Does anyone not like or disagree with weed, and why?

Last summer I went to turkey, because me mam is Turkish, so you see, I have lots of Turkish friends and they are all telling apart from a few, that we stay away from weed.
Anybody else who shares these views, and why?
No disrespect please.

Weed interferes with my job and my ability to be a contributing member to society. If you ask me America should have the death penalty for using it.

Psalm 12:6 The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Hebrews 11:3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. Revelation 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

There are illusions being absent from spirit and plants seem to have questions. A plants spirit is much like a humans spirit. There is a gap it SEEMS between the physical trappings of mortality and the grace observed in creation.
To confuse a plant or purified drugs spirit with your own creates a lot of physical traps and illusions. Mistaken understandings. It's powerful to have so many complicated methods to make life essier and graceful.
The whole idea of medicine is to rehabilitate you to were you can be on your own. Sadly with old age people hold onto illusions. Age has it's issues and usually gets very complicated. Perhaps plants know more about giving up.
Plants are a different spirit than purified pure compounds. Plants intent is not so easily understood and managed by rigid laws. Purified drugs were made that way to be a bit more direct, potent. Sadly weed is getting more potent in unsatisfying ways.
Just selling mind fuck shouldn't be a great method.

I smoke weed everyday and have noticed super strong weed isn't all that great... I like to still be able to function on regular weed but strong stuff makes me not want to get up or do anything lol.
Like any substance it won't agree with everyone, you don't have to smoke it just like I don't take smack or heroin.
There's a million things out there I'd tell you to stay far away from, but weed just isn't on that list... Alcohol is far worse we've all seen what that does to people.
Everything in moderation, one line of coke won't send you mad, one joint won't destroy your brain, and a glass of wine won't make you beat the wife.

I'm not sure what exactly you mean with agree or disagree.... But I'm going to assume what you mean is whether I agree or disagree with personal consumption of weed. To which I would say of course!
That being said, I think its treated as benign as caffeine but for my whole life weed has gotten me retarded high. I've never been a regular consumer, but I can handle a moderate to high dose of mushrooms or acid better than I can handle getting really high. I've always chalked it up to tolerance and genetics.

I'm a believer is methods to lower manifestations of existing. I knew smoking weed created a logistical nightmare. I didn't realize that by not exploring it.
If it keeps people from decending into a lower life that is good. America has complicated culture and it's not good to rely on any single one. We all got something to contribute and I was terrible at the cannabis game.
I really did best alone with cannabis. But I found much stronger feelings sober. Perhaps cannabis secured me at times, but it was a lot like neglect and disfunction. Such a stronger experience getting off drugs, that is why people cave and come back. I've not had any easy choice to come back and cannabis varieties are very hyped, deceptive and full of trademark.
I guess if I want to be naughty or find solace in subatance I have some beer. Which is no less deceptive yet a lot logistically simpler. Drug use is drug use, one shouldn't self medicate yet coffee or whatever is part of life.
I really got confused thinking religiously about cannabis. Shrooms were too religious in effect. Not in thinking like weed was but these powerful things do get complicated.

Cannabis is a strange drug because it interacts with the brain having downer effects but upper effects at the same time. This dual effect makes cannabis the most unpredictable drug. It's pretty harmless for the most part, but that unpredictability might turn some people off. I know it deters me sometimes because i fucking hate getting high and having one of those highs that put me in my mind where i can't stop thinking.
For me personally i'm a total weakling and like metalfaith weed fucks me up. If i take any more than two drags of a thin joint i'm couch locked. Sucks a little sometimes. I want to smoke bud with friends instead of drink. It's much kinder on my body and it has the potential to be as enjoyable but if i take two tokes, i tend to stop socialising.

Good God I'm glad I decided against debating with you last night.
OP - A really great friend of mine back in England is a Cypriot. He's real 'old school' in the way he thinks about such things. Very black and white. And whilst I love him dearly, I do not live in the same world he does. My world is one of shades of grey.
Tl;dr - I think there's absolutely NO reason to not smoke a little weed every now and then. It's pretty damn benign, as these things go.

I find that it really does have an effect on my motivation long term.
I can smoke and feel a real motivation to write music or whatever but it usually fades and I can't keep focus for more than a half HR.
I do still enjoy it though and I find that found a couple days not smoking in between really helps with lingering probablems.

I think I've become allergic to weed recently. I binge smoked so much weed this past year and over the summer after smoking some sensi I realized I couldn't sleep at all for weeks on end and had terribly itchy skin all night long.
I have yet to confirm if this is allergy to weed or if it something else but I'm staying away from weed for the forceable future because I'm just so badly addicted to it and now I have this potential allergy. Its not doing anything good for me right now so I'm staying away.
BTW I'm going to Turkey this summer and checking out the Anatolian Black Sea coast

I have smoked on and off since I was 12yo. I do see that weed has been hybridized so much that it's more potent than the weed I grew up with. I have never been a heavy smoker, and will turn down a hit when asked if I'm where I want to be when high. I have seen people smoke whole 1/4's in one day! I do think weed can be abused just like any other med/drug/plant. I don't agree with abuse. I also think that cannabis should be completely removed from any/every list of legality and just let people grow it in their yards worldwide. This would immediately dissolve MANY problems and legal matters with millions of people.
I'll also add that I was a 10th grade HS dropout with a GED and went back to school at age 42 and got an RN degree. So, if cannabis is that damaging to a person, it didn't hurt me too badly. I do smoke in moderation. I'd say a "light smoker". 1/4 can last me 1-3 months. I've also gone weeks/months/years without smoking sporadically.

I know that Joe Biden does not like Marijuana and it really makes me angry. After hearing Joe Bidens views on Marijuana it makes me not like him and makes me realize that he is actually too old to be the President of the United States of America and even tho I am a democrat I actually can not Vote for Joe Biden and will either be voting for Donald Trump or not Voting.

I don't like weed, it makes me feel uncomfortable. Haven't smoked for a long time now.
Doesn't bother me in the slightest if other people partake though. Could not care less.

I smoked for ten years everyday pretty much. Age 14-26. Ill be 28 in a month so its almost 2 years without weed now. Ive tried it here and there in those two years and i just cant enjoy it. I get trapped in my head thinking too much, i remember why i quit it. It allows a person to stop thinking about what they have to do to become who they want to be. Its like taking a break on your path in life and building a house and staying where you were supposed to only rest for few minutes.
Its not this way for everybody but thats how i see it now. Partly because im terrified of becoming a lazy drug addict like i used to be. At the same time i often reminisce about the good old days and all the creative shit i used to do and be involved in primarily because i was high all the time with no real goals in life which allowed my mind to explore questions many people never ask themselves in life. So i guess this is where it becomes about balance also.
I decided after ten+ years of everyday use, sitting around philosophizing about life it was time to actually get up and live it. You can smoke weed and do mushrooms and everything else and read a ton of books and gain all this wisdom but if you dont get out and live and struggle and feel pain and joy like those who wrote the books and sold you the wisdom then your just a receptacle for information anyone can gain. At some point we have to die and i wanted to be able to look back on my life and say hey. I fuckin tried like hell. I gave it my all. Smoking weed everyday like i was, 1-2g of concentrate every 1-2 days, i was never gonna really test myself. I was never gonna really grow as a person.
After i quit i realized how many mind games weed allowed me to be comfortable playing with myself. I think avoiding emotions was the biggest thing. Some people eat to avoid feeling things. I smoked. I had to feel things i was avoiding my whole life and make actual changes in my life so i could live day to day and be happy, such as mending relationships with family. Things ishould have done long before this point. I also learned how powerful the dopamine system in our brain is in regard to how we think and percieve reality. If you have trained yourself to shut off and relax with a certain stimulus wether its food or weed, and your doing this constantly. Your attention span is shit. Your capacity to reason through emotions and tough situations is shit. Your ability to oversee problems and think within a bigger picture is shit as well.
If you have no attachments whatsoever and your dopamine response is associated with an ideological end goal, such as resolving a conflict in your life, instead of a chemical end goal, you are way more likely to have the ability to invision the solution and have the motivation and persistence to work through everything that may try to get in the way of you reaching that solution.
That brings me to my next thing which is people i run into and observe who smoke, they give up and sell themselves short way too easily and they dont even realize it. They dont see their potential. They just want to be comfortable constantly. Another thing is. Many of them have no regard for how they treat their bodies. They just put all this smoke and shit in their lungs constantly, eat shitty food, drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes. And if they only smoke weed they usually believe its not harmful at all to their brain or lungs when in reality we have no fuckin idea for sure. Like i get weed can be great but that doesnt mean we are built to inhale the shit 24/7. Everytime i inhale anything even when i smoke cigars and accidently inhale a tiny tiny breath of smoke i get a pain in my chest that used to be constant and im 99% sure its from smoking so much weed over the years.
Im so focused and determined to do something with my life and make the best of every day and my time here that the idea of sitting around getting high and not being productive just doesnt appeal to me at all. Some days where i just want to do nothing and relax i think about it but i think if i did it often it would soon become a habit again.
Idk man.

Call it whatever helps you like mate but I'm old enough and ugly enough to be able to spot someone who is genuinely interested in a POV different from their own and someone who just wants to have a barney. I've been the latter enough times myself, and it's clear as day that you just want to have it out. I know the feeling. Couple that with the fact that you'd suggest people smoking weed deserve the death penalty and you've one person I've no desire to spend any of my precious time on.
Kinda below the belt for you to lay it on like a guilt trip and to call my position into question when it's really nothing at all to do with the matter at hand too. Or to mention the potential for growth in this, when it is clear there is none. Cheap shots, those. But then, it seems profoundly obvious to me, from this interaction alone, that you're not the kindest or nor the most compassionate person out there. Probably more on the other end of the spectrum, if anything.

I've had a love/hate relationship with weed most of my life. I used to absolutely hate weed and smoked it everyday because all my friends in highschool did and I desperately wanted to fit in.
After I started dating my now fiance, I discovered she was a massive stoner who loves the dabs. So through her I was slowly introduced back to weed. Then after abusing all the stims caught up with me and getting slammed with psychosis I ended up cutting out hard drugs from my life, except for prescribed vyvanse ofc , I was getting a hankering for feeling intoxicated and started experimenting with weed again, and can say that I fucking love it.
I truly think smoking weed, a sort of "marijuana maintenance method" for abstaining from abusing hard drugs has been a life-saver.

I got nothing against weed tho i think a lot of people including me turn a bit lazy from it. Def better to smoke some weed from time to time than to regularly drink like most people do.

No disrespect please.
What do you even mean by "not agree with weed"?
Have you ever actually smoked the herb or are your Turkish friends just telling you not to smoke it?...Did they give any reasons why?
What are your reasons why?
Myself...I absolutely "agree" with cannabis .
I thoroughly enjoy and love cannabis...Everything about it...Its aesthetics, all the different structures/forms/colors it can have, the huge spectrum of divine aromas & flavors it has, the way it soothes my mind/body/soul, the medicinal potential it has, watching the plant grow....
...I sincerely love this plant. It is woven into the culture I'm part of/where I live and it has become a part of my life over the past 10+ years. So as long as I have the space to do so I plan on growing the herb every year for the rest of my life.

I smoked weed to not be paranoid but it is bad for the default mode network because it is a default mode. Weed just is standard operating, a truth drug of sorts. But a huge trip to detox from.
Medicine and intent are something to always be mindful of. Weed was meditation for me but needing a tool for transcending into abstract processes has fault. It also made me need sexual release or it wouldn't calm me down.
It's difficult to raise the proper mental energy with a herb as powerful as cannabis. The nightmares that follow and the paranoia just gets extreme not finding peace. I guess we have to ask what state do we want to die in, and is that good enough of us.
I''ve grown weak for intoxication.

I dunno that I'd say I disagree with it.
I'd say you either need to be a very responsible smoker or all in daily smoker though. That space in between, that's where the "mess" is.
Responsible smokers only smoke when they know they won't need to function, and because they smoke sporadically, they know smoking is going to make them not good for much. Daily smokers can smoke and for the most part function perfectly fine because they have a tolerance.
The in-between people are the ones that get stoned when they know they have little tolerance and adaptability to the effects of the drug, even though they have other responsibilities to be attending to.
I say all this with plenty of experience. I'm not going to condemn you for being an every day smoker, or someone who just takes a few hits occasionally. But if you know you have so little tolerance it leaves you useless, then you need to be able to use it responsibly. Otherwise, you make everyone look bad.
Other than that, no. Your body, your mind, your choice.

For me weed became a substitute for the feeling of deeper study or understanding, while it subtly impairs those things in reality. Doesn't make them impossible but I don't think it's a net advantage (if overdone anyway.) In a couple of different ways it does the opposite of what I use it for, another being anxiety relief.

The bigger the lie, the more unbelieveble the truth is.
Having your own reasons for not doing something is perfectly fine I hope your comment about death penalty is a joke lol.
Some of history's greatest artists, writers, scientists used weed... Some people abuse it and just like to get super stoned while some have actually contributed to our world greatly...
If its taxed fairly and money goes to schools, hospitals seems the only way because we can never get rid of it has been critical is too many peoples lives... We wouldn't just give up eating bread because the goverment says so.

I understand what you guys are saying, me mam always told me that you must stay away from weed you need to stay pure. And recently I have been starting to understand what she means.
I feel something, impure about it. Some people say that it is the perfectly balanced drug that god gave to us. But I am not sure about this, a lot people I know get very protective about weed, and this is what started to make me doubt it. There's a devil that resides inside.
Another thing I notice from weed, I stop dreaming for a few days after smoking and sometimes especially after smoking one of those ridiculous California strains, I can't even sleep. Probably not a good thing maybe.
Weed is too marketable, there so many ways you can get weed sold using all kinds of dirty, lies and questionable tactics. Its like the tobacco industries are expanding to weed, or maybe the weed industries are become more like the thriving corrupting tobacco companies of old. Many of these companies still have firm grips on many eastern governments like in Vietnam and Indonesia. And this is also a legacy of the war. US involvement in Vietnam made a logistical connection between the countries for military (capitalist) ventures. Imagine the power that america would have with weed being the new tobacco, or maybe I am being too skeptical.
Ever since they started putting crap into the cigarettes in the 30s and 40s, that's when the problem came. Who knows what they are doing with weed in their backroom labs. Something bad. And it all starts in america just like it did back in the day with the corruption of rollies. Weed companies in america are becoming bigger and bigger nowadays you have large chains and franchises of dispensaries.
Like in the UK, nowadays the trust is going down, especially where I live between old time dealers who are supplying the new time dealers. I've had heard of two local veteran dealers now, who laced there shit with spice. Now I am not saying spice is bad that's up for another thread to discuss, but still it is false advertising, and can get people fucked up when they decide to smoke a lot of it.
I hope that our generation of dealers will make things right. But it seems more and more likely that america is going to become more and more involved with the UK especially now that Brexxit is confirmed after Boris gets elected with his historic landslide victory. I am not sure about this whole Unified parliament thing in Britain, too much room for tyranny, I feel like we're reverting to old times. I feel like everyone is reverting to old times everywhere around the world and in turkey as well.

Plant drugs are not imperfect, we are. Trying to be analytical about paranormal or the super mundane is a good way to go insane.
I think during mediation we can stimulate the whole being. A drug touches one area of our being, which can imbalance. I had a lot of fun smoking cannabis, but also it wasn't easy to communicate those things I observed.

i get what you are saying,
do you think a plant gains its personality from the things that are made possible by that plant, or do you think a plants personality comes from ancient times.
Or with these new hybrid crazy Frankenstein strains, do they even have a personality? Or are they basically just retards.

Seems from what I hear, cannabis has lost some soul.
Plants like to reproduce a lot. Perhaps that spirit isn't good for us. It's difficult to get above that. We are raised with a default mode that implies reproduction and security in a partner.
There's a lot wrong with assumptions.
In religious assumption the idea is being transported at death, not actually decomposing on Earth. Who knows what all technology is possible. It's the problem with the wondering analytical mind. It can be beautiful in sorts as well, a comfort in fantasy.

yes i see, I now see what you mean by default mode and I can see why cannabis can make us easily forget it.
For humans it is so easy to forget these things because every human is different, there are no standards to follow by, you have to find out these things yourself. And regrettably we have become shit at that. So many of us just copy others. And in a modern/western society with little true knowledge and empathy for past generations, the most successful people in a society are the best at copying others, intuitively.

It depends, did we really transcend default methods of thinking and perceiving?
People come down from drugs usually, not always. Habitual usage of cannabis is going to make life more mundane in a lot of ways. Because it's difficult to shed habits. Habits are like a wall and it's secure for people to hold onto the wall.
At least in the western world, it's very deadly to not be in a basic mode of functioning. People have to have routine and changing how we feel doing better can be a lot of rebellion stress.
It's very easy to get afraid of smoke. Tobacco can be a huge huge huge fear. I rarely smoke tobacco. Fear is so dirty and it can smell odd when it's a certain sexual fear. I recall the first time I smelled that.
Cannabis is strange voodoo. It's a different fear or comfort than tobacco. If anyone remembers their early attachment to smoke, such as a cigarette it can be a fear.
Mixing psychedelics with a cigarette or cannabis can also be a huge fear. I think people forget sometimes just how to make sense of the normal verses paranormal.

I'm not very happy with my spiritual status to use cannabis. So cannabis can make me fear being aggressive, which leads to a later form of paranoid aggression. Having grown up around violence and being subjected to it.

For me being high 24/7 does not serve me anymore. And when I do smoke it goes easily to that. I´m not doing this too hard for myself anyway. If I want to smoke I smoke. Just that I get more out of life and myself when not under the influence whole time. 3 weeks from last time and feeling great. Smoked for 2 months in row before that. Actually I love my dreams more than being stoned every day all day.
And IMHO you dont get full effect of cannabis if used daily, completly different thing.
I miss the health benefits of it though, and cbd is illegal in these parts of world so bummer there.
One thing though I smoke usually before and during sex. And dont think this is going to change. And dont really see no reason to not to.

Riding out withdrawal without re-dosing would be moderate from a modern perspective.
Lot's of people enjoy the withdrawal. It's a rebounding of it's focus, a loss of it with some other crazy shit.
I don't like to get that lost, especially as my heart is feeling separated from my mind.
My older sister described her rare cannabis experiences as a feeling of doubt. It can make that astral traveling heart feel awfully heavy. Things just get awfully real with cannabis. Homer Simpsons reality experience is a let down. I guess I do other things that might be seen as more dirty.

things definitely feel more real on cannabis, i think a good word for it is things become more suggestive.
That's never a good thing for me. As soon as things start looking real, i turn into a huge pussy and won't even put up a fight. When I'm high as soon as things start getting sticky, I'll pretend not to notice. That's fear. fuck fear.

Weed is amazing but like everything else it should be used in moderation. You shouldn't spend everyday of your life stoned out of your mind unless you're motivated and successful like joe rogan. If weed just makes you lazy then save it for the weekends. It should be 100% legal!!

In the USA, marijuana is a privilege afforded for people who are rich and able to escape the law. For people of certain races that are not wealthy they are the ones targeted by police for using marijuana. So blatantly, to the point where marijuana being illegal is actually racist against people who are black in the USA. Thus it should be legalized for that reason alone.

I wasn't getting personal and I'm never in the OTD.
What I'm trying to get at is I feel it's silly and strange that you think the cannabis plant contains the devil inside it .
My opinion is that's an absolutely ridiculous point of view to have, to think there is a "devil" inside a plant.
What does that even mean?
What do you mean by the plant is "impure"?
How much experience do you have with growing and working with the plant? How did you come to the conclusion that inside the cannabis plant is the "devil" and that the plant is "impure"? What sorts of evidence do you have that the "devil" is inside cannabis?
If anything, I feel this plant is the contrary of such and is divine. This plant is a gift from nature and it is some true medicine for some people.
Considering how many people this plant has helped heal & soothe, considering how much this plant can provide humanity with various materials and various medicines, considering how this plant can help clean up soil/the earth and improve the environment, among many other reasons, I don't understand how one comes to the conclusion that this plant is basically "evil" ...?...

Strongly dislike. It causes panic in me 100% of the time. I suspect it has something to do with body chemistry (my brother almost always has the same reaction). I've had quite a few bad trips on acid, mushrooms and analogues but nothing compares to my worst experience on weed (from a single hit, I might add).

I'm curious if anyone disagrees with weed? Normally, weed and I are pretty much on the same page, so fuss. It's not a big talker though, so not much to disagree with

The thought is more important than the act. This gets proved with redundancy of routine.
Imagine going a long time just dying. Nobody wants to fast like that. It's too powerful to not hold on.
But getting off drugs is like that.

ah I probably should have made things more clear,
when there is a devil, there is temptation, attachment, irrationality. when you feel attracted to something, there is a devil. When you become attached to something the devil will show itself.
The devil will make you forget, kindness, conscience, restraint. And distract yourself from purity. You will become impure. Whether or not that is in the act of smoking weed, or in the plant itself. I am not so sure.
However the purity is lost, reduced. This explains why we don't dream after smoking up. It will take at least 5 days for me to restore my purity after smoking weed.
When you are surrounded by people who smoke weed, like me, and alot of other people, it becomes inevitable that you will become someone who smokes weed as well. I won't tell my friends that I don't agree with weed because weed has become embedded in their lives, They will frown upon me. That is the very thing that makes me doubt weed.
Weed is not necessarily addictive, it just attaches to you .
When you smoke weed, you become someone else, if you let it, you become someone different. That is what I mean when I say there is a devil. You stay as that someone else for days to come, it's hard to notice without knowledge of yourself.

I don’t enjoy cannabis at all. I’m all for it’s legalization and don’t care if anyone else partakes. Go for if it’s your thing.
I was just talking about this in another thread...I can get loaded to fucking high heaven on shrooms, lsd, mescaline, ketamine, you name it. But even just a little bit of weed or hash and I feel instantly physically shitty and my outlook becomes fundamentally negative. It’s unpleasant and sucks outright ass for me personally. I smoked for years as a teenager and enjoyed it; something started to change in my early twenties. I haven’t smoked in many years now. Kinda sucks, as it’s obvious many people gain a lot from it. Oh well

It is strong and mixed with booze or not concern happens.
Concern may be a high power. Booze kinda neglects that in a whole way.

This is a really insightful post. I have had similar experiences and currently am entertaining a moderation phase. Its too bad humans are so Quote:
NOUS333 said: I smoked for ten years everyday pretty much. Age 14-26. Ill be 28 in a month so its almost 2 years without weed now. Ive tried it here and there in those two years and i just cant enjoy it. I get trapped in my head thinking too much, i remember why i quit it. It allows a person to stop thinking about what they have to do to become who they want to be. Its like taking a break on your path in life and building a house and staying where you were supposed to only rest for few minutes.
Its not this way for everybody but thats how i see it now. Partly because im terrified of becoming a lazy drug addict like i used to be. At the same time i often reminisce about the good old days and all the creative shit i used to do and be involved in primarily because i was high all the time with no real goals in life which allowed my mind to explore questions many people never ask themselves in life. So i guess this is where it becomes about balance also.
I decided after ten+ years of everyday use, sitting around philosophizing about life it was time to actually get up and live it. You can smoke weed and do mushrooms and everything else and read a ton of books and gain all this wisdom but if you dont get out and live and struggle and feel pain and joy like those who wrote the books and sold you the wisdom then your just a receptacle for information anyone can gain. At some point we have to die and i wanted to be able to look back on my life and say hey. I fuckin tried like hell. I gave it my all. Smoking weed everyday like i was, 1-2g of concentrate every 1-2 days, i was never gonna really test myself. I was never gonna really grow as a person.
After i quit i realized how many mind games weed allowed me to be comfortable playing with myself. I think avoiding emotions was the biggest thing. Some people eat to avoid feeling things. I smoked. I had to feel things i was avoiding my whole life and make actual changes in my life so i could live day to day and be happy, such as mending relationships with family. Things ishould have done long before this point. I also learned how powerful the dopamine system in our brain is in regard to how we think and percieve reality. If you have trained yourself to shut off and relax with a certain stimulus wether its food or weed, and your doing this constantly. Your attention span is shit. Your capacity to reason through emotions and tough situations is shit. Your ability to oversee problems and think within a bigger picture is shit as well.
If you have no attachments whatsoever and your dopamine response is associated with an ideological end goal, such as resolving a conflict in your life, instead of a chemical end goal, you are way more likely to have the ability to invision the solution and have the motivation and persistence to work through everything that may try to get in the way of you reaching that solution.
That brings me to my next thing which is people i run into and observe who smoke, they give up and sell themselves short way too easily and they dont even realize it. They dont see their potential. They just want to be comfortable constantly. Another thing is. Many of them have no regard for how they treat their bodies. They just put all this smoke and shit in their lungs constantly, eat shitty food, drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes. And if they only smoke weed they usually believe its not harmful at all to their brain or lungs when in reality we have no fuckin idea for sure. Like i get weed can be great but that doesnt mean we are built to inhale the shit 24/7. Everytime i inhale anything even when i smoke cigars and accidently inhale a tiny tiny breath of smoke i get a pain in my chest that used to be constant and im 99% sure its from smoking so much weed over the years.
Im so focused and determined to do something with my life and make the best of every day and my time here that the idea of sitting around getting high and not being productive just doesnt appeal to me at all. Some days where i just want to do nothing and relax i think about it but i think if i did it often it would soon become a habit again.
Idk man.
This is a really insightful post. I have had similar experiences and currently am entertaining a moderation phase. After extended off and on usage, it is clear to me that it is merely a distraction. Its too bad more people don't understand how precious our time is. We can create an amazing reality without trivially using substances like THC in such a casual manner.

I have noticed these characteristics as well. This thought is a bit scary when one realizes how easily influenced people can be. So much to the point where they adopt these seemingly benign habits that evolve into nefarious ones.
My issue is that once refraining from substance as a whole, life becomes a bit lonely when the majority of people in your life are naive consumers at the foot of a repressive simulation. Would you mind discussing how you deal with this?

I think your the only one who acknowledged it so thanks. Im sure what i said isnt a popular point of view in this community. But in my opinion its more true than many here are ready to admit. Probably because it requires a huge change and lots of work/self discipline. Many will never have the will to take that on. Much easier not to.

I used to smoke weed like tobacco, one after another all day... After a while of the foggy haze I started to get fatigue and just feel much better having a 3-4 joints over a day instead of 10 joints a day.. Enjoy my doobies a lot more than I used too just by cutting down...
My friend makes a 3grams last over a week, just one joint every night before bed has cured his sleeping problems he just uses it medically

I bet if your friend quit altogether, got some daily exercise, ate good food, his sleep problems would go away.
Thats another thing about weed. It can cause a bunch of problems and then appear to be the one and only cure for them. This isnt always the case but it was true in my case.
Would always say i need it to sleep. Figured i would until death. Was all complete bullshit. A convenient lie i told myself. Didnt even know it was a lie until i quit and got my mind and body healthy

Gotta give credit where its due haha. This is very true as well. I think more people would be opposed to using weed if they knew how puppeteers use this as a means for control. If everyone is couch-locked thinking they're on top of the world they wont see or care whats coming.

Yup. It’s pretty crazy how subliminally it really works. I really didn’t realize it until I moved far away from good sources of quality weed. I’d be driving hours to get it and I realized how isolated and comfortable I was keeping myself when it was just ten minutes away. I mean the hardest thing I had to do was take a shower and get gas and I didn’t even always do that. Then I was right back home getting High. Days,weeks, years went by while I was on this repetitive schedule.
Lot of people are stuck in their own loops like this and still blaming the world for all their problems, for their circumstance in life etc. all of us out here trying to get it and those out there who really don’t give a fuck about anyone but themselves, they love it. They love knowing most people are just going to remain victims, remain comfortable, apply no pressure, just buy breathe consume breed die. Just mindless organic robots moving predictably about the most traveled paths. Those who really see and understand this are able to pedal their products, go back to the drawing board, and know when they come back with a new product the consumers will be there, playing the same old tired game.
But shit. This is true for everything not just weed. Even just behaviors and attitudes. We get stuck in patterns so easily. We forget everyday is new. We become convinced by ourselves and others that the individual voice within is crazy, not to be listened to or trusted. We cling to anger like a drug or fear or worry. I got some coffee as a gift and I feel like a fuckin loser even drinking it because I know it makes me weak. There’s growth in struggle and takin some shit I don’t rly need to feel a shitty little buzz just makes it harder to do shit in the future when I don’t have it.
Anyways.

ah sorry for the late reply,

I know what you mean and to be honest after many years of thinking about it, the only solid answer that worked for me was to just leave, go somewhere quiet isolated where simulation doesn't reach you. The best places are places go to where the spiritually inclined people live.
If you don't like the mess that is going on around you, find like minded friends. People who have the same issues with the mess going on around you. I know what you mean by this repressive simulation, and it's only going to get worse.

The devil will make you forget, kindness, conscience, restraint. And distract yourself from purity. You will become impure. Whether or not that is in the act of smoking weed, or in the plant itself. I am not so sure.
I feel like you're projecting your religious beliefs as if it applies to everyone and as if it is fact.
I'm not religious at all, none of that applies to me in anyway .
And cannabis has not made me forget...has not made me un-kind....has not made me "un-restrained"...if anything it is the contrary of all those things. I feel cannabis has made me much more mindful (not forgetful). I feel cannabis has a distinct warm & kind vibe. Cannabis certainly doesn't cause me to become un-restrained, it makes me more mindful and collected....And cannabis has actually made me even more in touch with my "conscience", not distracted from such.
Quote:

Perhaps how that's how it is for you...I still dream every single night.
For myself...I've been smoking almost daily for over a decade now, I still dream every single night (and quite vividly) and recall my dreams every morning when I wake up.
I have lucid dreams at least once a week and I still recall hundreds & hundreds of dreams I've had through out my life time, all the way back to early childhood.
I am a oneironaut and have always been very much into my dreams and exploring dreams...And I'll say that cannabis has not had any sort of impact my ability to dream at night. I dream almost all night long, every single night.
Quote:
When you are surrounded by people who smoke weed, like me, and alot of other people, it becomes inevitable that you will become someone who smokes weed as well.
So YOU are easily pressured into smoking when you're around others that smoke weed...
...again, that's not how it is for me. I feel like you're projecting your experiences in life as if that's how it is for everyone.
Myself...Back in high school a lot of my friends smoked the herb, but I didn't start smoking until a few years later after I got out of high school and I did so with my own curiosity, not because I was around others that smoked.
I didn't start smoking cannabis just because people around me did so...I was around people that smoked for years and I never touched the herb.
Quote:
When you smoke weed, you become someone else, if you let it, you become someone different. That is what I mean when I say there is a devil. You stay as that someone else for days to come, it's hard to notice without knowledge of yourself.
Maybe YOU become someone else .
I'm no different.
Cannabis has actually played a role in bringing me closer to my "true" self....Like mentioned, I feel the herb brings me more in touch my with conscience and "inner" self.
I feel the herb does away with "fake-ness"...I'm very real and very "me", my true self, with the herb.
Some folks are into wine and wine is a big part of certain cultures...some folks are into cheese and that's woven into certain cultures....some folks are into coffee...some folks are into fine tobacco...some folks are into beer and brewing their own at home....Some folks are into gardening and growing heirloom tomatoes, people are into all sorts of different things.
Some people have coffee every day to start their day...Some people have some beer or wine every day at the end of the day...Some people have a cigar on their weekends.
And for myself, it's cannabis....The herb is part of the culture and lifestyle around me and it is a part of my life. Cannabis is far more than just "a drug" to me, it holds a spiritual and medicinal component as well and it is also a big hobby of mine (growing the plant, observing and appreciating its aesthetics, taking in all it's aromas every day when I water the plants, drying it & curing it, making hash, making edibles, making oil infusions)....This plant has become a part of me, a part of my life.
I love growing the plant, I love the way it smells, I love the way it tastes, I love how it can soothe the body/soul/mind...Cannabis truly holds a place in my heart.
I thoroughly enjoy and love all aspects of this plant, so as long as I have the space to do so I will be growing the plant every year for the rest of my life.
(with all that said....I do consume cannabis every day, but I am not smoking all day or smoking large amounts...I do not aim to get as stoned as possible and any typical day I mostly only smoke in the afternoon, before dinner, and again before bed time)
If you feel like you're being taken over by the "devil" and becoming "impure" when you smoke the herb and you don't want to touch it because of that and your religious beliefs, then that's fine, but that's not how it is for me at all .

If someone was born with a chronic illness of some sort and use weed to live pain free with the LEAST side effects possible they shouldn't be consumed by the devil lol. I don't even believe in a devil so how could he possibly just come outta nowhere and feast on my soul.

yes yes, but have you ever questioned what would happen without the herb, where will you be without it? do you depend on it? do you dedicate yourself to it? do you worship it?
I am not religious, I simply don't think it is beneficial to rely on things like weed. It's sticky stuff, that is not to say that I won't smoke it, as long as I remain in control.
It is the things that comfort you the most that blind you the worst. I don't mean to pry, but are you really in control?

I wouldn't say I dedicate myself to the plant...I wouldn't quite say I "worship" the plant but I certainly do hold the plant in high regards (just like many humans and cultures have through out history) . If I had an altar, some cannabis leaf and/or flower would certainly be on it lol.
I definitely do have a deep passion for this plant, no doubt about that....Like mentioned, this plant is more to me than "just a drug". Just like mushrooms and cactus and all of the plants I work with are more to me than just another drug.
I am in control....Day to day I use this herb more as a medicine than anything, it helps me deal with stress and sensory issues (just merely existing can be quite stressful for myself) among other things. I smoke the same amounts day to day around the same time every day, I'm not smoking all day every day and I'm not trying to get stoned out of my gourd or as high as possible. I use the amount that works for me and I leave it at that and I have so for years now. I have about a pound of herb on hand right now from the plants I grew this past summer, I still only take a couple tokes at a time even though I have a relatively large amount at my disposal. There are certain occasions where I do consume more than my typical day to day amounts and get quite stoned (celebrations, festivals/gatherings, camping, when I am really sick or when I have migraines), but that's not what I use the herb for day to day.
I also genuinely believe that this herb is beneficial to the body in ways (tho smoking specifically isn't the most ideal way to consume the herb). I'm not one of those folks that gets all hyped thinking cannabis is the "cure" to cancer, but I absolutely do feel that it has anti-carcinogenic properties and can help prevent such in the long run.
Just because my herb doesn't come in a prescription pill bottle doesn't mean it's not medicine or beneficial for me.....I don't want to rely on prescription pills/benzos, I don't use "hard" drugs, I've found what works for me and it is small amounts of cannabis.
On top of all that, growing and working with the plant brings me joy.
I do not feel there is anything detrimental or malevolent or "impure" about the ways I choose to work with this plant.

fair enough man, everyone is different I guess, some people have to fill the gaps in life and if weed is the best fit then go for it. I mean if weed is whats keeping you away from benzos and other prescription crap, I can understand that. If you need weed to not be in a state of mind where you cant do anything productive, then go on with your weed.

My issue is that once refraining from substance as a whole, life becomes a bit lonely when the majority of people in your life are naive consumers at the foot of a repressive simulation. Would you mind discussing how you deal with this?
I know what you mean and to be honest after many years of thinking about it, the only solid answer that worked for me was to just leave, go somewhere quiet isolated where simulation doesn't reach you. The best places are places go to where the spiritually inclined people live.
If you don't like the mess that is going on around you, find like minded friends. People who have the same issues with the mess going on around you. I know what you mean by this repressive simulation, and it's only going to get worse.
Thanks for the reply. I am now wondering, without being too nosy,how you make it work financially? Or do you even worry about such nuances? I am stuck and cant seem to get out.

Same. Except I smoke even less these days. 1-2 times a week at most, and when I do it's just a few tokes spaced out through the night while I'm watching shows/movies or playing video games.
And I never smoke weed just by itself. I only get the urge when I'm drinking or tripping.

I don't agree with using it every day, multiple times a day.
Ideally you wanna get in get out. After that first day it starts feeling like I'm flushing money, similar to coke. Some people are fine with that. I like to have my socks knocked off with smaller amounts then wait it out.

The way to do it, IMO, for sure. In high school my friends & I were so stupid...we would sit there and smoke until we couldn't even hold a conversation anymore. And then we'd smoke more. And then more.

I don't always practice what I preach, unfortunately. That's why I say "ideally". 
Sometimes you encounter some super bomb weed and feel compelled lol.

I believe that people who never try cannabis will never be able to understand what it truly means to be happy or free. There's an ingredient in cannabis that disables/weakens the dopamine receptors, thereby decreasing your interest in anything that stimulates dopamine, which funnily enough happens to be what the point of most drugs is (to stimulate dopamine release), so for someone to dislike cannabis is just blatant, blind ignorance. When I am exhausted or tired from work or exercise and I smoke some weed, it's like a ton of energy comes from nowhere and is used to refuel my body, so I almost instantly recover from strenuous activity. Depending on how good it is (Pure THC crystals being the best form (Well actually, I'm not sure if pure THC crystals would have the effect of weakening the dopamine receptors because it is only THC and no cannabinoids)), cannabis will instantly make me stop wanting any addictive drug. Also, by weakening the dopamine receptors, it will stop me from feeling any bad emotions, since bad emotions are a result of lack of dopamine, or negative energy disrupting the stimulation of dopamine.
Nothing more.

I like the way you explained this. It reminds me of the epic Leary quote, "LSD is a psychedelic drug which occasionally causes psychotic behavior in people who have NOT taken it."
