has pot killed your personality?

Smoking pot has actually helped my personality. Before I started smoking, I was pretty shy. I would talk to people I have known for a little while, but I never really would be making new friends. But once I started smoking, I just became social. It first started when I was getting high a lot and I just would talk to people or other stoners that I didn't really know. But now, even when I'm not high, I've noticed that I'm more social.
 
Yes, yes it did kill my personality.
I was never truly comfortable in my own skin though, and always a little sensitive/self concious before I started smoking. But it got to be everyday, and over the years that I smoked pot (which was daily for almost 2 yrs) it definitely zapped my personality.
 
has pot killed your personality....

.......of course it as! i hate leaving the house without being high, i've lost a lot of my friends, i dont trust anyone, etc

fuck it
 
I think all the drugs I have ever taken in my life, have effected my personailty some way. Mainly for the better I hope, you would have to talk to my friends I guess.
 
"I was never truly comfortable in my own skin though, and always a little sensitive/self concious before I started smoking."

I wonder if that's the case with most people who's personality has been slain by pot.

Smoking pot just makes me think a lot less, and as such it becomes difficult to be a sociable person. Being high is good for stress relief because it relieves you of those extra IQ points that your brain is always using, but the downside of it is, well...a loss of IQ.

I think this is BS. loss of IQ? thinking less? difficult to socialize? generalizations like this are pointless IMO. if you are in good company, pot can "enhance" conversations/interactions between ppl. Seems like you think pot makes you "dumber" somehow ( because it makes you stop thinking and causes and IQ loss ) ...maybe it's just you (or me)

about the personality thing : i can relate to what you were saying, but i don't think pot has killed anything, maybe you did?
 
When i was 16 and smoked dope i didnt care about if i was stoned in public and my sometimes irrational behaviour was on display, but when i turned 18 something changed. I didnt want to go out after id smoked and just being pushed to go to the grocerystore would bring out a panic attack.

I just felt lousy, intimidated and shy when i was high. I still dont know why.

Now, when im 24 i once again dont care about being stoned in public, i mean i probably would stay in if i smoked whitewidow sensi after being sober for a few weeks, but all in all the problem has gone away.

I also felt during the years between 18-22 when i smoked heavily daily that i definatly became more introverted and that in turn made me want to be by myself even more than usual. And then i found that smoking heavily by myself in my introverted cloud of euphoria i soon became more and more of an antisocial freak.

Sitting in ones apartment smoking all day long without seeing people for sometimes weeks will mess with your head, but if youre in this situation NOW, all you gotta do is get yourself out there again. It will feel funny and strange, even very depressing at times, but eventually the same thing will happen to you only at the other end of the spectrum, youll become more social.

Its all really very logic if you think about it.

Make the change, let the time run free, and dont worry, youll be fine.
 
oh, and about the personality thing, no it has not killed it, but as someone said earlier in the thread, it is being sedated not only when high but also for days after depending on your cannabis intake, for a chronic smoker i would say several weeks before you get normal.

Although, it changes for the better all the time. Even if cannabis withdrawal is known for its unnerving ups and downs.8(
 
I would doubt that your personality is dead... You just need to stop smoking for a while. I find myself very reclusive and paranoid after a good 6 months of smoking every day for the most part. Try taking a 2-3 month break. The first high after you take that break is always the greatest one too, i always feel wicked goofy and it puts me in a good mood.

i dont think that it killed my personality at all. in fact it gave me more of a personality. it helped me though my life allot. it also gave me more self confidence

That is sometimes the best way to do it. Just take a break from smoking for a little while and as soon as you start smoking again for that first time in a while, it is great.

The only way you can let your personality go dead is if you let it go dead.
 
yes it does for everyone , for someone a little more.. for others a little less
 
My friends personality was compleatly dead for a long time. She was always a constantly happy bubbly person. But once she started to smoke weed 24 - 7 she became dull, and lifeless. It got to the point where she wasn't laughing or even having a good time anymore. She was sounding like she was constantly stoned even if she wasn't, like her speech would always be slurred and her eyes always droopy.

Now, 6 months later. She is back to her normal self, happy and bubbly. But I find now when she does smoke, she laugh's a little bit, but for the next few days she will dead, like slurred speech and fucked eyes.

I still maintain the fact that there is a certain chemical in her body that she has killed off by smoking mull, and after she does smoke it takes her body a while to recreate the chemical.

Any thought's anyone??
 
hmm this is a great topic. I agree, since smoking pot, i've become much more of a social recluse. While i have a couple of very close friends that all smoke with me, and see them pretty much daily, i don't have very many other people i socialize with anymore. I find it tedious to go out and be in social settings, afterall stayin at home n smokin is so much easier. This is actually part of the reason I'm gonna be takin a small break from weed. That and i figured it's been long enough, time to let my head clear a little. Don't worry, i'll be back sometime :)
 
count me in as one of the introstonervert. God knows theres no way im socializing, let alone concentrating on reality when i take a couple bong rips. There were points when I could no longer imagine any benefits of smoking vs the paranoia.

I notice my personality "dying" too. even when im not high. You wont catch me using any words over 3 syllables very often. It really hasnt interefered with my ability to learn though. mostly when it comes to verbalizing.
 
I wouldn't say that pot has killed my personality... but my life is alot different now compared to how it was before pot. I hardly hang out with alot of the people who I used to be really close with. It seems that all of my friends now also smoke... I guess we just have more in common and I can relate to them better. I don't put in the same effort in school that I used to because I just don't care anymore. Also, almost all of the money I get is used to buy weed.

It hasn't effected me negatively enough to ever quit though. Personally, I think there are more good things about it then bad. When I'm really stressed it relaxes me. When I smoke with my friends we always have a good time and are usually always laughing. Basically, I just love being high haha
