The Complexity Of Being A Stoner

that's deep and i fucking get it man

i completely understand what you're talking about
i've been sucked into the world of weed and sometimes when i'm sober i realized that some decisions i've made when i was high are pretty god damn stupid and it depresses me when i'm sober........ don't get me wrong, i love being high, but just like ;you said, when i'm sober everything i did when i was stoned seems like some unreal fantasy but then i realize that i am just living in some stupor and i could be doing much better.

i'm torn between getting high and being sober, i want to be both

i've been thinking about taking a break because i've been smoking every day for about 6 months..... i think it would be good for me to have a period of clarity because before i was always motivated when i was stoned, and now the past couple of weeks i'm turning into this unmotivated person, so i think that a week of clarity would be nice

how long do you guys usually break for after smoking for a while

 

Oh my god, you're my brain twin! You literally said everything I've ever said, word for word!

awesome.
being wise is good....

 

the right side of your brain is everyday (sober) use,
the left side and other parts of the brain never be discovered tingle when thc enters your body.

the information hides after the thc is gone
but what the thc does it gives your brain more links.
so if you want the freedom of being high in the sober world
test what you've learnt in the level we're all standing
and you'll reach better highs



-dont diss

just my op

 

what does that mean

 

I've had lots of different perspectives on how I feel about weed

As of right now, i'm just enjoying smoking. otherwise i wouldnt smoke.

when i first started it was without any bad stigma or anything, because it was just tons of fun, and thats it.

as i kept doing it, over the years i felt i sort of attached my using with it negatively, like i'd feel guilty about smoking a lot, but i'd still enjoy my highs quite a bit....i just had this negative feeling associated with it

and now, i figure...if its making me happy, or happier. ,,,and it's not fucking up my life, then i should just enjoy it

im just living and learning right now, i think the experience is all for the better.

 

Being a stoner, I've thought about so many other things that i would have never thought of when im sober, but does that mean i can't think about them while im sober...? Its such a simple yet complex thought. Surely, whenever im blazed i feel more free, and enjoyable. It just brings you to a place where you can be yourself, but once again...can't you just be yourself normally? Being that i smoke basically everyday (today im not), i can already sense the difference in an extensive amount.

I just think that smoking herb is something that expands your herizons. It gives you a better understanding of what life should be about, guidance. Guidance is what people need, yet no one seems to see. Pot is just something that gives me guidance. But yes, once again...could i get this guidance without tokin' up? I really couldn't tell you.

All that i know, is I like where I'm at right now, and I'm looking forward to continue to grow as a person, and hey...MJ is something that helps me along the way.

its all about moderation, and that goes for everything (almost). Also when you hit a low, the high will feel so much better, and thats why you should take breaks sometimes between sessions, or something like that. And for a stoner's world and mainstream world, Everyone has different ideas and life is what you make it.
im not really sure if any of that made since, but owell.

 

whoah, holy shit, me too! Nah, just kiddin, marijuana for me has made me enjoy watching a three legged dog try to fuck. Different people huh?
life’s a box of chocolates, they always put the white chocolate in one section, and the dark chocolate in another.

 

Yeah I'm way too lazy to read all that... But I did read the first post.

You are definitly true about the geniuses in stoner disguise. Because I am the exact same. If I dont fuck around I'm in the gears to go.

 

i agree with bill here.

well here are my 2 cents.one shud realise there prioirtys when the time comes....ya'know
if u have a family to feed & shit..& ur off toking then man u need to get ur shit together...theres a time & a place for almost everything..for getting wasted or whatever.smart ppl will get there shit together when the time is upon them*& i dont think laying off weed is that big of a problem*
i think i will be able to get my shit together when its time*damn whats with "the time" man*coz i have in the past..& and all ppl talking about supporting ur families & getting high & shit...much respect!

peace

p.s awesome post the best iv seen so far

 

damn, ya caught me


though, ironically


i can normally only read these long posts when i'm high


so....give me a few minutes

 

& i read all 3 pages :|

take that biaaaatttcchhh! lol

 

i apologize, as i did not read every single page here. although, i read the original post, and i read bill's post.

without saying anything specifically about either one, here's what i have come up with:

it is obvious that i do not necessarily realize how often i'm high, but i do know that i am high pretty often. not all of the time mind you. i could not survive 24/7, though i have gone a whole day (4/20, go figure) before, but that's my celebratory limit.

now, i do know that many people may admit to "sober life" as being pretty boring, or rather, your expectations are set a little bit higher. going around thinking, "hmm, well damn." (or maybe that's just me sometimes). things, perhaps, just seem "better" when you're high, obviously, you're high. when you're high you're happy, i think that's a pretty obvious statement, yes?

although, for me personally, sober life is its own experience, and you've gotta treat it as such. you get to pick what happens and how it happens. the effects of these actions will arise or subside. so let's just say, as you come in contact with other people, you sort of "rub off" on them, or you leave an impression. this impression makes a difference, be it the smallest possible happening. needless to say, you've affected them.

you can control this effect. this is enough to be optimistic about on a regular day. you wake up, and you start deciding what you'll do during the day, or you decide not to plan anything. either way this optimism should lead to a positive outlook on the day ahead. therefore, you're going to try to make the most of it. that's the cliche sounding part, but it's like emotional self-preservation. ya know, why not just take it all in, see how it goes, let it happen, and go with it.


but who knows, right?

 

damn, i just realized this was old






oh well, still pretty good thread though

 

yes it is

--bump!!

I wrote my opinion on this thread last februrary. 8 months later I'm wondering if my opinion has changed. i'm gonna write what i think of mj now, in a bit.

 

Marijuana can only do whatever one makes out of it. Recently one of my favorite quotations has been “Give something to a monkey, you will get a monkey reaction.” There is a time and a place to act like a young monkey, as there is a time and a place to act like a mature adult. I’m human, I make mistakes, but I prefer to make them sober compared to stoned mistakes. Making a mistake stoned has another negative on top of the mistake. A stoned mistake would generally be blamed on the weed first and you second by straight society. Knowing this, there is a time and a place to get high and a time and a place to stay sober. Certain mistakes would be too big of mistakes period to risk making these same mistakes high. For this reason, I will not get high if the place and time are not right.

Life is the most important thing, however marijuana is a part of my life. My mind has been opened to another perspective on life. In the situation that life put me in, it is easier to reach the point where I feel that I am at peace with myself and my surroundings when I am high. The important thing to keep in mind is to be able to feel at peace with oneself and surroundings even when one is not high.

There are positive and negative aspects of smoking. As long as the positive aspects outweigh the negative aspects smoking does not interfere with life, but rather enhances it. After smoking, I feel that I have become more aware of my surroundings. Marijuana showed me the door of the importance of learning. After walking through that door, I want to keep on learning and experiencing.

Peace guys, to those of you still reading this thread, make a good day today Its nice to find an inspirational thread on here when many of the other threads around loose meaning. I must confess though, as I finish typing up this post, many of the other posts within this thread blended together. The thing that sticks out though is that the posts before mine together form an inspiration to be the best person one can be. As stoners these posts say to be responsible, and in order to be responsible, one has to take responsibility for their actions.
