It's also for people who are NOT losers: just because it's not your thing doesn't mean that applies to everybody. Apart from being relaxing and fun, it also has many medicinal qualities, so why don't you just mind your own business and stop labelling people who find it useful as losers?
I used to smoke it off and on when it was around (have never bought it in my life) but I can't smoke anything now because of emphysema: not caused by cannabis smoking but by that legal drug, nicotine.
I certainly didn't find it to be addictive and often went months or years without using it: pity I didn't do the same with cigarettes because if I had I wouldn't have shortened my life and I'd be able to breathe properly.
I eat it in bikkies and as it expands airways it helps with the emphysema and also with arthritis pain because I can't use anti inflammatories for other reasons.
Nicotine withdrawal causes anxiety so yeah, smoking will help with that form of anxiety. In my experience it also applies to nicotine replacements.
Be careful: most smokers start out as light occasional smokers and then find themselves addicted.
Sorry about your mum: emphysema is a crappy condition to have. I'm at least lucky mine was diagnosed in its early stages and so far I've managed to prevent it from deteriorating, but it'll get me in the end if something else doesn't get me first.
Great that you mum has quit: I've met a few people who keep smoking with emphysema and I honestly don't know how they can do it. After heavy smoking for decades I finally quit and was diagnosed a year or so later and now I physically can't stand to be around other people's cigarette smoke.
Cannabis - I need advice

I take it you didn't read this part of my comment: "yet not everyone who smokes is a loser."

The last sentence of the post I was responding to was "It's for losers"
Are you a cannabis smoker, Ellena? How was your experience in case you are?

I see... I smoke cigarettes but not everyday and I feel nicotine does help me with my anxiety. Mum had emphysema too and she had to quit smoking.
