To my knowledge, cutting back has no positive effect whatsoever on the drugs effects and actually makes matters worse quite often. Now, if during the break drastic and positive changes to your mental state have been made, then things might improve a bit when you resume smoking again... for the time-being.

I like the idea about reflecting on positive things you've done during the day and only smoking at night , however this presumes that positive things have actually taken place, which is rare due to the amotivational side-effect.

My advice is not to smoke anymore - been there and done that. You'll only become more sensitive to its effects and get dragged down further and further in my experience.

I'm convinced that a good amount of this effect is due to the illegality and taboo surrounding cannabis and its use. Especially when one considers that while you're under its effects your subconscious is a little more in reach. Add to that the fact that the majority of us (in the US anyways) have been exposed to probably thousands of instances of anti-drug propoganda: commercials, news reports, rumors and untruths, parents, police etc.

You're bound to be sensitive and get down on yourself. I went though a period of that and had to realize that I was not a bad person, I was not stupid, I was not lazy (though one could be...), I was not destroying society. I took a few experiences to focus soley on these aspects and afterwards, the feelings mostly passed or became managable.

This phenomenon is part of a theory I have on why certain drug users become...downtrodden because of their use while others continue to lead their own lives. After being told that something is bad, evil, wrong, treasonous for twenty years and then identifying oneself with it, the natural subconscious urge is to categorize. You say that I'm bad? Fine...guess I'm bad.

I like hoopershroomer's perspective. Get your affairs in order and then partake. What are they going to say to you then? We all know there's nothing wrong with and by taking that approach, there's nothing different between you and them except their prejudice. Hang in there and hold your head up!

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 :smile:




Yeah... Anyone can feel bad or dirty, it's how you interpret the message. If you take the feelings which suggest you're actually a bad person, and take them to heart... of course you'll feel like you're a bad person because you've convinced yourself. It is my opinion that weed does this, it happens to me all the time. It's just irrational thinking, and weed makes it seem rational. Relax, and if these ego games get out of control, do something about it. Stop smoking dope, or try smoking a strain that produces a different high that you find easier to manage. I get these problems all the time, in the end, don't consider them to be too important.  :grin:

I can say the main problem i rarely have with weed is paronia, and being burnt out. 1, i can avoid paronoia by being on the "Safe" side, and take precautions to avoid confrontation or being caught. 2, I dont get burnt out anymore due to my daily dose of adderall, which defintely allows me to smoke and do more than i usually would have the motivation to do.

When I smoke I just get quiet, lazy, tired, and hungry. I do not get happy, giggly, open, or anything positive. I just withdraw into myself and then pig out (which makes me feel terrible because I'm trying to lose weight).

I am currently in the process of quitting weed completely. It is not worth it to me at all, but I am so used to smoking each night before bed. I've got to stop!

Whenever I smoke I always get quiet, introverted, paranoid, I always think everyones making fun of me, I get tried. Usually i'll end up not saying a word for hours when im real high with a group of friend. I get in such a deep thought of just a bunch fucked up things. Its normal though. This is the reason I hate weed, unless im on other drugs is the only time I wont get those effects from it. Taking a break wont help, I was the same exact way the fist time I ever smoked. Im gonna be on probation a month from today so I finally have a reason to quit.

I agree 100%. I was going to make a reply similar to this. Read what this guy says. When you smoke weed, you think in the back of your head "oh my parents don't like me doing this", "this is illegal and I am a bad person" and etc. The fact that it is illegal and looked down on by society makes you feel bad about yourself. Try to realize this and overcome. Thanks

solution:





stop smoking pot
if its not making you feel good it can't be good for you... even if it is a drug and you get 'high' you're just lying to urself trying to make urself enjoy it.

try another drug, perhaps? or abstain for a while

Weed definitely increases anxiety in me. I think it's only because my mind goes blank and I can't think of anything to say around people so I become anxious. But it does put you a little on edge anyway if you are not a naturally relaxed person. I do enjoy it at night when alon though, but find that I am not very productive. So for those reasons I have quit. Also, I have been into meditation a lot lately and pot is no good for that. You just fall asleep or your mind wonders forever. Meditation is hard enough to do correctly anyway.

I'd also like to add that because pot is such a widely accepted drug, like alcohol, peer pressure is a big issue for some. If all of your friends are sitting around getting high you don't want to smoke you will likely recieve criticism or they will think you have a problem, which you do. I would say that those who experience anxiety when high should simply quit smoking untill they get their anxiety under control by lifestyle changes like exercise and meditation.

Same thing happened to me. My confidence took a huge hit from smoking(and i used to be a cocky bastard). BUTTT
the good side is. You learn ALOT about yourself, and if anything, after a while...you rebuild your confidence and the weed doesnt fuck with you like that anymore, and the new found "pride" is much more real.

Maybe something that crosses over into another thread, but what's wrong or bad about thinking about death?  If it brings you down so much, maybe think about it some more...
