has anyone ever smoked up after losing a family member?
sorry... i cant imagine it.. how would being high coincide with greiving a loved one.. does it soothe the pain.. or make things worse?
thanks

Kinda let's you be a little more upbeat about the situation, but I mean don't smoke it to forget. Just to calm the nerves. . .
Right after getting the news that my Mother finally suicided (she had tried many times before), a speed freak acquaintance came by to sell me a bag of Columbian. She took one look at me and handed me the baggie saying, "Pay me when you can" and left (hey, that's showing great compassion for a speed freak). The pot didn't stop me crying, but it eased the pain a bit. It helped get me through the worst of it.
thanks guys.. im going through a bit of a shit time right now..
i know drinking and smoking to forget makes things worse..
so im just hopin i can take a few dances with mary jane and just purify my thoughts.. for want of a better phrase
Hang in there! What ever it is, it WILL pass. - Granny:hippy:
No I haven't. And if I did smoke after I heard that some one in the family passed I wouldn't smoke in dedication to that person unless I used to smoke with them lol.
One of my boys was in a car accident a few weeks back and was left with some pretty serious injuries that he has yet to recover from..
We smoked up for him that weekend..
i had pretty bad reactions smoking after my dad died recently.. i found it better to chill out on bud for a while.. fine when i smoke now though
well, when my grandmother died back in '05, i remember wanting a joint every minute of every day for the next 1-1/2 or 2 months, but i was never in the mood for it, if that makes sense.
i see weed as a pleasure-giver, not something to help me cope with shit or to calm me down or chill me out.
idk, it's hard to explain, but the main point is that if i'm going to be sad, i'd rather just let my mind feel the sadness and get through it on its own, instead of trying to keep myself from feeling it. i believe that it's not very healthy to interrupt psychological processes, like the grieving cycle, or w/e its called.
no, it really doesn't. :pimp:Quote:
