What does marijuana do to you emotionally? Do you 'feel' more when high? Or do you become detached and seem to feel less? Is it a combination of both?

I'm am not an emotional person, but while high I can let my mind go to a place where I feel warm fuzzies when I think about my girlfriend, I can watch a documentary which includes some form of human suffering and feel a rush of empathy, I'll become more sensitive to other people's feeling while I usually feel like I have no idea what other people are feeling. While sober, I seem to have an emotional ceiling, I've always been the aloof and cold person.

I can also reach periods of detached hyperfocus and concentrate on an activity for hours while forgetting my surrounding and emotional state.
 
It really depends what you're doing and focusing on. Even if you aren't doing anything to produce some kind of emotion, emotions can arise whether good ones or not so good ones. When I smoke, most of the time I am not trying to focus on anything in particular and I just let the leaf kind of speak for me if you know what i'm saying.

For the most part I get a sense of neutrality and I really don't bother with emotions too much. I feel what I feel and go with it as it is. Maybe I am becoming insensitive but I question much less on why I feel a certain way at a certain time. I guess I just smoke and chillout so to speak. The less drama, the better.
 
personally, i'll be texting my girlfriend and can get all "lovey dubby" when im sober, but as soon as im high im not really as into it... like i'll be texintg "i love you", and "your so fucking cute", then i'll blaze and ill just be like "...so whats up?"
 
i get extremely emotional and try to express everything i am feeling

one time i wanted to text my friend saying "dude im so high." so i pull out my phone and start texting.

the text message read something like this.

"dude im so high. this weed is amazing. thanks so much nigguh for geting me this weed. me and simone (my gf) are gone! shes so awesome! we're having a lot of fun togethor! man dude....nigguh...when we gon' chill again?! i miss you! dude...im so high"

hehe...went on longer than i originally planned
 
It puts me in a better mood too, but long term for me. It's sort of like a "fuck-it drug" as my friend says, I totally agree though. Makes me feel like, Oh yeah? Well whatever..
 
lol i always convince my self to quit smoking when im high and think about the damage its doing to me
but the next mornging im still a smoker
 
For me personally, marijuana doesn't change my emotional response to anything. I am not more detatched or more likely to empathize or let my emotions take over. I am the same as sober.
 
I smoked too much for too long, and my brain changed the way it interprets cannabinoids. Polar oposite now. Instant panic attack. It took me a while to come to grips with this. I have not smoked now for several months. I am going to give it a couple years and see if my mind switches back.
 
I can get very emotional at times where as others im just like yeah whatev. for example when watching P.S I love you, blazed out of my face, i cried liek a bitch. But when with my gf and im high... im just like yeah... actually i want to chill with my mates hha

i used to be like for a long time too .
started way too young at the age of 13 and hit the bong all day long 'till age 19.

thats when the panic attacks began. i guess it was because of severe depression/mental-health issues -which were obviously not caused by pot, but the weed triggered it and made it much worse.

right now, at age 23 i start to enjoy marijuana again. still to the extent that i did before, but...its getting better:)
 
For me when I'm high it is impossible to get angry. Even if there's something that does piss me off I'll be mad for like two seconds and then.. bam, Happy again.

As for the other emotions. Weed makes me happier and that's about it. I can still feel sadness but it usually has to be pretty dramatic to have an effect on me.
 
it depends sometimes it can put me in a down mood, but that is not often it depends where my mind decides to go. most of the time though, i am just happy and hella relaxed. whish is y i smoke a lot when i am hella mad.
 
ya I used to smoke a couple times everyday and now that I only smoke on the weekends I noticed I was never angry. I was just chill about everything, even if it should make me furious I would just be like fuck it and forget about it.

Now I'm not really an angry person but if something upsets me I get angry and actually have a drive to do something. Also when I was smoking all the time I never really had much motivation, now that I've stopped smoking so often I've already gone after this girl i've had a crush on :D
 
i vary, my moods arent really that good atm as im quitting the ecstacy but i onyl ever smoke it when im in a good moood cos i know that i will have a good time. i avoid when im down or depressed as my inner thoughts just get over run more than anything else and arent very good experiances expecially when i suffer from anxiety and depression anyways but nah man its cool i get mroe inot films when i smoke it and actually feel the movie a lot rmoe through emotions aswell so.
 
oh yer someone mentioned horneyness, its so good when ug et horney on the ganje its like a sex drug, thats if u can be assed getting up n doing it :P
 
Weed as a sex drug? whatever floats your boat mate.

For me it usually just makes me more aware of however i'm feeling at the time.

Feeling down? toke bong and be chilled out/down. Feeling good? toke bong and be chilled out/good.
