^You should rethink that, and my guess is that you are still rather young and still maturing. Growing up itself may be the cause of your not being so shy anymore, and it's quite possible that the herb has helped you realize a few things about yourself and life, but don't think that you are cool because of it.
I don't use drugs because they are cool. Drugs aren't cool, as it's been stated. I use drugs because I enjoy using drugs. I just find myself feeling pretty fucking boss on certain occasion while using drugs.
The OP didn't ask if you thought smoking ganja made you cool, he/she was asking if you felt cool/boss/hip/whatever-you-say while you are toking up. Example: I made a light bulb vaporizer for the first time this morning, and I have to say that it felt pretty "cool" to be consuming the herb in a way I never had before. I most certainly was not like, "Oh, I'm the coolest motherfucker ever 'cause I made this!" while parading around the yard with it...Lulz, that reminds me of freshman year of highschool, all of the "stoner" kids would bring their homemade pieces to school and we'd sneak off and smoke during lunch. We all thought we were pretty fucking cool, but we were actually just dorky kids that didn't have any interest in "normal" activities.
Anyway, end of rant, time for more coffee.
Much love,
