how has pot affected the rest of your life?

ok, so i know it makes you feel good, maybe forget your troubles


but my question is: does smoking weed help you with the rest of your life? does it make you more creative? let you take off stress and refocus? breaks the box of your mind to open it to new ideas?


or does it make you more lazy, unproductive (man i hate that word, but you know what i mean :) ), has it become an obsession to you that you've given up other things in your life for?


i think you get what i'm driving at; how has this plant affected your life? for good? for bad? for both?

Its probably effected me equally good and bad. Its not an obsession to me, it was for awhile but all of a sudden i just realized i dont need it that bad. I mean its just a plant guys shit haha, but keep it blazin homies :jointsmile:

i'm a lazy and unproductive person to begin with but the pot probably makes it worse. but i've also been dealing with anxiety all my life and since i've started smoking its been better. its done some good and some bad.

well me Ive been smokingo for 6 years and for about 5 of those years I was really really obssed with it but then I relized (about 3 months ago lol) its better just to respect mj and not abuse her and only use her once a week or so and in return she always gives me more pleasue this way because of lower tolerance. It also has effected friends because alot of people are against pot and theres way to many people out there who think I am some type of bad crinimal because they believe pot smokers are bad people and those type of ppl that believe in that crap has led me to loosing and preventing making some friends. But I am a lazy person to begin with but when I smoke pot I get very very motivated. I get boosts of creativity when i smoke and I like to write stories and do like computer work when i am high like wokring in flash. It also gets rid of stress, anxiety and always mellows me out and pot has also made me a better person. I dunno what it was but after so long of smoking pot I sorta turned into a hippy because b4 smoking pot I could give a shit less about nature and good morals and all that crap and when i started smoking , I started to appreciate nature more and the good in people and made me have better morals all due to the deep thinking I do when I smoke... so yea toke on... :hippy:

When I'm sober, I'm unproductive and lazy. When I'm high as fuck, I usually like to do the things that I wouldn't like to do when I'm sober like homework for example.

Every day when I wake up my back hurts...I smoke then and throughout the day and it makes it feel better. I will never regularly drink alcohol...nor will I regularly smoke tobacco again...it has saved my life there in more ways than one, I think a lot more wisely, and am considerably more responsible. I can concentrate better in school and at work, I have no issues with anxiety when I have marijuana to smoke, and I'm in shape and healthy :) :thumbsup:

I see the beauty in every little thing, I appreciate music and art better, I'm more in touch with my little world, and my love for nature has grown by a million.

I normally use cannabis once per day. This is always, however, during a time period when I would normally not be doing anything, anyway(1 hour or so before bed). It relieves stress. It helps me relax and wind down after a long day. It is currently the only thing that relieves my GERD, which allows me to eat efficient amounts and sustain a healthy weight.

Cannabis has never in my life caused any negative consequences except for those related to it's legal/social status. I am a productive, sane, and intelligent university student. Cannabis has only done good to me.

it affected me negatively, so i quit.

Its been good, it help me realize a lot of shit I never noticed

Weed has opened up my mind to a whole new train of thinking, extended my social life greatly, and helps me relax and stay stress free.

Weed has made my life better, in more ways than one. One thing I do like is Nature a LOT more, like I could just be outside all day. It has made me more productive, smoking got me back into skateboarding and basketball, (I've actually lost weight 'cause of smoking...^_^) I'm doing better in school, I can focus more, and it takes the stress of all my life away, nowadays I'm just chillin where ever I go not really caring as to what my so called 'problems' are doing. Like I could care less about shit I usually obsessed over.

So it's been all good for me. (And I'm getting a job soon)

Yea to wat everybody said already, i can play catch n do sports better b/c everything is in slow motion n everything juss seems "right", it makes me think of things in a different perspective, and music sounds better wen blazed, but it makes me feel unmotivated n lazy after each session, i think that laziness is the only downfall

Weed made me less depressed....but helped bring out my psycotic side more....but overall I'd say positive....it is a plant that I respect....

sometimes i get really lazy and procrastinate a lot (ok well maybe a bit more often than sometimes haha), but if i know i need to do something important ill take a smoking break or make sure i do whatever i need to do right (high or not, either way). oh yeah and i suck at everything physical when im baked. i have a really active lifestyle, but when im baked i cant even play soccer.

I basically live for Cannabis, me and Cannabis are one. It's so amazing. I still have a normal life and plan to get a good education and all of that but it's just my thing. Some people enjoy modeling cars, some people enjoy basketball, some people enjoy swimming, me..I enjoy Cannabis :).

i used to be out of control with the smoking, and other various drugs, but thats in the past. Yeah weed used to be a bad thing... From others point of view, me i was having the time of my life. I have since then come to terms with the facts of life and have straightend my priorities out. I still smoke weed, but now its in more moderation, and thats a good thing.
weed help me relax and concentrate, mainly on schoolwork. It has made me more comapassionate and understanding of others. It calms me down especially after "violent episodes". Normally i would be very judgemental of others but the weed has helped that, i try to see everyone i meet as a possible friend. It helps relive stress and helps me sleep. I have scoliosis (curvature of your spine) i dont experience pain from it too often but the marijuana helps eliminate whatever pain there is. The herb has also awoken a deep appreciation of art in all forms, be it music, painting, drawings or poety. Weed helped me turn from a loud mouth arrogant asshole who you would probably hate if you werent in my circle of friends into a not one of those things i just said. yeah its time to get high.

I am a lot more productive when I am high, because why bother being lazy? I am already high so I do good things like clean my room, work out, or just talk to people about deep things. I also have a small negative though I started skipping classes to go blaze, but I still think its a more positive effect, beisdes I only skip studies :hippy:

I am constitutionally anxious myself. Especially when I smoke around other people. I try to possess the nervousness instead of letting it get me down. It usually backfires though. Some say that marijuana heightens your anxiety, but I'm stubborn and continue to smoke. No diagnosis. No change.

Well i have earned the rep. of the towns biggest stoner... thats about the only negitive thing, but fuck that, i dont care what all of them old erigant basturds thing, thats just this hick town for you. Mostly for me though, smoking has made me a lot better person in more then one way. I have deeper conversations with people, i also feel for those people more, i care and respect my girlfriend on a far higher level then i ever did. I am more intouch with the little things in life. Things that i see every day, ill take the time out and look at them, and see the signifigance of them. When im working with my dad, i will work a full day, without a fight, i cant say that when im sober. Its calmed me down alot too, I dont worry about how other people are living, my only worry is myself.

i have always been lazy, unproductive, and forgetful, and weed hasnt really affected those areas too much. I am still all of the above, but weed hasnt changed the ammount one way or the other. on the other hand, weed has improved my life a bit too. I am now a deeper thinker, i am never really sad or upset, im always in a good mood (to the point that if im not smiling, people ask me "whats the matter?"). The schooldays and workdays fly by, and honestly, im not in love with this stage of my life, so that isnt a bad thing.
I have made many friends through smoking, it is a great icebreaker and bonding experience, one of the best things to have in a friendship because you guys always have somthing to do when you hang out. and as always, I love being high. I figure if my shit is together, my life has direction, then I can smoke a fucking shitload of weed and it shouldnt matter, as long as my shit is together.

true man, smoking with others is like the 2nd best bond next to sex (that only applies to girls in my case). smoking with some good buddies brings you a LOT closer to them, thats why its probably my favorite thing to do when i go out.

Well, i wanna live in A-dam coz of cannabis =]

It's also changed who i am as a person, in a positive way though. I used to cause trouble and be up for fights but no more. Cannabis has turned me into a pascifist, a philosopher, changed my music taste completely. It's made me happy in times of sadness. It's brought me new friends. I love it and respect it.

I definitely can handle it, but here in Argentina finding good weed it's almost impossible, and i'm not beeing selective wanting the Dankest shit, just don't want to buy the fucking poisoned weed they sell here makes me obsessive about having my own plant.

That's me right there. Since I started I've been a much happier person regardless of intoxication level. I've come to appreciate intricate details I may never have noticed, I sleep better through the night, and I have the ability to stop boredom in its fucking tracks!

Just makes things smooth, which is fine by me :jointsmile:

DAMN! I am really appreciating mary jane's effects on my life right now. Today I played basketball for 5 hours straight, and after that I went to the skate park and skated for about 3 more hours, then went home. Played 1 on 1 with my dad, THEN ate dinner, came back, stayed up until 11 playing some Guitar hero, and doing other random shit. And about 15 minutes I smoked 3 bowls of some good mid, and I'm high as shit. And I'm listening to a Eminem/Jimi Hendrix play list. It feels like my muscles are beating right along on point, with the beat. And I feel great. And I've got chocolate.

theys ay the gvmt limits ppls minds to 2% wen it shoulkd b around 6-10, youd be fuckgin surprized what smoking weed all the time will make you do, thats all i can say, the law of atraction, it helped me with that as well, i have the ability to change things drastically and make good things or bad things come into my life with the use of thought and im able to monitor it carefully to get the best results, some ppl think the worls is to live opressed, its not, its madede to exorcize thought with a mix of faith, and what to you get? WHAT YOU WANT, wanna have as much money as trump? go ahead, but its not gogin to make you happy. exorcize thought my freindds

im not really sure what the last person said, but if you are ragging on my girl MJ, you should check out some of the research that has been done on her. She can inhibit lung cancer in smokers, relieve pain in the sick and handicapped, help the sight impared to see, expand your horizons, calm your inner turmoil and help you appreciate life. she sounds kinda like Jesus, huh?

ive been smoking for about a year. i was pretty lazy beforehand, pot hasnt helped it nor worsened it. it hasnt really changed me much, im more social, but other than that, nothing.

Ive suffered from chronic depression most of my life from age 9 to age 18 I suffer from insomnia I have a jaded point of view on life and do miserably at school even though I was certified as a genius during the 4th grade. I smoked a few times from age 14 to 17 and now smoke reguraly. I dont have depression anymore and I can just sit in class stoned and do my work with a smile on my face. Weed has made my life more bearable and is one of the few things I look forward to

pot does me good when im high and thinkin (of course lol my friends) i think about my troubles and how i can fix them in a different light as other people would look at them

Depends on yourself

Weed has freed me from the brainwashing that almost everyone gets when there young. I opened my mind up to what life is really about. If you dont believe in god like me then life really is pointless and our soul purpose is to mate and reproduce. Downside to that is because of this I am really cynical about life and think this whole world is fucked up and I hope we see armaggedon soon. I really hate all the fucked up little games people play.
