How has smoking improved your life?

[Computer]

before i smoked pot i was an average kid. i stressed easily, i was always anxious, i did have a lot of friends and knew a lot of people. then i smoked, and it made me appreciate my passion even more than i thought was possible. which is music. i played the bass more than i ever have. i started writing music. i kept my friends closer. i started knowing more people and got more popular. people loved me. i got out of the house. i did things. i felt alive. i coped with stress and relationships much better. and it really helped my adhd.

then i quit out of ignorance. (pot is bad, brain damage, fucks up your life)

bullshit ever since ive quit pot ive hit an all time low. i feel worse than i did before pot. i stress and get overwhelmed like a mother fucker just like before i started pot. my adhd is very much present. and im uptight. i hardly leave the house. ive tarnished a lot of relationships with friends and people ive known. i just wasnt chill anymore. ive lost touch with music. though im still in to it. i work hard at it. ive been off pot for 6 years now. im 25.

i compared my life before and after pot and i educated myself about marijuana. and ive decided to start smoking again moderately. thing is, i cant find pot anywhere!! i have a lot of people say "six years and your gonna throw it away? your life sucks after pot? wouldnt you rather have a REAL life and develop good relationships without pot??" and i'd say "well i like pot, you like candy, you like pig skin, you like beaches, i like pot. its my escape, its my medication, its spiritual, it balances me out and it works for me like the beach and candy works for you. pot is in the world naturally for a reason"

lol I was a Straight Edge most of schooling til high school then broke the mold. First was alcohol I vowed never to smoke period cause all the males in my family smoke. I was never the loner or othersider even thought sometimes I felt like that inside. I actually decided to try to it when I was hearing fantastic stories of the out come and also all the good that comes from marijuana. I haven't looked back since. It has made me more out going and less stressed with everyday life. Some people would disagree but I believe that marijuana also helped me when I was depressed. It gave me not a care in the world. It also has helped in my creativity with papers, art projects, or just plain being bored. It has opened new doors for me and now has me thinking outside the plane of reality.

It makes me calm, creative, relaxed, and just balances out my mood. The only negative thing that ever came of smoking for me was eating alot of candy. This lead to a very bad stomach ache.

more relaxed and less nervous/shy
alot of deep and creative thoughts/idea/pictures etc
good times and friends
brought me closer to people

slows you down not in the bad meaning like holding you back just relaxes and calms you alot i think

I think the better question is, how has smoking not improved my life?

It has made all aspects of my life better.

Except the amount of money I have.

That has gone down, but I would pay just about anything for the concentrated greatness.

Marijuana has changed me for the better. The calming effects help me a great amont. I'm not a good test taker when it comes to things related to math or chemistry. I get nervous easily and then make careless mistakes. If I smoke the night before or the morning of a test, I'm relaxed, I keep a cool head, and I do much better. I went from a 3.6GPA to a steady 4.0GPA this year.

I realized from marijuana how selfish I am. When I'm high, I just go with the flow. Nothing bad ever happens, there's an equal and constant exchange of love between my boyfriend and I, and I couldn't want anything else. But I've noticed when I sober up, things have to be my way. Just about all fights and mistakes I've made in my relationship has come from me not being able to just go with the way things are. I have to change them. But when I do, I end up unhappy. I noticed how [overly]generous my boyfriend is and how he's happy with himself, us, and others. He gives all he has and I, without knowing, tax him to give more the way I want.

So Marijuana has changed my outlook on how I should be. I shouldn't worry about how things will end up or how we'll ge there. It's not for me to know nor is it in my power to alter the path we journey on.

What an amazing plant.

I'm not so damn bored all the time. I'm still sane

[1blood1life]

I'm a lot more relaxed, even though I was pretty laid back before. I can focus better. In fact, I took two of my finals a couple days ago completely high, and I'm pretty sure I aced them. I also have Crohn's disease, so it helps a lot with cramping and such. Still keeping fingers crossed for medical mj in Minnesota to finally make me a legal smoker.

Firefighter:
"I'm surprised you got out of there alive, that place was a smoking death trap on fire, how did you pull it off? "

Me:

"Bong + Herb = Trained Lungs Good sir firefighter"

I Appoligize im stoned

Anyway to the op:

I'm not sure, i think more social but then again i've always had friends, and my "Friends" now im not so sure about some of them.. I am way way more relax, i used to have anger issues, but not so much anymore, and i really appreciate nature now.

The negatives:
