What do people like about weed?

I editted a few sentences in this post, but I agree with the stuff I left in. You may never be a diehard weed fan...& that should be OK with any friends you have that toke & those who don't toke.
Some people just don't like that cloudy-head kinda feeling...or that 'over-thinking' that can occur when you are stoned-out & the old cerebellum starts to wander. Who cares what anyone thinks? You do what you feel comfortable doing & never feel pressured to toke/drop/shoot any type of drug, if you're not 100% OK with it. Never let others influence your own mind.

What exactly did you find objectionable in my post? I can't remember what I wrote honestly but I don't see what I could have said that would have been necessary to edit out of my post?

EDIT: Wait a minute that guy is not a mod... Did you just edit it in the quote or was my original post edited.... I'm confused. But hey a nice cone of the Jack Herer will do that do you.

Nothing in your post was offensive or objectionable...& your original post wasn't touched. I just editted out the parts that weren't relevant to what I was talking about. Everything's just as you left it.

Whoa man...you're 1 educated person...at least that's how you sound. My grandparents (from my dad's side) came to the USA from the Ukraine. They were broke-ass upon arriving & made a name for themselves in the mattress industry.
Anyhow, your post was kinda 'deep' & is a bit over my noggin...but 1 thing I must disagree with -- psychological addiction is NOT nearly as difficult to deal with as physical addiction. I know nicotine is physically addicting & that's the substance in cigs. Extremely addicting & both my wife & I smoked for 30+ yrs each. She used hypnosis & she quit. I used will-power & also quit.
I've been tokin weed for 42 yrs & just went 2 weeks without partaking of any puff-puff. The reason beginning that my gall-bladder exploded & I needed emergency surgery to remove it. The surgeon said that in all his years of gall-bladder surgeries, mine was by far the worst he's ever seen. After my stay in the hospital, I could've really toked a few bonghits...but I decided to hold-off until I finished all the antibiotics I was prescribed.
When I had the pills all finished, I did a few bong-blasts & it never tasted so good. I got super ripped & it was a beautiful thing. Maybe some people can't quit old habits too easily, but mind-over-matter is really not that difficult. :\

Lol yeah I've been very well educated in science and engineering. About physical withdrawal... I guess I have a biased view because it has been SO hard for me to quit smoking pot. It sounds like you have been blazing for a really long time and don't have any addiction to it, which is very common. I am a pretty radical/different individual and I can control my use of acid, mushrooms, and mdma really well - all of which I love way more than pot. I can even control cocaine and I've had plenty of cigarettes but never a bad craving. This is just me: I will be a marijuana fiending person for life. Since I am very health conscious, it is simply the only drug I would use on a daily basis - I sleep really well on it, have delicious home-cooked feasts, I exercise really hard when I'm stoned and it's fun, I got a great education when I was stoned 24/7, even for exams. Since being addicted to anything else would fuck up my life too much, I could only ever be a stoner. It is, and always will be, my one and only addiction. But it still fucks my life up - in less detectable ways, but if I search through myself long enough it becomes obvious.

I'm just pointing out most people have a vice and you never know what it's going to be for you until you try it, but it may even turn out to be pot. If there ever comes a day when I can say I legitimately quit it totally, then that will be the greatest and most difficult achievement of my life, regardless of what I engineer, or whatever becomes of me. And I will be a better man for it. But will that day ever come... it's doubtful cause it's just always going to be so easy to smoke socially with pals, and well, because I am completely addicted to it. But at 2 months without it there is at least some hope for me.

I do yoga, take mushrooms and acid, broken plenty of bones and dealt with bad shit, I got a really tough degree ... I consider myself a very strong mind, but smoking pot changes me. This isn't mind-over-matter, this is neurochemistry. I have tried everything to overcome this issue and I simply can't - smoking pot turns me into a pot addicted dumbass for a few days, who will compulsively smoke more and more pot without fail. I wish I could control it but it's an impossibility.

In fact, smoking pot has made me so confused about whether or not I should be smoking pot in the first place that I don't even trust what I am saying here. I don't even know who I am anymore - pot changes me so much that I have been living as someone completely different for the past 5 years. Which life to choose? No other drugs do this to me - nothing else changes my personality so much, leaving me questioning what I should do with myself. Smoking weed has been serious, serious business for me... and it's a drug, lol, it shouldn't be all that serious... usually they are about chilling out, having fun and laughing, even after all wisdom they can impart... that's why we are here, after all. To chill out and have fun. But smoking weed takes that away from me sometimes, it's really just bad side effects I'm getting here.

Yeah rave, believe me, I hear ya...there are certain 'vices' that each 1 of us have & are a real son-of-a-bitch to quit. My toughest 1 thus far has been the cigs, but with a little will-power & self-control, I kicked those nasty bastards. I really wasn't planning on quitting when I did, but after my wife quit thru hypnosis & was diagnosed with emphysema & pulmonary-fibrosis, I knew I couldn't continue to smoke with her in that condition. Luckily, when we moved into my parents' house after they both went to Heaven, we never smoked in this smoke-free house. We'd go out to the attached garage & light-up out there. It's amazing how ciggie-smoke permeates every fabric in its vicinity.
Now don't get me wrong -- that 1st week of no nicotine was a bitch!!:X...I could've chewed nails & spit them out like a piece of dull metal. Then each day it gets easier & easier to cope. Cigs were the hardest because I wasn't seriously ready to quit. The booze? I was sick & tired of waking-up in the morning feeling sick & tired. Quitting alcohol was easy...cuz I was sick of feeling queasy. The weed? (which I've been tokin daily for 42 yrs) was an unexpected quit. However, it wasn't to the point of driving me up-the-wall. I had quit & it never really entered my mind that at 6 p.m., it was time for my daily dose of doobage.
You're correct, though...everyone has 1 certain 'vice' or 'habit' that is a serious problem for them to stop. Once they have that under control, that person oughta be free & clear of any 'anchor' leashing them to their psychological addiction...or something like that!!8(
 
I love it because it helps me sleep, relax, socialize, remedy my physical pain, makes sex AMAZING, makes food taste better, makes me appreciate nature more, the euphoria is quite one in its own, helps break up my process of overthinking ideas, and it makes my anger stay hidden away. Best medicine ever IMO.

Certain drugs just fit people better than others.
 
OP this may sound weird but I said pretty much the same thing when I first started smoking weed. I remember thinking at the moment I realized I was stoned for the first time, "is this what people love and talk about so much..??". I didn't get it. I felt much like you described as well- really confused, and kinda stupid. or maybe really stupid now that i think about it. It wasn't until after two things happened that I really enjoyed weed. I had only smoked about 4-5 times up to this point, and I would always get to high resulting in nausea and usually vomiting. Again, up to this point I didn't really enjoy the high. It was mostly just a social thing that in hindsight I think I might have done party to fit it party out of my own curiosity. Anyways, I was moving out of state which I was pretty bummed about and couldn't sleep one night. I was never really the one in the group to initiate the smoke session, and the sessions tended to be very rare as it was. But that night was different for some reason. When I got high all the shit that was stressing me out seemed not to matter. I think part of it was that I had developed a tolerance to the point where I wouldn't get uncomfortably high, and the other part was that I had a lot that I wanted to get away from. Basically since that night I've never quit, and that night was about 3 years ago. I'm not implying that I can't quit, I know I have somewhat of a negative outlook on marijuana for being a pothead, but I would be lying if I said it wasn't a love-hate relationship. Love the high, hate the side effects. Its how its always has been and how it seems to be with most my stoner friends. I'm sure I've heard damn near all of them both talk about quitting and reflect on their life prior to heavy marijuana use in a nostalgic sense.

I know it seems strange, but it is really typical of any drug. Take two of the most common drugs: alcohol and nicotine. Both have terrible side effects, but the "high" or intoxication caused by said drug is deemed greater than the negative side effects by its users. I know many people as well who express a desire and even intentions to quit, yet lack the actions that follow through. Personally, and I do not have any research to back this claim other than personal experience, but I think that a lot of it has to do with the chemical balance in your brain. Some say that smoking lowers the natural level of the chemical in your brain that deals with stress. IF this is true, then it would follow that one who habitually smokes marijuana would feel anxious/stressed out when not stoned. Dead on with myself. ALSO, it would go to suggest that said stoner might feel a greater flood of these neurotransmitters from smoking if he smokes habitually rather than if he did not due to the chemical depletion. I know my science is skewed, but habitually smoking weed creates at the very least in myself the feeling that I NEED to smoke. This mindset at the very least will cause me to enjoy smoking weed the slightest bit more, if not substantially more.

This post right here is EXACTLY my opinion to the letter...=D
 
I love love love marijuana which is pretty obvious. Anyways the reason I love it is because it gives me this great body high, helps my depression unlike my anti-depressant (pills don't work), allows me to sleep and relax, let's me enjoy life more and everything around me. I also love the flavor and the smell of weed. Also the thick smoke which is perfect for french inhaling and smoke rings. I also love marijuana because it has allowed me to meet and connect with so many great people. To be honest a lot of my best memories had to do when I was high on weed, especially with my friends.

Agree with everything you just said. After spending some time with it I really like it now lol
 
I honestly think you're just thinking about all the possible bad things too much. You should relax and try to have a nice time. Yes I sometimes get anxiety or panic (attacks)but that happens mostly when my mood is 'off' or I'm anticipating a scary (funny) experience. If I do start to panic I take a very small benzo dose (.5 clonaz-I am prescribed 1mg twice daily: or loraz- also prescribed 1 mg every night). Make sure you are in a comfortable environment-with a friend if that is comforting.

As said, though: maybe it's not for you. Why do you feel you need to smoke it even though it scares you/evokes panic (at times)? Cannibas can be great-even as a mood stabilizer-or to help anxiety! Weird, eg? *wink. Experiment with strains if you are able.

i like the smell the taste the color how it looks the act of smoking and if you dont like it yet its not for you theres a drug for everybody and maybe weed aint it
 
It took me 5-6 times of tokin before I actually copped a buzz. I could never get used to the taste of the melting baggie when lighting the doobage. My lungs would burn like hell...I'd cough up blood. Very painful.
Luckily, my buddy said I had to remove the weed from the baggie 1st!!:\8)...[J/K of course][/FONT][/QUOTE]
yeah man
 
Depending on the strain and quality it can be very relaxing, ease away a lot of pain, can help you appreciate your sense of taste (munchies lol), amazing memetic and cognitive experiences, can make sensory perceptions that much more meaningful, and can give you synesthesia in addition to other factors. It really is amazing in that it allows you to function normally if you need to for the most part and at the same time to be somewhere else different than your usual paradigmatic framework.
 
I like that it has so many useful qualities with relatively mild side effects and very little detriment to general functionality (as long as you have a bit of tolerance).

It is suited to just about every situation - it'll cure depression, boredom, a hangover, a stim/psych comedown, insomnia, loss of appetite, general discontent, headaches... It's also very social, pleasant to smoke, intriguing to grow... What's not to like about it? It's great medicine for a ton of different (ordinary everyday) ailments, it makes you enjoy life and think about things in different ways, and you can smoke it without having to compromise the rest of your life very much at all.
