I know, I know. This is probably not the best place to post a topic like this, but I just couldn't shake this thought from my head for the past couple of day. I LOVE weed, don't get me wrong, but I've noticed lately that a lot of other drugs have a lot of positive benefits as well as negative side effects. For instance: alcohol. It feels GREAT to be drunk when your in a very sociable environment with other people who are having a beer, or who are buzzed. However, alcohol seems to be the drug most commonly associated with depression, as seen in movies and such when the character will be sipping a drink shortly before committing suicide or something. Recently I've grown more fond of tobacco and alcohol in relationship to weed, because they seem to be friendly to almost everyone. The only point I wish to argue is that good tobacco can really relax you, and a nice beer after a hard day's work is quite relaxing, but (situation permitting) is weed really all that great? Once again, I know im posing this question in a forum based on a community of people who love weed, but my attitude on weed has just been shifting and I want to know all of you guy's and girl's opinions.
I guess it's just not for you man...weed's an amazing thing but everyone reacts differently to it. Smoking relaxes me 10x more than smoking a cig or drinking any day, but thats just me.
I am gonna go out on a limb here and say that Weed in comparison to Tobbacco and Alcohol is completely different. Granted, they are all "mind" altering substances in someway shape or form (not so much tobacco) but Weed does alot of different things for different people. It varies from medicating elderly in pain, to relaxing a man/womans day at work. Even to your daily tokers morning ritual to start his day. Its just something that all of us on here are custom to and I doubt anyone here will speak negatively of our sacred herb. I understand where your coming from though, I think everyones been to the point where they are just like "Why the hell do i smoke so much?". Eventually we find our reasons and keep on toking.
Because alcohol is a way more intense drug. Weed wont really "fuck you up" that much. But I would rather smoke a bowl then drink a few beers any day. Alcohol never has really appealed to me, I've never suggested "hey lets get drunk tonight guys" I'm just always along for the ride in that department. Probably because my dad was/is a borderline alcoholic. just my .02
lol weed makes me uncomftable, but i love being deep in throught n zoney.. iunno like that guy said up there, it has different effects. some people like it some don't
Pretty much why i like it. Alcohol gets me stupid. Ganja does one of two things: makes me think deeper, or fools me into thinking I'm thinking deeper. Either way, I choose the herb.
different ppl like different things. I know of people that prefer alcohol to weed, and vice versa I love them both
All I can say, I smoke cigarettes ALL day at work, but I dont get relaxation or release from stress until I come home and hit the fuckin bong!
Marijuana is the only substance I've taken that genuinely relaxes me in all facets, both physically and mentally. Why people choose alcohol over marijuana is beyond me.
