Kek 4 month old thread ftw!

First. Weed just kind of enhances whatever you happen to be doing. I think the reason it does this is as follows
Lets say for months i played x game. You kind of get imune to it after a while and it gets dull. Then you smoke a fat sack and it shifts how you see things. Suddenly that old game is totally differant.
That said. It's kind of like a game i sometimes play called second life. what is it? good question. It's very hard to "get" unless you've seen it. Same thing with being high but even more so.
Now to the "you're teh devil!1" loons out there. You can talk when you stop smoking, drinking, taking happy pills, and stop listening to/watching anything that was in any way influenced by drugs. So this exludes pretty much anyone but some monks from saying a damn thing and if a wise old monk has something to say i'd gladly listen
Second.
To the MH Pro!11?/
Weed isn't like those zombie fucking happy pills.
Weed isn't like crazy binge drinking
Weed isn't addicting(in the "oh shit i think i'm dying because i'm out *vomit*" sense)
At the end of a hard long and stressfull day it takes the edge off and lets you sleep in peace. Also does a bit to numb the pain from all the shit your body went through at work.
If you are in a situation that you can not change. Trying to change it and nothing happening just puts you in a worse mood. Trust me i've been there.
Sometimes you are just fucked for a while and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it. Stress and anger build up over this situation and the harder you try to think of a way past the speed bump the more upset you get because you see just how fine the net is.
In this situation weed can be a godsend. you could
A. sit around all day and think about how fucked you are
B. try to change the situation which wont work all the time and get even more upset about or even make the situation worse
C. Smoke some damn weed and wait it out. Might even think of something you haven't tried yet or atleast come up with a good exit plan.
D. Pay some jackass doctor far far out the ass for some zombie pills.
mr MH Pro!11 can try and shoot this down all fucking day if he wants but i've been truely fucked many times in the past and exist on thin ice even now. I've been there you haven't. Take off your white coat and go starve for 2 weeks and live in your damn car then come back and tell me what does and doesn't help recover/deal with being in a hard spot.
And to the complete dumbass that's about to say "Why buy weed instead of spending that on fooodzor?!?1 stupid junky!11"
Here's what the situation was
1. Had low paying shit job but it payed the bills.
2. Decided the job was pretty stable so i bought a carton of cigs and a sack of weed so i wouldn't have to keep running out and getting them all the time
3. Jackass Guy that ran the company tells us in his drive way one day that "he was moving to canada to install speakers. good luck" and that was the last we heard of him
4. Decided to make the best of what i had and chain smoked cigs instead of eating the food i didn't have. After a bit i couldn't smoke weed because it made me hungry and i was out of food. I had a tiny bit of money stashed but i was just starting out in a new city.
5. Lost apartment due to lack of funds and lived in my beat up old car untill i got paid from the job i snagged.
Now all this to say fuck you people and your pills. It's not a good idea in general to use any substance to escape your problems long term but weed works as a wonderfull buffer and in some situation will keep you sane. Even after i got the new job i didn't get paid for 2 weeks. Guess if i thought about not having money or food hard enough some would of popped out my ass?
Or even better if i had some pills i could of not given a shit that i just lost my income and spent even more money trying to deal with it and then needed the pills even after i got things fixed because if i stopped i would be fucked.
