question

[GooseBear]

I know I haven't been here for awhile but I got a question.

What if someone told you that you had changed since you started smoking pot and that you don't care about the things you used to. Could you say no that is related from me going to college and experiencing freedom (I'm a freshman in college) or is it something else.

This person said they would tell me if things started getting out of control. I think I am in control but I'm not sure any one have experince with this????

[Looker]

Ah fuck em.....

[SPLIFF ENJOYER]

yea.. im a fresh in college, but ive noticed that im hanging out with friends who smoke pot more then friends who dont... and yea smoking pot does cause you to change interests in a way, but i dunno

[Belleza]

enjoy your freedom shit! of course ur gonna seem different, don't give a shit about what n e one tells you. if u change, then u change. if they don't like it, they can go to hell. keep smokin as long as it's in control with school n all. ;)

Sure, you're looking at things from a different perspective, you have changed. Probably for the better, if you're no fool. (I apologize in advance to whatever fools may be reading this). It's like what happens when you mature faster than your friends; they can't understand why you no longer want to play with dolls and have become interested in tacky adult stuff like music, art, the stock market, and wildly gratifying monkey sex, etc.

It's not a thing to regret, but it's best, I think, to stay in control of yourself and not burn too many bridges. You're still the same old you, just into something different.

Well imo just try and think as hard as you can if you've moved in a better direction, if not then cannabis might not be for you. But I doubt that. I mean look at me, I'm a loser a fucking dumbass piece of crap computer nerd loser. And after went through that 'Door in the Wall' I know that I may always be a nerd loser on the outside but my mind is more complex and beautiful than any asshole with a fast car and lots of money. So the most likely case is that your shift in personality is not either up or down but just more to the side if you get what I'm saying.

4252 nailed it on the head. Be true to yourself, and if you have good friends they'll respect no matter what. But it's good that you have someone willing to warn you if you're getting out of control, sometimes it's the only way to prevent it from happening. As long as that person really cares for you, though :D

daZenfmeister,

[az666]

4252's right

just do what u want. Make sure you dont over do it.
They will grow up and in a few years they wont even remember what you were like b4 the change....hahahaha my advice sucks...oh dear

[Kramerica]

More laid back. I dont smoke as much as used to, but I met my current fiancee when I was a daily stoner, and I realized it was very tough for us to get into an argument. I just didnt let the little things bother me at all, which always seemed to lead to big arguments in past relationships. Thus, we formed a long-lasting, trusting, happy relationship. Thank you weed!
Begin puking now :o

[4252]

I'm unusually verbose tonight, hope you'll forgive me that.

I meant sex like monkeys; you know, uninhibited, happy, sloppy, all that. Not sex with monkeys. Probably you knew that, just wanted to clarify. (laughing my butt off as I write this) Leave those poor little monkeys alone, for God's sake.

Somebody to "pull you back" is really handy to have around. I used to do a lot of LSD, and always appreciated having a friend nearby who was a little bit more sane, just for a reference, if you know what I mean.

Whenever a thread appears in which the "old vs. young" issue comes up, it's discussions like this that make me realize that there's so much wisdom in people who haven't got many years under their belt. Intelligence, wisdom, age, and maturity are not so directly connected as some might think, wouldn't you say?

HEY!

[4252]

:eek: :cool: :cool: :) :D

[GHoSToKeR]

lol 4252, thanks for clarifying! :p

This is the way I see the situation. People change. Sometimes for the worse, sometimes for the better. Weed (in my opinion, of course) changes (most) people for the better.. if weed is changing you, then your friends need to keep up, not slow you down. :)

What I want to know is what gives that person the right to tell you when they think you are "out of control"? I mean as long as you're pot smoking is in moderation, what's the big deal? Some ppl are just not happy unless they are the boss of it all. Some ppl are also very jealous when someone close to them grows and moves on without them. Maybe this person sees you moving on in life like 42 said and doesn't like it. If so, then that's their problem, not yours, Goose.
