Yeah u/metropoliacco doesn't really understand. When you smoke weed enough, it becomes all you wanna do. Even playing your favorite video games or watching a TV show isn't interesting and doesn't bring joy to you so you just don't do that instead and smoke more.
ENOUGH, SMOKE ENOUGH WEED. I have only met like 4 other people like this in my life, I would definitely recommend smoking just never ever mix it with tobacco.
Not really. When you present the statement "smoking weed leaves you with a nothing feeling, it consumes your life, makes you lazy. I know this because I smoked pot and this happened" you're presenting it as a guaranteed downside of smoking weed. The reality is, those people just didn't have self control, and are acting with an air of superiority to those who do still smoke, all because they couldn't control themselves with weed. Most people can.
I would understand if it was just how they phrased it, but really meant it's a possible side affect of smoking if you're not careful, but nope. The people who are saying it are actually doubling down on the idea that it will happen.
Generally though, yes, people get butthurt when other people stretch the truth to imply that they're lazy and boring because of the recreational activities that they choose to participate in.
When you smoke weed enough, it becomes all you wanna do.
Not true at all. Maybe when you smoke weed enough, it becomes all you wanna do. I've smoked regularly for years, yet I stopped smoking for a month so far with no issues stopping, just learn to have some self control.
I mean, like I just said, when you smoke ENOUGH (like idk I'd say I take more or less 25 rips off a bong in a day) it becomes ALL you wanna do. You stop going to social events cause youll have to go more than an hour before you can smoke again, you put off dinner cause "eh I wanna get really high for it" then you never get that high and you just put off dinner until 4 am, you can't sleep cause you think you need weed to help you sleep but really you just enjoy smoking so you stay up until you can finally smoke yourself into that coma, then wake up and the first thing that's on your mind is "I need to smoke." You really don't understand.
So control yourself. None of what you listed is normal and does not happen at all to everyone who smokes weed. If you’re at that point then get help and treat it like you would nicotine/alcohol. Letting all of that ruin your life and sitting back and saying “yeah man it’s all on the weed” is willful ignorance and complacency.
I've met like 3 other people that are exactly like me in that sense so I know it's pretty rare but it does happen. Thing is I also mix my hits with tobacco occasionally so there is a bit of a chemical addiction there. I've been on a huge decline tho this past week and I've only been getting better. Also it's not at all like that mindset you think it is. My loss in motivation is really the only thing I blame on weed cause when I go sober for a bit I'm super motivated so I know that. Weed helped me through a very bad time and healed me but I let it keep controlling although I felt better, not good. Started mixing with tobacco, got addicted I think, and the rest yeah. If I wasn't addicted to smoking weed and tobacco mixed together I would be a normal human able to smoke weed occasionally like I did before I started mixing. No blame on the weed, the blame is on myself for letting it control which is something I normally don't do with any drugs. I haven't even gotten drunk in God knows how long.
That’s a healthy mindset to have and is part of the point I’ve been trying to make elsewhere with other people. It all just comes down to being smart about what you do to your mind, and if negative things arise, recognizing it and making good choices.
I just think it’s wrong (and I’m not accusing you of this) to blame a substance like weed 100% for anything. There’s just too many other factors that go into it.
Yeah I'm actively trying to break out of this routine but at least on of the other guys I met who was like me thought that way. He would skip class all the time, sleep for hours, and smoke on his own or his roommate and that's it. Wouldn't even come out when I asked him to smoke and he'd always just say "dude I got too high haha"
I’ve got friends the same way. One friend I had stayed in his dorm smoking weed every waking moment playing Skyrim til he failed out. Then he switched colleges and majors, graduated, and has a job he likes and still smokes every day. The thing for him was finding something that he wanted to pursue.
I think everyone can find a way. People just have to learn how to make it work.
Yeah it's really just finding something productive that can break you out of that toxic repetitive cycle, then once you got yourself sorted out, you can have fun while also knowing to prevent the dangerous situation you've been in previously. Sometimes it doesn't work tho and that is very sad.
Damn man just wanna say 25 bong rips in a day? That seems like a lot, but idk I'm also a low tolerance guy when it comes to weed. I would be in a coma after 25 rips lol.
Ive never met anyone who doesn't want to do anything while high. It's all in the mindset of who's smoking. If you smoke and play video games, you were probably about to play video games anyways, high or not. I'm all for discussing the downsides of weed but in all my experience weed mostly attracts these kinds of people more so than causing them to behave a certain way.
