How has Marijuana Changed You

[jakez]

And it has lowered my lung capacity, but it certainly has given me some unforgettable times.

A very good point. Now that I think about it I don't think I would mind trading a few months or years of life for some unforgettable times. I mean, it's not like you know when you're dying.

WARNING: thinking about how you're going to die while you're high is a very bad idea.

You know, I couldn't quite tell you. The changes I've had, I have a number of things I could think to attribute them to.

I can say, it's put some space between me and some of my no-drugs/alcohol type friends who don't know I do it, as we quit relating as much. If anything it actually makes me work harder, as I quit stressing so much when I'm high. However, if I begin to do it too much it does lead to me not caring as much, hence doing less.

It's all about balance.

I became more excepting about different people and places. Things I thought were bad because they were different, now Im just chill and open with everything.

[YahtzeeG]

shouldn't this be in the experiences section! good question though...

I feel that it made me more chill and it has helped me reflect on life.

Enhanced my social life & made me more of a relaxed person.

Honstley smokin bud completely changed my life. But for the better. I also started listening to more types of music. It helped me think clearer and decide what i wanted to do with my life. It has really helped me alot with my ADD. It sorta levels out my brain and slows it down a bit so that i can really concentrate. Before i smoked ganja i was always hatin on potheads. But now i realize that it doesnt matter what someone does with their personal life. It doesnt change who they are. Its also made me accept things for what they are. I dont worry about shit to much anymore. It made me realize that shit happens and you just have to deal with it. Worrying about shit just makes you think its worse thain it is.

This is an awesome thread.
Ive had two different periods of pot smoking in my life... the first was when i was 14, i started smoking with a friend and it became almost a daily thing...i became the typical pothead that these anti-drug organizations show, stopped doing school work and shit, when i was 15 i quit

i didnt start smoking again until i was 21, this time around weed has changed me for the better. Im now in college earning a masters degree in acupuncture and herbal medicine, i would have never choosen this career if i hadnt re-developed my interest in weed, Im 22 now and on my way to earning a 4.0 which im striving to get just so i can say "hey i smoke weed and look how i did in school" aside from that i want to someday be known as one of the best american acupunturists out there and i cant do that with bad grades. Weed has changed my girfriend a lot too...shes going into the same career as i am and it has helped her exponetially with depression, insomnia and back pains from being hit by a drunk driver.... aside from all that it of course gives us killer highs and fun times on the weekend

I'm more relaxed. I meet wayyyyyyy cooler people <- thats a big one (like ya'll here)
And last but not least I LOVE MARIJUANA i just love smoking it, looking at it, feeling it, tasting it (occasionally)...

I absolutely can't WAIT till i can grow it... I'm going to be a very loving daddy :jointsmile:

[CheebaMan]

it has made me lazy and have interest in Satan

it has made me see life as it is..shitty

[Kid Dynamite]

its broadened my music tastes...i'm now ready to listen to practically anything at least once. I also feel that although it hasn't dulled my intelligence it probably has worsened my performance academically because its made me more apathetic towards the schooling system.
