So... Why do you smoke pot?

[K-Dazed]

^ forgot that one on my list.

 

[Assassin of Youth]

Of course!

 

[ganja god]

Because its medicine for the mind, body and soul.
Medicinally whenever I'm sick, it completely mitigates my symptoms with almost all illnesses.
Because I love thinking. When I smoke alone I usually just sit stoned for a long while wandering with my thoughts.
Because it helps maintain an optimistic view on life. People who doesn't smoke often tend to freak out allot over the silliest shit. I've noticed stoners usually take everything in stride even if it sucks.
Because it makes everything more enjoyable and aesthetic.
Because it makes me notice the small things that are so important yet subtle like flowers or clouds or just the deeper meaning behind simple things like a kid smiling.
Because shit gets funny
Because it makes me enjoy playing music more and makes me more creative.
Because I live in Oregon and here a 1.8 dub costs <No Prices - Chainer>$ and I can easily afford it. Couldn't maintain my daily usage most places.

All that said I also smoke because;
I'm psychologically addicted
Its a useful social tool
Sometimes to avoid shit I don't want to deal with, usually socially, as in getting so high your on your own page and people just sort of leave you there. I like that little isolation sometimes.
To cope with stress
Not so much anymore, but when I was younger and dumber because I got a sort of thrill out of defying the law and society.
This world can be a fucked up place. Wars rage, people starve becuase richer people don't give a fuck, the world is ran by people behind the curtains and we'll likely never know the full agenda, people kill eachother over insane ideologies... What the fuck can I do? I could be an activist I guess, but more relevent to the question, I can enjoy the freedom to be able to get high. I can enjoy what I have. When the world really corners you sometimes it just feels like the best answer is to just smoke another bowl.

Thanks for the detailed and helpful answer, ganja god. I agree with a lot of things you say!

 

[Vader]

I love listening to my beloved rap music, especially snoop dog's Doggystyle album. Also, driving your car, especially on the highway is one of my all time favourite things to do!!!

 

[whataboutheforests]

to manage stress
to forget about my problems
to get high

 

[r0ll!ng...Faced]

because im psychologically addicted

 

[mimi15425]

ummm......cause the sex is awesome!!

 

[nautilus]

To ease the inescapable loneliness of urban life.

To relax and be less anxious.

1. To collect my thoughts, a joint alone once a day is great for me.
2. To slow down my thoughts, my ADHD makes my mind work too fast, MJ helps that.
(2 ties in with 1)
3. Makes boring shit less boring.
4. Gives me something immediate to work for. I work on commission and it helps me wanna earn that extra 300 by the end of the week.
5. Met so many interesting people from passing a spliff in the street or outside a pub.
6. Creates good vibes, sharing a J is a ritual between people, stranger or close friend.
7. Makes funny funnier, movies better.
8. Puts me in relaxed mind set before taking hallucinogens.
9. Widely available, wide range of tastes, smells, highs etc.
10. Easy to create/grow.

Could go on forever.
One reason I don't like smoking weed- the times it gives you those mega munchies.

 

[theotherwoman]

Makes every boring and shitty day much more bearable.

 

[slimvictor]

I use it for creativity and energy.
I make music, write poetry, and do art while high.

I also use it to help me achieve personal insight. It is a tool I use in my psycho-spiritual learning process.

everything is better high,
i know some people would look at this statement and be like "your an addict"
but im not, i smoke lesss then 0.5 a day

I generally agree that many or most things are better high, including food, sex, enjoying nature, music, and the activities I mentioned above.

However, the amount of weed you smoke each day has very little to do with whether you are an addict, IMO.

The psychological need to get high is the main factor.

I have had long periods when I got high every single day. I smoked much, much less than 0.5 grams a day - more like 0.1 - but I felt like I really wanted (needed?) to get high every single night, at least once. I was definitely addicted.

Not the amount of weed,
but the feeling of need.

 

[Ravr]

To enhance media(movies, cartoons) and get over moments of depression.

 

[ikkyu]

For the sensory enhancement, the soothing qualities, and the perspective it gives.

 

[hydrochron]

I used to smoke it to help with my pain. But now I smoke it to make music sound better, food taste better, and to laugh.

 

[SkagKush]

i went from using it to get high also.....but now i use it for medicinal reason....

id be a lier if i said it didnt enhance my life tho......
