Around here, I've come across many drugs. I've never done any except ex which was truely amazing and i love the drug but that's besides the point. Most of my friends smoke or have smoked and I'm curious to know why, and I'm trying to learn more about the drug before I use it myself. They all give the same reason that you just have to try it to understand, and I know reading online about the drug will only give me the school taught lessons- weed is bad- but assuming most of you have tried it, or have done research on it, I was wondering why people choose the drug- it seems to be an extremely poplular one around here-, Also what effects it has on your body and mind and if there's any effects the day after- I've seen people high and it doesnt appease me to be in that relaxed state of mind but mabey I'm wrong mabey theres more a mental thing there. But yeah that should be a good starter on research of weed. Love-Your Sweet One
i think people smoke weed because its a great high, with minimal negative effects. its a fun drug. " POSITIVE mood lift relaxation, stress reduction creative, philosophical or deep thinking : ideas flow more easily increased appreciation of music. More aware of, deeper connection to music. increased awareness of senses. (eating, drinking, smell) change in experience of muscle fatigue. Pleasant body feel. Increase in body/mind connection. pain relief (headaches, cramps) reduced nausea, increased appetite (used medically for this) NEUTRAL general change in consciousness (as with many psychoactives) increased appetite, snacky-ness slowness (slow driving, talking) tiredness blood shot eyes (more common with certain varieties of cannabis and inexperienced users) mouth dryness, sticky-mouth (varies with strain) interrupts linear memory. Difficulty following a train of thought. cheek, jaw, facial tension / numbness (less commonly reported) racing thoughts (especially at high doses) NEGATIVE nausea, especially in combination with alcohol, some pharmaceuticals, or other psychoactives coughing, asthma, upper respiratory problems difficulty with short term memory during effects and during periods of frequent use racing heart, agitation, feeling tense mild to severe anxiety panic attacks in sensitive users or with very high doses (oral use increases risk of getting too much) headaches dizziness, confusion paranoid & anxious thoughts more frequent possible psychological dependence on cannabis clumsiness, loss of coordination at high doses can precipitate or exacerbate latent or existing mental disorders< WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS mild to moderate, non life-threatening withdrawal symptoms occur after daily use in some users. These may last for 1-6 weeks after cessation of use and can include anxiety, anhedonia (reduced experience of pleasure), headaches, general unease/discomfort, difficulty sleeping, and a desire to smoke pot. Severity of symptoms is related to frequency of use and individual sensitivity. slight loss of appetite finding non-stoned life a bit dull, increased boredom" -erowid.com its a good site, check it out.
I hardly use weed these days, only on rare occasions. I used it pretty heavily back in the day and ended up feeling like I was living under a cloud- seperated from my intuition and the roots of my greater self. I use psychedelics on occasion these days (mushrooms, LSA, mescaline). I find that weed just lowers my consciousness. Peace and good luck, MKC
I think one of the biggest reasons people enjoy it so much is because it's very worry free. There are so little side effects that people can feel free to indulge as much as you want without having to worry about over dosing or having a bad trip(although it has happened, but very very rare). You can also judge dosages easier, just smoke till you feel your done. People feel safe knowing how the high will be, when they consider the quality of marijuana they are smoking and how much they smoke. Also, I second erowid.org
Alrite thanks for the help- Yeah I've read on that one site my boyfriend is in love with it and makes me read on drugs before thinking about trying- By the way I'm not 24- I dont want people to be like what the heck she's 24 and doesn't know anything about this drug- But besides that have any of you tried ex and if you have compare the two drugs, cause I can relate to ex on a very high level, thanks again much love
I use bud to enhance the activites I already enjoy; and to make some of the tedious ones a bit more fun. Mowing the lawn is so much easier when your high, it's like a real-life videogame. Running is fun and feels great (make sure you have water though ), and you can run farther and longer than when your sober (in my experience). Food is just so awesome while your high... nothing like regaining lost weight (in my case, I only weigh 115 and am 5'10") after a sickness like Mono.
you can also run faster form my experience too i had forgotten that thats why weed is so great.. wihtout it, life can get so boring. ill assume ex is extacy? i havnt tried that, but from waht ive heard, id say theyre similar in that they pull out emotions, and make sensations more intense, but yeah dont take my word for it jsut try it, you cant regret trying weed unless u love it too much and dont stop lol.
A man once said (no really, I don't remember the guys name though...) "Marijuana doesn't alter one's behavior; instead, it seems that it emphasizes it." I find this to be very true on many different accounts.
