Question, has herb changed the way you think about life.

Im going to keep this simple, but its something I often think about. Has weed changed the way you think about things in general, your thought pattern or whats important to you.

My answer: Very much yes, I see things much differently and no longer enjoy stupid shit I used to care so much about. Thats not to say that weed has taken over my life (I hate when people say that) its just changed my outlook on life. I think that it has made me alot more creative in a mental sense, like being able to see different aspects of a subject matter instead of being so biased or opinionated to one side. Some times I feel like I have opened my eyes to things I could not see before, like inlightenment of knowledge, being able to at least grasp the complexity of a subject instead of just a pathetic close minded view.

Im just curious to ask this question, because I wonder if people do not change at all, and toking is basicly like taking tylenol. After its effects are over, you dont think any differently. Its crazy the different effects on different minds.. the one good thing to always remember is the famous quote 'Everyone is different'.

 

It's definitely more laid back. I guess it's easier to control my anger (more like acute irritation) because I have a third conscience now. And he says, in a very sleepy voice, "Dude...what the fuck, chill out." and then I go smoke some bud or something. Or go wish I was smoking some bud.

Although I am sometimes irritable due to being burnt out, that is negligible compared to the irritation I saved myself from thanks to weed.

 

I don't think it is the weed that has changed my outlook on life...but I do think that because of the weed I have been exposed to more people and points of view. Also, after you have smoked weed and you realize that it isn't as bad as the propaganda makes it seem, you may then to question other forms of authority.

I think that marijuana doesn't change that way you think in relation to the buzz you call getting high, but you do become more receptive to learning through experience rather than trusting established info. U follow?

 

Oh yea definitely. I think smoking was the act of actually ignoring authority that allowed me to reach the next level of mental maturity. I'd always been very inquisitive and distrustful of power, but I had no desire to break any rules, so my conflicts with authority remained imaginary until I smoked some weed. That's when I realized they're even more full of shit than I thought, and I'm more self reliant for it.

 

meh, im more relaxed, i can get through the week better now than i could before, and i enjoy coffee more

 

a year ago my friend asked me if i would do weed, i said no, and he asked not even in college and i said no, because i guess that propaganda shit made me think of it as really bad. but after some more exposure from some guys talkin about it and media(Harold and Kumar) , my friend from church says he has weed and gonna get high. so i think whatever ill just try. now i have smoked maybe 10 times total, it makes me wonder other bullshit the government pulls off on us. i have to say im more open to things and more questioning towards authority

 

I definitly agree, it has made me realize the world is full of lies and bull shit. Everything is built on corruption.

 

I think because most of the weed smoking population is young (teenagers 16-20) they are already going through changes, shaping their personalities and become more refined individuals; so it is difficult to tell how exactly it changes the way you think.

But overall, having the experiences of altering your perception with drugs will be imprinted in your character forever.

 

it has made me notice the beauty of nature alot more. before i started smoking a sunny day would just be normal, but one day i got high and looked up and realized how awesome the green leaves of trees look when in front of the blue sky. now i always marvel at the beauty of things

 

Dude, that was deep...and beautiful.
And if did very much the same to me. I see things differently, and often think "what if". My mother says I take up for ppl more than I use to, I just try to see things the way they do.
What if?
