Did weed cause psychological damage to you?

You hit the nail right on the head. Some people it works as a motivatior, some it gets them couchlocked. For me, it just helps me to relax. If it won't help me in a given situation, I won't get stoned. It's that simple. I don't want to waste a high.

 

I agree and disagree. When I go into work sober....omg I HATE customers, I get in fights I dont like people, but when im high im so CHILL and just have fun with customers and mess with them. I just got congradulated by the owner for top customer service and was told I'm the strongest worker on the team. *clears throat*... mmmm I'd like to dedicate this award to Mary Jane, she has helped me on my journey and has given me light even through the darkest times.

 

weed has more of a positive effect on me than negative.

i love weed it makes me happy, takes away stresses and just relaxes me,
but on the other hand, i never know what i'm talking about, i'm burnt out, and i'm lazy as fuck haha

 

I think theres a lot of denial in this forum.. 9 people have said yes... 28 say no...

as for me.. i have to go with yes that there has been some things that have changed for the worse for me because of pot.. i do get ultra paranoid at times.. dumb the fuck out at times.. and i hear shit a lot of the time thats not there.. but im sure some of these side effects are also products of a combined use of drugs...

 

this is really interesting question. i think if you let yourself go, you get worse and it effects you badly. but if you keep your self up. It can be healing and good for everything. it's all in the mind my friend..

 

I don't know. I am extremely paranoid and anxious but that isn't CAUSED by marijuana. Pot obviously influenced and intensified these feelings at points of my life but no real *damage* that hadn't already existed.

 

no

 

pot is completely innocent. it's the things surrounded it is what makes it seem bad

 

hahahhahahahhahahahahahahha

 

No, smoking weed did not "psychologically damage" me. I don't blame pot for any of my problems. I blame myself, because at times during my life I have certainly abused it.

 

No, Earth and the persons within it have. If anything, Marijuana used to help my 'psychological' damage fade into the background.

 

This is so true. Great post, and I echo it completely. Pot did mess me up for a little while, but it was my fault. i was very paranoid, very anxious, very apathetic, and everything else... I'm sure tripping had a bit to do with it as well, but I think pot was the main factor. But, just as ganja_goo_ninja says, I was definitely abusing it *AND* neglecting my mental health while doing so. I was already borderline depressed/mildly bipolar, and I continued to abuse pot. I think abuse of almost anything can mess you up, pot included.

 

I just have poor memory.. otherwise, nope

 

Because it affects you negatively, it must affect everyone else that way too. Good reasoning. The poll question is too vague, but of course there can be downsides to doing weed, just like eating too much food and feeling full can affect you negatively.

 

I hear that dude, I smoke like 5+ blunts a day with my friends and at work even sober I just kind of stare into space.

By the fall once school comes back I'll have cut down to once or twice on the weekends like I used to because there's no way I'll be able to handle school burnt out all the time, work is one thing but if I want to pull home decent grades this isnt the way.
