Your not a strong person, like you said. So the weed isnt fucking up your motivation, you have low motivation and are claiming weed is the reason why.

I work up to 60 hours a week and go to the gym 4-6 days of said week depending on the split im cycling. Poor excuse.

Weed doesn't make people lazy, people are lazy and just happen to smoke weed.
good for you guy, but I disagree. weed makes being lazy a much more appealing option than it is sober. I would wrap up homework, smoke at night, and sleep too deep to wake up for my alarm. It had a marked effect on my grades and you telling me you didn't have an issue with it doesn't change that.

Cannabis gave me a permanent stoner laugh.
It also made me memorize the dollar menu for taco bell, mcdonalds, wendys, and burger king.

Hard to say. I smoke relatively rarely--like once a month max. The circumstances really have to be perfect--by myself with nothing to do and zone out to some sweet jams, camping trip in the middle of no where. It makes me socially reclusive and introspective.

Exactly what I did as well with the same results. And folks tend to smoke way too much. Moderation in all things, kids.

It saved my life, period. I was on 5 different meds all treatable by cannabis and from age 12 on they gave me, opiates,anti anxiety,psychotic,depression,anger,spasms and bipolar meds. Plus I was on copious amounts of amphetamines and other very obscure drugs. I had a mental breakdown in 10th grade and I was going to ER every 3 days from throwing up all the water I tried drinking. It quite literally saved both my life and preserved the chance for quality life. Now I'm a very chill,knowledgeable person and pretty happy with life.
However I and my family has spent around 40-50k in 7 years on it. Fucking staggering. Life wouldn't have been as hard for us all but it's the only medicine that can keep me alive with quality of life.

I have been smoking marijuana for 5, almost 6 years. It's brought me a lot of good times, the high changed once i got older and had smoked through like a hundred bowls. What was once a giggly laughing fit, munchie inducing, out of my mind blazed and ridiculous became a more mature, quieter, still munchie inducing, still somewhat laugh inducing, more reserved high.
As a person i don't think i am that different to be honest. I think weed is a good thing for me now because it keeps me out of trouble and from using other drugs too much when really all i could use is a bong rip. So thats nice.
I think it brought out some anxiety and paranoia in me, which is only while i am stoned. Before smoking weed i think i was more generally anxious or easily embarrassed/uncomfortable. But now its all kind of concentrated into when i am stoned. Like i heightened my threshold for being anxious.
Through the social act of smoking with people i have made a lot of friends, and it opened my mind to trying psychedelics, which led me to here. I think i have become more sociable and better at interacting with people through smoking weed because it makes me more self aware of things i say and do.
I do feel like weed has maybe descreased my motivation a bit, because i'll get stoned and nervous about transitioning places, especially public places. Like if i get stoned, i wanna get stoned and chill where im at for a while until im less baked. Seems to me the point of smoking weed is to chill and talk and let your mind wander anyways. So i am going to blame myself for the lack of motivation i have sometimes.
Also i think my imagination is a little hindered, like i can't be as creative with my thoughts as i used to. but who knows, i've taken all kinds of drugs.

I'm not sure, as I've been smoking as long as I can really remember (13 years old)
If anything it made me break out of my shy self and nerdy persona I had as a young'n.
Also the people I met who smoked pot, were a lot more social than I was, and it got me involved in all the crap I'm surrounded by today I suppose.
Just going with the flow!

No, but I never really changed from what I was, so as far as I know, nothing has really changed, except for what I mentioned.
my actual childhood was weird, like any other kids, no one STAYS just like that.
So you can not blame pot for making you grow up.

It has improved grades in school, and made me take better care of my apt, made me more relaxed. The legal alternative alcohol will make you get fired from work or kicked outta school, trash your apt, and make you angry & violent.

It made me see a lot of things differently. I kinda wish I'd started sooner, but I also wish I'd been more moderate about it.

This bullshit is just as bad as the cannabis propaganda that you'll go insane and rape women.
