WEED: THC As My Sober State

not a good thing to rely on pot to live a day. Its easy to kick pot, just have to be ready. caution though, many say Canadian and some hydro will have the ability to long term affects. there is also the lung factor, emphysema and being unfit. I am a muso, I cant play better when stoned, I think i do. I have stopped for a few months, don't miss a thing, in particular, I had to because I need to focus to get through this very hard time in my life, pot just sedates me. If you can write what you have written, then you are good enough to know what to do. Ps, treat it like spirits, like whisky, if a person drinks it daily, then that person is pretty much in trouble. Also, I have found a pain cycle, I go down, get depressed and really mad, like at the separation of my wife. I use to smoke into sedation, then I just accepted the pain on my own, sometimes complaining but think did not help, eventually it would pass, it could be days, but my body seemed to say, enough is enough on its own and bring me back to a more happy level, all by itself! I use to think pot was an escape, but as I have found, and Marley even says, "you cant run away from yourself". So allow yourself to get depressed and expect your body to come out of it by itself. Be careful with Hydro, it can hurt the body, watch Ip Man and consider Wing Chun. Treat pot like strong liquor. Think of the children who will need you to play games with them, how awful if you are not able to have a full life because of self gluttony. My check is in the mail.

Hey man.
You are not the maladjusted person. (unlike this tool above me would have you believe.) If you are unholy depressed by this terrible world around you. Its normal. People aren't meant to live in massive collectives. Its annoying and people are stupid.

Not to mention people have been using and smoking weed for literally thousands of years. There are no harmful effects aside from the inhalation of carbon. ( and well we all die, wouldnt you rather die high?)

Forget that guy, and forget me. If it gets you through this horrible inbred corporate landscape on a daily basis, and you can afford it. UMMMM do it.

WORD

Nah dude, those two people above me are dumb, don't listen to that shit. You never felt like that your first 14 years without herb, so don't let it control you like that. Your not more outgoing because of herb, you just choose to be. Take control of yourself, your actions, and your life, because if you sit there and think oh im grumpy without my weed- you probably will be.

The second comment, that guy sounds like the existential philosopher who hasnt found an answer to his problems. Hell yeah the world is depressing, and full of a bunch of stupid fuck nuts, and stupid senseless wars, senseless deaths, senseless births, and yeah we're all going to die anyway- but hell why dont you just cap yourself in the head right now then? In the whole scheme of things, our world, what matters right now, and the human race doesn't mean shit. It's all quite pointless and meaningless. But if you just enjoy the meaningless situations and maximize your time enjoying the fact that you even exist in the first place, it's all pretty nice. I can get stoked for an entire day just because i walked outside to get the paper and it was really warm out and felt nice.
I kinda ranted, but to sum it up, enjoy your life in general, not because certain things (weed) are present or missing. If you can be a better person with it you can be that same person without it- take a break for a month or two and prove it to yourself. I've been blazing as long as you and know people who have had similar problems, its all in your head, just take some control.

and to his last sentence, yeah you can think like that.
Or you can just learn to get through this corporate wasteland life yourself, and let marijuana grace you with its divine prescence along the way, whichever sounds nicer.
Go take some halucinogens and think about it :]

know exactly how you feel man i had to stop for many reasons and i miss it everyday pot made me feel ok with myself i mean i could have gotten anti-depresssants and stuff but i prefered pot to pills and now i feel the same as i did before i stared smoking and it sucks i have alot to be happy about but to me its not the drug and the high it was the way i felt about life and myself when i smoked enjoy it while you can man peace

Well, I've smoked for more than 3 decades & I have to say my opinion falls somewhere in the middle.

Here's what I would say:

Just understand that you can become addicted to anything. Anything that gets those endorphins going, from food to alcohol to violence to sex to legal drugs to illegal drugs, can get an addiction going. Weed is no different. If you can't live without it, you're an addict.

I've tried alcohol of course -- didn't become addicted. Tried cocaine -- left it behind easily. Tried weed -- been smoking for 30 years. It just depends on the person.

And just like other drugs, weed can become a crutch. It can help you "hide away" instead of solving your problems, including the boredom of living and the smallness and stupidity of people around you. If life is boring and people are stupid, maybe changing locations and occupation will work; that's definitely more productive than weed.

...Which brings me to another point -- weed won't be fun forever (unless you find a girlfriend who's a pothead too. That can extend the fun, but those are rare...) So since weed won't be fun forever, it's better to skip the long-term dependency and solve your problems as soon as you can (leaving the drugs behind).

Also keep in mind that since weed is illegal (thus unregulated) it can be adulterated. You can't trust it all. If you plan to continue smoking for a lifetime, learn to grow your own. Plus drug dealers (including weed dealers) are all assholes--if they even *found* a bunch of weed on the street you can bet they would package it up and sell it to you, not knowing what's in it or where it came from.

Now that I've gone through the negatives, I have to say: weed has it's good side. It can make you more insightful, more patient, more gregarious, etc. Weed is special and though I think about quitting, I don't feel comfortable not having a supply on hand. It's now a part of who I am. It provides me with "moments of clarity". It's a "reset button" for my outlook.

All in all I'd say if you can live without it, live without it. If you can't live without it, try to control it. If you can't control it, hit up Marijuana Anonymous or some other 12 step program.

btw, I'm physically fit and have been gainfully employed for all of my adult life. In spite of being a pothead, I'm doing better than the average guy my age.

Anyway, you can't believe the stupid stiffs who think weed is like crack, but then give a pass to cigarettes, alcohol, prozac, viagra, all those legal drugs the govt had to recall, etc. Nor can you follow those who think weed is the end-all and be-all, like it's all good...

It really should be legal & taxed. If it were, people would be able to see its problems and benefits more clearly, like alcohol. Weed addiction wouldn't be as underground and murky. Addicts vs casual users would be more clearly defined...
