the one thing that scares me about pot

Yea Im just gna be like "yea, mhmm, ok" so I can get out of there asap. I'm also there for depression though so I gta act happy lol.

Since I'm getting tested there I quit pot till my court date on 4/21 (yea sucks doesn't it) so it'll look good at court. But then after that ...

Hopefully they won't win me over. I gotta stand strong!

 

Dude, I've been to rehab twice. Theres always douche bags like that there, who've been brainwashed and think weed ruined their life. Why do people drink alcohol? It really doesn't do anything for them, yet so many people drink. I've never met a pot head that is a sterotypical slacker, maybe slackers are just more likely to smoke pot. Theres also a chance, especially if he said that in the group, that hes faking it. I call that faking it till you make it (purpossley ripped off a stupid AA concept). The first time I went to rehab, I blew people off at first, but then I realized it was in my best interest to fake it. The second time I had to go to inpatient which was in inbred hillbillyland kentucky, and since it was court related, the rehab could request I stay longer (than 28 days) so I faked the fuck out that from the start. I believe this might be a classic stoned rant.

 

Lmao, I'm going there voluntarily do I still have to fake it to end the program? Or better question, should I fake it either way? And I said the same thing about alchohol and the lady was like "oh I don't think that should be legal either"

Also the guy that told me it leads to nothing hasn't been a pot smoker (he says cause it made him paranoid) he was just talking about his friends.

 

I take offense to that. Haha

 

its one's mindset. you can do anything you set your mind to. i have been amazed what i have done not eating for days, or being sleepless and making rational decisions in fucked up circumstances. or just being fucking up and something happens.

if you truly want something and put your mind to it you'll have a damn good chance to get it.

some people get high and dont do a whole lot. some people get high and do there daily work. pick one.

 

Richard Branston
Bill clinton
Barack Obama
Bill Hicks
Jonny Depp
etc etc etc.........
yes very unsucsefull and unmotivated pizza delivery people

oh yeah and not forgeting almost every piece of music that has been written most likely under the influence

They lie about marijuana. Tell you pot-smoking makes you unmotivated. Lie! When you're high, you can do everything you normally do, just as well. You just realize that it's not worth the fucking effort. There is a difference.”

If you don't think drugs have done good things for us, then take all of your records, tapes and CD's and burn them.” Bill Hicks

 

Erm, whoever told you that potsmoking automatically guarantees you a life of no success must be misinformed/brainwashed from rehab or something. If the Michael Phelps ordeal showed anything, then it showed that you can smoke pot and be successful- that they aren't opposites.

However, yes, I think pot can take away from people's ability to achieve their full potential, more specifcally those who aren't as motivated and self-driven and passionate about their goals, etc. So you gotta balance it and make it what suits you best.

 

Well some people can't do everything as well. I fucked up a paper while high once for example. Maybe I wouldve done the same thing if I hadn't been but I doubt it. U get the point.

And I understand the second sentence, it's just hard to explain to non pot smokers. But somethings are worth the effort

 

Also my moms like ur immature cause u smoke weed. U say u wanna be an adult but u make decisions like a kid (smoking). So I was like "so the thousands of other people who some are even older then u and smoke weed are immature kids?" and she said yes lol

 

Pot fucked me up because it can make you lack motivation, if you can't control that space between motivation and pot then you're FUCKED. Self control, plus if you set your mind to it, you can do anything no matter the circumstances.

 

i don't feel non-motivated anymore from smoking. the only problems i have with pot are paranoia, but within this i've had a shitload of motivation to look at the world around me and begin to see through the veil. i would say pot has given me a huge benefit in my life. it just tells me to look the fuck around and wake the fuck up. seriously.

it's absolutely insane how much i've realized i have a tainted view of the world. and with marijuana i push the illusion all the way till i'm scared and then i see whats not true. it's just crazy how much people can so easily miss the beauty that is ALL around them ALL the time.

 

Well, I really meant just the people that worked at the rehab, they were the stereotypical red neck. Im actually not that far from the place, its was in louisvill and im in cincy. and trust me dude, theres plently of rednecks in my family tree. Actually, I dont have a family tree, I have a family marijuana plant.

 

I live about 40 miles away from Cincinnati dude.

 

great post. Yeah i think the paranoia from weed is just our brain's way forcing us to confront our fears instead of locking them away. Confronting our fears and dealing with them can be very healthy and life improving. The only danger is that we accept our fears and intergrate them into our lives. Marijuana should be used with great care only in times when we are emotionally stable so we can logically sort out our problems and not accept them. It takes a strong will but marijuana has made a lot of people stronger from the experience and they've gone on to be very successful. And there is the boost to creativity while on it as well.

 

I'm curious...what industry is this that has the highest % of ppl who smoke/drink?

 

So I guess Barrack Obama, Micheal Phelps, Seth Rogan, Drew Berrymore, and Bill Maher (just to name a few) haven't done anything with their lives.

 

I have smoked for almost 10 yrs and i have a good IT job, a wife, and a house. I am by no means a rich man but i have been out of college for a few yrs and i think we are doing alright, we have out little piece of the American Dream.

 

my guess would be liberal arts ie music, journalism, etc

 

Yea buy Barack didn't smoke pot regularly did he?

 

I would love to be a pizza delivery guy...
