Why do you hate Marijuana?

[Peanut21]

I smoke weed to come off drugs.

 

[PyndroP]

Makes me paranoid, anxious. I slur my words and stutter. Can't form a correct sentence for the life of me. Then I freak out about it thinking people think I'm stupid. It slows me down and I get real lazy. I just want to sit and do nothing. I also feel "dirty" when I smoke it, it's weird. Not enjoyable at all.

Oddly enough, when people ask me why I don't smoke and I state the above reasons, they say it makes them feel the same. Ha why anyone would willingly make themselves feel that way everyday, I do not know.

insecure, anxiety-prone people with weak egos and self esteem generally don't like marijuana. confident, strong people whose self worth and and self esteem are strong enough to not be bothered by such a meager psychadellic generally find it relaxing and enjoyable.

I love every second with mary jane. The only thing I hate is when I can't get any.

I don't like weed much but it's great for occasions when you have absolutely nothing to do and you are content with life. If you're sitting in front of the tv or listening to music and just want to unwind then weed can be a much better choice than alcohol or a benzo.

Weed for me isn't a "social" drug because it increases my anxiety far too much. I get uncomfortable and annoyed around other people. I also don't want to talk because I spent too much time thinking about various things. So for me weed is very much a solitary drug to unwind.

I have also used weed in the past for stimulant comedowns. It's good for this purpose as well.

I think the whole scene surrounding weed use is annoying and childish. That's one of the major aspects I dislike.

I suspect that most pot-haters are into stimulants, opioids and other narcotics...fakeness and greed-enhancing drugs don't exactly make you like music and poetry-enhancing ones.

Nope. And weed has never really enhanced music and poetry for me... just made me lazy and silly

I've realised the folly of my statement, though I didn't retract it because I don't mind being seen as a jack-ass

Well im just checkin in for my occasional " I still love weed" post up in this hate filled bitch.

 

[DJL-Train]

weed affects everyone differently....

I smoke bud every day. during work (very respectable job, in which I am a top performer) and when I get home. I only smoke high quality buds-nothing from mexico. only indoor american grown sensimellia. It makes me feel awesome. My thoughts turn happy, music sounds better, food tastes better, I'm more social and it brings out my sense of humor, and life in general seems just more pleasureable. To each his/her own, I guess!


LEGALIZE IT!!

i hate it. makes me anxious/paranoid and (i know it really doesn't) brings about feelings of withdrawal. maybe just because of the anxiety maybe not. who noES!

Im with ya' bro, cannabis is the greatest plant God put on this earth.

 

[Scrabbety]

Weed makes me withdraw. My clothes feel too tight. I feel like I stink. My voice sounds like my whole head is stuffed with mucus. I try to talk and lose focus after the first couple words. After I say anything my brain starts shrieking "Oh god did you just say that? Everyone thinks you're retarded. You're a failure. Stop talking..." My mind starts putting everyone in little categories. God only knows what kind of bad vibes I exude onto other people's trips. Last time I was stoned I was tripping about chemtrails and the mainstream media and the Illuminati and the educational system and how it's all one big move , and the ONLY thing I could postulate into words was a squeaky "Miiiiiind control!"

Just can't be around people. When I'm by myself I see everything belonging in a fractal dimension: cities, societies, personalities, language, technology, history. A spike will redefine our perceptions and then ecosystems will come to fill every niche.

Pot should definitely be legal here, I see it as harmless as beer. It's just a bummer I can't function on it.

i think alot of people who say that shit about weed dont smoke it enough....know how when you first start its all trippy n crazy and whatnot...well thats what happens when you just do it a few times and never get used to it i guess. *shrugs* Yall put too much thought into it. just go with it. i wonder if the same ppl that hate weed hate psychedelics too. i think so. if not thats like one big contradiction if you cant even handle the minor shit of weed and you want to trip on some ego messin with shit like acid or whatever.

 

[PyndroP]

^^ For me, my high changed after I quit smokin' for a year then started up again. I was put on probation and for once I actually did the right thing and stopped smoking. Before probation I never understood how people could hate weed either. But I get a totally different high now. And I LOVE psychedelics. I don't get anxious or feel stupid on it. Psychedelics open up my brain, not inhibit it like weed does.

I'm not understanding why some of you weed smokers are getting so damn defensive over this (this isn't directed @ you lacey) You like weed? Fuckin smoke it. No one in here is tellin you not to. Every drug effects people differently. There is no reason to say someone has a "weak ego" or whatever cause they don't smoke pot. I can blow lines like no tomorrow but I know a few people who get too flipped out on that shit. Doesn't make me any better than them.

 

[user99]

I dont hate weed , what I hate is the fact that I could get busted for buying it. (this is where all the paranoia comes from, at least for me)

As for the effects it gives me, I know what ppl are talking about here, it just comes and goes with me, doesnt last long. If it feels unbearable , I just lay back and try to sleep for a while.

So anyone that doesn't like weed is a insecure, anxiety-ridden wimp?

You call MJ a "meager" psychedelic, but I get far more paranoid on MJ than I do on mushrooms, DXM, or acid. Weed affects everyone differently. To those, like myself, who are extremely sensitive to it, it sure as hell isn't "meager." The vast majority of the bad drug experiences (bad "trip" panic attack, etc.) I have ever had were caused by marijuana, and I have experimented with a plethora of substances.

I like strong psychedelics, and don't like pot anymore because, 1) I just lost interest in it and 2) now that I don't smoke it anymore, guess what? It makes me paranoid and anxious.

Oh, and I have enough self esteem and self confidence to not feel like I have to psychoanalyze/criticise others in general, and certainly not based on nothing more than whether they like to smoke pot or not...%)

no, not everyone, just some.

I used to get the extreme paranoia you describe back when i was a newbie smoker. Then i grew a pair and discovered that pot manifested underlying insecurities and issues i had with myself to begin with. I confronted them, and have been a better person ever since. no anxiety since t hen, just bong hits, brew, and bitches mah nigguh

so, in closing, i don't speak from prejudice or hate, but from experience.

^^^ That;'s great that it has been a vehicle for you to confront your own identity. Maybe with a little more experience you'll take the next step and among other things realize that the only experience that means anything is your own.

I smoked pot daily for a coupla decades, now I don't. When I do, I feel paranoid and anxious. It is an effect of the drug,not because of underlying issues and insecurities - and at my age my testicles dropped a long time ago and I'm pretty comfortable with my issues and insecurities. I don't like it so I don't do it.

Pyschedelics, which are really much more intense when it comes to exposing your inner psyche seem to be no problem for me and a lot of other people that have posted here that they don't like pot.

Maybe those same people that don't feel the same as you don't need to "grow a pair", they are secure enough to admit that they don't like pot because it makes them paranoid and anxious?

I still have a love affair with weed. However, I have not touched any for over a year now and prolly won't for a long while, unless i lose my current GF. she has banned me from weed. (it's one of those things I don't mind giving up but i play it like it's a major sacrifice on my part)

I used to smoke anything you put in front of me in terms of weed. Now, even if I could, unless it was top shit, I won't touch it.

I majored in Landscape Architecture in college and smoking weed made hours of rendering soooo much more bearable but didn't do a damn thing helping me remember the botanical names of 300 woody plants.

Plus, weed is not something I can do and function normally, I'm usually in chill mode when I blaze and don't plan on doing much of anything whilst being fried.

My favorite DC is still xanax and weed along with some kind of opiate, but I doubt I will be doing that anytime soon.

bottom line is that I hate it because I can't use it like i want to anymore.
It's never there when I really want it. (can't find a hookup) and when I do, I get bitched at for doing it. I guess it's more like a love/hate relationship more than anything else.
