I'm going to have to disagree with everyone and say it's not the weed. I think you have Social Anxiety Disorder and are using weed to self-medicate. As no one has proven that weed has killed anyone, the issue is not the pot as much as it's your abuse of it. Anything could be in place of it (food, alcohol, exercise) and you'd have the same problem. You're drowning out emotional problems with the crutch of a substance, and the only way you can fix this is to recognize the true root of your issues. Marijuana is not ruining your life; social anxiety, problems swept under the rug, avoidance, and depression are much more likely to be the cause.
oh man. i would suggest stop smoking, it ruins you. plus it's disgusting. good luck!
I disagree with you. It sounds like you are more bored with the way your life is going than anything else. Are you happy with what you are studying in school? Are your grades good? Is your homelife good? Ask yourself all those questions and see what you think. I smoked pot for years and years while paying a $1300 mortgage, raising two kids, and working full time. It never did anything to hinder me.
Weed can certainly make you more withdrawn. Especially if you have friends that do not indulge.Maybe it is time to cut back. Remember, Everything in moderation.
Weed effects alot of things, and everything you have mentioned is on the list along with health problems(mostly lung and brain related) and feritility. You need to get off the weed. You will probably need help from a drug abuse counsilor. Do you have insurance? Does your school have a health and wellness program? Is there an income based counsiling program in your area? Find out where in yor area you can get help and seek it out. Weed does ruin peoples lives.
You need to quit smoking pot...it leads to disaster in more ways than 1
weed does make me lazy...
maybe u can make a rule for yourself?...
if your social life is important to you, how about no smoking weed until after you call a friend and say hi !
You're addicted. PLEASE GET HELP!!! You're probably addicted to the high, dazed, aloof feeling the weed gives you. Seriously cut down or quit not only for your sake, but for your life. The weed is killing you faster and in more ways than you think.
well, i'm a girl so maybe i can't answer all your questions, but... i love smoking but i feel the same way. I feel like I used to be more active and fun. Having been a regular smoker for about 12 years now, I can definitely say that it made a big difference in my drive. I even feel too tired for sex sometimes. My husband smokes too though and he's never too tired for sex. We both hold down jobs and family, but when its our time off we smoke together and relax. Since you said you're slowly losing friends I assume they are not smokers. Or, maybe they are her friends too? Why don't you try scheduling your stoned time for when you've got nothing to do? Until then, invest in a PS3 and some games.
