What is the allure of smoking weed?

I have wondered what it is about weed that people who smoke it love. I have heard it is supposed to give a calm feeling and helps people to see things differently. Any weed smokers in here? If so how does it make you feel when your high? Does it make you view things differently? Can it change people? After a while of smoking it do you have to smoke more to get that "high" sensation?

Im just wondering wheather it is worth trying or not. What would be cool is to have a nice girl to just kick it with and smoke it.

Lol whats that supposed to mean?

 

i used to love smoking weed. now even a few puffs on a spliff send me into a paranoid headspin/anxiety attack with sometimes causes a panic attack but always leaves me praying for unconsciousness. without fail.

so you could say it does make me see things differently

but i'm pretty unique in this regard, i understand, i've never met anyone who experiences the same thing, at least with such consistency.

i used to love weed, chills you out, makes food taste better makes stupid shit funnier. its cheap and tasty, if you vape or cook it it doesn't even give you cancer. for most people its a whole lot of awesome.

I'd recommend it, as things go. but i'll never touch it again, myself.

 

I occasionaly smoke it at partys, always makes me nice and mellow after a drink.
but thats all I see.
I've tried it when I was sober and I really didn't like it.

 

Can you pm me? Ive pusted 20 times and i still cant pm. Id like to see if others can post to me.

 

Done!

 

There is no evidence that smoking it gives you cancer either. But there is evidence to suggest it can signal cancer cells to die in the human body. Of course smoking anything is not the best for your health, it's best to vaporize.

 

The allure of smoking weed for me is it enhances music, video games, sometimes reading and provides a moderate euphoria, it allows for contemplation of concepts in a different light or new perspectives. Food tastes amazing on it and sometimes (used to be more consistent) it provides a peaceful sense of relaxation and humor in things.

It's not as impairing as alcohol, weed does affect reaction time and short term memory but motor coordination remains intact and it doesn't create a beligerent disinhibtion.

 

i'm going to go out on a limb here and second the :bobby:

 

"Any weed smokers in here" :rofl:

nah this is a marijuana forum i dont think there will be any pot smokers in here man

 

Orignally this was not posted in this forum. This post has been moved here.

 

Well alright than. I used to smoke weed because it would help me sleep really good and it was fun to smoke than go hiking or something with friends. Just kind of amplified the beauty of nature and made stuff more funny.

well alright than!

 

i've seen studies which establish links and ones which find no causal effect, so as afar as i'm concerned the juries still out. furthermore, i've also seen studies which suggest that pure THC when injected into lab rats slow the growth of tumors (while making others grow quicker) and can kill older cells being touted by pro-marijuana lobbyists as "SMOKING WEED CURES CANCER, ITS OFFICIAL" even when said studies go out of their way to point out that this is demonstrably not the case, which just further muddies the issue.

either way, inhaling carbon monoxide is not good for you, tar from a joint is just as carcinogenic as tar from a cigarette (although a water bong can filter a good deal of that) and given that the act of smoking weed means that you hold it in your lungs for longer, a joint'll do WAY more damage to your lungs than a cigarette will. so, vape it :2thumbsup:

 

It's magical! It really is! It has a million in one uses and adds a great factor to life. I find it is a lifestyle that fits many life's and cultures so well that it brings people together.

The experience is so euphoric and simple it adds dreams to your waking life. You don't feel as impaired on it as you do with almost any drug, have you ever experienced a tobacco buzz? It's not too far off from that lightheaded feeling, but your whole spirit is lively. I can't stop smiling while high because I'm always having a great time!

Weed doesn't cause cancer, smoking is bad, and when your holding in a hit for a long time, your letting large amounts of tar and carbon monoxide that is bad for you, but even still you can recover from any health detriments with a long enough break.

Music is a great enhancement to experience!

 

For my health, anxiety, state of mind, well being, and quality of life.

It changes my field of vision, gives CEV's, unique thoughts, different perceiving of the world, time and speed. Makes me child-like happy and lets me enjoy the world to its finest.

I also get synesthesia quite often. I can taste the colors or sweet taste makes me happy. I feel skin differently. Music is, oh god, just the best thing possibile, either chill or feel that bass go through your body.

Drinking with it makes me feel drowsy, 'heavy' and shitty in general. Just like drinking without smoking. But if there is not much weed left it is good way to strenghten the trip.

Smoking cigarettes is also unique and awesome when high.


I've been doing psychedelics before my first time with weed so I probably will get different effects than other people.

Some say they might increase marijuanas psychedelic potential.

And I'm on meds currently, so also that...
