BigPleb: Weed - Good For Anxiety?

BigPleb 10.07.14	Pretty sure I'm not the only one who has this haha.
tempest-- 10.07.14	sm0k
zakalwe 10.07.14	Can't you just do what other scousers do and nick car parts for skag. Once the dependency kicks in you'll be anxious as hell. Vicious circle dude, don't do it Plebster.
BigPleb 10.07.14	Weed itself is not addictive though, is it? I don't smoke tobacco with my weed, just pure weed.
osmark86 10.07.14	if it makes it easier for you to deal with anxiety and reach long term solutions, then sure, I suppose it works for you. however by the sound of it it isn't exactly doing that is it?
LambsBread 10.07.14	"Recently, I've been noticing that when I'm blazed I feel all remnants of my anxiety seamlessly fade away, only to return later when I am 'sober' again." I think you are looking at it the wrong way. It's because you have smoked weed in the recent past (a week or so) that makes you feel anxiety when you are without weed. "" Does weed help an individual deal with anxiety or does it just cause further problems?"" Both. It will both relieve anxiety and cause further problems like paranoia/awkwardness, short term memory loss, and laziness. Plus it costs a lot of dinero
minty901 10.07.14	just go to a fucking doctor and get some professional advice about your anxiety.
BigPleb 10.07.14	Na Lambs, I've had anxiety problems for the past 4-5 years. I'm already on Citalopram and am seeking professional help regardless.
osmark86 10.07.14	have him try other medication on you if it's not working. anxiety is complicated and doctors pretty much have to "guess" medications for each patient.
BigPleb 10.07.14	@osmark I go to a psychiatrist every Friday.
osmark86 10.07.14	I edited my comment after I read yours..
demigod! 10.07.14	go to a doctor [2] for sure. self medication is a cold, long road. and smoking weed might seem like it's helping at first, but in the long run it can just cause problems (financial, social, even psychological in some cases). but everyone is different so, yeah. I'd say go see a doc if anxiety's this bad of an issue for you.
BigPleb 10.07.14	Ye sorry man, was a bit quick there. That's what the doctor said, there are many different types of medications as generalised anxiety is different social anxiety etc.
demigod! 10.07.14	have you floated the idea of using marijuana to deal with it to your shrink?
zakalwe 10.07.14	Fucking hell Plebster.
BigPleb 10.07.14	Well that's what I'm on about, when I'm high all the worry just flows outta me and I feel completely relaxed with my friends.
Deathconscious 10.07.14	i smoked regularly in high school and like a year after that. had to quit because i started getting panic attacks every time i smoked. since then ive only smoked while fairly inebriated, seems to be the only time i dont freak out.
Muisc4Life26 10.07.14	Nah dude! Drink some tea, paint, listen to music, go on a walk, hang out with your friends. That kind of stuff you need to do.
Jamatha 10.07.14	I find weed potentiates whatever im feeling. Whilst on SSRI medication i didnt find it caused to much anxiety ( probably because i was more 'stable' ).... but when i came off medication it just gave me panic attacks so i'm avoiding it now. Please dont kid yourself into thinking it'll help with anything mental, the evidence of weed helping with mental health is normally found in medicinal strains that provide little, if any recreational effect.
BigPleb 10.07.14	Drink some tea [2] Agreed on that one.
manosg 10.07.14	"Once the dependency kicks in you'll be anxious as hell. Vicious circle dude" Drugs just cover up the problems man. I know that it's a fucking pain but finding what is causing you the anxiety and work on that sober is the solution for me.
BigPleb 10.07.14	Yeah you could definitely argue that, much like when you're drunk you feel awesome then the next day its just back to the same old shit.
zakalwe 10.07.14	The problems of modern life that lead to anxiety are fuckin ridiculous. People are mod-die coddled to such an extent our coping mechanisms have withered to nothing. Soft as fuckin shite.
BigPleb 10.07.14	So you are basically saying people with anxiety should just 'man up'?
Rowan5215 10.07.14	I love you zak but that doesn't change the fact that you're a fucking idiot of the first degree sometimes
zakalwe 10.07.14	I just don't get it dude. We live in a world where at the touch of a button you can see someone's head being cut off or someone fucking a corpse and yet people fall to pieces returning a library book. Something went wrong.
BigPleb 10.07.14	Well what you need to 'get' is that anxiety is an illness, not something that can simply be ignored.
tempest-- 10.07.14	and weed is your medicine
zakalwe 10.07.14	It's not an illness though is it, it's a set of circumstances that bring about a particular physical and mental state. I nearly offed meself 12yrs ago. That wasn't an illness that was an issue exasperated through circumstances.
omnipanzer 10.07.14	Weed is good for anything right up until you trade it in for living a life.
BigPleb 10.07.14	Anxiety is hereditary throughout your bloodline, therefore its a potentially inherited disease.
Deathconscious 10.07.14	@zak holy fuck youre clueless.
zakalwe 10.07.14	I'm the first to admit I'm clueless dude. I'm here for the discussion and to understand things a bit better.
tommygun 10.07.14	may i refer you to a different website then? :D
ButteryBiscuitBass 10.07.14	I'd like to say yes. It always used to calm me down. However, now I barely blaze I am a lot more creative, alert and active.
tommygun 10.07.14	ever since you switched to coke eh butters?
zakalwe 10.07.14	Course you are butters.
ButteryBiscuitBass 10.07.14	Fuck off, lads. I'm bass parts away from finishing my first album, so fuck you. I've been right on it and very productive. Haven't done cocaine for a while either.
tommygun 10.07.14	good to hear it pal drop a link on us when you're done, would love to hear yr tunes
tempest-- 10.07.14	and beautiful singing voice
zakalwe 10.07.14	What it called dude? Tony Montana lightweight blues?
ButteryBiscuitBass 10.07.14	Ha-de-ha
insomniac15 10.07.14	It ain't good for anxiety on the long run. I smoked a lot for 4 years and developed anxiety attacks. I wasn't aware of the fact for like half a year because I was always stoned lol. Now I kinda quit smoking weed because of them.
EnyaFangirl 10.07.14	I dunno, it changed me for the better. Used to be deathly afraid of going out in public but I had so much fun doing that high so that fear eventually became nothing.
bakkermaarten007 10.07.14	If you want an increased chance of psychosis, then yes smoke weed and have the worst anxiety you'll ever have.
bakkermaarten007 10.07.14	What you do with your Citalopram intake and weed consuming is just elevating the symptoms. As long as you don't change your pattern of thoughts, nothing will change. I'm speaking out of experience here. I've had very bad social anxiety/ agoraphobia for 3-4 years. Now it's manageable and rare. I've researched so enormously much on the subject and read books like 'When Panic Attacks'. The benzo's should never be anything more than just a tool.
Gyromania 10.07.14	i really hate looking at these threads. it's unbelievable how much ignorance there is itt. increased chance of psychosis? give me a break. you must pursue the soft sciences
bakkermaarten007 10.07.14	That is actually hard science. But suit yourself. (speaking of ignorance and bigotry...tsss)
Gyromania 10.07.14	it's guesswork at best. there is no definitive correlation, just fear-mongering
bakkermaarten007 10.07.14	There is a correlation, whether you want to deny it or not.
Gyromania 10.07.14	no, there isn't. there's only studies that suggest adolescents may be prone to psychosis down the line if they smoke regularly, but again, there is nothing concrete about it. if the link were proven to be fact, the war on drugs would be forcing it down our throats. because of this 'study' there's a gross misconception that casual smokers are susceptible to mental disorders
AnimalsAsSummit 10.07.14	it depends on the person; it can make you less anxious or more. anxiety is abstract and isn't physiological necessarily so its up to the person's state of subjectivity
bakkermaarten007 10.07.14	Correlation is not the same as direct correlation. Read: there's an inherent higher risk of developing psychoses (or other disorders) by smoking weed. Not: you will develop psychoses by smoking weed. People who want to take that risk and already suffer from anxiety or other psychological disorders: be my guest.
Gyromania 10.07.14	weed increases heart rate, as do panic attacks. if a person were to smoke too much pot and they were prone to anxiety, the actual panic attack coupled with the increased heart rate from smoking could induce tachycardia and exacerbate the symptoms of anxiety. the important thing to note in these situations is that it isn't physiological, but rather psychological. dehydration could also play a role, so my suggestion to you if you smoke too much is: make sure and consume enough water and remind yourself that it's mostly in your head and will pass shortly
AnimalsAsSummit 10.07.14	is there a higher risk than those who don't partake in any substances though? many people are responsible for their own psychosis; from personal experience (at the very least) it seems psychotic behavior is about equivalent in terms of occurring in people who drink alcohol/ smoke weed on occasion and people who are straight completely. ive also read that cannabis is antipsychotic, and in reality, this is also an issue that's a subjective judgement call based on one's definition of "psychotic behavior"
Gyromania 10.07.14	bakker: there is not an 'inherent' higher risk. you don't even know much about the study you're referencing. it posits that adolescents (key demographic here) could potentially (note they have to use words such as 'could' and 'might') lead to psychological problems if copious amounts are consumed after x amount of time. until the soft sciences can produce something more than armchair pondering, i'll stick to the sciences i know. like chemistry and biology, both of which i know a fair bit about
Gyromania 10.07.14	pretty sure there isn't one definitive case of anyone exhibiting symptoms of psychosis from marijuana use, not that it would be easy to correlate the two, there are other environmental and medical reasons behind someone's mental deterioration that a lot of war against drug advocates conveniently like to skip over to have more ammunition for their facetious campaign. weed has been used as a military weapon so as to pacify soldiers. so like, the opposite of psychotic behavior
AnimalsAsSummit 10.07.14	i think the best argument for 'puttin down da bud' is to cite the carcinogens that can come from smoking it
guitarded_chuck 10.07.14	"it depends on the person; it can make you less anxious or more. anxiety is abstract and isn't physiological necessarily so its up to the person's state of subjectivity" this it's gets complicated in that the effects of weed are also complex, depending on mood, dose, frequency of use, etc etc. it definitely helps some people. it's prescribed for ptsd. it's part of the reason why it's prescribed for people with chronic illness.
Gyromania 10.07.14	yah, but weed can't be blamed for a smoker's blatant lack of regard for his/her health. clean your devices regularly, because weed barely paralyzes the cilia and the most common respiratory issue is bronchitis. this is why i prefer vaping. not many, if any, detriments there
mindleviticus 10.07.14	I got over my anxiety with weed. When I first smoked it for a bit I was anxious and paranoid, and it started making me depressed, but you just have to realize that it's only the drug that's affecting you and your anxiety will diminish.
BigPleb 10.07.14	I also find that weed helps my asthma and frees up my airways, very strange.
Gyromania 10.07.14	regardless of any respiratory problems (again, many times the smoker's fault), weed is a more beneficial medicinal drug than just about any other on the planet. it's constantly brought into question because of its perceived long-term psychological effects - claims that are yet to be justified. the funny thing is, people seldom argue about the drugs known to kill thousands upon thousands of people every year: drugs as common as over-the-counter painkillers. people like railing on weed because it's controversial and more political than most other drugs that are infinitely worse but rarely brought into question
guitarded_chuck 10.07.14	"I got over my anxiety with weed. When I first smoked it for a bit I was anxious and paranoid, and it started making me depressed, but you just have to realize that it's only the drug that's affecting you and your anxiety will diminish." yeah it can help in this way too, which is strange. it can make you face your fears and paranoia and realize they are fake, which you learn to translate into your everyday normal sober life.
Gyromania 10.07.14	bigpleb: that's because it will. on top of about a dozen other benefits like mellowing out when you have to deal with ignorant, frustrating people, it's a bronchodilator. it also opens the veins in the nasal passage to help you breathe easier, especially beneficial if you're suffering from allergies and finding that the only thing benedryl is good for is inducing sleep and making you feel groggy for hours on end
Gyromania 10.07.14	"I got over my anxiety with weed. When I first smoked it for a bit I was anxious and paranoid, and it started making me depressed, but you just have to realize that it's only the drug that's affecting you and your anxiety will diminish." basically the same thing i said
AnimalsAsSummit 10.07.14	agreed. but if naysayers wish to discount the plant inherently, id say thats the only way they can go (to bring up the potential harm of smoking). the studies regarding psychosis are intentionally vague
FadeToBlack 10.07.14	Smoking weed to help ease your anxiety is all well and good, but it's a temporary fix that masks the real issue. If you do genuinely have issues with anxiety (and there's absolutely no shame in that, it can happen to anyone), you should speak to your doctor.
AnimalsAsSummit 10.07.14	^^^^^ yes this haaaarrrrrrrddddd
Gyromania 10.07.14	all doctors are going to do is refer you to a therapist or give you xanax. so, basically switching out one drug for another. problem with alprazolam is you get just as many adverse effects, arguably more. the same fatigue and respiratory problems are likely to remain, as well as ataxia and speech problems. unfortunately you don't get any of the positives that you get from weed
FadeToBlack 10.07.14	What's wrong with seeing a psychologist or therapist for CBT?
Gyromania 10.07.14	i suppose it may benefit some. at any rate it's harmless to at least try. i've found nothing but disappointment myself
zakalwe 10.07.14	You can have all the studies, statistics and science you need. Nothing equates to empiric experience. I have had friends sectioned as a result of 'weed psychosis' That is straight down the line, direct, hard concrete fact.
Jots 10.07.14	I've had a couple bad trips, so not always lol. Sometimes if I smoke weed with people I don't know that well I get super anxious and need to leave :/
Gyromania 10.07.14	zak: that rationale is a dead-end. as weak and groundless as the watch maker analogy. experience=/= medical fact. 'weed psychosis' is a bullshit diagnosis missing other factors, whether they be hereditary, environmental, or otherwise
Riviere 10.07.14	"Weed Psychosis" It's possible, but only if you're a pussy.
zakalwe 10.07.14	Yep there are contributing factors but would it manifest itself in the ways it did if not for the gear? The abuse of alcohol has the same mental effect in the long run, the fucking horrors that shite does to ya is hell but it's still brought about by whacking drink down your neck.
guitarded_chuck 10.07.14	"Smoking weed to help ease your anxiety is all well and good, but it's a temporary fix that masks the real issue." no, this is not necessarily the case just like any other meds, it gives you a look at life without the cloud of anxiety, and in time you learn to brush it away, and can do it without the drug
Gyromania 10.07.14	alcohol actually does damage to the brain though and actually kills brain cells, unlike weed
ZombieParty 10.07.14	weed can give you schizophrenia
FadeToBlack 10.07.14	"just like any other meds, it gives you a look at life without the cloud of anxiety, and in time you learn to brush it away, and can do it without the drug" Which is why I recommended seeing a medical professional so that he could get a referall to a psychologist.
bakkermaarten007 10.07.14	"...remind yourself that it's mostly in your head and will pass shortly" That's the funniest thing I've read in weeks tbh. Every person with some kind of phobia for instance KNOWS that it's all in their head, knows that their fear is irrational. So it is very funny you say that, and I can imagine a little insulting to those who suffer from it. (as I would have been insulted when I had anxiety at my worst)
bakkermaarten007 10.07.14	It's also annoying how you keep trying to refute scientific findings. Oh well.
zakalwe 10.07.14	Now I'm no scientist, neurosurgeon, drug user, biologist, psychologist, alcoholic, analyst, care worker, dr or medical professional....but what I think is (:D) doesn't weed have some sort of effect on brain function through direct manipulation of receptors in the cerebellum.
ZombieParty 10.07.14	shouldn't smoke weed if your brain isn't fully developed either
Gyromania 10.07.14	i suffer from severe anxiety. i speak from experience. being cognizant of the fact that you have a mental disorder doesn't necessarily make said disorder any easier to cope with, nor did i ever claim it did, i was speaking strictly of the effects of being high while suffering an anxiety attack pertaining to tachycardia. unfortunately when you're suffering from an alarmingly fast heart rate due to innate anxiety and the effects of marijuana, the best remedy really is to remember that the feeling will pass, unless you can prescribe something better. but now that you're mocking i'm guessing you're no longer interested in debating
bakkermaarten007 10.07.14	""Weed Psychosis" It's possible, but only if you're a pussy." oh wow...
BigPleb 10.07.14	@Fade Sorry man, I stated earlier I am already seeing a psychiatrist every Friday and have been taking Citalopram for a few weeks now.
Gyromania 10.07.14	i'm refuting scientific findings? that's funny, since you haven't contributed anything scientific to the entire conversation. i'm willing to bet i know a hell of a lot more about biology and chemistry than you. i've written many essays on the subject and spent countless hours researching on my spare time the effects of weed
FadeToBlack 10.07.14	Ok cool, I hope you start feeling better soon.
bakkermaarten007 10.07.14	"but now that you're mocking i'm guessing you're no longer interested in debating" This isn't a real debate. Debating implicits trying to convince someone of their own opposing opinion. It's kind of hard to debate science. You've established that yo try to 'justify' weed usage by providing me with counter scientific evidence, which you hope would falsify mine. But I'm not trying to do falsify or justify either of stances about weed. I merely hope to warn others about the potential risk it carries. Weed is not as innocent as many make it out to be.
zakalwe 10.07.14	I'm with ya man
bakkermaarten007 10.07.14	" i'm willing to bet i know a hell of a lot more about biology and chemistry than you. i've written many essays on the subject and spent countless hours researching on my spare time the effects of weed" That's cool and may be true. But it doesn't make you right however. (authority fallacy)
Jots 10.07.14	errbody ITT needs to blaze asap
Gyromania 10.07.14	if you aren't trying to establish your point and use scientific data against me while i'm using it against you, then you're openly admitting defeat. how can you warn others about 'potential risks' when you don't have any research or experience (witnesses friends or family doesn't count) to merit your soft sciences crap
bakkermaarten007 10.07.14	If only a few find some value in my comments, I have not 'lost' (lol). Enjoy your weed
ZombieParty 10.07.14	http://www.talktofrank.com/drug/cannabis
Gyromania 10.07.14	too right, my friend - that's exactly the reason we have things like religion. keep spreading the good word
Gyromania 10.07.14	that link is funny. "Cannabis can mess with your body. Tobacco and cannabis share some of the same chemical 'nasties', so, like smoking tobacco, smoking cannabis can make asthma worse, can cause wheezing in people without asthma and can even lead to lung cancer." absolutely not true. weed has been proven to be a bronchodilator and shown to expand lung capacity in some (due to holding in deep breaths), and there isn't a single case of lung cancer.
ZombieParty 10.07.14	haha you're in denial
zakalwe 10.07.14	The inhalation of smoke directly into the lungs is an obvious benefit.
danielito19 10.07.14	Cannabis has personally helped with my anxiety. If I feel an anxiety attack and am in a position where I am able to smoke, I can prevent said panic attack. During periods where I smoke regularly, I feel less anxious in general. Prescription drugs used to treat anxiety often have worse side effects than those of cannabis. Cannabis does not "cause" schizophrenia - it merely exacerbates ALREADY PRESENT SYMPTOMS. aka don't smoke if you have schizo/family history of schizo. Plus many prescriptions are very very addictive. In the end, Pleb, talk to a therapist. Everyone ITT arguing about the safety of weed: link each other to reputable papers, and actually read opposing side's papers. stop bullshitting.
bakkermaarten007 10.07.14	Gyromania, an ardent Kanye fan and a weed lobbyist. Can this be true? Edit: apparently not. Mistaken you for fish. Like most things that seem too good to be true, it isn't.
MO 10.07.14	if you still come to canada lets meet up, talk metal and all your anxiety will cease to be
LepreCon 10.07.14	On a scale of 1 to 10, what's your favourite colour of the alphabet?
Gyromania 10.07.14	zak: marijuana smoke is light and barely paralyzes the cilia. asthma is an inflammatory disease and marijuana is an anti-inflammatory. do the math
bakkermaarten007 10.07.14	The lungs basically crave marihuana smoke.
BigPleb 10.07.14	Lemay has the answer to all m/
Mongi123 10.07.14	Aww didn't know you had anxiety pleb :/ I know how you feel I have pretty bad anxiety. I've found that if I smoke just the right amount that all of my troubles go away and with the help of my friends it all goes away. But if I smoke too much then I get a little anxious. Like I get the feeling I need to throw up but I never do haha
zakalwe 10.07.14	Only barely paralyses the cilia? Well that's comforting.
TheNexus100 10.07.14	yea weed helps anxiety man
climactic 10.07.14	my brother has extreme anxiety and depression and other stuff and as far as i know, weed helps him more than any of the meds he's on. however he seems pretty dependent on it, hes high like all the time. make of that what you will
renxo 10.07.14	weed can actually make anxiety worse for some people. it is probably best to go see a doctor that you trust for the best advice.
EnyaFangirl 10.07.14	There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz and swing, result from marijuana usage. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers and any others.
Mongi123 10.07.14	"The problems of modern life that lead to anxiety are fuckin ridiculous." Zak, I love ya, but this type of attitude is a problem. It's not ridiculous at all it's actually very normal and anxiety is one of the most common illnesses people suffer from. Speaking from experience, telling someone to "man up" or "grow a pair" only makes it worse.
BigPleb 10.07.14	Its completely useless advice imo, its like telling someone who's upset that its 'gonna be alright'. Its fucking useless and is just an easy thing to say in hopes of changing the subject/topic.
Mongi123 10.07.14	@Arcade Well that's good that it worked for you but just because it happened to work for you doesn't make it universally good advice. Sometimes it's just not that simple unfortunately.
zakalwe 10.07.14	I'm taking it all on board Mongi bro. I don't intend to be an arse, more often than not I just struggle to understand the yoof.
FadeToBlack 10.07.14	http://i.imgur.com/CWFTYoV.png I believe this is relevant
frigyourgenre 10.07.14	weed causes anxiety attacks for me lol
Knave 10.07.14	When you've had a rough day, smoke some weed. When you've had a rough year, seek some therapy.
Mongi123 10.07.14	"Have you tried...you know...not having the flu?" LOL fucking died. @Zak it's all good man. I know Arcade said that type of advice worked for him but I find that unusual. When you you are in a situation, like me, where mental/emotional exhaustion is what gives you the anxiety in the first place, it's just terrible advice. The problem is deeper and I can't seem to break out of it :/
zakalwe 10.07.14	See this is the the thing I have been there when it comes to mental health. I really was in a suicidal state having been in the depths of depression, which is a genetic thing in the family. Absolutely nothing anyone did or said helped one bit and it was tortuous but through support, step by step goals presenting hope to cling onto somehow I climbed out of it and despite getting 'the blues' I've never been back to them dark days. However, things get tagged, diagnosed, remedied, medicated, networks set up for, helplines plugged in, spoken in the open, labelled as taboo, swept under the carpet, empathised with, misunderstood and pontificated about till the fuckin cows come home when the reality is. Life is fuckin hard, nobodies normal, everybody has something deemed irregular by somebody who themselves is a mess. Don't fuckin worry about it. Let's all dig in, take a breath and truck on.
Jots 10.07.14	y'all should listen to the new A Winged Victory for the Sullen album :^)
Mongi123 10.07.14	You know what, amen to that zak. Sometimes the mindset of don't worry about it works for me. I only wish it would work everyday and I haven't found a way to make it work yet. I guess the first thing I need to do is stop diagnosing myself with shit.
betray 10.07.14	I used to smoke all the time when I was 15-16... now anytime i've smoked in the past 2-3 years i've gotten nothing but paranoia
zakalwe 10.07.14	Classic.
JokineAugustus 10.07.14	Pretty intense thread. I haven't tried weed enough, nor intend to, to know the benefits and consequences of prolonged use. I've heard of people relying on it to relieve stress or make them feel happy though, which makes it quite uninviting. Pretty sure the effects are quite different on everyone though. When I was high, I felt alert, concentrated, and motivated. I just don't want to use it more and feel like I need to rely on it to achieve feeling that way.
Mongi123 10.07.14	Dude if you have self control you won't rely on it. I don't "need" it nor do I smoke it every single day(mostly once a week, sometimes even less) but it helps and its fun. It's my friend I rely on the most for fun and relief. I can't thank them enough.
climactic 10.07.14	dependence relies on your personality as well as the reasons you smoke. if youre smoking because its the only way you can relax and not be anxious (like my brother as stated above), you could become dependent. on the other hand, i have friends who love just love smoking and havent gone a day without it in years and dont bother going out/doing stuff unless theyre high. its kind of sad, and im happy i never reached that point despite years of smoking basically every day. basically if you reach the point where you need to smoke to enjoy life, its time to reevaluate.
EnyaFangirl 10.07.14	Ye clim has it right, the reasons why you're smoking it are one of the major players. I always associated weed with what I look forward too after a long day at work so eventually it got to the point where that's (mostly) the only time I'm really in the mood to be high. I still haven't taken any steps towards ending my tic-tac and chewing gum dependency through..
BigPleb 10.07.14	Thanks for the advice guys, most of it has been free of ignorance and genuinely helpful. Regardless, gonna sm0k up tonight hehe.
Mongi123 10.07.14	Lol, smoke up dude. No harm in doing it once in a while anyway. It's pretty fun if did just the right amount.
climactic 10.07.14	"I always associated weed with what I look forward too after a long day at work so eventually it got to the point where that's (mostly) the only time I'm really in the mood to be high. " basically this, i dont understand people who enjoy going to work/class high, seems like such a waste.
Insurrection 10.07.14	weed usually makes me more paranoid so im gonna say no
Mongi123 10.07.14	Yea weed generally makes me do everything slower and I act like a goddamn goofball so I'd be noticeable/less enjoyable at work and school.

TheSpaceMan 10.07.14	weed pushes out my anxiety hard, too bad I smoke it every damn night
musicisawasteoftime 10.07.14	Here is my experience: I smoke weed everyday. I do it for the reduced anxiety and because it helps my ADHD. I could not survive finals week without winding down with a puff puff puff. If you are using weed as a blanket for the problems you have in your life...then it obviously can be a problem. But sitting in your room spinning records by yourself could also be a blanket, or playing to much video games, or watching netflix in bed....point is if you dont wanna face your aniexity weed isnt the only tool to brush it aside. That being said...If you can handle weed and also be able face your life problems...PUFF PUFF PUFF PUFF away.
