getting stoned isn't as fun anymore
    #21752875 - 06/02/15 01:43 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

what happened?

when i was a teenager weed was responsible for so many fun times and great memories. laughing, running around or going to the movies.

it was always a fun, eye opening experience.

now whenever i smoke weed its boring and depressing. and i get paranoid.

is anyone else like this now that they're older?

When you are young you are carefree and ignorant to such things in the world. You can get high and do nothing, and not worry about a thing.  As an adult you get high and you think, damn I have to pay bills and go to work and I have to do this and that and it sort of takes away from the high. It's not like that for everyone, but I think a level of maturity and responsibility has something to do with it.

That would certainly make me paranoid. I used to get like that after a few years of smoking. Its just a habit now I guess.

In my experience, those feelings corresponded with problematic issues in other aspects of my lifestyle. My use started out (and many can nostalgically relate) smoking occasionally in high school. Giggles, laughs, no serious consequences, you know the deal.

For the next 3-4 years, smoking pot was something with which I personally identified. Daily user, always looked forward to using, sometimes 2-3 times a day. However, there was a definite shift from fun loving, spiritual, or opening to paranoid, anxious, and general negative experiences. I would use, immediately regret doing so, and then spend the rest of the high thinking about the responsibilities I was not attending to because I was baked (at the time it was a lot of homework, social obligations/events). Spent most of my time indoors generally not interacting with people.

At a certain point, these negative experiences beg the question: why do you continue to do something which is wholly aversive? Why continue to beat a dead horse? I took a long break to gain some perspective. I could see I used it as an escape device, ironically, to escape the very activities I now find so stimulating (emphasis because I believe the very things which cause us anxiety are almost begging us to figure them out!).

Now (10 months post daily user), I usually smoke between 0-2 times a week, usually when exercising outdoors (yoga is FANTASTIC while high) or before sex. I'm motivated and reinforced more by my holistic health than an escapist desire to be intoxicated.

As Im getting older I find myself losing interest in drugs more and more. I stopped smoking weed years ago, I dont even find psychedelics to be that appealing anymore. They've taken to kicking my ass with bodyloads for most of the trip. Coke, MDMA, all of that. Im slowly drifting to being straight edge and just being comfortable with my day to day headspace. Which is kind of crazy since I used to blow hundreds of dollars on them every week when I was younger.

I almost hate smoking weed now, I tried giving it up and somewhat succeeded for a couple months just recently....I only realized I truly can't be sober, its like i have two different personalities with and without drugs in my life (not hard drugs) and even if it's not great, with drugs it's better, might be pathetic, but I'd probably kill myself from hatred of everything if it wasn't for them, so I'd rather dislike it a little instead of hating everything a lot, do get more anxiety then I used to though, by a large margin

Weed keeps me passive, which does a great deal for me, even with me not liking it, I don't like myself more without it.

I actively avoid and fear the marijuana high. Even smelling a nug gives me insane anxiety.

No other drug makes me feel so paranoid, socially awkward and panicked. From the first toke it feels like I am about to jump off a cliff and I just want the high to end and even if someone payed me a hundred dollars right now to smoke I would turn it down. This is coming from an ex meth user that gets anxiety relief when he uses stimulants.


Kratom is the ex stoner drug. It is for those that are looking for something better that you can use every day and feel good, happy, social and energized. Kratom has way more medicinal benefit IMO. The only difference is that a weed high is multiple times stronger then a kratom high.

I'm the total opposite, I need at least a few hits of good weed just so I can leave my house and tolerate people all the while listening to their stupid ass stories and pretending like any of it is important.

I'm almost never in public sober, for good reason lol. It gives me anxiety, just not social anxiety, unless I'm so high I can't even communicate properly, in which case I get a little anxiety.

I personally think weed is the cause of many people's social anxiety. It is the antisocial drug.

I agree 99% of the time that's the case, it like bugs one of my closest friends how I need to smoke before we go out, he has no idea how I do it because he would just seclude himself immediately after if he were to try the same.

I can hardly believe I'm reading some of these posts.

Yeah, meth calms me down but weed makes me anxious.

Makes zero sense.

And to NOT get stoned before going out, what fun is that?

Kooks.

There is no fun without it, it's the only thing that makes people seem slightly interesting.

When you smoke meth your mind feels relaxed and you lay back in euphoria and sink into the couch, the same way you would on MDMA. Your body is moving fast but in your mind you feel an inner peace. The only way I could describe it to someone who has never used it is that it feels like molly in a way.

Weed just gives me negative though spirals, self doubt, anxiety. No other drug can compare to weed's ability to strip away all the good aspects of my personality and replace me with an anxious, awkward quiet person. It is sad.

I stopped smoking regularly over 2 years ago, life has been awesome since.

Weed sucks, it's extremely over-priced and makes me awkward as fuck.
