Why do you smoke?

To sum it up, I basically smoke because it's the only time I feel normal. When I'm not stoned, I just don't feel right, because my thoughts are all over the place and I get anxious real easily because I think about all the negative shit. I just can't relax my mind without weed. I haven't smoked since 4/20, and my mind feels like it's been through a meat grinder or some shit. haha

 

pain, depression, nightmares, desire to eat, sleep, and occasionally to get high.

when i know im going to be blazed, i look forward to the rest and non-searing backpain.

 

Makes things more fun...aside from physical shit.

 

Usually when I want to smoke, it's because I'm feeling depressed or anxious. A little bit of ganja can cure that right up, though. That's EXACTLY why I smoke. That shit makes me fucking happy.

 

i used to have the great same experience of euphoria when i smoked, and feeling in touch with everything as well as relaxing, but lately i have been having problems...i feel my heart rate increase and even have felt pangs in my chest although i haven't even smoked for a year and my tolerance is pretty low because i take a break once and a while... but yeah, i've been having some pretty intense anxiety attacks that seem to happen only when i'm stoned...i don't know why

 

It makes things more fun.

I play World of Warcraft. I cannot play that game sober. I find that most people on my server on the same, just about everyone else is drunk and/or high too. GTA4 is more fun too, as are many games.

The best effect I think I get from marijuana is the ability to realize my creativity. Like if I draw. At any time, I can visualize something that I want to create. When I'm sober, I cannot manage to translate that thought to paper. When I'm high, for some reason I get more analytical and I can....break down the picture in my mind into separate parts that are easier to create. Then when its finished it looks exactly like what I imagined. I cannot do that sober.

 

Nowdays I generally smoke to alter my consciousness. I consider THC to be quite a consciousness enhancer, much much more than people generally give it credit for.

For example, when drumming, it can inspire me to riffs and rhythms that I am amazed I am playing. It can help build a coherence with the drum circle and allows me to see the flow of energies and where the rhythm is going much more clearly.

On other levels, I can see and connect ideas and experiences, while still folding in 'live' sensory inputs to create kind of a holographic gestalt of past/NOW world that I would be hard pressed to replicate outside of the state. This happens whether at a party, chillin with friends or watching tv, probably because it's now part of my intent.

Not that it isn't fun a lot of the time, too, but I see herb and other psychoactive substances as sacred and to be used with respect as they can be wonderful guides on your path to enlightenment.

 

You like Rory Gallagher?!

That is some of the best music to listen too stoned.

 

...because reality is for chumps =D lol

 

good people, good music, and good bud. dosnt get much better than that.

 

because im a hopeless drug addict
i say that in the best way possible

 

I wish I smoked weed to make money. I just do it cuz all the cool kids were doing it. No seriously though, I smoke weed because it helps me become lost in thought and it compliments my naturally relaxed personality too.

 

I smoke because its like an adventure through my mind. It doesn't matter if its raining out, or if no one wants to hang out. I can just smoke a bowl, sit on my bed, play some good tunes, and explore the inner workings of my mind.

 

sometimes you just need an escape...forget about the stupid worries and just relax while chillin w/ friends. i'm just able to be calm and at peace. also, they say laughter is the best medicine, and i always find myself laughing my ass off when i'm blazed!

 

^ Word, man, I'm always laughing when I'm high unless I'm real tired, then I zone out or fall asleep.

Weed reminds me everyday to laugh at this comedy of existence and to enjoy my life.

 

just get away and find my inner self

 

besides getting shmacked, i love to laugh and enjoy other people company. if i smoke alone, its typically to sleep or to go deep in thought.

 

lol! same here. lucy in the sky with diamonds made me want to go to a land where rocking horse people eat marshmellow pies.

 

I will check him out, thank you!

 

I was just wondering because "Moon Child" is a song, that he made.
