How has cannabis changed you?

I started smoking weed consistently about two months ago when I decided to stop being a pussy and go buy my own weed. My tolerance was balls low because I had only smoked about a total of 5 times in 2014. These are the results:
-less paranoid to actually go buy weed. I admit that Ive always been a drug mooch, not because of money, but being caught. The thought of being caught by the police scares the shitt out of me. But I learned driving with weed is easy.
- Time is slowing down. Earlier this year I was scared of the idea that my family members dying was something inevitable that I would have to deal with one day, and that Ive been wasting my life for the passed three years. So I felt that time was just too fast. After smoking for a bit, time feel at a better pace now, and those thoughts no longer reocurring.
-easier sleeping = lesser mood swings. Nights used to suck. I had much trouble falling asleep, but now I just smoke and it comes naturally. Also, my dreams have become less vivid, or just nonexistent at times, which I love! Good dream suppressant, which positive for me because fuck my dreams and nighttime oddities.
-Im a bit more paranoid, or suspicious. I see things sometimes, like bugs, from the corner of eye. Also Im much more likely now to look out the window , or look at my back seat first before getting in car. But its not all that often because I feel mostly good or neutral the rest of the time. So I think the positives have been medicinal for me.

Smoking weed has cost me tens of thousands of bucks, gave me numerous angina pectoris attacks, several close calls and had a part in my actual heart attack. It has had a part in me gaining several score pounds thanks to the munchies and made me feel miserable and addicted for quite a while. While it stimulated my imagination during use, I find my imagination since quitting to be empoverished. It turned me quite passive during use and gave me mad social anxiety after the first joint of the day. When blazed it took me an hour to orgasm and two hours to get to sleep.
This is what comes to mind first.

Smoking is always a hit or miss for me. I feel nice and relaxed or I feel mad anxiety / paranoid / very negative self reflection. And this doesn't have to do with any underlying feeling.
I used to smoke a lot but now I only smoke very rarely. My friends smoke everyday and I can definitely see a change in some of them. Their personality seems to be flatter and they don't have motivation anymore to take care of stuff. It's also costing them tons of $.

My weed cost me a couple hundred startup (lights, pots, soil, nutes, timers etc.), and about $50/ month for electricity. I can live with that 
And I don't know if cannabis has changed me. I've only been smoking for 45 years.

I've gone from confident and outspoken, to insecure and timid. I feel like it's turned me into a boring, annoyingly passive aggressive hermit. It's wrecked havoc on my self esteem and given rise to my already existing anxiety issues, border lining agoraphobia as well. Making decisions seems to be a lot harder too, like REALLY simple decisions.
I fluctuate between 165 and 185 lbs constantly. I can't get a grip on the munch factor.
I never have much spending money, needless to say why.
Chest pains as Asante mentioned, my throat always feels scabbed over.
As with anything. I believe current mood/mindset has a lot to do with the way marijuana affects different people. And the amount the person smokes as well...I've never been able to do it once in a while. It's everyday, and nearly all day. Which is the wrong way to use it in the first place.
I'm sure if someone's got a handle on their shit, smoking a little weed won't have too much effect on them whatsoever.
But heavy long term use, with no hiatus in between is the wrong way to be smoking. Straight up unhealthy. Physically and mentally.

Someone is gonna take this the wrong way
But I think a lot of people like to pin their personal problems on their weed habit when the blame actually lies elsewhere
Like yeah weed gives you the munchies yes it can make you anxious and it's definitely an expensive habit if you don't grow it
But I don't believe weed itself is causing these problems so much as the way the person is using it
I'm quitting soon myself so I can get a better job and focus on writing music
But I will always enjoy a nice toke to relax and unwind

Nah I agree with you, I addressed all of that in my post.
I'm currently in the process of trying to break my all day everyday habit too. But I never have real plans to quit all together. Just to get a grip on my self control..

Oh my post wasn't really directed at you it was meant to be more of a general observation
I love weed and all things weed I don't see that ever changing
But in my current state of affairs it's just holding me back from doing the things I really want to do
I figure once I get myself situated to where I can grow my own it will be a much more fun and worthwhile habit

Don't like weed? Don't smoke it. I quit recently for 45 days because I entered a no weed 90 day challenge. I didn't start smoking again because I felt like I "needed" the high or anything like that. After around day 25 I started getting death anxiety. I'm in my early twenties so my fear of death is extremely preemptive to say the least. I would, just before bed, think "I'm going to die one day and permanently lose consciousness." It kept me up a few nights and I honestly couldn't tell why it was happening. I would be so anxious my chest would get tight, my breathing would quicken and sometimes I even broke out into a sweat.
Ever since weed has been brought back into the equation, I get death anxiety much less often, and when I do, the physical symptoms are minimized. I also have finally gotten my enormous appetite back which is awesome because I'm trying to gain weight. I am less stressed about my job and schoolwork and I sleep better. Also my bowel movements have been more on point recently, so that's a plus. And now that I'm vaping again, my risks of getting cancer are decreased.

I can actually eat just as much sober as I can stoned as long as I work out hard
It's the same way with going to sleep a good hard cardio session during the day makes sleeping so much easier

Weed has made me realize how absolutely socially awkward and half retarded I am when high. Soo I changed my smoking habit.
