Has weed had a positive or negative influence on your life?

I've had almost entirely positive experiences with pot. It's helped me through some very rough times, provided bonding experiences, and just brought a lot of good fun, and perhaps a little too much binge eating :)

I have had a few anxiety problems on pot, but the good stuff FAR outweighs the bad in that regard.

It's impossible to say as i'm still living my life and smoking. There's no hindsight or context with which to answer.


you don't need hindsight, just educated reasoning skills.
 
I would say overwhelmingly positive. I have gone for years without smoking any since I lived in Squareville- population, ME. Seriously once you're out of school and into the corporate scene, finding stoner friends aint what it used to be. For the last 2 years I've been growing my own small stash. It doesn't take that many plants. When I wasn't smoking I drank too much. Binge drinking every couple of weeks. Yuck!

The illegality seems to increase the attraction. I am a Subversive! While the neighbors are pounding vodka and Miller Lite(R),feeding the corporate monster, I am experiencing a more subtle healthier buzz. It is satisfying knowing that I am correct and "The Man" could learn a thing or two from me!

Gotta love MJ and music. Going on week long hiking trips into the great outdoors with stash is one of my all time favorite things. Skiing and toking on the chair lift.......Priceless.

Im gonna be perfectly honest. Definintly negative effects. Im a daily pothead and thats gotten me nowhere except being anti-social, getting made fun of, bad grades, paranoid, and being depressed. and im damn close to quitting. I wish I never started smoking. I used to be a popluar and cool kid and now im a fuckin loser and get hit by kids I hang out with everyday. weed made my life so much worse.
well alot of those kids that called you a loser, by the time they and you go to college alot more kids will be smoking pot. I dont think you a loser if you smoke pot, your probably just depressed man. Quit smoking for awhile or cut back and think about going to a doctor. Who gives a fuck what people say about you. I had the same shit in highschool, a known pot head. Most kids that made fun of me for it now smoke weed and snort coke. Hope this helps.


Weed has affected my life in a negative way but i love to be high. I have a mood disorder so it could be some form of self medication.
 
Negatively, weed has created some problems with the parents because they dont want me smoking at my age. Also, my reputation is'nt that great beacause I am looked at as a stoner to society. However, weed has allowed me to make great friends and gave me the confidence to say, "who gives a fuck about my reputation". I am an individual and I live life on my own terms. So herb has affected me positivley more than negetivley.
 
Bad, I never needed the shit. Made my precious mind stupid, changed me, got me hanging with the wrong crowd.

Luckily I was smarter than the weed, fuck that shit.

I made a lot of stoner friends over the years, but considering them real friends? Nah.. Drugfriends are what they are, drugfriends.

You are right about the "fuck all" attitude, that's what I needed, too bad that's just the first impression. On some things weed gave me a very strong fuck it attitude, on other things it does the opposite.
Things like anxiety, low self esteem, paranoia.. I don't think any drug that's used dialy can be beneficial in any way on the long term.

Nowadays irregular weed use just makes me feel bad about myself because I did it, once again. Smoking weed is comparable to crawling in my shell, or watching TV in a lazy couch. I only do it out of associal reasons.
I hope that reason's going to dissapear eventually, but I don't think so.
The only other valid reason to smoke I could think of is tripping out on high doses, but there are better drugs for that.

dude you dont know how wrong you are about that. my buddies that i get high with are my closest friends and the awesome times weve had together created a strong bond that will last a very long time. im sorry you were unable to bond with the friends that you smoked with and make a connection in a way that myself and so many others do.
