Pain relief. It's great for my foot that still bothers me from a break.
Mellows me out.
Calms me down.
Boosts creativity.
Makes me happy.
Helps me to sleep, but I have to smoke a shitload because I get insomnia frequently, and it can be strong.
So, so far it has helped me with broken foot pain, nausea, anxiety, depression, and insomnia.
And, of course, I love to get high!
I am dry right now, but it's cool because with weed, there are no withdrawals.
pain relief. it is the ONLY thing i can take that gives me relief from arthritis.
All that plusQuote:

Indicas give me a great nights rest, where i can wake up the next day with a stabilized mood, much less anxiety than usual, and energy i need to get through the day.
It relaxes me
makes arthritis pain less so that I can move better
makes it easier to focus
it cures head aches
and believe it or not it seems helps keep my farts dry.

Cannabis helps me slow down to take in a broader view of the world and myself. It also inspires me to have more faith in myself, since I love to be stoned I must learn to adapt to my world in a new way. My personality is perfectly fit for cannabis since I can let the herb take me to far away places in terms of creativity and change.
Not to get off topic but WTF Stormcrow! Why would anyone hit a 3year old in the head with a hammer?! Thats terrible, glad you found weed!
back on topic: I smoke and eat weed for chronic pain..11 fractured
vertebra and a host of other health problems.
I literally could not live a half way normal life without it.
Also I paint so it's great in the creativity department
And I think sex is better with weed. I know orgasms are greater.
You asked. :D I tell.
You hit the nail right on the head skater! I too went through the getting completely stoned off my ass and sitting infront of my TV playing 360 stage, but I find it didn't do anything for me but make me feel like a stereotypical pothead (which I am not!) I find the group of people I hang out with at school, away from all of my lifelong friends, are the stereotypical stoners, just doing it because its "cool", where my longtime friends and I have a true passion and understanding.Quote:

Just some ramblings.
It is the best cure for a hangover, which I am suffering from right now. I going to work stoned :)
It dramatically relieves me of my depression, some strains help me sleep better, others keep me awake. I can socialize with anybody without one bit of nervousness while high. I get cravings for healthy food, i don't like eating junk food when i'm loaded. I have mild tourettes, little ticks and twitches, not too noticable unless you've known me for years, cannabis has reduced the number of ticks i've had over the years. I haven't had a tick in about a month now.
It's another form of consciousness for me. Lately I've discovered that I have gorgeous kaleidescope-like closed-eye visuals when I indulge in some Super OG Kush. It's really just a way to have different thoughts for me, some of them are stupid, some are brilliant.
The sleep is a bonus as well.
I definetely see things in a different perspective. I really appreciate the little things I don't think about of take for granted.
ALSO, probably the best part is that i notice tons of little details in movies that I never did before, whether it is something/someone in the background or a look someone gives. It also gets me to realize how over dramatic actors really are.
IT GETS ME STONED. :stoned:
so true.Quote:

lets me enjoy the simpler things in life
It by no means makes life better, but it definitely helps me notice how good it is.
Damn right.Quote:

The anxiety then began to build up as i didnt want to take pills, i hate pills, i dont even take nurofen when i get serious headaches, no pain killers etc etc.
So i came off the pills completely while i was playing football, couldn't cope really.
this is such a long fucking story im sorry but to just sum up
i use the weed now to RELAX thats about it, i work in property (not today) busted my hand cant drive (another long story)
i work in a stressful environment but i dont need to smoke as my mind is occupied im normally out of the office running around like a headless chicken so my energy is very much chanelled while i work.
When i come home and want to chill i CANT without a joint my anxiety will be so harsh in the pit of my stomach that its hard to breathe, eat and sleep, i will shake constantly and its just not a good place to be in believe me.
keep toking, keep smiling, keep burning :rastasmoke:
I believe it is a natural healing plant
it increases the positive-
creativity, self-awareness, relaxation, focus
and decreases the negative -
pain, anxiety, aggression, insomnia, depression
anyone can grow it
everyone should
stupid culture
to reject such a boon to life
this is such a good thread that expresses the positivity of this miracle plant.
If we only could share the truth of what this plant does for people to the world then we increase our chances for legalization and decriminalization and all that other good stuff..
Yes i forgot it helps relaxation.. :thumbsup:but im always so relaxed to begin with....;)
id like to say it has helped me evolve into the person that i have become.
If i never smoked, i wouldnt be half the person i am today.:thumbsup:
I agree with this all the way.Quote:

this is a good thread. I like a lot of things about cannabis. When I'm high, I'm open and free like a child. I can process things more easily because it feels like my normal filters are bypassed. I also like working in my home recording studio because I can hear things in the stereo field of the monitors with more depth. My favorite effect of cannabis is the sense of meaning I get from incoming stimuli. I say sense because I've learned over the years that the interpretations of these meanings are sometimes off, but the feeling is great. I love to get a great stone on, and gather all these great insights and ideas ( I write a lot of them down). Then when I'm sober, I will suss out the ideas and see what makes sense and what doesn't. I have come up with many cool insights this way. I will say this though, for me personally, If I smoke more than a couple times a week, it can make the depression that I suffer from worse. The way my depression manifests is in a lack of desire to engage in life. This has caused me to look at cannabis as just another good thing in life to enjoy in moderation. I wish I could smoke everyday but I can't. I also like the fact that it can create instant bonds with people from so many different walks of life based solely on the fact that both individuals smoke cannabis. I really do wish our government would get its head out of its ass and let informed, responsible citizens make their own choices about what goes into their bodies. No one ever asked my opinion when those drug laws were passed and I say, "who is the government to tell me that I can't use the plants that God gave for my happiness and enrichment." Sorry for the long response, but this thread got me going.
Cannabis is a medicine to me. It makes me less impulsive, more attentive, less talkative, more inquisitive, less disrespectful, more intelligent, and it also gets me high.
Pain reliever,helps with my depression,stress level and just about everything else in the world!
I smoke because I just enjoy the way your mind goes to completly different places. And I love how music is 10x more enjoyable
and its a great way to end a stressful week
hey I know exactley what you meen jah rastafarI!!!!!!
I smoke weed because it's been helping me develop a more complete personality. When I'm high, I'm more open, I'm smarter, and I think of the right things most of the time. I'm more social, which has resulted in me getting closer with my friends.
I'm a naturally shy person cause I got bullied in elementary school, but I'm growing out of it and weed is helping me do that.
oh also, I love to trip balls :jointsmile:
A mental release happens that has power over my body and mind that I couldn't otherwise reach without it. And having this power to be able to change yourself for the best gives you knowledge. It has helped me observe things more carefully and has made me become closer to what I really am and the roots of life itself.
It brings out creativity and awareness in me.
I relax and have positive thoughts.
I become funnier.
I think deeper and more open-mindedly.
Cannabis has made a very positive effect on me because it made me a better person overall. I look back and see myself racing with road rage to work, or stressing out at home with family problems and the yelling, then there's work issues, my physical well being and any problems I may have and they all seem more "acceptable" all of a sudden and I can find a way to incorporate all these into my life like a puzzle and make them all work in synergy.
You are almost "free" and all the world shuts up and gives you peace for a minute. You could say it brings you closer to the roots of being a human and lets you be in a state of clarity, untouched by worldly rules.
Many people use cannabis for the wrong reasons and merely to get "high" but there really is a bigger meaning behind being "high." Use it as a tool to take the boundaries of yourself a step above and reach for something new, something better, a new better version of yourself. Use it right.
Closer to god?...damn I want what you're smokin!:DQuote:

Peace:hippy:
"Causing me to be more sensitive to things resulting in deeper understandings."
Definetly for me. Used to hate classical music, but heard it whilst high and it opened my eyes you know, to all the emotion portrayed through the music, what the composer must've been like, what he was thinking. Good stuff.
it bring me to the inner me.
i think about things i never would if i was sober
ive realized things and done things i never would if i was sober.
it helps me sleep fast and have good dreams (lucid dreams).
it helps me leave reality and all the bullsiht problems i have.
its a way to be happy for me.
without it...my life would be boring.
I use cannabis to help me sleep, it calms me down, it makes me mellow, and music is more enjoyable. I also use it as an aid in meditation and prayer, and as an offering to the Gods.
Unfortunately these buttheads don't understand that this plant is a gift from the Gods.
Cannabis does many things for me.
-It helps me relax after long stressful days
-It's the strongest/best painkiller I care to take (I hate pills)
-It helps me do the chores i really hate doing (clean the bathroom, change water in the fish tank, sweep and mop the floors in my kitchen/living room, dishes)
-With the right dose, it helps me ignore my ADD and study for school
-It's a good topic for conversation with a very wide range of people (including my ultra-conservative dad)
-It helps me appreciate tons of new music and art
-Last but not least, it's opened my mind to a much more moderate approach to the world i live in. It's OK to have extremes, but it's not OK to let your life be controlled by them.
I hope everyone can gain these same benefits from cannabis!
Happy chiefin'!
My list is going to sound like a repeat of everyone else's, but here goes:
- It helps me with my depression. I feel down or depressed easily, especially as of late. I've never been popular or had many friends, and I've been shy most of my life, so it helps relieve the sadness I feel sometimes.
- I get stressed easily, so it helps me deal with stress and winding down at the end of a long day.
- Depending on how much I smoke, it makes me comfortable around people. People that I know well and am close with, I'm fine, but meeting new people, I'm pretty shy. If I smoke just a little bit, it doesn't affect how I look (red/droopy eyes) and I feel really calm and I'm able to converse easier.
- I've never been creative, but I'm interested in trying.
- It helps me gain some weight. I'm 6'1" and 145lbs. When I get munchies, I try to eat food that's not horrible but will help me gain weight. My weight doesn't really match my height.
It makes me poop easyier
I am, by temperament, very anxious. Sometimes it is hard for me to slow down and take time for myself to relax. I use cannabis to set aside a chunk of alone time to just think and introspect.
I don't like to smoke with other people. I don't do it for social reasons, more like for psychological anxiety as a meditative exercise, so it messes with my high if I'm trying to socialize.
I also like it for physical pain or when I'm sick. Really takes the edge off.
it helps me stay open minded also.
it really helps me to relax. As a result I usually end up getting a nicer rested sleep. It really does provide a sense of calming and well-being.
I thought about this really good and it really depends on the situation. If I smoke dank weed I get like really euphoric and Im happy, more social, up beat, comfortable, Bashfull, basicly every things beautiful. If I smoke swag I really just zone out really bad on w/e it is im thinking, My vision gets blurry sometimes, I get parinoia, anxiety, and just feel totally out of place like dissociation. It helps if I chase it with prescription pills or booze or w/e. The situation totally gets me tho, If its quiet or boring Ill totally get spaced, If its really alive ill be over the top. Bascily a mood enhancer for me. I plan my smoking now to certain activities.
Like all substances I prefer reasoning use as compaired to my past when I smoked recklessly and abused.
