Do you regret starting smoking weed??

Don't just come and post in here "oh no way i love ganja" or something like that just becuase this is a marijuana forum. if thats how you feel then write it though. Im starting this thread because well im not a new smoker its probably been 9 months or so but people keep telling me im going to regret it and shit and i sort of already am because ive lost a few friends because i smoke and they are against it. But i just want to know every ones REAL opinion.

 

I to have lost a few friends after they found out that i became a heavy smoker. In my opinion of your friends dont like you for who you are, then they really arent good friends. In the end, i dont regret starting it was my choice to start and I think ive made the right one. I dont know what my life would be like right now if I hadnt started smoking.

 

I lost Friends and girlfriends because i smoke but i think they are not really your friends if they leave you because you smoke. but i LOVE smokin and gettin high

 

I have had no problems with people that found out I smoke and I regret absolutely nothing about smoking. Some people that found out that don't really like the idea of smoking weed see me as more of an arguement for it (or at least an exception to the stereotypes). It doesn't really affect me in any negative ways and actaully taught me how to enjoy life more.

 

thanks for the feedback. and yeah i agree with if they drop you as a friend because you smoke then they arent really your friend but i mean in their eyes smoking weed is like what doing heroin is in my eyes. and if one of my friends did heroin i dont think id wanna be their friend either. Also, im not only just talking about regretting it because your friends dont like you any more im also talking about getting caught, or it just messing up your life some how.

 

No.

I do wish I'd never started drinking though.

 

nah dude weeds my thing, it doesnt fuck up my life, it doesnt have an imediate effect on my social, school life etc. (except for the small insignificant, ovious occurences such as mnchies laziness etc) but in terms of me regretting it i would say no and i can confident when i say it. weed gave me perspective it made me who i am today whcih i like. weed is not more of a drug but more of a differnt way to take on everyday

 

Haha andcrs...


Yeah I am in the same boat as jimi, i started about 9 months ago, but i dove into it and i am an every day smoker (although once a day). I like the fact about getting high, its great, but I feel i cant do this forever, you know? I also think it affected other things, but not really too much. I made more friends, not lose any, strangely enough.

 

its a money sink, but i like it. I've lost a few friends, but made some more. I even got a few of my good friends started, which is cool.


I do regret cigs~

 

the only thing i regret is my lungs. but if i hadnt started i wouldnt have met so many wonderful people, or listened to so much good music, or fallen in love, or be open minded.

 

just to clear things up i dont regret smoking alot its just a little i wouldnt take it back if i could, because actually i have made some friends from it too.

 

I honestly do not regret smoking, simply because it is such a great way to vent stress, and enjoy life for what it really is. I used to be a heavy drinker, and that is just plain depressing. Smoking has actually(in my opinion), made my life much more enjoyable.

 

Fuck no...
I do regret starting smoking grits though.

 

i lost a best friend/husband to a mixture of pot, coke and video games...... once you start caring more about getting high and playing halo than you care about your own kids you fucked up big time................. i dont regret smoking myself, i don't do it often and it has never interfered with anyhting important in my life.................

 

Nope..... only thing i regret in life is smoking cigs

 

What's a regret?
hehe, but seriously, smokings fine as long as your smoking to get high, not the people that literaly are high 24/7 and smoke to not be depressed!

 

i dont believe i would every regret smokin reefer. imo nothing is a more relaxing/thought enhancer then pot. without smokin pot i doubt i would have the same outlook as i do today. i know that since i started smokin i am a tad more lazy. but thats a small negative point. since ive started smokin ive become a better musician ive become more peaceful and more observant or so it seems. i also try not to regret anything i do. if i do something its my choice to do it, and as long as i have a hell of a time doing it i dont see a point in regretin it no matter how much bad it brings. cause all u have in ur life that is definate is your past, ur future sure as hell isnt. and ur present is gone as soon as it gets here.


hmm that was a weird post ne dont live in regret homie G

 

the only thigns in life i really regret are relationship related.

but yeh as people have said if theyve dropped me as a friend for doing weed then i dont really want to be their friend in teh first place. weed hasnt made me less of a good person. i wouldnt care if a friend did heroin as long as it didnt affect teh relationship. if they kept sayin they couldnt come to something or asking for money or jsut not turning up on account of being fucked in a corner somewhere then its different.

i sometiems wonder where id be if i hadnt smokd weed and i realised id be somewhere conservatively better but in the end, id suck caus ive learnt so much since trying weed.

 

oh yer and the friendships ive gained through becoming a stoner? probably some of the best in my life. i could loose 10 friends for every one of these great friendships i talk of ad id still be happy. not jut stoner friends but friends ive made through stonerfriends as well.

 

I sometimes regret it. I find the more I smoke, the less I actually do with my life. I used to be active (sports wise) and just generally happier. I find when I'm smoking everyday that I'm prone to depression (which NEVER happened before) and that I just generally lack motivation to do the stuff I used to. Also, when all your friends are into weed as well its hard to do stuff not stoned. At Uni all my friends smoke heavily everyday and we rarely do anything fun without the ganj in our systems. The problem is that becuase ganja makes everything more enjoyable, after a while you start losing the ability to enjoy life sober. And becuase you're always stoned you don't learn or develop your skills/hobbies as much as you would if you weren't smoking.


Don't get me wrong, I love being stoned. I just wish I had never embarked on daily smoking becuase it does create a lot of problems. Once or twice a week would be perfect for me, so thats what I'm aiming for now. It's hard though when you live in such a smokefest environment...

I noticed a lot of people saying they have lost freinds becuase of ganja as well. Obviously the stoners are going to argue that those people weren't good friends anyway, but too be honest I can see where the freinds are coming from. Its not a lot of fun being around stoned people if you arent smoking yourself, you can certainly see why friendships can break apart when one person smokes and the other doesn't...

I'm definetely trying to cut down. Being stoned the whole time is no way to live life to it's fullest potential. It's taken me a while to realise that, but I'm so glad I have.
