i've been smoking weed for like 2 years now, since i was 15. and when im high i think of some off the wall stuff like i see things from a different perspective or point of view. and i understand the world better. and sometimes i just sit there a think...when im talking to someone or looking at someone, its like i see them in a different way. like there true self, its weird. i think about so many different things. I hope weed will be legal soon. i hate alchohol, my mother is an alchohol drinker. She pisses me off with that drinking stuff. im trying to go to sleep and shit, and shes in the living room with beer, music blasting, singing loud and bad with that slurred speech..it almost seems like she talks like a retarded person when she's drunk. and its just annoying, then she doesn't even remember wtf happened the previous night. i hate talking to people thats drunk also, its like..they talk all this stuff..and dont remember it the next day..why would you want to drink something that makes you forget about everything the night before. Then i have to make sure someone else picks me up from work when i work late, cause she keeps drinking and driving...she is gonna seriously get in a car accident and may die ( god forbid) . she wont listen to anyone when shes drunk, and sometimes gets smart when i tell her to turn the music down cause i have school/work the next morning. she said she tried weed once, and all it did was make her hungry/have the munchies. that drinking stuff...REALLY pisses me off, and she makes me so damn mad. i want to hurry and move out of there as soon as possible. And i dont want to "talk things out with her" cause i dont want to..she is a loud person, and she is really sarcastic at times, and thats what i hate the most.
Probably your style. It just kept on going and going. I understood it though. Do you feel better now letting all of that out? That's my question.
I feel sorta similar, like weed has opened up a door in my life. I can relate to that, but not the mom troubles, I don't really have one Take care bro peace
man my dad drinks alot and is the same way... alcohol can ruin families really easy and I can def. tell a difference from like 2 years ago in the way my dad acts. I have never been much of a drinker, and it amazes me how sometime people will not realize the people they are hurting when they do drink. I used to get really mad when my dad would be drunk and acting stupid. My friends would come over and he would make an ass out of himself. But now Ive gotten older it doesnt bother me as much. Maybe thats a bad thing? I guess the main thing is that my parents are drifting apart and i think its from the alcohol. I guess its just a overall fucked up situation but its life
Same here man, my dad use to drink alot but not like he does now.. it's really affected him in the past 10 years. When he was my age he'd smoke tons of pot, his brother did too. But now he just gets home from work drinks about 5-7 glasses of vodka/whiskey and tons of beer and just acts like hes pissed off at everything. Don't get me wrong hes a good man, but.. alcohol is a disgusting drug imo. Just hang in there for 1-2 more years man, thats what I'm doing..
I can relate. My ma's also an alcoholic, but shes cleaned up quite a bit, compared to when I was younger. I remember being like 10 years old, and going in the bathroom to find my ma slouched over the toilet passed out. And the memory of her stumbling around, pouring a glass of straight vodka and ice, slamming it, then eating a sandwich on the couch and throwing it up all over. My mom doesnt abstain from alcohol altogether, which scares me, but shes been doing good for several years now. She did get some help and it seems to have done her good, I just wish shed give it up altogether. She still has a couple drinks every night, but she wont get drunk, and even when she goes out, she comes home just buzzing a little, at the very most. She knows that I'm not cool with it, and if its affecting me in any way, she will simply say no, and I give her mad props for that. What sucks though, is that now she has been through addiction, and as a result, doesnt want me doing any drugs. She always pulls the "I've been there and I wouldnt want you to go through what i did" card, and she wont let me smoke pot. I've tried explaining to her that marijuana and alcohol are as different as night and day, but she doesnt wanna hear it. I guess she just wants me to have a good life, and not fuck it up in the way she started to, so I can understand and respect that. She knows I smoke pot, I just dont do it around her, and I always use clear eyes and whatnot to conceal my high. Anyways, yeah, weed opens your mind a lot. Every night, after I smoke, I just ponder shit quietly, sitting on my bed with some soft music playing... The different perspectives and knowledge you can gain never ceases to amaze me. It seems like every night I have an epiphany, which totally changes how I see things and how I feel about them. It makes me more compassionate and keeps me grounded. Its incredible to think that in the US that is criminal behavior.... fucking unbelievable
Man Im sorry to hear about your mother, but at the same time it sounds like you got some good insights out of it all. And this last paragraph is killer. I know exactly what you mean and couldnt have described it better. It absolutely blows my mind to think we are considered criminals for that.
A lot of people bad mouth alcahol on these forums. just because of the fact that being high is better, dosent mean alcahol is crap and no one should drink. Some of the craziest nights ive had are while I was drunk, It gets me hyped up and ready to go on a super magical adventure. Also alcahol does open me up, not in the way weed does but it makes me say whats on my mind- something that a shy person like me wants to do. Its a good drug in a social setting. Also I remeber all the things that happened on a drunk night, I remember more than what I would if I were high. As for weed- I all think we can agree that it is a better over-all drug. For me weed is like therapy, it really speaks to me, showing me little things on how to improve my life. However some of the revelations ive had while high dissapear quicky, and are pushed away and contradicted to the sober mind. I would advise every one to hold on to the things they have learnt while high and apply them to real life.
Same man, weed always speaks to me.. makes me look at things in a very different way. But once I'm sober I tend to argue with those new thoughts alot. Its a strange feeling, but I love it everytime
how? i end up forgetting what i was thinking about should i write it down? i think if i do that, it would make my life better. like i can still remember that world from a different perspective while sober. I think that would overall make me a better person, and help me improve on things i need to work on.
Man my mom is the same exact way. She is a good person when she doesnt drink though. Shes fun to be around and treats everybody well. But she has a bad problem of when i have friends over she will drink and drink. Thats why i dont have friends at my house anymore lol. its horrible ill have to go pick her up and carry her up the stairs (shes little) while my friends are sitting there watching the entire thing. i dont get the point of being an alchoholic. i mean i like to drink with friends every now and then but not to the point of being a retard.
Just try and remeber the most impotant things you have learned, not everything. Writing it down may help, or drawing a picture. Having a creative outlet like music or drawing is great for capturing ideas. And then follow through with those ideas when you are sober, even if they dont seem as great as when you are stoned.
Weed and alcohol are both great things, and both have the ability to fuck a person's life up. With alcohol it's just a tad easier.
