pot changes people

[newbySmoker]

My buddy went to college and started smoking several times a day , now hes different . All he cares about is smoking , its all thats on his mind. We cant hang out like we used to cause its ALL he think about . Whatever .. seeing how weed changed him makes me wanna quit all together. Not saying it changes everyone the same way ,,, but there is a chance it can change your personality , and not for the better.

[sharpezor]

lol @ calling it "pot"

i think he'll get over it. that probably just has something to do with being new. i was likike that when i was new.

[Escher]

haha pot my mom calls it pot

[kman]

i ussually stick to the ord weed...unless im saying like" o yah im a pot smoker"

[newbySmoker]

hes not really new , been in college 6 months now and smoked like 4 months before it started .. think he would be over any newby stuff .. seein as how he smokes 4 + times aday for last 6 months alone

[Aristotle]

Let me guess, when you confront him about it he always says "I'm trying to cut back," but then 10 minutes later he's talking about going to get more?

My friend is exactly like that.

[Chondo]

i had a friend who wouldn't even want to drink beer cuz it could affect his b-ball skillz. then he started smoking and drinking all the time, then popped pills all the time, then did coke and all that other shit all the time. then he went to rehab and is now in cali in some christian club thingy.

it's not weed that changes people, it's their personality

[potsmokersinceiwas9]

dam tha sucks dont ever happen to me i smoke and do wutever else i feel like

[Esoteric416]

I also have a friend that is obsessed with smoking, he's the closest I've seen to a reefer addict. But he als has a passion for pitbulls, he's always telling me about the latest book he read about breeding and such, he can also tell you the geneology of all his dogs going back six or seven generations.
People just get obsessed with stuff from time to time, I smoked every day alot more than four times a day for like two years when I lived with a friend who was dealing(and this was chronic not shwag) then one day I just sort of got bored with it for awhile. I stopped smoking for several months even though everyone around me still blazed constantly. when I started again I smoked much less frequently. you friend will probably go through a similar cycle.
If not just club him over the head, stuff him in a large sack and haul him off to rehab. JK, that's terrible.

[Cleveland]

everyone around here has no problem calling it pot. but i usually say bud or chiba

[opiuser]

REEFERS

its all in the personality man... i know lots of people who are burnouts... but i know more people who smoke bud and raise families, keep good jobs, and live pretty much like every non toker except they get high.

you can choose who you want to be. your mind is what makes you what you are

[imagoober]

after about a year of smoking i i got kinda obsessed with it to. i could tell when i started to talk about it that my friends were thinking here we go again, but after a while i moved on past that point, maybe he will to.

[Dankmike]

well its not weed its your friend , it depends on how they are truly. me when i start a habit i get into that habit hardcore. tell him to just take a break or something.. im fuckin high

sorry to pop your bubble but your frien IS a new smoker...believe me...not even one year in your life won't change a thing...like everybody said your friend is a problem, not pot, as he is growing like every human and trying to find a purpous to his life, and maybe now he's thinking pot is the solution or whatever...but pot is good in the way that he'll find his own way soon...if he drops out in other drugs, it was meant to be...I understand him as pot can be a real passion, just like wine for some people...so don't think he's an ass because he always talk about pot, let him be...

-Peace out :dance:

[pixel]

Sometimes I wonder if I could have a good fun night out without pot. I came to the conclusion that yes I could, but it would never be AS good. I think that's a good place to stand if you stand there for awhile.

[3rdEyeVision]

your friend needs to hang out with different people, if he hangs out with people that don't smoke bud the need to smoke will be alot less,and he'll feel like more of a douchebag talking about weed all the time because people who don't smoke just don't care

[partyguy420]

not every one is like that, i mean, one of my friends is like that, but his older brother is like he could careless if he did or didnt smoke pot, i mean, sum one can offer the older guy a bowl and he will just shrug his sholders and say if u wana.

[NightProwler]

i've seen it change people like that before. it's been close to changing me but im a smarter smoker now.

[DiLoS]

That is very true. I don't hang out with the same people as much as I did last year, and I have cut back quite a bit. Or it could also be because I don't got the fucking cash to do it as much lol.

Maybe he likes being high and doesn't wanta hang out with someone who is against him getting high all the time. I guarantee he would much rather hang out with you if you just accepted the fact that he's a pothead like 95% of us in here. How has it made him a worse person?

[Bonger]

^^^^ True That.

[LightGreen]

Some people and im one of em get addicted to things and doing things very quick. Its like once we find something we like to love to do we just want to do it as much as possible, its like we arent happy unless we are obsessed or addicted to something and if we arent doing it we dont feel right. I love smoking too much which is bad cause i have asma and i still wont slow down even though my gurl wants me to and i wake up throwing up sometimes and breathing when i first wake up is hard

[rzaodb6]

Theres so many different kinds of smokers that you really cant generalize the smoker as a whole. Its like defining a race. People go in cycles let it ride.

[TheTHCInMe]

Sounds like your friend doesn't give MJ the respect she deserves. Newb smokers always overdo it and abuse the sacred herb. He'll get over it eventually, when he realizes that he's taken all the fun out of his smoking ritual by giving himself an insane THC tolerance.

[VoidLivesOn]

Go ahead and quit.Someone with your attitude shouldn't be smoking anyway.Blaming your friends problems on the bud was your first problem in the first place.Newby smoker really suits ya.

watch and learn kid.

dude, you have .. by far.. THE COOLEST icon/avatar on this forum... what site did you get that off of? im hoping to find a Wallpaper image of that... absolutly mind blowing

[justinsane]

oh man. i have a friend that is fucking terrible with pot
let me enlighten you

when hes not high, hes really boring, quiet, and kinda depressed
but when hes high, hes the funnest person ive ever hung out with.
so im in quite a bind.

but, he NEVER has money, NEVER has weed, NEVER has anything.
i drive around, smoke him up, and buy food and shit...

what pisses me off more, if we're at a house and theres alot of people there, ill say, dont let them know i have weed because theyll all mooch, and he'll go ahead and want to smoke my weed with them and ill get really pissed and not smoke

and we'll smoke, and 10 minutes later he'll want to go back out and smoke again. and he'll do this until he passes out from smoking too much and getting too tired. it really sucks, but at the same time, ive had my best adventures and joke with this kid. oh well. im sure it might pay off someday.

Why do you care if he likes to toke a lot? I don't see how that's changed him for the worse =/ Go back to DARE class.

Weed can have a negative effect on people , whether any of you wanna think it are not . Not saying it will have this effect on everyone . But when your to the point where you cant go 5 mins without smoking , or go to the movies without smoking or spend all your cash and are in debt and dont care about any of it . You have a problem , plain and simple . Oh yea and void you can kiss my arse please =X

[newbySmoker]

Why do you care if he likes to toke a lot? I don't see how that's changed him for the worse =/ Go back to DARE class.

Cause he has lost track of his life , and not staying focused on the more important things.

Ill do as a please , and you dont have the right to say who should and shouldnt be smoking . And my friends problems started after he started smoking alot , connect the dots kid . Not saying there arent other factors involved , cause im sure there is . So please think before you speak .

Agreed!!

Personal Rant: I flippin HATE it when I hear people speak such nonsense such as "Pot changes people!" "Marijuana is the gateway drug to coke and herion!" A person can make their own choices and you can't blame it on the weed. that's just bull poop. Its a natural plant put on Earth for a reason by God. :) I love my mary jane

Herb made me less violent, and it helped my girlfriend get over some depression. . . :thumbsup:

[buhman200]

While I sympathize with your friend's troubles, marijuana has had a completely different effect for me. Before I started smoking, I was extremely anal-retentive and difficult to get along with. I was repeatedly told by my closest friends that I could quite an ass-hole. In addition, I was depressed for most of my high school and early college career. I like to think I am a much different person after a year of smoking. I am a lot more laid back, am much easier to get along with, am no longer depressed, and have made quite a few new friends along the way. So.... you're right, mairjuana -can- change people, but -how- it will do so is, in my opinion, more of a function of the person than the pot.

[MotleyCrueBoy24]

fuck I hate that word "pot"

FUCK IT...and FUCK THE ASSHOLES WHO USE IT.

[robert42]

to each his own your friend has become self centered,

nothing changes anyone, people change cos they wanna change and pot was just his catalyst

[iPot]

How dare you.

Of course it does, everything you consume changes you.

[Mean Green Charlene]

it's not weed that changes people, it's their personality

^^^^

[iPot]

I totally agree, i have always argues the catalyst thing. You can't always change into what you want though, because of the decay in civilisation.

[orangeman]

Yeah weed changes some people for the worse and some for the best. It actually helped me. I don't ever seem depressed anymore at all and I never think about death. It seems like that'd be with anyone but it used to be a big problem with me and I always used to worry. I never worry anymore therefore there is no more stress and no depressing thoughts. I'm still going through a lot but nothing else or no one else really encourages me for me to feel like this so I'm pretty sure it's weed that helped me through the hard times up to this point lol.

[thenicksmokes]

You need to be less critical of your friend. It is likely he has other isues and is self medicating with weed. How about just trying to help him instead of being so critical of his smoking? Go alone somewher with him, get stoned with him and then ask him if there are things bothering him that you can discuss with him as a friend. Weed is great but doing some things sober is fun too so either he is just in his inital love affair with Miss Maryjasne (Haven't we all been there?) or he has personal issues that are troubling him that he does not want to face. Make it clear that you are his friend no matter what. And then ask him what is bothering him.

weed is supposed to help asthma

[lazy smoker7]

its dosent change ppl.. you are very wrong its simply his personality. he started something new that he enjoys and must really really enjoy it... so its a part of him.. his life style.. he didnt change he just found something he really enjoys ... such as my self. I can smoke all day every day and talk about it for hours all day... its my fav thing to talk about... but usualy I wont try to talk about it if i nottice the person i am talking to dosent like it so then il talk about other stuff.. or i always try not to mention pot to new ppl i meet because alot of ppl are against it.. just tell him to talk about sumthing dif around you and I am pretty sure he will. Just dont tell him to stop or anything because he will only stop unless he truley wants to. and if some one enjoys smoking more than you... i dont understand why that would make you want to stop completely unless u dont ejoy smoking it anymore... because if u stop its not going to make him enjoy it less..

[Specialty Cakes]

I'm pretty new, and I can see it bringing out a new side of me, and it's kinda freakin me out. I hate it, cause lately I've been smokin more and more, and like, my buddy whose been doing it for like, 3 years thinks I'm a fiend cause I can't think of other shit to talk about... I hate that, but it's like, I dunno, a new toy? or some shit like that, you know, like when you get a brand new game system or a new bike, or some shit like that, and you keep talkin about it to your bike enthusiast or omega-gamer 1337 H4X0R friends. I've got a feeling I'll get over it, it's just right now I'm revelling in it... I'm not quite sure what I'm talking about, I'm baked...

[BigHyphyD]

Since we are all talking about cycles, I feel the need to talk about my cycle I'm giong through now.

Smoked for 5 years, I'm a Junior now in High school. It's gotten to the point where I just want to smoke and chill. I've become anti social. Anti-social is a little harsh way to put it, but I've become a thinker and all I do is think inside my head.

I've quite smoking on the weekends because I need to hang out with girls and shit but whenever I hang out with hot girls, and I'm high, I'm passive and quiet and all my friends get the girls. I'm just going to be sober on the weekends now and I already have for last weekend, and It's already helped. I'm already talking to this beautiful blonde girl. lol.

anyways, my point is if weed is affecting your life negatively like it was for me, I say stop doing it.

[lazy smoker7]

oh also your not going to turn into a person who loves pot and talks about it all the time such as my self because you would have alrdy... it just depends on a persons personality.. so dont be scared... weed isnt going to grow in your brain and take over lol.... its the same for religious ppl who talk about god all day... its because thats what they like to talk about... its the same if u look at a person who plays on the computer all the time... of course that kid is going to talk about playing games most of the time so the same thing can happen if you get a mental addiction to pot because its sumtin he enjoys to do... it dosent change ppl then if it does then u would have to consider food, games and the other stuff also change ppl just the same as weed does.

[lazy smoker7]

super sonic said "Maybe he likes being high and doesn't wanta hang out with someone who is against him getting high all the time. I guarantee he would much rather hang out with you if you just accepted the fact that he's a pothead like 95% of us in here. How has it made him a worse person?" that is a very true statement.... supersonic this is what i wanted to say but couldent find the words... and sober ppl that i can be around and dont mind if i am high are some of the most amazing ppl in this world.. compared to those who hate me because I smoke a herb which helps me think about life and the good things about it... a herb that makes me more peaceful and acutally does help me think things out and sort things out... if it wasnt for pot I wouldent have ever gotten the awesome thoughts about this life and nature and I wouldent even value the world as much as I do now. Yes even when i am sober it helps me appreciate this world just so much fucking more after remembering the uplifting thoughts i get while high and in general makes me a happier person compared to b4 i even smoked pot.

[MotleyCrueBoy24]

Weed changes you?! I never knew this!!! I just smoked it because I thought it tasted good......gooo fuck yourself.

[FreeVenice]

fuck I hate that word "pot"

FUCK IT...and FUCK THE ASSHOLES WHO USE IT.

I wounder if the word "pot", just was translated from that "pass the Dutchy" song. . .

it's not weed that changes people, it's their personality



yeah i saw that movie too, "Basketball Diaries"

[lazy smoker7]

I bet newby smoker is close minded and dosent believe us that weed does not change ppl because any substance no matter what it is can change some one which means food,girls,movies,hobbys etc... . I bet hes gonna turn into one of those people that go against weed and be one of those people who contribute to all the people in jail right now for weed. So I simply have 1 thing to say :S4: and your friend deserves more respect from you but, instead u probally dont even want to be around him because he likes to toke. So I gonna say it again :S4: :D

[The.Devil.Himself]

^ that might be a bit harsh.

Haven't you ever had a good friend that you had respect for start doing things or acting in a way that made you have LESS respect?

I know where he's coming from.

[lifeROLLSon]

This is the truth. I'm 27 and it's been my experience for over 10 years now.

well yea i guess it can be harsh and I am sorry.. but I was sorta kidding the middle finger icon is so funny lol i just wanted to use them so badly.... but I was just a little angry that hes one of the people like him that start negative stuff thats not true about pot and in return of enuf of that negative stuff supports people going to a horrible place like jail because less ppl will support its legalization for somking gods herb and in return it makes tons of ppl have less respect for me because they think I am some type of crack fien because I smoke bud cuz of the "gateway bullshit". .. Ive had ppl not want to talk to me after they saw my shirt with a pot leaf on it etc... because they think I wanna do stuff like crimes and other nonsence that people start propoganda that weed smokers are dangerous... I smoke herb and I am peaceful and I loe nature.. anyways sorry if i offended u i just saying you shoudlent blame the herb and you should respect everyons rights to smoke herb also... if he likes to smoke herb all day every day... its in his heart to do so... why go around making up stuff making ppl hate marijuana more...

[santa]

REEFERS

its all in the personality man... i know lots of people who are burnouts... but i know more people who smoke bud and raise families, keep good jobs, and live pretty much like every non toker except they get high.

you can choose who you want to be. your mind is what makes you what you are

yeah.. thats bang on.. some people do have addictive personalities.. and we all know that it effects everyone differently..

there's some statistics somewhere on the likelihood of becoming psychologically addicted.. but yeah.. it does definately happen

[BluBerrywidow]

i love pot, weed makes me the awesome person i am

[Nochowderforyou]

I don't know about you people, but smoking pot makes me feel extra sexy.

[affasd]

i smoked weed once

[horror business]

I had a friend that thought all I cared about was weed. He and I both are musicians, and at the time, he only smoked every once in a while which was rare. Now, we are in a band together, and get things accomplished. I still smoke just as much as I used to, probably more, but he smokes more too, so he no longer thinks that it's all I care about.

I mean, I get high everyday, but I also listen to the same song everyday, I eat everyday, etc... but it's not all I care about, it's just something I do.

[horror business]

Oh, I don't call it pot. When I'm talking to my friends we usually call it weed. I like the word marijuana, but not that many people use it.

[horror business]

But at the same time, I have nothing but respect for marijuana, and it's one of my favorite things in life. I could (and sometimes do) stare at one of the Cannabibles for hours. The scent of gourmet cannabis is my favorite sent. My favorite flavor out of all foods/drinks/everything is the flavor of gourmet weed. Nothing makes me more happy than scoring top quality creme of the crop. The drive up to get it. The guy smiling and assuring me it will be amazing. Me creating a mental image of how I think it will look/smell/taste. Them getting in the vehical, and me instantly smelling it, and them showing me the bag, and seeing the giant round hairy buds. The dealer grinding some up in his grinder, and then opening it up in front of my nose for me to smell the amazing array of scents. Us going on a roadie and me getting BLAAZED. Then us dropping the dealer off at his place, and us going home, with me happy that I have top quality cannabis!

So, I wouldn't say weed controls my life, but it inspires it. It makes me happy. I appreciate the nice things in life better. I'm easier to get along with while high, and it puts me in the mood to play and write music, where I can entirely focus on what I'm doing, so while it's a big part of my life, I wouldn't say it's a deterant(sp).

Peace,
horror business :rasta:

My buddy went to college and started smoking several times a day , now hes different . All he cares about is smoking , its all thats on his mind. We cant hang out like we used to cause its ALL he think about . Whatever .. seeing how weed changed him makes me wanna quit all together. Not saying it changes everyone the same way ,,, but there is a chance it can change your personality , and not for the better.

weed will NOT change your personality, which has been formed through years of social conditioning etc. your friend probably has a fetish for doing illegal things. the fact that weed is illegal just makes him want to do it more.

the same phenomenon occurs with underage drinking...once you're 21 and it's legal to drink, drinking loses some of its appeal (or all of its appeal, in some cases).

[higher4hockey]

after about a year of smoking i i got kinda obsessed with it to. i could tell when i started to talk about it that my friends were thinking here we go again, but after a while i moved on past that point, maybe he will to.

i think every toker goes through something like that at one point or another.

[Specialty Cakes]

I don't know about you people, but smoking pot makes me feel extra sexy.

wow

couldn'ta said it better
