Marijuana and Codependancy

[Inferius]

I don't know if this is the right forum for this,
but I'd like to see as many perspectives as possible.

For those of you who know what codendancy and self-esteem really mean,
and have overcome it in some way,
How do the pros and cons of marijuana usage measure up?

I know that for a lot of people, marijauana's hallucinogenic effect can be particularly helpful in attaining insight and honing therapeutic mindstates,
but how much is someone giving up in their chemical/subconscious/pleasure
perspectives and reactions toward codependancy for this?

Anything else you'd like to add?

Do you mean relying too much on weed for their problems?

Is it much different than someone who takes antidepressants?

Well, people who take anti-depressants can be taking them for a number of reasons, some of which are not under their control.
But, self-esteem and unconditional love and value for the self are literally the core of almost all unhappyness in this world. Relationship with the self dictates relationship with the external world.
With psychoactive drugs, you're giving something outside of yourself power over you, trading some of your own personal power to acheive an artificial self-esteem.
I guess once one has the mental capacity to overcome low-self esteem, then there wouldn't really be any problem with cannabis, there wouldn't be any grip for the addiction to take hold.
So, my question is revised to: While one is learning and healing and building ones sense of self and mental health, how much can cannabis use interfere?

Anything else to add?
?

You know... I think I just answered my own question.
As long as one is self-aware of their reactions and dictations of cannabis use,
they can be wary of codependancy and maintain that wall.

Thanks billionfold and cannabis.com!

Inferius, you're okay in my book. :thumbsup:

Smoke a big one for me, and the next chance I get I'll do the same for you.

Thanks billion

You've made me laugh at least 50 times in the last year,
You've been the inspiration for at least 5 bowls so far. :jointsmile:

And shpongle is absolutely incredible, but it's really simon posford who matters.

He is a god among electronic musicians.

Peace and love.

I don't know if it's intentional, but in your signature it says "beleive" whereas the correct spelling is "believe."

Anyway, rock on if you figured your situation out. :jointsmile:

Normal breath is restriced, short, and noisy. We tend to subconciously restrict our breath in our daily lives, to avoid any problems that are being held down by our subconcious. Life has its' natural tendencies, nothing is perfect. Cannabis works like a dialator expanding your aveoli sacks, forcing a full breath. The cannabis breath is full, and quiet. Not being able to restrict your breath as before, and having to deal with problems you tried to burry from your concious, are now free, and you are forced to deal with them. Nobodys problems dissapear when they're are stoned, they simply turn your stone into a buzzkill. STONERS know what I'm talking about, we like to do what we can to enjoy our high. Being forced to deal with our problems is safe, and healthy.:rasta:
