"pothead" stereotypes

you ever notice how people who smoke weed say it "affects people differently" and makes me "motivated more than the next person". but people who dont smoke weed know that it makes people lazy, cuz theyve seen it first hand??

and you ever notice how many teenagers are in this forum??

 

I've seen it first hand too. I've seen how weed can make people lazy and unmotivated, but I have also known people who don't do shit when they aren't stoned. It makes people happy, and some people are too depressed to get out and do what needs to be done if they haven't smoked a little.

It's just like how alcohol makes some people mean as fuck, while making others more sociable and easy-going. Every drug affects every person at least a little bit different.

 

i get the same grades i got before i started smoking, most of em even better.. doing homework high s fun

 

I do all of my studying high, and I have a 3.5/6 (not sure). I go to school full time and I have a part time job. Cannabis makes me motivated to do things, yes. I'm never ever lazy when I'm high. I'm either studying or out somewhere observing. I smoke probably 2-3 times per day when I'm not breakin'.

I have seen some people that just smoke all day and get lazy and just get couchlock all day. I agree with TNS, it depends on the person, the drug, and the circumstances.

 

Why are so many people that are against pot on this forum? You're yelling into deaf ears people. We don't give a fuck. Sorry.

 

^^thats what i was thinking! and they all are regular posters on this forum too. hmm some self hating stoners?

 

no, some of us actually have brains.

 

You not being one of them.

 

You're all on pot

 

Listen..... I bet we can all agree on this.

Pot makes everybody a bit lazier... to some extent.

Some of us don't fight that.... others of us do. Also, I notice that the high is different based on the way I smoked. Bongs are for being lazy. If I smoke a joint I feel very buzzed and upbeat.

In fact, I rarely smoke to sit around and do nothing.

9 times outa 10, its while I'm running errands or going to school or working on homework etc. I don't get shitfaced to the point where I want to sleep or sit around, but just enough to be very curious about shit around me, make me want to do stuff.

Also, I think an awareness of this "pothead lazyness trend" is actually good. If you pay attention and fight off the lazyness, you can actually be more productive than a non-smoker who doesn't realize how lazy he is.

And yeah, try to tell a smoker to quit. Good luck.

 

i love to smoke and then clean my whole apartment.
i don't know. something about being high and cleaning go hand in hand.
school work, on the other hand, cannot ever get done when i'm high. i guess it just depends on the person.

 

I hate being told that. I have no reason to quit, it doesn't kill people like cigarette smoking. I actually haven't smoked in about a week, I've been straight outta weed and no cash to buy anymore, but guess what? I'm still alive, and not robbing houses to buy more weed.

more or less all I want to say is this

my body is my business, if you don't want to smoke I wont blow smoke in your face, but don't tell me I shouldn't smoke

 

You're like the only person so far who has taken the words out of my mouth on this one.

I also like to smoke bowls when I'm hiking.

 

yeah! me too orsino.. we should have a bowl smoking/cleaning/hiking party!

 

i agree with makesmomcry420. it motivates you to work to get more. haha. You don't get lazy, you get creative and realize somethings are a waste of time. As for getting stupid, if your extremly blazed for some test you might not do as well but it depends on the person & it has no effect on you smartness when ya get sober again. People who say that pot makes ya dumb and lazy abviously dunno what their talking about
