What are your thoughts and experiences with weed Jow Forums? How does it make you feel?

At this point in my life I don't like it. I tried it when I was 15 or 16. Started with a ludicrously potent gummy and loved it. Listened to Tame Impala, marveled at how great it sounded, and realized that I might have clinical depression. My good friend had also tried it around the same time, so we smoked together for a bit, and it was overall a great time in my life. We only smoked every other weekend or so, and I did get caught by my parents (they searched my room on suspicion I was drinking, which I hadn't at all by that point).

These days, I avoid it like the plague. I've gotten my life straightened out to the best of my ability and want to stay on the path of self-improvement. I saw a psychiatrist after getting caught (parents trying to get me "fixed" despite them being the problem, very long story). I worked with him and a cognitive behavioral therapist for over a year. Now, at 20, the only drugs I take are what are prescribed to me. I'll be transparent in the fact that I'm prescribed incredibly high doses of amphetamine and temazepam (90 mg per day and 45 mg per night respectively), so I don't consider my drug dependence (not addiction) to be morally superior to people that self-medicate with weed. However, that good friend of mine is my roommate at university, and he "bools hard" as he says in normiespeak. It's turned him from one of the smartest people I know into a slacker with little passion. I know he can sort himself out eventually, because he was one of the driving forces that has sorted me out.

I guess my main qualm is with downers in general. Yes, I take one of the more notorious benzodiazepines every night, but I don't use them as a form of thrill seeking or to curb mental turmoils. I don't know what's going on in my friend's head as he doesn't open up to anyone much I hope; if he can show the kind of brotherhood he has with an autistic bipolar mess such as me he has to have more to him but I don't think he needs weed.

I tried some when I was a junior in hs. It made my memory all fucked. But it was hella fun at the time, I did it before a football game (I was in the marching band) I would drool a lot. I want to do it again, but I dont want to mess up my memory again.

Downers just make you complacent with who you are and prevent you from pursuing your potential as a man. They're fine as a way to relax, but not as a lifestyle. Everything in moderation.

As far as weed for the sake of "woooooah man trippy lmao", lsd is far superior, not a downer, and hard as fuck to develop a habit with.

Overall, 6/10 unless you're an epileptic with no other options.

Lsd is easy to form a habit with. I was popping tabs every 3 days even though my tolerance kept increasing. Dont underestimate a druggy

My sister has a connection that makes these awesome weed donuts, every once in a while she will get me a few. These things are potent. I usually eat like a quarter of one and it gets me blasted. I love the edible high. Its way more relaxing compared to smoking for me.

When i get high i feel super motivated to learn about stuff and try new hobbies. Unfortunately it also destroys my ability to focus on anything really, and my higher motor skills go to shit. Like trying to play a video game or something just doesnt work, and even trying to read through a whole article or wiki page is almost impossible. Seriously i wish i could harness the motivation it gives me while I'm sober, i could be a much more interesting and happier person. I also get the strong urge to write down but thoughts, but even that would be a struggle and would probably distract me. Usually I just spend the time in deep introspective thought, or if thats too exhausting I'll just watch something or listen to music. I become highly analytical while i watch things. I also think I've made some important insights regarding who i am while being high, and it's helped me find some inner peace. It has also helped me deal with anxiety and stress. Ive realized i dislike being high around most other people. Most tend to severely annoy me and i see all their negative traits laid bare. There's only a couple of people i enjoy being high with, and i think is because it must affect them in a similar way and they naturally have very relaxed personalities.

I realize these thoughts are a bit disorganized, I'm just trying to brain-dump my experiences. PS i was high when i took this picture and i thought it was absolutely beautiful. I still do.

I like it. It gives me an immersion into a topic or subject such that the concerns and anxieties and distractions are irrelevant to me. Being high is a session of reverie where my mind becomes utterly consumed by the movie I'm watching or the book I'm reading. Reading books high is also a wonderful experience, your mind is very much better at forming those vivid images that make reading worthwhile. You are also more interested in the story that's in front of you, rather than suffering from the distracting tendencies of sober living. Oftentimes when I watch movies, I deduct profound aspects of the themes and the setting that I certainly would not have cared to contemplate if I was sober. I'm often described as eloquent when high, I deploy all sorts of grandiloquent language to convey meaning when talking to people while high for some reason, and it's been described as lucid.

I also have the capacity to be amazed much more often when I'm high, even at the most commonplace and mundane things, like the Christmas decorations tucked away in my garage or my mother's lovely, tender face, none of which I will be able to see once I head off to college in Summer for quite a while.

Ironically, sometimes when I seriously contemplate what I want to do with me life. I can pick up a book and read an entire chapter because I find it that interesting. Usually it's so difficult to will myself to read, even more so to study in this summer lull.

This happened to me too. I was never a heavy smoked but I smoked pretty regularly and suddenly it started making me sick and giving me anxiety attacks. Aside from that I also didn't like how often I'd do stupid shit while high and have to deal with the consequences or embarrassment later.

It's probably one of the main reasons I'm a robot, living in LA as somebody who doesn't smoke weed is a one-way ticket to ostracization.

if weed was legal in my state, I would be smoking everyday to help with my mental illnesses. Xanax is slowly killing me and all my other pills make me stoned anyway.

Dammit I forgot to mention that I also have to take gabapentin due to my mood disorder and progressed bilateral carpal tunnel syndrome and ulnar nerve lesions. It helps me manage the pain and keeps me from having depressive swings. Last time I "smoked" (hit a vaporizer pen with allegedly 96% pure THC extract) I had a full body pulsating sensation of fire wrack my body. I'd never experienced anything so dissociating and "dirty" feeling. I felt like I was in hell, and I wish I was exaggerating. That's why I just don't fuck with weed. It knocks me out for a day at least. My roommate realized I wasn't just being a bitch with "the good shit" when he saw that I was having rippling muscle cramps/spasms starting from the crown of my forehead that ran down to my toes. He sent a video of it to me for me to see once I'd gotten through it and it legitimately looked like my body had a roiling sea under the skin. I knew it was a bad reaction, but it looked way worse than I thought it would.

Started weed at 13-14, am 23 now. Just quit a week ago.

Weed feels good for 10 minutes,then the psychosis starts due to my schizophrenia, just crazy paranoid delusions and such, havent tried smoking weed for 2 years and i am now taking medications against psychosis so i will propably try smoking again at some point to see if my meds help

I should've clarified. Real LSD (I'm sure you know about RCs and the like) presents a difficulty in maintaining a chronic dosage pattern due to the steep and immediate tolerance curve. You can't take the same dose every day and present the same degree of effect as confirmed by multiple studies involving MRIs and subjective rating indices.

In my opinion, especially considering the physical safety profile of the substance and its broadly self-regulating nature (you appear to be an outlier by all means), it's extremely hard to maintain an abusive pattern of LSD intake for the average person. It wouldn't kill you, much like weed although the popularity of extracts could very well soon result in a verifiable report of a lethal THC overdose in the coming years , but it would become severely uncomfortable to reach a point with LSD where your life becomes unalterably negatively impacted. We can agree to disagree though, especially since the data on LSD abuse is scarce and not up to the depth of analysis that I feel comfortable taking a hard stance on.

certain states

Proud of you user. Take control of your life in the direction you feel is the best for you as a person.

Hey give me advice pls I'm in Holland rn. Pre rolled fine? Silver Haze etc, these things mean nothing to me. Help me out

Hence why i took it every 3 days. Its the bare minimum to feel an effect. I once took 2 tabs only 28 hours after dosing, and had no effect whatsoever. Not even a flicker. Usually i get flickery vision during comeup. No its not sustainable. My mental state has deteriorated a lot. But i planned on suicide anyway so this is better than it would be if i was dead

Very occasionally not a big deal and can be quite enjoyable though strains have gotten much too strong for my tatse. It's still a drug though and shouldn't be taken lightly just becuase you can't OD. There's long been evidence that excessive and continual use may have a detrimental impact on brain function and development included changes to gray matter in regions of the prefrontal cortex and nerve fibers in both the central and peripheral nervousness systems. We'll see the long term impacts much clearer in the coming decade. I'm just glad I don't live in a state where recreational use is legal.

>stims and benzos
what a fucking rollercoaster

Thanks man

Obama had nothing to do with it. Some states legalized various forms of use but it's still illegal under federal law and federal law supersedes state in this matter. The DEA could still roll in at any point and bust someone or shut a dispensary down and for years they were doing that a lot in California. It's still happening but there are so many states it's legal in now it's not a very efficient use of limited man power and prosecuting is a bitch.

Weed makes me feel super relaxed. I get so hungry everytime. I only smoke when I'm hanging out with friends. So only on weekends.

Too much too often will fuck you up but if you don't go overboard and lose yourself to it then it's god given soma.

I bin' dealing with the nasty after effects of a profoundly negative trip when I did LSD and Ketamine at the same time. Was pretty sure I saw satan for about a month after but the residual effects have not really gone away. I gave myself psychosis, lads. Am I fucked?

Tried it once got a headache never touched it again

I love weed, but I've been through ups and downs with it. At one point my friends and I were dabbing wax like mad and I was high all the time. I've since cut back and try and get thc oil cartridges to vape because they taste good, are convenient and don't smell much if at all. Now I only smoke on my time off, I've realized you have to be sober at least part of the time to actually appreciate the high.

It really helps me relax after a long ass day of work.

am i the only one who only smokes when he is planning on fapping shortly after? Sex and masturbating feels so incredible qhile being high. I had once the chance to have sex while being high and i did not only last pretty much forever, it also felt like fuckinf heaven

I smoke everyday. It's more like a medicine for me. I have some health issues and aside from helping relieve physical symptoms, it also significantly helps relieve depression and anxiety. I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I don't want to do any other drugs, I've never smoked cigarettes and I also dislike alcohol.

Stinky pussy

I've been smoking it for the past 2 years, but not everyday. It depends, but on average I smoke it like 3 times a week.

It's been weird. When I first started, it was fine, but last summer I had major anxiety and had difficulty smoking it for a long time. Either I'd enjoy it, or I'd get really anxious. I'd even get paranoid sometimes and hear voices and one time even had full blown hallucinations.

After doing MDMA for some reason and after smoking hashish I handle weed much better. I enjoy it pretty much every time I smoke now. I did get stupid high recently and was hearing voices but meh, at least it didn't bother me.

Ever figured out why weed was exacerbating your physical problems?

Long story short, i've got a bad back and when i smoke my back pain intensifies to unbearable levels. Ill keel over in pain for during the entire peak and be really aching for a couple hours after .

Even if im drunk and have a toke. I can be high on codeine or oxy and be pain free but soon as i toke my back hurts so fucking bad its not worth toking. It pisses me the fuck off because weed makes me feel so placid and calm but i cant enjoy it cos of the pain.

Any one know why weed can exacerbate pain? I thought it would do the opposite.

I like it too much and it's a chore for me to maintain self control and do it in moderation.
When I do it in moderation the dopamine rush is indeed great, it helps motivate me to better myself and allows me to continue doing tasks I once found too boring to complete such as exercise or sitting down to finish a book.
I wonder if I'm self-medicating some form of undiagnosed depression I had. I prefer this to taking anything a professional physician would offer me due to the untrustworthiness and deceptive nature of the pharmaceutical industry.

While I do keep in mind the warnings from many that it is a gateway to harsher drugs, I do want to try psilocybin or LSD because I've heard it is a very large awakening experience and makes you much more aware of problems in your life and yourself and makes it easier for your brain to work out ways to solve those problems or put up with them better. LSD is rather hard to find, many people claim their stuff is LSD but it isn't. Mushrooms on the otherhand are legal to grow here and easy to find.
I also tried experimenting with LSA from untreated morning glories but I didn't feel much of an effect from them at all.
