Pot linked with 'anti-social' behavior?

Yeah, I love going through my day slightly stoned- just enough so it's just a perceptual change. It makes me feel great, and alive and I want to go out there and keep on livin'!

i like smoking with my friends cuz its more fun and most the time we smoke his weed! but that is ok cuz he is my dealer and he always has lots of weed. i usually smoke my weed with myself, not to be selfish, but i learned about 4 years ago i used to smoke everybody up for free all the time and i was always paying. we were always in my car too, so i had to pay for gas most of the time. so i stopped doing that when i realized that one of my friends didnt hang out with me if i didnt have weed, and how much money i was spending a week on weed.

But now I smoke, and I realize I need to force myself to open up a bit more; pot has helped me do that without too much difficulty.

Ahhh a fellow aspie stoner. :thumbsup: I would say that im alot more sociable when im stoned. :)

The euphoric feeling from cannabis is an amazing thing. I cant begin to describe it. I find it abit like alcohol - gets rid of any inhibitions and i can be free and talk to everyone about anything without feeling embarrased or cautious - not always a good thing to others, but to me it is.

Cannabis is certainly not anti-social.

Damn straight. :thumbsup: I have made friends met new people etc etc thanks to weed. :)

Anti social people may smoke cannabis but it doesn't necessarily link. I will say when i'm high sometimes i'm lost in my thoughts and get quiet, i also prefer to smoke alone because i smoke it pure. I definately prefer to hang out with people who blaze.

I have also. People that i probably wouldnt have even given the time of day - but as soon as 2 people know they both smoke weed it's an automactic friendship - allies.
The whole cannabis culture is part of it too.

Simply, EVERYTHING that cannabis does, and everything to do with cannabis is fun, relaxing and damn enjoyable.

I really cant describe it. It's like love. Un-describable, but a fucking beautiful thing when it happens.

I think people who become "addicted" to weed are more addicted to the eupohia is gives. And really, who wouldnt? Who wouldnt want to feel inner peace, contentment and true happiness all the time?

Most people would think im addicted because i smoke so much, and every day. BUT, if i chose to stop, i could. I just dont want to - i enjoy it too much and it's part of my life. A part that i wouldnt change for anyone. It doesnt cause problems - so why bother? Might as well live a happy worthwhile life! :D:D:D :rastasmoke:

Another thing is that the whole idea of 'psychedelia' is abstract, When I'm stoned, I usually think of things that Others would never understand, you know, they're too abstract and too subjective..

That's a good point. As cannabis smokers we see things, and KNOW things that non smokers would never understand. That gives us the upper hand. We're better people, we're in the right and we're a damn site smarter [we educate ourselves with fact, instead of letting someone else educate us with lies.]
