The Philosophy of Weed
52% Normal
21 Comments

To start off, I must say that i thoroughly enjoy smoking the reefer.
Now that we are acquainted, here is my deal. Smoking weed just makes life better. It brightens my day up, relaxes me when I want to, makes me think in ways that I wouldn't if I were sober, makes me more active, the list goes on.
Now, when I am sober I always feel like I am not nearly as creative with my thoughts and ideas, which makes me think that weed actually makes me smarter...

What do you think?
Do you think it's normal?

You are just kidding yourself. Weed doesn't make you smarter. It makes you satisfied with less.
What's more, your activity is helping to finance some pretty horrible criminal activity, world-wide.

Youve obviously been smoking for quite some time now. Your sober feelings are because you have smoked weed for a long time and you become used to functioning while high, in the absence of weed your body becomes confused and it doesnt know how to function without the substance. This is very common with potheads just give it some time and youll will get use to it.

Lol. How long have you been smoking?

I'm sure that there are pot heads everywhere, but in Hawaii (where I am from) there are the loads. Or maybe it%%u2019s because I know a lot. Hah.

Anyway, I hope you realize that weed makes you stupid. It doesn't help your brain. I get where you are coming from about the whole "makes you more creative than when you are sober", but please minimize your Pakalolo intake. Oh, and try to enjoy life anyway without the Reffer.

All these guys are assholes so don't listen to them, I've been smoking weed for about 2 years now, and there is nothing wrong with it.

It merely changes your perspective of everything, giving the illusion of making you smarter, but you are actually just viewing things in a different light.

So yeah fuck you guys.

It makes me feel heavy phsyically and emotionally but othertimes I feel enlightened.
Everything seems more intense high but actually I know it is a interesting peception because no one can understand what the hell you are trying to communicate with them. It makes your relationships different as well because you start to see cracks in your character or you show your inner thoughts! So being around certain types of people when you are showing experiencing deep thougths/spaced thoughts is also a helpful dynamic to understand.

You people are silly. I've been smoking regularly for six years, and I'm certainly not any smarter, but I'm not a big paranoid basket case either. If I need to get something accomplished, I don't get high. If I want to get high, I do. I have a 3.5 college undergrad GPA -- I am not a loser. But to think that weed makes you smarter? No freaking way. What it does do is allow you to set aside some of your hangups, even those you don't know you have, and let your creativity flow without constantly judging yourself.

Oh, and @ Jim_Pfoss, thinking that marijuana is financing global crime is stupid. Most of the stuff you buy in the US was grown here, unless you're buying shitty Mexican shit, in which case -- well, Mexico isn't really known for its weed-based crime rate. Think cocaine, you know?

yo, 2 years is not a long time to have been smoking weed. i smoked weed all through high school and still do in my 3rd year of college...i mean, i smoke literally every day and its the first thing i do when i wake up. i am doing really shitty in school, get really depressed alot, etc. etc. don't get me wrong, i know that its not pot that is causing it but my own mental hang ups, but make sure you know how weed affects you before you make it a habit. it may not be physically addicting, but it is for sure habit forming.

Weed is for people who are too lazy to exercise perseverance and to hide their personality flaws.. Did I mention it's nonhealthy and illegal?

It affects everyone differently at different times of their lives and when they're in different states of mind. It used to make me feel blissful and creative. Then it started making me feel paranoid. And now it's making me feel creative again. And this is over the course of 7 or so years.

Just be aware of what kind of affect is it having on you. Sometimes sober is better for certain things, and other times being high can help. The only way to figure out which works best for you is through experience. Hell, even the KIND of weed can change your experience greatly.

i found that while i was smoking weed every night my grades in school actually went up...my English teacher even wrote home to my parents to congratulate me on my recent achievements..

no one knows i smoke weed...and my teachers described it thus: "its like something's suddenly just clicked and now he just...gets it."

maybe it doesn't make you smarter, but it certainly changed my way of thinking...

I suppose I had never had enough experience with it but let me ask you if this sounds at all smart or creative: 5 stoned kids listening to a cd skipping for 45 min straight trying to find all the things it sounds like the singer could be saying...
