Can someone tell me what's so good about weed?

[jaydot]

Not trolling, just genuinely want to know. I've smoked it and all it does is make me paranoid and mongs me out. Why would you inflict that on yourself?

[Genevieve]

I think it relaxes people. Which is the exact reason I don't like it. It pacifies me so much. So non-stimulating, meh.

[jaydot]

Yeah granted it relaxes people, but you lose your faculties. Depends if you smoke it in moderation, but no one does,

[karmacazee]

Feels good man

[karmacazee]

And it makes you better at computer games, obviously.

[ezza]

yeah i hate it 99% of the time, makes people become shit too lol

its good if your drunk as fuck tho and smoke one before bed, just feel like your falling through space for abit and it goes well with most uppers and trips

on its own tho i dont get it at all, makes me feel so bad lol kinda like the flu, but with added mental weirdness. i dont get paranoid as such, but im just well aware of how shit i feel and then its just the feeling of getting worse and then talking myself back to feeling kind of okay again. and that normally repeats for an hour or two

Among other things it cures boredom, which is bad as boredom is needed to motivate you to do things.

Some of this may have to do with the fact that y'all are physically younger and still developing/growing somewhat: when I was a teenager I really didn't like it at all, used to rant about "stupid hippies" and "just give me a real drug" blah blah blah...

The effects for me now include:

~ Wherever you are, that's the place to be (which can clearly be both good & bad)
~ A sense of a 'force field' preventing bullshit and negative stuff from other people from coming in
~ Increased perception of subtle variations in time/timing/flow
~ Increased objectivity and compassion (paradoxical, I know)
~ Most of all, a profound sense of appreciation for life.

I am a medical user as well, with cannabis replacing medical heroin (dilaudid) for pain control. The effects are not the same - opiates turn off all feeling, so you don't feel the pain but you don't feel much else either. Cannabis doesn't deal directly with the pain so much as my attitude toward the pain, which is hard for some folks to understand, but it really really helps. A lot. A lot a lot.

[m8son666]

Yeah they were all effects i felt and enjoyed from weed at the beginning but once i got a tolerance and started smoking everyday it just became shit and made me paranoid as fook, but for some reason i still smoked it everyday for years lol. I'm sure i would enjoy it now if i got stoned but i also think i wouldn't be able to stop myself from becoming a massive stoner again so i refrain loool

because it doesn't make me paranoid or mong me out, i guess I am lucky in that I never really get paranoia from it though because it does seem to affect a rather huge amount of the people who use it regularly.

I smoke once a week at the most really, so it is possible to smoke it in moderation

Come off it it mongs the vast majority of people out,

[kaili]

ye i think once you use it too much you start getting the paras. i get para when i smoke now almost all the time its kinda annoying. i can deal w/ it and i still have a good laugh with people but the more u do it i think the worse it gets. i prefer smoking alone now tbh, really helps me make music, and makes doing fuck all a lot more fun.
overal moral of the story dont overdo it just with any drug, if u smoke every day it'll more than likely fuck u up even if it doesnt at first

EDIT: another thing id like to add is that these days weed is just grown way stronger than necessary, too much sativa/THC, especially in england. with some average strength INDICA hash/weed i barely have any problems as long i dont toke 5ft long spliffs of the stuff

Because now you have a dealer like the rappers and are entitled to put up a Bob Marley poster on the back of your bedroom door. #420blaze

yes that's what I just said (or are you trying to say something else?)

didn't see your edit.

thats a blatant lie lol. I like the idea of smoking and playing games, but even normal driving around in games feels frustrating and like it goes too fast when I'm high.

[m8son666]

i remember when i used to play cod high i swear some rounds i would die like 20 times and not kill anyone haha

fair play, I totally understand the paranoia thing, I think i've had it 1 time before years ago and I think it was actually more due to getting a crazy baccy rush out of nowhere (golden virginia is fucking deadly) and my heart going crazy from it and I was like "fuck this"

But i've smoked hundreds and hundreds of bad boys since then and never had anything remotely similar. The only real thing that is affecting me is my actual physical health, so I really need to start doing some exercise. Dread to think of what my lungs look like
