance but like I'd get embarrassed easily over small things or I'd get uncomfortable in certain social situations. Now I don't seem to care anymore. Also I don't feel like I'm "living". Each day just seems to be the same old thing. I drive to the bus stop, take the bus to the subway, and take the subway to work. You'd think on that 2 hour trip I'd at least notice something (a strange looking person, a nice car, etc). But it's as if I'm in my own world and don't care about anything happening around me.
 
Oh yes my friend. Weed will alter your personality. You seem like you're describing some vaguely dissociative experiences here which is kind of fucked. The biggest change is in motivation, and when you lack motivation and ambition is will bleed through to every other aspect of your life, which arguably will change your entire personality, or at least how other people view you. If you are smoking enough weed to the point where you can no longer relate to the real world and the people in it, might be time to take a break. Or you might have accomplished exactly what you set out to do when you first started smoking haha :)
 
i have found that when i smoke that my sexual realtionship is so much better lol. other than that i think my personality has changed i am now more open minded and more happier.... :)
 
shit i wish weed changed me like that dont care what ppl think instead it makes me worse but i cant seem to quit fuck it!
 
Weed can change people, if you smoke all day everyday you gonna be a different guy to if you played basketball all day every day y'know?

Then throw in the fact you probably started toking young? (i'm just assuming here, so dont kick off if im wrong plz) but people change a lot from 14 - 20 anyway. Add constant smoking and your a different peson.
 
I experienced the same thing with being embarressed and what not over little things. I have smoked everyday for about 2 years, sometimes i would smoke just a bowl and on a lot of other occasions i would smoke more than a quarter (always nug btw). As of right now i cannot tell a difference between real life and my dreams, i have woken up from some dreams where it felt like i changed overnight. Weed does some crazy stuff but i love to get lit so
fuck ittttt
 
Yeahhh it definitley does .

For me it just makes me feel kinda alienated from most people in my school.

Also makes me apathetic and I really just don't give a shite.

I realized though that weed kinda keeps me sane as well . When I stop snoking I just feel depressed an irritable
 
Long term marijuana use can change your personality, can increase your risk of depression and schiz later on in life.
 
ofcourse... Long term and short, and even instant results.. What I mean is you could be a completly different chill calm person after just one blunt, and over longer time, I've found bud to change your mentality, and perspective on a lot of things, thus affecting your personality, but on some bein shined seein da light shit(even if it dim) like u see more wen u high n after long term trees, u wise up(well I did) and u understand better.. U kno, people say u lose self identity, i find if anything its temp and its twards a far better person... Wen you lose identity and see the world as a whole and everybodys roll in society as cypher, you are kind of an outside force(an outside perspective can be powerful and is achieved thru mentally distancing urself in right ways) whilst still being there physcially and playing your chosen, and I say chosen role because I believe once you truley lose individualism thru bud you actually find your self better and see everyone elses roles in society and who u can alter yours for wutever outcome u desire. Bud helped me realize all that, and I did feel like I not lost my self, but left my self before, but only to arise a better man. LEGALIZE IT, it's medacine longterm bre
 
Yeah it can but if you're doing nothing but getting high daily and doing a wake and bake and being high until you go to bed late that night/the next morning you're gonna be burnt out while doing this.
 
Yea it changed me. Some of the changes were for the best but and then you get your bad ones. I suggest a brake dude I'm on one now and feeling alot better I usually have a month break when I see myself distancing and it works for me.
 
OP: This sounds alot like me.. You know what they say, weed doesnt cause schizophrenia, but people with personality types that are succeptable to it seek weed out...

Weed, like any drug, can be used in therapy. And i think thats the biggest danger of using it when you are young or without understanding its power - you can end up reprogramming yourself without even noticing... I would have alot of anxiousness without weed in social situations.. Weed really calmed me and i feel, express who i am more acuratly... If that makes sense.

As for the 'world passing you by' i get that too.. But it started before i smoked weed (i startd whn i was 22~). Weed can make u paranoid so u overthink alot of things, and i think this is one of those times. But on the other hand, as a weekend smoker, i understand how my body reacts on a 'cone-over' and blandness is a consiquence of reality not being as 'fun' as weed. You know, every pot smoker says weed makes everything better... So obviously things are going to seem bland afterwards, but i think its also a statr of mind thing, things are interesting, its just you dont feel as motivated to explore these things without weed guiding u...
 
Yep, definately changes a person heavily abusing cannabis fucks you over. 10 years of smoking has left me a shadow of the person i could have been :-(

I think evolution has painted a glossy rainbow over reality to keep us all happy, But once you have a few peeps behind the curtain and see what life really is about it can be a depressing place!

I found my views on life changed, i see things from a far in a much more raw/animalistic way now and that aint always good .......
