I agree, I never saw the fascination with weed, anymore than I do with alcohol. It's fun from time to time, but it really just dulls your senses...not too fun for me.

A lot of people get "anxiety" from smoking. Is it because they see their ego from a more detached perspective and cannot handle it?
I smoke daily to relieve muscle and joint pain, stimulate appetite, and to enjoy myself. Marijuana makes my life 100% better since I have early onset fibromyalgia.
If you don't like the high then don't smoke it. I don't do meth, coke, or anything other than tripping/herb any more simply because the highs are not worth it and not that exciting on their own. I feel herb and psychedelics can aid my progress in life, not hinder it. It is a wonderful ally for daily use.

Usually it's a sativa that makes people feel anxiety... if your wanting to relieve muscle and joint painn then an indica is probly a better bet.

Yeah I'm smoking on two strains that finished August 26, outdoor heavy indica strains from Spain. My body hasn't felt this good since last fall If you smoke more than a bowl of this to yourself, you get pretty anxious--especially from the more sativa dominant plant. Lots of indica=anxious, a little=chill

I had a friend in high school who would get hyper as hell when he was stoned. Some people can't handle weed. They get paranoid and reclusive and anti-social. I've met at least a couple Shroomerites who don't smoke weed anymore for that reason.
Yea I get anti-social, for others they get social. I don't like being around people when I smoke but others seem to love it for some reason. I just get really quiet and think alot.
Me too. I still smoke with my friends though. That is probably because I never really buy weed anymore, and if I did have it I don't always feel like I really need to smoke.

I agree, id quit if i could i know im fucking up my brian but it aint good enough reaosn to quit. I am addicted to weed. Fullstop. I need it to be hungry, i need it to sleep, i need it to calm me down, i may not actually NEED it for those, but i have grown accustomed to it to acheive those things. They are now associated with weed in my mind. When i get home from work having a joint is the one thing apart from music that keeps me from having a fucking nervous breakdown and ripping out every last shred of my hair. Just debts doing nothing but piling up, not having a girlfriend, my shitty job, friends strung out on drugs amoung other things......i need that j at the end of the day to calm me down, either that or a drink or something. Just to help me forget what a shitty day ive had. It helps me just sit there and be in ignorant bliss for 1/2 hour, sometimes it makes me really paranoid now though. Without weed i feel much more clear headed and chatty and lively, but then i get home and cant sleep and if something pisses me off ill fuckin tear their head off quicker than you can say J!

Of course, weed can be psychologically addicting. For that matter, ANYTHING can be psychologically addicting. As far as weed goes, I like it like a lot of people do - it's a great buzz. Having said that, there just is no comparison between weed and coke and meth. I've seen/heard/read of too many lives torn apart by meth and coke to even think they're in the same class as weed.

I didn't really like weed at first, to be honest. Then the more I experimented with it, I found it to be very useful. Maybe I am just more sensitive to THC then some, but I always have very powerful experiences with weed. I only use it once a week and intend to stick to that. I can see how it can be easy to slip into abusing weed if you're not careful, but as always, moderation is best.

Well the point of this thread was to kind of shock people out of the safe, innocent, harmless mentality of weed. The truth about THC as with anything else is when you introduce a substance into your body that effects the operation and reactions of the chemicals in our brain used to mediate our moods and mentality, your body causes a sort of negative feedback system to occur. As chronic777 stated, he finds it more difficult to get hungry, to sleep, and to calm down without it. Think for a second, when you're high, it's the complete opposite, you ARE hungry, you ARE able to sleep, you ARE able to calm down. Your body is fighting the effects of the THC trying to create a ballance by reducing your bodies own natural ability to achieve these things. The body loves ballance, so much so that it will do anything and everything to sustain it. Also remember, for any foreign substance to effect the body in any way it must bind to receptors meant for natural chemicals in the body. For example: The only reason Heroin and Opiates of any kind cause you to feel good and calm and euphoric is because it binds to the same receptor that ENDORPHINS bind to, therefor the body experiences much of the same symptoms of runners high, synthetically. Likewise, cannabinoids bind to some receptor in our brain meant to mediate the effects of battling anxiety, producing hunger, calming nerves, and so forth. Proof that THC can infact become physically addictive. The ONLY reason it is not recognized is because the symptoms of cessation from long term chronic marijuana use are not properly documented as no study has yet to subject humans to an "illegal" substance and then study the long term problems that arise. Smoking weed occasionally is not going to mess up your ballance, it takes a while, smoking everyday for over 3 weeks is likely to begin the reactions. Every action has an equal or opposite reaction. Chronic777, is your memory also effected? I don't mean while you're on it, but off it too.

Heh, just because you're weak and smoke crappy weed, doesn't mean that marijuana sucks. No, come to BC and smoke what I'm smoking, now tell me that it's not a 'high'. Marijuana's psychoactive you know. Smoke some better shit, or eat some and you'll be blown right out of the water.
As for being addictive and leading to a shitty lifestyle, it's losers and morons that smoke marijuana. Marijuana doesn't turn people into losers or morons. People with a potential to abuse in the first place are the ones who get 'hooked' on weed. So you should reaaally get your facts strait before you ramble about pot. I'd say that it's just not your things.

tired, hungry, lazy and eventually gain fat due to the pot smokers life style and diet of high GI index foods such as twinkies and mountain deew.
Ok, IMO, the north american lifestyle has more to do with being lazy then cannabis Look at the studies of CRONIC smokers from Greece , Jamaca etc , here are men that work their balls off ALL day in the hot sun, while totally baked No lack of motivation there. As for high GI foods, well I dont eat those anyway(they give me pimples), and I have one of the strictest diets of anyone I know, I dont even eat meat unless I KNOW how it was rasised, and what it was fed. And it also depends on the strain....as someone how doesnt like Cannabis, I assume you dont even know that there are strains of pot that "Wake you up" A strong sativa has a much more stimulating effect, but since indicas are short fat and fast......people grow indica or mainly indica strains, i.e. CASH. (Legal cannabis would open up every flavour on the menu)
Quote:
I woulden't at all call the buzz a high, ecstacy is a high, shrooms are a high, cocaine is a high, meth is a high.... Weed? nah, thats no high, thats just some way to avoid responsibility and do nothing all day while enjoying it.
Well I thats funny because I see the oppisite, I see Cannabis users being the motivated ones!, Meth???man do you know how many people are just WASTING their entire lives on that shit????, I have FRIENDS that are addicts, trust me.....Cannabis hasent fucked up my life, but they sure did a good job fucking theirs up with meth. As for food and motivation....... thats NOT TRUE, sure for someone that sits around all the time ,watching TV and getting fat, strong indicas are not a good fit. But what about me for example....I have been up since 8:30, I have already looked for work, gone to the goverment office, worked in the yard, and now I am about to smoke a solar bowl, and then its back on the road for me(on a bike), to look for work.
Quote:
Weed is a joke, I don't feel like getting tired and lethargic I feel like getting mutha fuckin high! That's why.
Once again, your lack of experience with the drug, and GROWING might be the problem. Ever eating a pot brownie???, and what do you mean you dont like being lethargic??? you were talking about heroin in another post Cannabis is safer then ANY drug on EARTH.....safer then COFFFEE, and thats a scientific fact that I am willing to provide AMPLE evidence for. As for mental addiction, well that doesnt mean shit, sure people miss cannabis, and want to smoke it if they are used to smoking it.....its NOTHING compared to the shit PAIN I have seen, hard drugs like METH and Heroin create problems far beyond any thing Cannabis has EVER done. And every "stoner" I know(accept me) has a job. But remember Cannabis isnt a drug you do and then your a stoner and your part of the club...........(nice , easy going etc) I have meet some real assholes that happen to like cannabis........but by the same token, you CANT assume Cannabis users are lazy , or unmotivated, or that Cannabis use = no exersice and a poor diet. Hell after I get home I am hitting the weights, then I am eating good meal(not something high in GI...or to much protein for that matter. (when did people forget that to much of ANYTHING protein OR carbs is bad??, fuck man to much protein and you will casue weak bones , acidic blood, and damaged kidneys) As for not calling pot a high...... You need some better Cannabis.

I smoke regularly, and I have no problem being motivated or being in shape. I work out and play sports, and attend college where I'm on the dean's list. Doesn't seem like a problem to me.
