I feel really shitty right now. Do you guys ever smoke to get away after having a bad day? I want to, but I know its not the best thing to use a drug as an escape... Opinions?
i do sometimes, only right now since im grounded for drinking.....but its not really good to use as an escape because you become dependant on it..
I once smoked while I was depressed and it made me even more depressed. From my experience I seriously wouldnt recommend it.
hell, i smoke after a bad day. it really helps to get my mind off of it. just toke up and start thinking about happy things, and forget everything bad that happened. whether or not its good for you or not i dont know. dont worry, be happy!!!
I used to smoke pot to escape all the time.... but now I just smoke it cause... I like too.. not cause I am trying to escape..... I hope all works out for you
yah i dunno about you guys, but that's pretty much why i smoke pot. to get away from reality for a few hours. sad or happy, sunshine or rain im still tokin up
I never use any drug to escape from anything. I only take drugs to enhance my allready good mood. Smoking whilst depressed will only make you more depressed.
I've never once in my life been depressed, so I wouldn't know what it's like to self-medicate with it. I'd say that you could easily become dependent on the drug if you use it as a crutch. It will set your mind to "pot" whenever you get sad. That's not a good number to have on speed dial, my friend. I never did understand depression or being unhappy. You've got what,... a good 70 years here? What can be so bad that you've got to ruin the rest of your day with terrible thoughts? So your boss railed on you all day, big deal. Let him go home and stroke his little dick to pictures of little children. It's not your problem, man. When my boss starts going off I just tune him out. It's not my problem that he's making just above minimum wage even though he finished his B.M.A. in business management. I'm just as happy after he leaves as when he came. So, we all have bills coming down on us all day, this, too, is no reason to fret. The worst I can see happening is me filing chapter 11, and that's when I've exhausted all my other resources. Where did worrying about it get me? Best case scenario, it got me to where I would have been worst case without worrying. Like my father used to say, worrying is like a rocking chair, it'll keep you busy for a while, but it will never actually get you anywhere. You have to learn to relax. Problems will come and problems will go, and the worrying you did about the problem today means nothing tomorrow. Like the Buddha said, living for tomorrow, or in your own failures is not the way to inner-peace and tranquility. Only in living for the moment can one achieve true peace and ultimately, nirvana. "Choas is inherent in all things. Strive on with dilligence. Do not dwell on the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate your mind only on the present, for true happiness, and true enlightenment can only be achieved by living for the day." - Siddhartha Gautama (The Buddha). I really want to see you happy. I want to see all people happy. You should really try to let the problems in your life be a minor insignificance, and focus more on the big, more important things in life, like your happiness, your well-being and your relationships with your fellow man.
I disagree...when I'm bitchy, or so down I'm in tears, if I go up to my smokin' room, where the lights are soft, and the drawings of my smokin buddies reside, turn on my fav music, and roll a jay, by about halfway through, my mood is lifted by a mile. :sunglasse I can feel the tension drain away, and leave only a fuzzy, warm, better-than-before-I-smoked stone.
