negative effects of weed

So I've been noticing a problem I have when it comes to weed. I do smoke every day, maybe like a gram or two a day on average. I don't have a problem stopping. I don't gain enormous amounts of energy when I take a week long break or anything. I'm not a dick when I stop. I don't chain smoke weed cause it doesn't get me that high any more. I have tons of drive to get my school work done, etc. Basically all the normal problems people say they have I'm not getting.
But for crying out loud I can barely eat more than a few bites if I don't get stoned before I eat. I just keep loosing weight and its pissing me off cause i used to love eating. But now I can't and its a vicious cycle cause the less I eat, the smaller my stomach gets. what the fuck...

Your stomach adjusts to the amount of food you have been eating pretty rapidly. If it isn't used to having a lot of food, it gets smaller to compensate.
You should be looking at the bigger picture. If you aren't getting high anymore and withdrawal doesn't effect you then you should stop in my opinion. Watch out for that tummy and start treating it well!

Quit for a while and learn how to enjoy food again while sober. Then when you eventualy start smoking again the food you eat will taste like an explosion of deleciousness.

In my experience, weed takes a long detox (3-6 months) before I feel better sober than I do stoned and my appetite, sex-drive and all that jazz returns. Also, it takes a while for the racing thoughts, sleeplessness etc. of the detox period to go away as well. It took me several tries to get out of the smoke all day wake-and-bake can't enjoy anything not stoned rut but then I quit completely for three years solid. I missed weed and started smoking now and then, now I smoke once a week or less and I actually have less of an appetite for real food stoned than I do sober (though I do get the munchies for sweets). Sounds like you need a good long sobriety vacation. You will enjoy smoking a hell of a lot more once you come back and it isn't dominating your life, I know I certainly do. Weed is great every once in a while but any drug you use daily becomes a problem.

Eating all the food that you just bought at the store in one night.

Consider yourself lucky if ur still fully motivated. You should make sure to eat more at one point in the day. Ie, i get the most stoned first time in the morning. I wud say eat a huge breakfast or something. I used t have the same problem

I've smoked pot daily for about 5 year and I think it's about time for me to hang it up.The social anxiety i've been experiencing far outweighs the positives I used to gain from marijuana. Even though the SA has just become a recent development I only see it getting worse in the future.
I've had a great time with MJ and made some great friends and memories but at this time in my life I need drive and motivation to accomplish my goals and weed is just holding my back.

Good for you for realizing that! I quit bud when I quit opiates over a year ago. Feel so much better now! My GF still smokes everyday though and so does her brother and everyone we hang out with. I need to get my ole lady to quit. She is so unmotivated. Sucks because I love her so much and I can see that she is just a zombie, but it's hard to quit when everyone around you is doing it. Hell, the first couple months sucked having to adjust to not smoking with my friends. She's still young though, (19, I'm 23) and maybe she will realize it herself in a couple years. I can't force her to do anything.
But I digress.
Anyways, OP you should stop for a while. After a break ask yourself if you want to start smoking again. You might be surprised at the answer!

In short, -Gradual chronic anxiety unless you figure out how to get through it; the anxiety is usually dwelling on something that I need to do or fix. Be it being the guy stoned out of his mind not saying anything, or something work-related I need to get done.
-Eating issues, becomes much more severe when dabbing a lot or smoking a lot of "spice" (synthetic cannabinoids, many more potent than pure THC). Cannabinoids are naturally released when you start to get hungry, but when your body mostly stops producing them when you are heavily supplementing with weed.. You get the idea.
-The psychological addiction of not being able to pipe down. This is the biggest issue for many chronic smokers. My theory is that t since the first hour or so is racy, anxiety, but the relaxation of the next hour or to makes it seem worth it. I believe this could be very useful, helping the user frequently analyze his (grammatically correct) actions.
Just the things I've noticed and noted in my decade+ of mostly daily dank buds, having prior and anxiety issues I only recently feel like I've gotten ahold of.
Cannabinoids are powerful stuff IMO. It has potential to being very detrimental if not used appropriately. And what is appropriately depends on the person.

I don't know if you've ever noticed but chronic smokers are also generally very skinny. One example of a dude that is "running" orange county
I'm very skinny and I smoke and eat a shitload. However, some days I eat enough to where the next day I don't need to eat much

I guess my weight is a little low for my height. I'm like 6"2 isn and weigh about 175 pounds. I work out a good bit so I wouldn't call my self "skinny" but i wouldn't mind bulking up to like 185-190

I just need to exercise more self control when it comes to drugs. If i buy an eight.. its gone in a week. I think I need to start buying smaller amounts and try to make them stretch for as long as possible. It'll save me some money and hopefully I can get some drive and motivation back from smoking less often

I was an all day every day smoker. Then I switched to only at night. If your roasting a bowl first thing in the morning of course your going to be unmotivated. Now I smoke pretty sporadically generally just when offered. if I buy an 1/8 it will easy last me a month. Kind of just grew out of it

If you're just smoking weed it won't.
I smoke way more than any of you claim to, and I can stop no problem. I get none of the negative effects you guys are talking about. I know that they happen, I just find it surprising you guys are having issues with as little as you smoke in comparison with myself and most of my friends.
It's easy to quit though. I'd be in a little more pain, and sleep less if I quit, that's all though. And the only thing that fucks with my sleep without weed is dreams. Dreaming sucks.

I did the smoke erry day shit for the first two years I had a medical card. Life seemed to come to a stand still because I didn't want to do anything that required effort or a great deal of attention. Also, when you're perpetually stoned, the magic of it fades pretty quick.
I've brought my consumption down to about 2-3 times a week and mostly nights only. A gram lasts me about a week now that my tolerance has been brought to pretty much ground level. And it's so much easier on the pocket than when I would be smoking an 1/8 every 2-4 days.

That's how I am if I don't have anything to do. But, if I need to get something done, or I have the opportunity to do something I like to do, being stoned doesn't stop me.

I tend to use it more like a stress reduction medication. i always smoke before work. as someone in the restaurant industry, its not the patrons that stress me the fuck out. its usually my boss or coworkers!!!
anyways that's a reallllllllly general description of my life, so take that with a grain of salt.

Chronic weed smoking def does something for your digestion/metabolism/appetite
At all the other posters: Its the new year. Happy new year ya'll! Now use that as an excuse to begin new habits
My new year's resolution was 3-4 times a week. Only through the vaporizer. No more, no less. I think I can stick to that. I think it will allow me to relax on weeknights and also not b just a weekend toker. Also, it will prevent me from being a daily smoker. LOL i put a lot of thought into the number of 3-4 times a week

Try quitting for a little while and see how you feel. I quit like a month ago and am loving it. It's not a big deal.

piece of advice; get a vape
It wont fix your sex drive but it will help your lungs and money. It did for me. but i am still quitting for the motivation and sex drive reasons

My main issue with habitually smoking cannabis is the lack of motivation and the general haze that is overlaid on one's perception. If you exist in that haze for long enough, you forget it's there. But once you give yourself a chance to get sober you notice how much more clear and lucid your perception is, and your awareness is able to penetrate deeper into your consciousness as a result.
Quitting cannabis mostly helps my meditation, my sociability, and my overall drive towards leading a productive life.
I smoked habitually (at least three times a day) for close to ten years; with only about 3 instances where I gave myself longer than a month to sober up.
More recently I put down the pipe and picked up the opiates. Transferred addictions (mental, though the opiates quickly became physical), and then got clean from opiates.
Opiates are harder to quit but the consequences are more prevalent so you have a much greater driving factor to quit.
I wouldn't recommend what I did to anyone; and it wasn't even initially planned, but it's worked well enough for me.

Well it affects everyone differently. For me it certainly effects my productivity no matter how much I smoke.
I think heavy use of psychedelics consistently in combination with cannabis has created a relative neuropathway by neuroplasticity. Now the psychedelic nature of cannabis is prevalent no matter the state of my tolerance.

You aren't going to listen to me. Don't drive with paraphernalia in your car. It's inconvenient I know, but it's just not a smart thing to do.
If you insist, make sure everything you have is disposable. Once again, you probably won't listen, but everyone has they day where they think to themselves "Why didn't I just leave my shit at home today?"

Seriously. And wiz khalifa. And that fat kid in my school who started smoking 3 times a day and shed POUNDS
Chronic weed smoking def does something for your digestion/metabolism/appetite
Snoops another prime example. Hard to tell because his clothes are baggy, but if you ever see his arms or anything he's extremely skinny.

Snoop is naturally skinny, like the God of ectomorphs, has nothing to do with weed..

I've also noticed that chronic smokers seem to be skinny, i wonder if it actually has anything to do with the bud though.

Nothing is better than bumping some music and hitting that bowl driving down the steet. Or joints. (Fuck blunts) it's only worth it if it's a fat n tight blunt n not a game

Maybe it is something to do with thin people being more attracted to bud? I shed weight and smoked bud ehavily at the same time. But it was a very concious thing. Ie, i began working out a lot. But i definately feel that part of it was smoking made me less hungry

No, cannabis has a direct effect on our hypothalamus (and in turn, thyroid/metabolism). It is definitely not a "get skinny quick" trick, but for an unknown (at this point) reason, chronic cannabis use generally leads to being skinny and high levels of brown fat ("good fat"). We don't yet know how/why it affects the way our body metabolizes fat, but we know it does.

wow. Little did I know. Maybe it could even make people healthier lol. That would be ironic. Makes people healthier physically, but less strong psychologically (kills motivation)
Interesting...

im from boston dude. weed is basically legal. we have decriminalization and u dont have to pay the fine, we have MMJ. smelling weed is NOT considered probable cause to search a car
weed is pretty much legal here. i actually have a bowl that i keep in my car at all times. i call it my "car bowl". i also have a bowl for my room and a small bowl for when im outside of my car or room lol
having a bowl in my car is not a big deal at all

Btw, i just thought that I would add that a compound called "CBD" is missing in our mary jane. Modern mary jane is lacking in CBD as THC is the only valued product in the plant. So the plant naturally has about a 1:1 ratio in THC and CBD. This causes a balanced high. And without CBD, a more pyschotic, less sociable, paranoid high
I have access to CBD mariajuana as in cali, it is sold medically
Just thought I would say that. Between the vaporizer, and the CBD heavy mary jane, I have been enjoying bud a lot more

It's not missing entirely, and there are widely distributed strains that have a high amount of CBD. Just have to look for indica heavy strains.

I believed the same too. But in cali, you look at some of the indica strains and some of the sativa strains. The CBD levels are same across the board. They have CBD, THC, CBN across the board for the most part in terms of ratios. The bud that doesn't look as good is a little higher in CBN. But CBD rarely pushes past 1%
I got a strain that was 15% CBD and approx 3% thc and another strain that was 15% THC. Effectively about 50/50 ratio and the high nothing like a heavy indica
I hate to be a pointdexter but the myth needs debunking

Yeah I haven't had a strain like that since about 2010 or so, but I remember it had me feeling great. Not really blazed out of my mind but my sense of well being was awesome. I might try to mix that kinda bud in my bowls to keep things balanced sometime.

yeah it gets rid of the paranoia and social anxiety that straight THC would give
