Do you notice the side effects?

I have been smoking for several years now, a little heavier over the last year or 2, and have noticed myself becoming more and more paranoid and reclusive. I know these are known side effects of usage, and so I tell myself that the paranoia is all in my head, sometimes it's easy to forget and let my imagination take over.

Are you aware of the effects that smoking has on you, and how do you deal with said effects?

Do you feel that they have had any inpact on your life at all?
 
When i first began smoking weed made me so happy and confident in social settings. After a long time of heavily smoking weed usually makes me awkward and paranoid. I sitll love weed for smoking by myself or with really good friends but the effects it has on my confidence are definatly there.
 
It's drained my motivation for things and made me not trust people as much. But no huge effects on me, yet.
 
i notice memory loss, laziness, being chill as a cucumber, rambling BL posts, and sometimes increased anxiety. been smoking long and hard no paranoia and im actually more sociable
 
Year and a half smoking and no nasty side effects. Weed has never made me parinoid. But I have noticed it's made me a lot more laid back when it comes to, well, pretty much everything.
 
8 years of smoking, the anxiety only started about a year ago, now I hardly smoke at all, mostly only if I've been drinking as it just isn't pleasant anymore. It's a real shame, but it's a result of abuse in my opinion. I spent years smoking all day, every day, and now I'm paying the price for that as I see it. I just hope that if I abstain long enough I will be able to enjoy it again. I'd advise against trying to will the negative side effects away, instead you should moderate or interrupt your use.
 
Nah, if anything smoking more frequently made it less awkward for me. Now when I'm stoned it's just whatever. I don't care if I'm in front of my closest friend or 10,000 strangers. I'm stoned and still alive, who gives a shit. At least that's how I look at it.

Only noticeable side-effect is worse than usual short term memory, but that's a given and I think I'll live

same as me.... couldnt of said it better
 
Ive been smoking for 4 years now .. and weed has made me way more laid back.. i havent noticed any negative effects from the high.. actually i think i was more paranoid back in the beginning than i am now. Socializing is easier than it used to be .. however, i find myself falling asleep much more often now on pot than i used to. Maybe its just that ive been smoking certain strains for a while now.

Definately! For years i've smoked every night and every day off. Never before or during work but still, so much at night that I woke up still high in the morning some times.

I've felt a wide variety of negative side effects.

Definite drop in energy, motivation, short term memory, sociability.

The impact it had on my life? Well i've lost a job over it, i've lost friends over it. How big of an impact is that?
 
I smoke weed daily, but rarely use it in a social setting, I'd rather drink in a social setting. I use weed more to relax at night or when I don't have anything social to do that day. I dont really find myself paranoid, I have noticed that my insomnia has slowly and slowly gotten worse with my drug use, and sometimes I have a serious lack of energy during the day because of it, but thats about it.
