negative effects of weed
    #19356316 - 01/01/14 09:32 PM (10 years, 1 month ago)

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.  :shrug:

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.

:cheers:

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 :shrug:

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
