For those that smoke weed. Just out of curiousity, what is your reason? Like, if someone was to go up to you and ask you, WHY DO YOU SMOKE WEED?
What would be your response?
(intelligent responses please)

So I:stoned: can be high!
I'd tell them to take a seat. And explain how, of all the drugs I've done in my life, I was only smoking weed when I made the dean's list at college.
:dance: i know, i know. it's because weed connect directly to my soul. then i talk with God, which is in my thoughts, and we talk about everything and nothing:stoned: is that right, or we must do like the other do? :thumbsup:
God, also, tells you what is wrong with your body, Samthomas.Quote:

It was standing-room only in my little old trailer and i had their complete attention..lol. I was so insistent,that the lead investigator actually put that in his report..that I "smoke marijuana,to relieve my back pain".
What was my 'crime' ? I was guilty of recieving very small gifts of compassion,in the mail..from other medical marijuana patients. Need-less to say..I now turn down such gifts.
You see,with medical marijuana,I can eliminate the dangerous prescription drugs,but society insists that I take em and suffer from their ill side-effects and such.
So..if someone ever asks me that question,they'll git one heck of an answer,from me !:thumbsup:
Have a good one ! :stoned:
I smoke weed because 1: There are noticeable after effects on me.2:Its as cheap as chips compared to alcohol 3: I can happily party by myself if necessary 4:I have never experienced violence among smokers 5:I've never had a negative experience after lighting up
I made this thread before you :)!

Weed=good =)
I do it cause its a social thing, in China people bring apples as a gift to peoples houses, me, I bring a fat sack and get stoned to shit with my buddies.
A social thing? Dude only get high, if you wanna get high... Not cuz it's a "social thing"...Quote:

Not only are you having fun, but you are also learning for yourself about the benefits and risks. Someday you may have a medical condition and society/doctors/government will be telling you that MJ is evil, illegal and can't help. At that point, you'll know the truth and will be able to make an informed decision.Quote:

It is the surefire antidote to a crappy day and can raise my bad mood faster than anything else. It allows me to be a more patient, creative person and more interactive and loving to those around me.
well because it was beter than alcohol i used to be a heavy drinker till i was introuduced to weed and i rarely drink now.

But just a few tokes and I get instant, although temporary, relief. Since my doctors say I'll never live without pain, temporary relief keeps me off of disability, and keeps me from having to sponge off of the taxes of others to support me. I don't even really think about the high at this stage of life, just relief from pain, and release from stress caused by pain.
Take care man, and have a great weekend.
Onward!
It makes me happy:dance:
That's really the only reason other than it distorts my sense of reality in a positive way and allows me to view situations from alternate angles.:upsidedow
It's like you have an opinion about somehting then you get high and ask yourself for a 2nd opinion...:what:
Exact same reason I smoke..also it makes me see everything 100% real.Quote:

It's also a nice way to chill out in a group, and we always come up with random things to talk about and do.
For many reasons. Different reasons at different times. Mostly because I like it. haha, especially this huge ass blueberry nug I have right now.

Damn Psychopixi , u make me wanna move to the UK! haha
Well, basically I smoke for some of the same reasons that someone may want to drink a brew or two at the end of a day...to take the edge off, to relax, to unwind.
I smoke every friday to relieve the stress of the week. I can relax 100%.
I used to go to the park and get absolutely pissed every week. Now I get stoned and don't feel rotton all through saturday.
I also blaze because I can appreciate music so much more. I sit back and let the music take over me.
To relax, it also helped me through depression/anxiety issues a few years back.
I enjoy everything alot more, think alot more and generally have a much better day when im high :)
Hmm.
Well. I know when I smoke the filters or blocks that are normally up come down and I experience things in a different mind state, especially at night when I am alone and there are no distractions to my thoughts.
Its not that the mj creates an illusion or a lie, because when I am not high the things I noticed when I am high are still true, and I ask myself why didnt I notice these things when not high? Mostly things of a spiritual nature.
So in a way I see it as a way to connect to the non-physical reality of this world that is often clouded, fogged or conditioned into us by our single dimensional way of experiencing things.
Consciousness exists on many levels within the universe.
I think it unlocks those intuitutive abilitites to connect with non-physical reality. It is reality on another dimension that we are conditioned to ignore.
I smoke for other reasons as well.
it feels good, i like the "emotional" effects of it
