The past two months i've been smoking premium weed constantly. After I've broken up enough to roll a small joint (wired papers man, yeah!) I can rub a lump of finger hash out of the glands that have stuck to my fingers. It's that good. :)

Anyway, looking back, I can clearly see the effects chronic smoking has had on my personality, outside the actual time spent high. I haven't seen anyone elaborating on those effects, ever, so I figured I would give it a shot.

The most profound effect has been a change in my priorities, evidenced by a change in my day-dreams or idle fantasies. I used to imagine myself running a small company, trading stocks, or being a doctor with loads of cash. I would focus on my studies and try and lock in on those bullshit, money driven goals. After the cannabis my dreams turned to laying on a beach eating mangos with some woman I really connect with. I am happily homeless in that reoccurring fantasy, but have ample food and shelter.
** There, I believe, is a good example of the supposed lack of motivation cannabis usage supposedly causes. It isn't a lack of motivation, but rather a change of goals; rather than capitalism's ideals weed makes me desire a 'simple life'

The other change I've noticed is a strange tendency to see the character of things; mystic poet style personification, although not enough for me to start writing poetry. I see the "personality" of cannabis very clearly. I won't discuss it here, because I highly doubt the herb reveals itself to everyone uniformly.

Also, the static I see with my eyes closed is far more interesting than the static I see cannabis metabolite free.
 
I myself have been smoking dayly for a while now, not a huge ammount and not amazing weed but still enough to notice a change.

Rather than a change of goals I do find myself much less motivated, I often just avoid thinking about the concequences of not doing anything. My friends say I'm overly layed back now too.

I need to cut down and have been since yesterday.
 
Very astute observations my friend, i and many others i know have observed such perspective shifts with chronic cannabis use.

What you have stated is but the tip of the ice berg of course, but serves well to illustrate a common viewpoint of the cannabinated mind ie preference for simple and naturalistic lifestyle over the fucked up corporate/consumer lifestyle.

Peace, Love and Light be with you always. :)
 
Hmm, methinks this would go better in Cannabis Discussion, unless you specifically want it left here, but if that's so, then I need more detail. There's a format guide in the tr guidelines if you need a hand. :)
 
annabis is no daily Hey man lets get fucked up drug.

Its a serious psychedelic that can change yer life and yer ideology, for good OR bad.

Just be mentally stable, use in moderation, don't over think and be happy.

Im layin off the eed fer a month ma self.

We live in a capitalist world. Cannabis sure makes me appreciate simple pleasure but it can also detach u from the harsh realitiesd of life u have no coice but to cope p wih.

Cannabis is NOT to be fucked with .

Sorry did i sound preachy;-)
 
I used to smoke on a semi regular basis, but I've since given it up. I still smoke it occasionally though, at parties and stuff.

I can see what you mean though. The apparent lack of motivation in such people is just one perspective of the problem. When someone changes their ambitions from being CEO of BIG IT Inc to relaxing back and enjoying life it does seem to some people as lack of motivation.

That being said, you can be a corporate whore and still enjoy a good ole toke on the schmoke ;)
 
Does anyone find that once you turn your back on smoking weed daily (if you ever decide too) it can almost change the drug for you compleatley (in how it effects you afterwards and during), I havn't ever been able to not smoke for more than a few weeks but I generally just smoke on the weekends and I don't smoke loads, but I find now that the headstate on weed from sober is often uncomfortable and annoying and I end up wishing I hadn't bothered (not always the case but often if I smoke early on in the day or with no original intention to do so). To be honest weed doens't effect my outlook on life at all anymore maybe its already changed it, which I am forever grateful for, but weed is more of a lifestyle drug if you want to live with it you are constantly in a weedstate and live your life that way otherwise it's just pointless IMO. Weed is a much more complicated drug than its taken for and I always end up ranting when trying to explain its varying effects but o well..
 
yes i been smoking everyday and its just too hard to quit when it doesn't really effect anything buy my wallet
 
I have lost friends over the "lack of motivation" arguement thing we have seen here.

Basically what it boiled down to was me being scolded by my former best friend over my lack of motivation to "go to college so that i can get a good job that pays a lot of money so that i can buy a big house and have a couple cars and be able to buy anything i could ever want" when all i really want to do is just be able to live and enjoy being alive... playing my guitar, reading, walking through nature... etc.

Those things are a waste to her. She just simply cant fathom that someone can be happy without having assloads of money. To her, if you arent rich, you are a worthless human being. gehhhh

Capitalism creates zombies. These zombies are controlling the world.
