Getting high to escape reality

Holy fuck kill yourself already. I'm sorry but if you can take this world, killing ur body will only make it worse. Find a perminant solution. Fix yourself up or die!

Smoke buddah to relax, and chill not to escape problems. Of course when I'm stressed taking a hit off the blunt helps me calm down. Smoke Indicas they are very calming.

Using weed in this way is NOT a good idea.
Weed shouldn't be used for depression or anxiety. The same way you shouldn't use alcohol to drown your sorrows. The fact that you're looking to other more potent, addictive drugs to escape after trying some marijuana says that it's not the pot that's the problem, it's you.

Go to your doctor because it sounds like you are too stressed out to deal with some of the things that are happening in your life. Your doctor should be able to prescribe you some legal drugs (drugs that are specifically made for fixing your problem) and recommend you to a counselor. Make sure you go to the counselor because drugs alone (weed or prescriptions) won't help you in the long run.

Brought up to believe that anything in excess is a bad thing. Luckily, I wasn't raised to be brainwashed into thinking marijuana is a gateway drug or a life-ruining lifestyle. I also live in British Columbia, Canada; where even though it is still illegal (barely, but still, it's a reality), it continues to be a very strong part of BC culture.

I've smoked pot for about 20 years and usually on average of only a couple of times a week. I've gone through dry-spells with marijuana too. I never drink. I have never been "addicted" to weed, alcohol, cigarettes, or caffeine. I don't think it should be used my minors either.

I am successful in life. My bills are always paid. I dress well. I live in a beautiful home in an affluent neighborhood in my city. If you met me, you would never guess that I toke up, but I also don't try to hide it either because it's not something that I would ever feel ashamed of.

One day, the paranoid, narrow-minded, hypocritical conservatives will be the minority and their influence in society will diminish... Or so we can only hope. :-)

yeah.....see this sounds like an addiction. Smoking weed to get away from problems is just as bad as doing heroin to get away from problems, because youre not using it to have fun, youre depending on it to help you or something. This is exactly how ppl get addicted to harder drugs. I definitely would not try other drugs if I was in your position because if you get hooked on weed so easily then ANY other drug will be tenfold. Weed is one of the most non addicting drugs because it never causes you to chase that first high, you just do it to chill and hang out wit buddies. Most other drugs get you addicted because your mind will chase that first high because the very first high actually created a dopamine imbalance in your brain, so whenever you think about doing that drug, you actually associate feelings of happiness with it.

hi

Allota people here are taking this the wrong way. She is not depressed.

I know weed makes you feel good and well that's how I learned the meaning of being high& im not proud of smoking weed but I do understand it's an awesome feeling..just don't do it because problems will never go away and what you are doing is just destroying your body I suggest just staying clean & just dealing with your problems(:

All I have to say is read this book.... JAMES FREY, A MILLION LITTLE PIECES,It give insight into what happens when one drug isnt enough. Dont resort to drugs to get away from life, because then when they wear off it always ends up being worse. Reality will always be the hardest thing to deal with, But one day ur going to have to deal with it!

everyone smokes weed. there are no actual proven facts that it does anything bad to you except for the fact that your inhaling smoke.. anywho i wouldnt worry about the fact that uve gotten high a few times to get away from your problems. alot of people do it for alot worse than to forget a car crash and your neighbours problems.. i get high at least once a day, not to get away from anything just cuz i like weed and i still live a normal life. Id say its completly normal just stay away from REAL drugs, thats just stupid.

i smoke weed to get away from problms and they still there i did it ever day wen i got kick out of my mum and move from place to place to 4got about bad things they get longer weed dose not help you can get depressed that what it dose to me first time when i did i was laughing at ever thing and then upset lost sum of my m8 what go out my own at all but i am of it now well trying sum people say you can cum off it easy but ithink ther wrong

Life is hard, but maybe you can improve your life without pot.

it's normal that because of stress, you resort to drugs.

but i am telling you, DON'T DO IT. in the long run, you will regret it. marijuana only has short term happy effects. if you're stressed, write about it. take a walk. don't use drugs. they will make your life even more miserable in the long run.

I cant say i understand what you have been though because i dont know you but i do understand what weed does!
I smoked weed for 6 years and this is what i learnt.
1. Men can smoke pot women shouldnt.
Why you ask?
For the reason your smoking it. Women are driven by emotions and it is not good to be using because of depression.
Men smoke pot to relax!
2. Its not going to solve your problems but only make them worse!
It doesnt do damage like presciption drugs but it can do psycological damage.

Remember i am not a doctor, i am a girl who is proud to say iam clean.
It is a easy addiction.
Oh and with the other drugs you want to try, you will like them too.
This is why they are called drugs! they are addictive so if you want to try somthing, id say 99%% chance of you getting hooked and it will take about 5-10 yrs to stop them, imagine that!

no offense but these little events you went through (the car, the neighbours) are a horrible excuse for problems...

I'm sure there are a bunch of druggies and stoners who will never get anywhere in their pathetic lives, that WILL agree with you.

There are other ways to escape reality then drugs. Safe ways that will not alter your body. Write stories, paint, draw. If these aren't things you're good at, then READ! Play video games. Watch movies. Healthy hobbies that you are interested in help you escape reality just as well as drugs do, if not more because you can quit anytime. And hobbies aren't harmful.

Marijuana has horrible side-effects. DEPRESSION gets worse while using marijuana, so what you're feeling now will just get WORSE! Look up the side-effects. Paranoia is another side-effect. It alters the chemicals in your brain. If you get high off something, that means it is harmful! There is no "natural high" like how marijuana is supposed to be. It is harming you. It is addicting, and other drugs are just worse. Stop before you get deep into it and can't stop. And try and get your man to stop too.

Ugh, okay why the HELL are you going to do drugs and prescriptions that only harm your body?!?! Yes, weed does that! And screw all the lame-asses out there who would like to disagree with me. All it does is help you to forget shit you were supposed to remember....and makes sex feel REALLY good lol. Anyhow: Listen, problems are going to happen and stuff is going to get you down - that is life BUT chances are there is someone out there who is worse off than you. Please, think positively. Also, weed is just like drinking - you do it for the time being, but I guess with weed you eventually forget about what it is you were thinking about in the first place. I would recommend you to start taking this stuff called GABA, it's a branched chain amino acid that our body naturally produces to calm us down when we are put in high stressed, fight or flight situations. Sometimes we might not produce enough because your body isn't at it's most healthiest. The bottle is white and the lettering is red. It reads "GABA Anxiety Stress Control" and works within 10 to 12 minutes. Best of all - you are yourself! You don't become a Zombie and you don't have depressing thoughts. I got on it last month and called my doctor and told her I am no longer taking Wellbutrin because this stuff is holistic medicine and it works wonders!
