For me it is. I'm not saying this is how it works for everybody (though I suspect is for most, and they just don't want to admit it), and I'm sure this affect is not as bad as harder drugs would make it, but I can't enjoy anything without it the way used to before I started. I don't know if it's a chemical thing necessarily, but I can't help but think "This would be so much better if I was high." And if I stop smoking for more than a few days, I always fall into a deep depression. But the only time I feel like I'm being a good, productive, clear-thinking human being is when I'm not smoking all the time. When I smoke, I may feel a little better, but I'm not truly any happier because all I want to do is lay around and watch TV or listen to music, which in turn makes me feel like a boring, lazy piece of shit. But that doesn't stop me from continuing to smoke more. Unless you have a horrible experience the first time, you're never going to want to stop, and that is not a good thing, in my opinion. It's not going to stay as good as it was when you first started. It will be fun for a while, but it won't make you truly happy. It's a selfish thing to do when it comes down to it, and selfishness never leads to real happiness. Wish I had realized that a long time ago.
Is marijuana overrated
