i think this question needs to be asked after another one, which is, what/who do you identify yourself with? mind, body, activities, hobbies, personality traits combination of all of these? cuz during my usage of maryjane, i use it fairly often so i'm under the influence quite a bit, and when i'm not under the influence i suppose i'm still affected by it since there isn't many days that pass in between the next smoke. so i believe marijuana certainly alters my life significantly, starting from the activies/things i do(to an extent, i still do most of the same things i think i would've..but who knows??), to the way i look at life, to the way i react to situations, etc. i would say that is a large significant change due from miarjuana but, i believe that it's a good change, for otherwise i don't see why i'd use it as often as i do.
id be very different. i think its ridiculous to try to imagine how we would be had any large lifestyle factor been different. any moment even. im very happy with the person i am but i mean its come with cons as well as pros, its all part of a changing life
Yes I would say its relatively the same. Although I went through a period of derpression and low self esteem but I was also not smoking pot and when I started to smoke again my depression and self esteem got better slowly.
I'd be a black sheep. But yeah, I'd be a lot more bored as well. And I have to say my art has been much better since I started using, so it's affected essentially the most important parts of my life.
I'd have a girlfriend.... nah idnoi had a reputation as a pothead WAY before i ever smoked pot so socially I would be no different though when i cut back this year i did notice my grades were a little(not much) better. Might be related. they just went from like.. bs to b+'s
I definitely think pot has affected me for the better, though. I'd be alot more stressed if I didn't smoke every now and then.
Well, before I started smoking cannabis, I was an emotional wreck, pained by anxiety and sleeping problems. Sometimes I'd be up for days at a time with insomnia-episodes, and during the days I'd be on the breaking-point constantly. There were actually times back then where I would black out from anxiety, furstration, anger, or just whatever. I was also EXTREMELY meticulous with everything I did, to the point of being OCD. I had to constantly check and re-check everything I did; that applies to everything. Turning the bathroom light off, making sure the fridge-door was shut. When I started smoking cannabis, the first thing that I saw go was my sleepless nights. There is no better sleep-aid than cannabis, just plain and simple. I've been on Ambien, Lunesta, and a number of generic narcotic-sleep medicines. They work, but not very well, and I always felt groggy the next morning; and when I'd build a tolerance, they wouldn't work anymore, so I had to wait a week to sleep again. With cannabis, I can just have a residual high, and still get right to bed when I want to; and I wake up more energized. That's a nice thing about not getting uber-baked; when you wake up, you actually feel wide awake. Or at least I did. Casually, I saw my OCD, and anxiety start to slip away. I think this probably had more to do with the fact I was actually getting sleep than with cannabis. So, in short, without cannabis, today I would probably be a nervous wreck, on the brink of snapping your neck, with a sleeping pill addiction. <3 Mary Jane
