Marijuana affects my pride

Today I realized that weed screws with my confidence for some reason. I felt great at work today, and I was all secure and stuff, then I go home and smoke pot and I get irrationally insecure. This is sort of a new effect, but I just want to know if anyone else faces the same problem?

I have the same problem. Many people do. Try to do what Teragon said or try cutting back.

You see? I subconciously lower cased the first word in the sentence because "U" is more worthy of being uppercased than I am! Why am I so lower cased!!!!

I feel a drug that can bring me down that much is not worth my time. That is why I don't fuck with weed anymore.

Exactally, similar to how one might enjoy the spirtual experience of an ethnogen, inducing a "death and rebirth" effect during the trip.(Something also more intense, with more insight, yet with more physical effects) Plants such as b. caapi and ayhausaca trips seems to interest less than more available and profit making drugs, such as coke or heroin.

actauuly well yeah it just depends the person and the person's life, considering the current or past experiences that could effect their high. (example, paronoia, i sometimes get paronoid, but its almost always due to an event) Mindset and location are nessessities when it comes to trips, and would defintely benefit weed experiences.

Paranoia is quite common with pot. Stressful locations can make it worse.
How about just relaxing with some friends and a good movie, and perhaps a liiiittle bit of bud. Not much.
Go for a giggly high again.
Or, as mentioned earlier, take a break and go clean for a while.

i know exactly wat you mean man. that used to happen to me all the time. i would get blazed and start thinking about how many other better things i could be doing instead of being high(im sure u know wat i mean). it also made me really burnt out by the time it was like 8 or 9 at night, and i'd fall asleep early all the time.i really hated those feelings of lowness and unmotivation, so i decided to cut back multiple months ago.
now, i ONLY(except some weekends) smoke at night, that way when im high i can just reflect back and think about everything i've done and accomplished during the day, and be satisfied. like i wont have to worry about being productive with my time any more because i know i went the whole day without being high and i handled everything i had to do. And finally at night when i do get high, i say to myself "i deserve this and its my reward for all of the shit i've been doing today", u know? that makes me feel really good about myslef.
so thats how i dealt with that problem. i just did everything i had to do during the day, and at night i would get blazed, relax and be completely satisfied and i must say i have a greater appreciation and respect for weed now. and my life seems to be alot better

Heres a good trick for you bro:
instead of thinking about yourself, and what people think about YOU, think about other people, what they probably think of themselves, and what they're REALLY thinking when they talk to you.
Are you a likeable person? Can people approach you? Do you have cool friends that you like to hang with?

Marijuana, especially in high doses, can bring latent mental issues to the surface. If you feel "dirty", "bad", "unconfident", etc it is because on some level you really do feel that way, and your sober mind has built up a good mechanism for suppressing it. It's up to you to find out why you feel that way. I'm still on that journey
-------------------- “Strengthened by contemplation and study, I will not fear my passions like a coward. My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”
