I smoked last night with my dad because we were going to watch a funny movie. His weed sucks but I smoked a lot and still got kinda high but it was shitty. I'm not the same when I'm high compared to when I am straight but I guess that's the point of being high. So this brings me to the question why do we smoke? I smoke to get high, obviously! Why is it that I want to get high and change the way my mind works? Sometimes it's to get away from everything and just relax, but as I think of it, sometimes, it's not all that relaxing. Racing thoughts overtake my brain and I just think, think, think and that is really not that relaxng. Other times, I smoke just to have fun because there is nothing better to do. When you're sitting in a room with a bunch of people and everyone is straight, no one can agree on something to do so you light a bowl and then spend more time in that room wasting time by being high. Some people smoke to get away from the stress of the day and some smoke just for fun. Are you that unhappy with your life that you have to alter the way your brain works in order to be happy? If that's the case then I guess your life sucks. Why can't you find something productive to do to pass the time, other than getting high? You can try reading a book, going online or taking a walk. I do smoke weed and I'm not trying to be a hypricrite (sp) but I just want some answers. What is your opinion? How do you philosophise the reasons for being high.
I smoke because I love to get high. I love it for different reasons in different situations. When I'm alone I smoke to relax and also to think about my life without it stressing me out. I also love to listen to music when I'm smoking alone. When I'm with friends I smoke mainly to have fun. I seem to be just an overall happier person with THC in my system, even when I'm not smoking.
Numerous reasons for me. To pass time, make things more interesting, have fun with friends, stress relief, to help me sleep (I have a really hard time falling asleep), to escape the shit that's going on with me right now (social problems). I guess those aren't all, but I can't think of much else right now. If anything else comes up in another post I'll tell you if that's another reason.
i think ppl smoke for the same reasons we do just about anething in life to pursue happiness or just less misery. sometimes to relieve stress sometimes to have fun but ultimately it all comes down to one thing to make life as enjoyable as possible.
i mainly smoke because i just love that feeling you get. and pot isnt like other drugs...when you're...you're up but when you're down.....then you're normal(most people). i also have some kidney problems which cause quite a bit of pain and i usually toke a bowl and it helps alleviate(sp?) that pain. i love to get high AND read...i really love in depth whodunnit's by patricia cornwell, james patterson, and such authors. Stephen King's scary stories are some of my favorites as well. i think catchin a buzz before almost any activity makes it better in one way or another. a warning: i was staying at my girlfriends cousin's house once and i smoked her cousin out the morning before she dropped us off and went to work cuz she didnt wanna go to work sober. i ahd forgotten that we were supposed to help my girl's aunt move into her house that day. hard work+plus really really high= Jay is a sweaty dumbass.
I smoke to change my thinking (I look everything from a different angle when I'm high). When I started smoking I have been a lot of happier and calmer person. And of course I LOVE the feeling of being high. Almost every smoker I know in real life smokes to be ''cool'' and that makes me just sad.
yah i just honeslty love marijuana, and being introduced to it is probbly one of the best things that has happened to me, the culture of smoking pot has changed the way i view life. and well pot is probbly the best thing to happen to me... i know this is sad... but its true, oh and i skateboard, play guitar, hang w/ friends, and work. so i do have a life! though i do love marijuana!
I smoke because i like the high feeling and being really relaxed. When I'm stoned i usually dont have very much stuff goin through my head. Also stress relief like most ppl have already said. It helps me forget what i'mpissed at and helps me focus on more important things in life. Also it tastes/smells great. And it feels great in your lungs. It's also to have a good laugh every once and a while. I love it when I'm high as hell and just start laughing for no reason, and then laughing harder because you dont know what you're laughing about. It's just awesome. Thats why I get high.
I smoke because I love the social aspect of it (chillin with your friends in bean bags, black light, bong with a bowl packed to the rim and cheefin off that while listening to some Aerosmith... does it get any better than that?), helps me get more creative, helps me when im in a bad mood or something, I dont know, I just like to smoke weed, its so great =)
Everyone of my "friends" that ask me why I get high, or question me on it, I merely reply... "For the same reason you get up in the morning?"
I used to get hugh because it made my imagination go wild. Now I get high cos I can't help but get high but my imagination is still wild.
i smoke because: 1. its extremely comical 2. it sets me in a different mindset. very important for writing music and words. 3. it calms me down 4. its a good thing to do socially 5. uhh...everyone needs a hobby!
