Is it normal to be a positive pot smoker?

Every bowl is like a new adventure. I love smoking herb and I know that millions would agree with me. I have been smoking for about two years now and what is there not to love? It makes music better, bad movies enjoyable and hell it even makes food taste better.

When I smoke I am not the type of person to sit around. I love skiing, skating and even sometimes playing soccer.It really makes me see the world as a place to explore which is pretty uncommon for a lot of teenagers trapped in high school. I love life, friends and even getting good grades.

It is hard to find people like me who want to live life when high. Most of the people in my high school who smoke are boring, lazy and for the most part "sketchy" people.

Is it normal to be a positive pot smoker? Will I ever meet people who smoke that don't just want the grass in my pocket?

    Yeah sure mate there is lot of people that like being out while stoned but finding 'em is a different story lol I use to just walk about getting stoned with my mates or down the skate park trying to out do each other while intoxicated, it was great lol But that was many years ago. But now i often go base jumping, bungee jumping and done a parachute jump when stoned its freaking awesome man especially the para jump that was beautiful up there being as high as a kite and i mean that literally. But aye finding people to do it with you i can't help you out. I've been smoking it for 10 years now. Gotta love weed :)

    Drugs much like religion are a way that capitalism controls you comrade.

    Drugs only benefit the rich gang lords who get rich on the blood of the people.

    After the revolution we will have drug dealers and gangsters sent to the Gulags were they belong and then we will hang the rich gang leaders and drug barons that have exploited the people for so long.

    AGREED, being high is for sure the best way to live. i've been getting high since i was 14 and i'm now 18 and i have had such good times over the years from being high. it makes me happy. i am only truley myself when i'm high, my friends are my friends because we love eachother. we get high together but that doesn't mean that the love is any different. i don't drink because it makes me feel like i can't control myself so i get high. i'm in control when i smoke weed and it just makes me generally happy. i don't think there is anything wrong with getting stoned all the time. if it makes you happy then do it. why would you deprive yourself of something you enjoy?

    i've had friends like that. people that believe in the spiritual aspect of weed. people who smoke to get high and sit in the house and do nothing are a major turn off. so i'd say yes... most of the people i've known like that are more like hippies or skaters. people that generally like to be active and have a life.

    I like smoking.
    & I think that if this is the way you think of it then yes.

    At times I hate smoking, because some people around me take it to far as saying " Im not going to be able to fall asleep/eat unless I smoke. If it gets to this point your fooling yourself and trying to fool everyone that it's positive for your life.

    It's normal to love weed and life, but many stoners cannot handle it all. Getting high and studying especially is a learned skill for most and does not come naturally. Once you get into the habit of getting stoned and being active it's a good life.

    My boyfriend and brother both love to do thing when they get high. My brother likes playing video games, painting with his airbrush, problem-solving, and kite-flying. My boyfriend likes to play frisbee, some contact sports, going for walks, climbing and swimming whilst high. I also have a friend who plays concerts and jams while high. He's a fantastic musician.

    A lot of people are more motivated when they are high. It's not abnormal. It's just that it makes some people sleepy and slow. It also depends on the kind of cannabis you're smoking.

    And as for it making your IQ go down, I know that not to be true. Both my father and my brother have very high IQs, and both have smoked for long periods of time without ill-affect. There is no proof that marijuana lowers your IQ or affects your short-term memory. That's more a matter of not getting enough air to your brain, if anything.

    You should watch the movie "The Union." All about the effects of pot... along with the myths that go along with it. Awesome documentary :)

  • I don't think weed makes a person lazy just the person smoking it was already lazy to begin with. I'm pretty much a lightweight I'll admit, and I just curl up in a ball on a couch or on my bed and watch a movie and get lost in my own little world. I am not fully functional after I smoke pot. I can't drive, walk very well, or hold a meaningful and intelligent conversation with anybody. I am aware of what goes on around me but I react to it very slowly.

    i like to get down on some serious video game action, and i do quite well when im high. i think because i concentrate really in tensely. but i cant really take anything physical like sports seriously when im high. other than that im pretty athletic. but power to ya, dont become one of those lazy shit head pot smokers.. but for the record. smoking pot gets boring. shrooms is the way to go when you really wanna trip. NEVER do anything more intense than shrooms. thats an actul drug and it will fuck you up permenantly. its something you dont do or do every once in a great while.

    It's all about being functional while stoned. I can go to work or class while stoned and be totally okay. It just makes me life oddly more enjoyable. I don't do it all of the time, but when I do I have a good time.

    I am the exact same way.
    It's funny, I am a soccer player too and I et more motivation when high, thats what makes me keep doing it. But I got caught by my parents and now I am getting drug tested so my days are over.
    But yes it is completely normal because I tend to surround myself in these people.

    ABSOLUTELY! lol i smoke all the time and it pissed me off that they have this generalization that people who smoke weed are lazy and stupid. Im almost a straight A student. Im in highschool, college, and I work in a huge office. In fact I like to get stoned to do my homework. It actually motivates me because it doesnt suck as bad :)

    I think the more you smoke, the most comfortable you get with going out and socializing.
    I don't mind running errands and stuff, but I still don't want to go to a bar and hang out. As far as sports..idk that might be kinda tough

    Don't be so concerned with finding friends who smoke pot. Think of things more generically. You like to be active and enjoy your free time, seek out others who share that same quality. Good friends won't think less of you for enjoying some ganja.

    i think thats def normal. look at michael phelps. :)

    there are people whose personalitys make them lazy while smoking pot. and its possible that people who are "go getters" so to speak are too worried about the steriotypes of cannabis to smoke themselfs. but as you can see, thats not %%100 true.

    yea you will be surprised the people that are out there like you me personaly i have smoked before and on rare occasions but my cousin is a lot like you can smoke and still funciton he cleans cooks shops watches tv i mean times he can be lazy but not like your typical pot smokers i think as long as you are controling the smoking and not it controling you i dont honestly see a problem with that just understand a time will come you may have to give it up or at least set it to the side for the time being...

    I think weed is illegal for a reason...there is way too much drama with weed smoking, you either are trying to find more or trying to find more...there is really no middle. I think its stupid for people to keep trying to "legalelize it" when people fought to make it illegal! I know both sides of the story...friends who smoke and friends who dont. I guess just like those of you who Choose to smoke I have the right to feel this way!

      People FOUGHT to keep it illegal, therefore it should remain illegal?

    • dmbfan028

      Actually there were not "many that fought to make it illegal" not even the American Medical Association thought it was a good idea.

      "The first state marijuana prohibition law was passed in California in 1913. The law received no public notice in the press. It was passed as an obscure technical amendment by the State Board of Pharmacy, which was then leading one of the nation's earliest and most aggressive anti-narcotics campaigns. Prior to the passage of the law, there was no indication that cannabis was a problem in California.

      Marijuana was outlawed in 30 states by 1930. There were two primary reasons for the laws.

      In the southwestern states, marijuana was outlawed because of racial prejudice against the Mexicans who used it. As one Texas legislator said, "All Mexicans are crazy and this stuff (marijuana) is what makes them crazy."

      In the other states, it was outlawed because of fears that heroin addiction would lead to the use of marijuana - exactly the opposite of the modern "gateway" myth.

    I know exactly how you feel about weed; it makes everything amazing and exciting - and that is exactly why you should get the fuck off of it ASAP. Otherwise after a few years of smoking bowls you'll rely on pot psychologically. Meanwhile it will make your IQ slowly get lower....lower...lower. Enjoy your pot trip, but like all things you will have to pay more than cash for it.

    Hey dude,

    I totally know what you mean, is there anything better than getting stoned and going surfing? I think not.

    Here's the PROBLEM.

    Eventually you're going to realize that you're addicted to this stuff. You'll have trouble thinking without it, you'll be unhappy, withdraw from friends, lose jobs over it.

    It might seem fun, it always does at first. Even two years in is nothing. I smoked from 18-24. I lost several years of my life over it and have jeopardized my future. I realized that my friends were just smoking buddies, and when I would suggest quitting, they would get defensive and angry and ridicule me. You don't want to be there do you?

    Good luck.

      Sounds like someone needed a scapegoat to me...

      Thats how MANY ex-pot smokers sound..

      Their life was miserable, probably would've been that way without pot, but they need SOMETHING to blame it on..
