your ambitions as a stoner

who says stoners lose their ambitions? Not every cannabis user is a loser who works at burger king and smokes their days away on the couch. What are your goals in life and how will your cannabis use affect them?

For instance:

I'm earning my master's degree in psychology and english and *hopefully* I will be living in Austin, Tx in five years and involved in some sort of counseling, maybe with the deaf (I know ASL) or with adults/families or children with disorders. Possibly for a private school or for some sort of public organization. I also plan on being active in the political community; working towards cannabis decriminalization among other things wrong with our government... Cannabis shouldn't be a problem with my career. If I have to, I'll stop using daily so that I can pass a piss test, but it won't be a problem. I'll probably be a lifetime smoker.

Hell, I might even have smoke-out counseling sessions.(that's a joke)

I may even work on publishing something. Maybe short stories or something. I could write about something cannabis related, but I doubt it.

any other ambitious stoners?

 

I want to be a photographer.

 

well i guess if you're freelance, cannabis use shouldn't be a prob...

 

Freelance photography is hard from what I've heard. I like to take pictures of pretty things and I don't know how I'll ever get a job but it'll pay off someday I hope

 

One of my dear friends who I adore is a stoner.....he is a brilliant man....highly intelligent and very musical...

he works at a donut joint....isnt that a waste of talent??????

He could be anything...but he says he finds it hard to get himself together

Evenso, I love him loads....

 

hoping to go into music or computer programming.

music i would pretty much just be surrounding myself in the music 'world' whereas with computers would be a lot more flexible... really not sure which one i'm going to choose yet...

 

is his lack of motivation due to his use?

to bakedgoods: I think that's awesome. Good luck with that, more stoners should go into the 'art' fields.

 

i want to live away from society, and farm. i want to teach others to develop farms and farming skills.... only organic farming.

 

natural philosophy.....good question?

maybe it is....he says things like, when I didnt smoke and I used to go to the gym and stuff....

i dont know man....but it saddens me, he is a brilliant man, a poet, a musician, he has a brilliant mind...i love him!

shame...

 

bahshee: wow. that's crazy. I guess he's chosen his fate, then. I hate to see smart or talented people stuck in minimum wage jobs their whole lives for whatever reasons.

wonka: That's awesome. This year will be my first to grow my own garden, instead of just helping my parents with theirs. Im fookin excited lol. I've been reading up on organic farming/gardening.

 

Not so sure as what my major is going to be. I guess right now it's just to do good in school. I'm a freshman and I have a 3.5 GPA so I guess I'm doing alright. Besies that I just want to chill out and grow the best bud I can. I have a job but it's just a typical shitty job to pay for school.

 

Right now im working on my MBA and hope to open my own buisness. I want to open my own welding/custom fab shop out west. I love working on cars and making things from scratch.

But recently ive been helping some poeple i met at school get healthy. I used to be severly obese and now i am very healthy and look damn good if i say so myself. Since ive been there people stuggling with weight issues hold a place in my heart. I might chabnge my major, or double major in some type of physical therepy or personal training.

Im in a dangerouse place right now, in the middle. but ill figure it out.

oh and btw, since i started smoking more (to reduce stress of school/work balance) ive been going to the gym more and have puit on almost 10lbs of lean muscle. Im not contributing smoking to my success, but it hasnt hindered my progress or slowed me down (still got that 5:30ish mile too)

 

my ambition is just to be happy in life... as long as i'm happy with my job and i can afford to live.. thats all i ask.. its not laziness... its just simplicity... right now ambitions are getting a little higher.. me and the gf are looking at houses and talking about other future plans that make me wanna be ambitious... my main ambition in life though would be to own my own restaurant.. i love cooking but i would love to be able to run a place the way i think it should be run.. instead of dealing with the bullshit of places i've worked and are working at

 

^^ I've been thinking about post graduate too, a school I'm clse to has a good post-graduate program. It's hard to get into, but whatever gotta try right?

 

im currently a college student (wont tell where) and i work for the usps, i really dont like what im doing in school for a major, but its gonna pay great. i really want my band to take off (who knows mebe ill be famous) and i want to be a screenwriter too

 

good thread idea.
i just want to get good A-level results then go to university and make new friends and have a great time.

 

I just want to be happy and make a good life for the woman I love and my future children. I am thinking of going to college to be a pharmacy technician or a graphic artist......not sure which one.

 

^^ yeah to get all the xanax you body can handle huh? lol jk

 

I just want to make enough money so I can take a trip to Bat Country

 

im gonna become a highschool history teacher, not the boring kind, but the kool fun kind haha i plan on working in britain for a year soon, then coming back, doing three years of university and then off to newzealand for teachers college
