Alright so a while back I got busted. To make a long story short, I am now in rehab. I haven't smoked in 3 weeks. I used to be an every-day-stoner, and already I'm noticing that everything seems clearer. I feel so much more intelligent. The cold, hard truth is that weed makes you dumb. And lazy. Weed is nothing but a cheap thrill, a temporary get-away from reality. Weed doesn't cause cancer, it can't kill you, but it can get you into a heap of trouble. All tests and quizzes I've taken the past 3 weeks sober, I've passed with flying colors. If you honestly disagree, you're fooling yourself. There is a reason weed is illegal, and it isn't a conspiracy.
yeah yeal i feel the same way. i quit smoking weed two years ago because i was making me really paranoid. when i smoked i would lock all the doors, shut all the curtains & have the TV on really low. it was gettin rediculous & i wasnt enjoying it at all. i smoked pritty much every day, some days i didnt smoke but more often than not i smoked. when i quit it was like i had been unwrapped from a blanket that i'd been swaddled in. the cloud had been lifted from my mind & i could think clearly. i had more energy than i had in years. you dont realise that your mind is soo foggy untill you quit, you dont realise how lazy you have become & that the world revolves around smoking weed.
Well I sort of disagree. I completely understand what you both are saying, but i do not think that you can just say everyone will be dumb, lazy and paranoid. It really depends on the person - what their personality is like and how they handle different things and situations.
I got busted a while back. I've always been straight A's, but my adjustment to prep school and college was rough... I found I'd sort of 'black out' during lectures and such. When I started smoking a lot of weed daily, I found that I could focus, take notes, and get my work done. My grades went back up to B's and A's. After getting busted and weekly drug tests, I'm again struggling with school. Can't wait to blaaaze again, but it's going to be about another year =/
It's different for everyone, but I honestly think smoking weed everyday will ruin it for anyone. It shouldn't be a constant thing. It should be savored a few times in your lifetime.
^ exactly. Anything you abuse is not good for you. It only consumes your life if you allow it to. This is your own fault.
doing any drug every day will start to fry your mind. But even when I was smoking every day I was passing tests with flying colors. Just because you can't doesn't mean 1,000 other potheads can't My memory and linear thought process was sometimes shot though But, I don't really care. Even when I was a serious pothead though I wasn't lazy, I think people use smoking pot as an excuse to be lazy. Ever notice how many potheads go out and play frisbee, or go bike riding, or go hiking. It's as simple as getting off your ass.
I respect your decision and opinion, however I strongly disagree. I was a 95% average student before being introduced to marijuana, and now I have over a 97. When I smoke weed, it makes me care and take an interest in other activities I may not like sober, i.e. homework/school.
Ahem. I'm sorry to hear you cannot smoke weed anymore, but I am glad you are becoming clear-headed again. In my experience,.... I smoked, on average, more often as I progressed through high school. The correlation to my GPA is astonishing in that it goes up by nearly a whole letter grade with the increased smoking. Freshman(B-)Sophomore(B+)Junior(A-)Senior(A). However I do suffer decreased focus when it comes to math and smoking. The opposite is true for english, art or music. Marijuana seems to make everything easier and more enjoyable. I love you all.
So what everyone is saying is that it's different for everybody. Everyone is confronted with different situations and different amounts or frequencys of weed.
Actually its your fault that you got to smoking that much in the first place. Weed never has made me lazier than I already am, foggy, etc. It varies from person to person, and there certainly is nothing in marijuana that inherently makes you lazy, that again would be your fault. Sorry, thats just the way it is. And to say it should still be outlawed because you were irresponsible enough to let your toking get out of control is laughable. Not to mention selfish. So your thought process is a bit faulty.
you're making a far more generalized statement than can ever be true. you're not taking into consideration the different strains/qualities/types of weed, or different people's responses to the weed. right now i have some weed that chills me out, relaxes me, and helps me sleep (i'm in a super un-sleep friendly living environment right now, so this is a good thing!). i also have some weed that helps me get up off my ass and be productive. i clean, do dishes, write resumes, whatever. it's a very creative and productive high. and i smoke every day. i don't like... freak out if i don't smoke every day, but it's a nice evening thing, or during the day if i'm feeling sick or having difficulty feeling creative flow or productivity. to say all weed, or all people are the same and have the same responses is completely ridiculous.
oh god I just smoked a fat spliff and am in such a buddha trance right now whoa, beeyotch. look for the white sun, red sky yuh catapult healing. ever heard of that? I can give you directions. Old Sk00l.
Yea, it must suck getting raped by the law. It's a bitch being a bitch. Seriously, rehab for pot? What a fucking pathetic joke you are.
oh, i thought you had come up with something new to try. things are well for you? i've been thinking about you a lot for some reason lately.
