what does Marijuana mean to you?

I would like to know what weed means to all you potheads. I Got caught by my parents, and they just do not understand what it is to me, its more than just getting high.

to me weed is definetly a social thing, getting together with your best friends, toking, relaxing and talking. I relax with this on my own, think about life. It has brought me way closer to all my friends. I love weed, and I will always smoke it, even if I have to wait till I move out.

 

Weed is just the opposite for me. I use weed to help me chill out when i need to, not an escape route, just a tool to relax, zone out, and get fucked up. I never blaze with anyone because im just a boring kid to smoke with, because i dont make myself to look like a fool when i get fucked up.

 

You dont have to look like a fool to be fun to be with ^^
Dunno, weed is something i smoke.

 

Weed is to my mind as a key is to a door. This could have something to do with the history of my drug use, and smoking massive quantities of weed while on drugs such as ecstasy and acid.
It brings a whole new perspective to life. It is a mirror to my thoughts and feelings. It helps me to socialise with friends as well as finding comfort alone with tunes. When I toke up alone and think about the World and things going on, the thought processes are literally endless.
I also love the high itself. The weed high to me can be best desribed as 'steady euphoria'. The floaty feeling of happiness, or the intense tickling that hits my brain (depending on the strain and type of smoke) before I get into complex trails of thought is heaven to me.

But if I had to highlight a singular thing that weed means to me, it is self control.

 

Nice. That was a very good line. I'd agree with that

 

It represents freedom and individuality to me.

And if it wasn't for weed, I never would have met Kari, so in that sense, it means everything to me.

 

weed is meditation. clears you mind. brings people together.

 

Actually, I meditate too.
It's much easier to meditate when I'm not stoned than when I am.
There's always things in my mind when I'm stoned. Thinks I'd normally overlook are magnified, and it's not always easy to maintain a singular trail of thought.
Plus, you can't really benefit from stoned meditation. Define meditation, and work out why.

 

medicine to help relieve pain, without it I would be in so much physical pain(documented and dr prescribed, not self prescribed)

 

It's a way of life, something i enjoy doing and no one else could ever tell me is wrong, or bad for me, because I know it isn't. I Love relaxing and smoking alone, I hate to toke with my friends because the ones I do act like idiots, or my other friends don't talk at all and the "moment" becomes very dull, or we end up sitting around.


So weed, to me is relaxing from the real world, alittle time for myself to look at the world and me.

 

Marijuana... well its life... not like "without marijuana i'd die" life... i mean the lifestyle.. views... music... people.. culture.. freedom..

 

I think of it as a gift for us to use to relieve our minds from the constant bullshit we have to put up with everyday. I think without pot Id either be an alcaholic, on court for assault charges, or both.

 

I think of Marijuana as a plant which is a gift of nature. When we smoke it it brings us to a higher condition. We can think and act much better. It opens a new state of mind and it helps us to understand everything better. I can concentrate on every sense better. I ll never stop smoking it.

 

A way to keep the innocence of childhood. When you grow up, you get exposed to alot of bullshit, and you loose the magical feelings that you had when you were a child, with weed, they never die.

 

It's funny you say that.
I've often felt that sometimes, getting stoned really can unlock the child in me in ways you are talking about.

 

Yea me too, I envision my self as a cute little kid that just loves everything when high while I'm wandering through my mind.

Weed to me allows me too wander through a fantasy world of thought and creativity along with allolwing me to bond with people better and on a more telepathic level it seems.

 

so true..in my mind neverland exists..

 

weed to me is like the thing you and your girlfriend can do together without arguing and just a rush you know something to get your mind working in differnt ways

 

Weed to me is also pretty much a ritual for me, it involves me always thinking about everything, reflecting, painting, writing songs....but my favorite times are going to the cafe down the street from my flat, and meeting a good friend there and smoking up in the sunroom section of the cafe and just sitting, chilling and drinking hot chocolate or something, and playing with the wax and candles, and most importantly talking, and joking around, and just unwinding and also showing the little child that is still, and always will be, in me.

And of course, like everyone, I just love the feeling of the buzz kicking in, the sometimes un stoppable laughter, or ridiculous statements that SOUND wise when youre saying them, but immediately afterwards you realize how RETARDED you just sounded....

I just think that weed balanced with "life" whatever that means to you personally, is perfeclty heatlthy, and its so satisfying to be sitting down around a small table with a candle lit and incense, and good music, with friends, and passing the bowl, and talking and all, especially after a "stressful" day or a looooooong week.

 

I love it for the social factor as well, just hangin out with friends smokin, relaxing, talking, it's great.

Me too, I smoke occasionally on my own, just sit around my house listen to music, watch T.V., or if I'm in a thinking about my life mood I lay in bed and just think, or listen to music.

I agree, I will not stop smoking unless it becomes something I can't enjoy for whatever reason. I plan to smoke the rest of my life, so long as I enjoy it.

Good thread by the way ! :hurray:

Interesting responses everyone!
