Has weed helped you ?

It makes stuff surface. It brings to mind a lot of fears. It can make me nervous and jittery. That's all the negative. Positively. I've learned how to kill fear. i've learned more about myself. I enjoy things more. I'm more intune with all that is. It's helped me creatively and inspired me to do things. Miss Mary's a teacher and she's also a hell of a ride.

Pot has so many more usages than that.

I love to jog, when not too paranoid, when high and everything about the high I cherish as an intellectual and spiritual adventure that opens up new ways of thinking and feeling. Admittedly it can be used to pig out, savoring every last bit of food, and watching shows that are now strangely funny. But it definitely has very positive usages and I find those to have literally saved some of my faith in everything. It's not a drug to get stuff done on, there are stimulants for that, it's a good drug to explore oneself on though without the full brunt of hallucinogens. If pot doesn't affect you like that you either have had way too much weed in your life or are simply not stimulated in that way by the drug. Or maybe the quality is just shit of what you have.

EDIT: Bad things are the paranoia and negative self-image. But those can be easily dealt with given some ingenuity and focus.

DOUBLE POST FUCK YAH

But yah, FOCUS. You focus on anything while high and I can bet you'll be better at it. Laziness is not a fact. Maybe for you, but not for me. Some strains chill you out more than others. Others make you want to be active. I've never had better balance before than one time when I was high. Maybe that's not active the way you see it, but I sure as hell was focused and centered on concentrating on balance. I had the motivation to adventure and discover, and that isn't what you would typically call laziness.

In the end... everyone's different.
 
i started smoking at 12 and bought an oz after the 1st time. went to 'rehab' at 13 but i loved my fat sacks of buddha. I always had ounces or pounds around so i smoked every day multiple times. It really made me not give a fuck about anythin and almost dropped out of school and me and my parents had a horrible relationship until i was 16 and grew up enough to handle myself and hide my smoking from my family so we could get along. at around 15 years old however weed started to suck i stopped being able to sleep when i smoked so i was always up really late, i no longer got the munchies, and i couldnt really get that high anymore. 20minutes before getting arrested i had smoked a 6gram gotti and a 2g blunt with .3g of coke in it and the police couldnt even tell i was high. i really wasnt. i stofore i quit at 16 i was makin a lot of money the wrong way and usually smoked about 7-12 blunts per day for the last 3 months of smoking. I was totally retarded and couldnt remember what i was talking about mid-sentence extremely frequently. Apparently i watched knocked up 3x with my friend and still to this day i cant remember a minute of that movie. for me, weed is one of the worst drugs i struggled with. thankfully its just not appealing to me anymore

No dis' dude...but at age 12 your brain wasnt even fully developed ! Let alone age 15. YOWZA
 
As stated up above me, unless for sleep... no. Simply because once I started smoking, my senior year in high school, I went from being a super 3.0 student to a 1.0 in college, skipped classes to get high a lot and just everything. It is my own fault but weed has not helped me itself really. It does help kill cravings for worse drugs though. so it helps short term maybe in a way. FOR ME though.
 
When I smoke weed I'm more capable of thinking. I hope you guys don't care if I say I feel more intelligent when I'm high because the thought structure is way more complex for me. Since some time I get high and use that energy for learning and thinking philosophically. Somehow after 2 years now I feel that I have this complex thinking even without beeing high. I feel like I matured mentally. This state of mind now really helps me in my life and really I experienced more in the last 2 years than in my whole life. And I know everyone actually has this possibility to grow, we just didn't know it. "It is how it is".
 
I'm surprised I haven't posted in this thread but weed has greatly helped me. Especially with my depression, I've been on many anti-depressants (now zoloft) and none of them have helped me. I wonder why I even still take them... Yet, marijuana has greatly helped my depression and the times I smoked weed were some of the happiest memories I have. It also gave me a better outlook on life cause I had mini-breakthroughs. All I can say is I'm glad the green was introduced into my life. It has made me aware of so many things going on in this world and with myself.
 
No weed has not helped me at all after the high but it sure as heck helps when I am high. XD
 
Yes.

With:
-Stress
-Insomnia
-Boredom

It is also a great feeling know that at the end of the day I can come home and smoke weed.
 
both hindrance and blessed help ! cannabis IS medicine !

I have used cannabis since age 12. I Know that is too young now. I am currently using it for chronic pain. I did use it recreationally at first, did develop a negative psychological dependance, and anti-social behaviors. I went into the military out of high school, where I was a socially acceptable alcoholic. When I got kicked out as a result of alcohol related lateness, I went out and got a bag of San Francisco green bud. I tool a six month break, to prove to my roommates and myself I could stop. I stayed sober and went to NA meetings for six months. I left that living situation, and got smoking again, and after not finding work for six months while sober, I get a steady job in a warehouse for art supplies. I was motivated by my desire to buy weed enough to actually go get a job. I have maintained a decent quality of living, up until the last car accident, that has left me with cervical disk damage, and lumbar regoin pain and became unable to work as an auto technician. I use cannabis, and cannabis concentrates daily to mediate my pain, without using opiates. I did go through a period of vicoden addiction using 8-12 pills/day, and used cannabis to wean myself off of them. I see several posts above that mention using cannabis to good effect in breaking opiate addictions for others besides myself. When I was drinking heavily I would use cannabis as a hangover cure" to great effect as well. I can not say it was a 100% benign influence on my life, and at the same time insist that my quality of life today would be that of a drooling doped out idiot, strung out on pills without cannabis. I can continue to heal myself, as well as be inspired to acts of artistic creation in different media, concentrate better on reading, and even the unpleasant tasks like cleaning my house, and doing laundry, with a little help from my 'buds' ! I am thankful that I was able to move to a state with cannabis legal to use, and grow for medicinal use. I am not a scholar, nor am I a saint, but I am a contributing member of society, who helps others in my community that are in need of what assistance I am able to offer. If natures makes an occaisional mistake, like the duckbilled plataypus, which was more of a cruel joke anyway, cannabis was not a mistake. It's healing properties are finally becoming reaccepted by at least half the U.S. population. Maybe one day in my lifetime, it will be made lagal for adult consumption, without a doctor's note for permission. All of the above is my personal experience, and observation, YAMMV. Thanks for reading !
Peace,
<KZ>

No I cannot say it helped really other providing a certain type of entertainment with a certain type of friend. I think it actually lowered by overall productivity and pleasure in life because whilst other people were out doing stuff, I was in stoned. I'm certainly not going to recommend it to my kids as something usefu or valuable.
