How has weed affected your life?

I was just watching some ridiculous anti drug advertisement about how marijuana causes kids to lose interest in school. I know that I couldn't go to school high, I wouldn't learn anything. But I wondered, now answer truthfully, has anyone out there had negative affects from marijuana. Anyone out there really screwed up a situation or an opportunity because of rocking the ganj? Or do you know any stoners that really fucked up school or work because of weed? I mean, do you know someone that smokes all the time when he is supposed to be in class or at work. Or do you know someone whose behavior has changed significantly since they began experimenting with the ganja. This is the basis for the argument that the go'ment assholes give for making the green illegal. I just want to know how bad it really affects people.

Obviously when someone smokes marijuana, this doesn't hurt the people around them. Unlike crackheads, who steal to finance their habits, or drunks who drive and kill other people, potheads don't really hurt other people. And you know this, MAN (Chapelle) But I wonder how marijuana has affected the socio-economic standing of its users.

Answer truthfully. I'm no cop, and even if I was, how would I find you.

 

marijuana ruined my marraige.

where's joker when you need him

 

drugs and alcohol have ruined my life.

 

If anything, weed has made me want to learn more, and generally be more productive with my life.

 

weed has made me have a much clearer, much more balanced perspective on most issues in my life.

 

I've browsed through the forums quite a bit, but I never specifically searched for this kind of thread. I must have missed it in my browsing. But I will definately search now.

Thanks

 

I've seen stoners lose interest in school and lose all motivation, they really screwed their exams and stuff by not showing up or not caring if they srewed it up. It's always hard to say to which extend this is caused by marihuana, but I'm sure it added to it.
As for me, my skin turned green and once in awhile smoke's coming out of my ears..

 

i experienced unfiltered reality on weed, some call it god.

 

I found a toonie in my pocket yesterday.

 

Wonderfully disturbing, its such a sweet sensation that you canot give up ever

 

I have smoked for about 8-9 yrs and i think weed has opened me up to so many things and allowed me to meet so many cool people. I used to burn all day and i had to be hight o do anything, now i smoke a few evenings a week. The perspectives weed has opened up to me i carry and apply to everyday life. Basically i am high on life most of the day which i dont think was possible before. That probably makes no sense lol.

 

I know a few stoners who fucked up in school, but I think they were heading that way before they started smoking weed.

I know some people who can learn better after having smoked weed, and it sometimes helped me in a few subjects- but I avoided smoking it in school.

 

sometimes it makes me lazy...but i'm a pretty lazy person by default, so who's to say? either way, the government can eat a dick because it affects everyone differently, and for me personally, it has helped my mood disorders quite a bit, and has introduced me to a lot of cool people who i may not have been exposed to had i not started smoking.
