First, let me start this post off with this: I LOVE weed, I believe it should be legal, and love the way it influences creativity and the thought processes. BUT- Things have seemed to change with weed. Its something thats developed over the past two years, or perhaps something I'm only realizing now. I feel like it makes me antisocial sometimes, for example, I'll be with a group of people who I dont know very well, and they're perfectly cool people who I could talk to sober and all, but stoned I suddenly feel like there's a lack of things to talk about, as if there's is nothing to say, and I just start to feel weird. Im also starting to get the feeling that I'll never be able to be in a relationship being a daily smoker, I don't know exactly why. But I dont feel like I cant connect to someone on a deeper level when I'm stoned, or rather, develop a deeper connection to someone when I'm stoned, unless they're stoned with me. Does that make any sense? I always told myself from the beginning of my potsmokin days, that if I ever began to even THINK that I was psychologically addicted to weed, that I'd quit, but now I'm there (I guess I've questioned myself about this for a while) and I'm not doing it. Any wise words for me?
I've certainly been there before. You just have to stop smoking it so much. I remember I was feeling just like this so I slowed down on the pot and found other interests and things to do instead. I still smoked, but really I went from everyday all day to once or twice a week. I came to my senses and everything seemed to work out again, those feelings all disappeared.. I think you should just slow up on it, you'll feel yourself come back and everything will be straight again. Peace
smoke to feel good. if you aren't feeling that good, then change your habits. Smoking weed is only a wonderful thing when it opens us up and engages us with the world or our thoughts. But if you leave your head open every day for years, things can start to slip out and things loose their relevance. Getting a relationship would probably lead to less weed smoking, by nature of having someone you love to make you feel good, and the fact that you can then react a lot more with each other if not stoned. unless you have very strongly sewn 'potsmoking' into your self-perception
I dont think its bad to be psychologically addicted to it, because it is virtually harmless i get pretty bored when i havent gotten high the whole day, but i dont care because weed makes my like alot better
lol whenever im baked im social as hell. people can tell, i guess its because im really shy. last week i had to come back to the school around 430 and i was baked as fuck. long story short i rekindled an old friendship, talked to a cute girl and got free arby's. so me not being social around people is just me being normal sometimes so i prob. don't notice.
it's only harmless in certain ways. in other ways, if you let it, it can become a catalyst to the destruction of a society rooted lifestyle/social happiness. it can make you very self centred.
I have seen this on some daily smokers but on the other hand i also know daily smokers who arnt self centred at all... (who have been smoking just as long as the others) Could this mean that the self centred people would be self centred either way?
could be based on how much time you spend alone with yourself compared to not being by yourself more time to think of stuff towards yourself when alone and probably less time to think of stuff towards humans from spending less time with humans
