The philosophy of weed

All these guys are assholes so don't listen to them, I've been smoking weed for about 2 years now, and there is nothing wrong with it.

It merely changes your perspective of everything, giving the illusion of making you smarter, but you are actually just viewing things in a different light.

So yeah fuck you guys.

You people are silly. I've been smoking regularly for six years, and I'm certainly not any smarter, but I'm not a big paranoid basket case either. If I need to get something accomplished, I don't get high. If I want to get high, I do. I have a 3.5 college undergrad GPA -- I am not a loser. But to think that weed makes you smarter? No freaking way. What it does do is allow you to set aside some of your hangups, even those you don't know you have, and let your creativity flow without constantly judging yourself.

Oh, and @ Jim_Pfoss, thinking that marijuana is financing global crime is stupid. Most of the stuff you buy in the US was grown here, unless you're buying shitty Mexican shit, in which case -- well, Mexico isn't really known for its weed-based crime rate. Think cocaine, you know?

Smoke it who cares.

i found that while i was smoking weed every night my grades in school actually went up...my English teacher even wrote home to my parents to congratulate me on my recent achievements..

no one knows i smoke weed...and my teachers described it thus: "its like something's suddenly just clicked and now he just...gets it."

maybe it doesn't make you smarter, but it certainly changed my way of thinking...

ok. These people sound like the typical ignorant assholes that doesnt like weed because its "bad for you and illegal". Every year about 435,000 people die in this country from cigarettes,365,000 from poor diet and lack of exercise, and 85,000 from alcohol. Guess how many people died from weed in the history of mankind..... zero. Somebody offered $20,000 for any scientist who can offer any evidence that weed is worse for you that alcohol. so far nobody has succeeded. For all the morons who are against weed because its illegal; have you ever thought anout "Why is it illegal"? No, the answer is not "its bad for you". Racism and Economics. thats why its illegal. Congress made marijuana illegal because people were complaining "Reefer makes darkies think they're as good as white men", "all mexicans are crazy and this stuff (marijuana) makes them crazy". And "the primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races.” So get your facts straight, weight the pros and cons, and approach your feelings on weed as an adult not a dipshit who talks out of their asses.

i get more creative and actually smarter when i am high off of a gb or 2.

I suppose I had never had enough experience with it but let me ask you if this sounds at all smart or creative: 5 stoned kids listening to a cd skipping for 45 min straight trying to find all the things it sounds like the singer could be saying...

LEGALIZE IT

Youve obviously been smoking for quite some time now. Your sober feelings are because you have smoked weed for a long time and you become used to functioning while high, in the absence of weed your body becomes confused and it doesnt know how to function without the substance. This is very common with potheads just give it some time and youll will get use to it.

haha i think i get a totally opposite reaction from it than other ppl cuz my friends are like ahh i love it it takes away my hangover and makes me happy and i do stuff way better and i love math and bla bla bla alota random stuff and when i smoke it i feel scared and paranoid and tired and i feel pain and things in my body like 10x more but if im like driving around alone i feel much better being high then but ya haha i feel suuuuper dumb when im high and i kno i am a lil slow so i dont like to talk much haha.. damn i wish i knew what it felt like for other ppl

Weed IS god.

I think it's normal, but be warned, it's a common phenomenon for a drug's opposite effects to occur when you stop taking it.

Man...I haven't smoked up in an year. Wish I had some weed right now. It makes me so ALIVE. Too bad it makes me paranoid, insecure and depressed if I do it too much

Weed helped my brain cells f*ck and have more babies so new baby brain cells would emerge and grow up and the cycle goes on.Thus my thinking was more broad and open about everything but Im not sure if it made me smarter.At least thats the way weed affects my mind.

DR. WEED
I am 28 yo..I am doing oil and gas trading ... I was damn depressed cos of unlimited difficulties but I started to smoke weed regulary since 3 years back .. You have no idea how my life changed... I became happy everyday... Yes I smoke slot but week is showing me so many new ways so I won't see myself on a tangle anymore ..
weed is a medicine...

I am 43, a mother of three kids. I smoke a little, but I smoke regularly, and have done for the better part of nearly 30 years. I am artistic, doing glasswork and writing and playing music. These things require the right brain to be active. The right brain is the part that takes information from the five senses and compiles it into our current feelings. Smoking pot brings me to here and now, exactly where I need to be to create my art. When I try to create without it, my left brain is busy analyzing my situation, comparing it with the past, and projecting into the future, filling me with cognitive thoughts and worries. Pot tells my left brain, "Hey you, shut the fuck up!" and invites my right brain to wake up, come out and play, and enjoy the moment. It always makes my creativity flow. :)

we share the same thought pattern and weed does not make you dumber it has no permanently bad affects on the body it really annoys me whn people say that you have the internet so go and read about it dont just listen to your parents or your mates because the chances are they havent read about it either theyve spoken to someone who most likely hasnt read up on it either and most likely listened to the goverment. take this into perspective why do you think that its a bad drug? because someone told you. why did they think its a bad drug? because someones told them and it will just go back and back untill it reaches you guessed it the goverment if they started off saying "marijuana isnt a drug that will harm you it may have some effects whilst you are under the influence but nothing major" then you would belive it its the narrow minded people on the world that really do not think about things next time somebody says "oh weed makes your brain turn to mush" ask them where did you hear that they will most likely say something that will lead back to their parents or the goverment open your eyes and mind to the world and look around listen to what people actually have to say and absorb it dont just shrug it off and say well i prefer my opinion take these words in to serious consideration please i beg of you ....... rant over

i smoke weed whenever i want to feel creative, i have accomplished a lot high, i can make music when im high, even go to the gym high, everything just flows better i wouldnt say it makes you smarter or stupid you just see things in ways you normally wouldnt. for you, you feel worse when you are sober beacuse your brain is so used to being bakes so infact, baked is your normal state of mind and sober is now a secondary state of mind

Agreed. When I smoke weed I get more done and done correctly. Keep it up buddy.

btw, that marijuana ad that always pops up with marijuana topics is super hot.

It affects everyone differently at different times of their lives and when they're in different states of mind. It used to make me feel blissful and creative. Then it started making me feel paranoid. And now it's making me feel creative again. And this is over the course of 7 or so years.

Just be aware of what kind of affect is it having on you. Sometimes sober is better for certain things, and other times being high can help. The only way to figure out which works best for you is through experience. Hell, even the KIND of weed can change your experience greatly.

Lol. How long have you been smoking?

I'm sure that there are pot heads everywhere, but in Hawaii (where I am from) there are the loads. Or maybe it%%u2019s because I know a lot. Hah.

Anyway, I hope you realize that weed makes you stupid. It doesn't help your brain. I get where you are coming from about the whole "makes you more creative than when you are sober", but please minimize your Pakalolo intake. Oh, and try to enjoy life anyway without the Reffer.

it isnt the philosophy of weed dude...

Weed=SMOKING $ CIGARETTES AT THE SAME TIME

You are just kidding yourself. Weed doesn't make you smarter. It makes you satisfied with less.
What's more, your activity is helping to finance some pretty horrible criminal activity, world-wide.
