Does Marijuana ruin lives and entire societies?

when i first smoked i used to get super paranoid too!

The laziness depends on the strain of weed for me, some stuff is good for an 'UP' sorta high, others is good for the 'melt into the couch' kinda hight.

Its weird like if I"m in a mood where I just sense something is not right... then I will definitely not smoke cause full blown paranoia.
If it schwag then yeah laziness is bound to happen, for me anyway.
S O gets hers from some undergrad kids from hawaii, who say it is from kuai. Cannot be anymore kind, so yeah, high and not stupor stoned just wanna crash and eat type shit.

Maui Wowi was my favorite weed of all time. Potent shit!


I dabbled with some weed in college, but really truly preferred booze. I'd drink anything really.

Then I stopped weed and booze except for a drink here and there. When I did get drunk I found out that my following day was ruined until like 2 or 3pm, I hated that. I'd skip workouts and run because my head hurt and I felt like shit.

Then I was snowboarding in Canada and got some weed there and was like "damn this shit is good!" no paranoia or anything. Since then I've always had a steady supply, sometimes daily, sometimes weekly, basically whenever I feel like it. Never before work though, its a relaxation thing for me.

Bro, I do tend to agree with your high level points, but I don't like seeing anyone insulted for their opinion. heather has some personal experience with weed (and its not good) she's never said it applies equally to everyone, but for her the effects were disastrous.

Its funny because I read your post and could see myself typing it nearly word for word! I'm starting to realize that the message comes across better when the tone is softer.

elite mentor material!

sounds about right .. when i used to smoke i got paraniod only .. when i was in an uncomfortable situation .. if my comfort level was good, i was fine .. i would eat like a horse , and was to lazy to do anything constructive .. i smoked weed heavy for years actually

deliquent's post pwned
and i don't see any insulting, just calling a spade a spade

i can and have done everything high. work, meetings at work, school, wedding, big family/work parties, etc. etc. etc.

im not proud of it but some of us you would never be able to tell were high. we function the exact same as sober, except there is no stress/anxiety. i have quite the daily grind and have really limited my use (the last 3 weeks have been an exception due to extreme stress but im back on the wagon a few days now, day by day).

drugs effect everyone different, there are no blanket statements that could be made. drugs cripple some while aiding others.

just overall tone I guess. I know I've been guilty too, but I try to treat people with some respect when possible, even when they are in the wrong.

That is the worst, the paranoia, and this is beyond obvious, once I get an idea in my dome, I can't seem to keep it to myself, and so I just throw it out there, sometimes its kewl, and other times is makes absolutely no fucking sense, as a result of this, I get that feeling like oh man, I should not have said that shit, but when I am high, both sides get exponentialized, I think I'm saying some kewl shit, and it really 'feels' deep, but what comes out only gets responses that makes javaguru's chic comments on her looks seem really kind... so as result, in the past, I would get super paranoid, like oh man I really should not have said that shit feeling x 10.

The uncomfortable social setting feeling blows as well. The weird thing is I think if you are feeling off it only fills the room with that 'energy' or whatever. It just seems like that shit is contagious.

I've only recently started smoking out again with the S O, but after all the past paranoia shit would never smoke with someone I didn't feel right at home with.

I could never work or function around family high. I am on again and off again with teh weed. Between semesters in college I would get blasted out of my mind on it, then during the semester I would go weeks between touching it. As of now I last hit it in April just once, and before that I spent December baked because it was in between semesters. I find if Im not around it I dont need it or even try to get it. If I happen to have easy access I more than likely will do it. It never impaired my life really and no hangovers like alcohol.
