why do you get high, please share, get it off your chest man youll feel better

I smoke for two reasons. The official reason is back pain caused by a car accident, and it's actually the truth. But, i smoked for 20+ years before that accident because I was basically trained to be addicted to some substance or another by my doctors as a child. I was one of the "hyper active" kids they used as a guinea pig back in the late 60's and early 70's when they first started trying to understand how to deal with kids with ADD, autism, dyslexia, etc. Back then we were all just lumped in together, and they treated us with a variety of different things. I was personally hooked on Ritalin by the time I was 8 years old; then the doctors couldn't understand why I suddenly couldn't function when they took it away when i was 16, and tried a variety of other wonderful substances on me until i finally decided I'd had enough and stopped dealing with them when I hit 18. Took me until about 22 to discover that Marijuana did what every other drug that I had been given failed to do- it calmed me down enough to concentrate, allowed me to deal with people without losing my cool, and generally made me a much easier person for everyone to deal with.

man weed is just the shit
i have got to smoke every day before work at work and during work, i work for a CVS if i dont smoke i cant clock in
it makes me jus forget about all the stupid shit and move on. If somethin irritates me bam few seonds later its gone

I started about a year ago in my senior year..I got smoked out by one of my friends, and then I continued getting smoked out for couple months. I then started buying dubs, and pretty much smoking everyday, then I started slangin, and and smoked an average of 3 blunts a day, now I smoke about an average of 3-4 bowls a day..I stoped smoking in dec 09 for the whole month for no reason, I just got tired of being high everyday. i havent smoked for about 1 and half day because I gotta pass a drug test, trying to get a job that doesnt require running from the cops.

lets see. i was 15. i got in trouble at school for pissing all over the bathroom floor. suspended for 3 days. family giving me shit about grades and random shit. so i hit one of my boys up who i knew smoked dat fire, so i met up with him, and he sparked up a couple of fat bowls with me. i'd say i didnt get full blown high. on a 1 - 5 level system i was on maybe 3. when i sat up my legs felt really light and it felt like i was walking on a big fluffy cloud. and we were parked in middle of the woods, and i thought i was hearing the woods calling to me but i couldnt understand. we left soon after. thats it though.

I just came across it a couple of times, first time i think i was 15 or 16 at a lan party, i just took a fast hit from a joint and i felt good but at the same time paranoid ...after that i didnt wanna do it, not due to the experience..mostly due to that i thought it would make me a dumb addict in no time and on top of that we have alcoholism running in the family tree so i try to keep everything in small moderation...now im 21 and i think it was around 18 months ago i decided do start grow weed with a friend of mine bcuz i wanted more in life then there is and was then....I mean if u have a fuckload of cash u can do exciting stuff all the time and climax in life by doing that...but if u're just a normal dude and wanna have something special in your life there is no better thing then the excitement & fun of growing, dry it, cure it and then sit down in front of your home theatre and watch some kickass movies, get baked, drink some beers and munch some good stuff. I guess it takes the edge out of boredom and make even a boring life enjoyable, makes u not-depressed for some shitty months waiting for a fun summer or whatever.

i smoke cuz it's fun...

much rather have some weed than a bottle of liquor or a six-pack of beer at the house any day......

if u can rememba the first time u smoked weed, u wernt high prob, i started smoking it at 13, life was hard back then, my family could afford literaly no more than food and bills, me and my freinds used to hang out at this skate park down the road, first saw weed at age 5, i think my first puff was at 7, i know pretty young, at 13 my frends were all smoking weed, me n my boy were neighbors, still are, cept we live in the same shitty flat, smoked sum fucked up weed, we dont say the name of strains round ere we jus describe the weed, it was dutch munk, prob a sativa like skunkno1, 2 zoots n a blunt, i pulled a whitey, afta i felt refreshd n shit woz in slowmo, we got sum girls n sum pizza over, smoked alot more weed and i think that was my second time havin sex(wish i remembrd that vividly as the rest of the night)next mornin woke up in my bredrens bed with a sexy white blond nex 2 me, smoked weed almost evryday since then, i cant believe my parets dont know, ive got friggin dreadlocks.
bad part was constantly gettin cautions wen the feds took our weed, now i gotta pretend to reform so i can go uni. hope u liked my story, theres way more to it thats it shortened.

Why? It makes the pain less. Opiate intolerant. For 20 years I thought pain killers were supposed to make you vomit. This doesn't.

Marijuana for pain. It may not go away but you no longer care. BTW I've now stopped needing a support cane due to the ability to exercise some. Couldn't before. LOVE THIS STUFF!

hahahha...happens to me all the time.......

My mum lost interest in me, so I started smoking weed... Not blaming her, but it was nice to feel nice again, that was 21 years ago...Introduced to it by my older sister...

My first time I just straight up bought an 8th and started smoking. That was at what 15 or something. At 16 I was smoking regularly and buying zips. At 17 I was smoking everyday and hustlin. Now at 18 I smoke around 4 blunts a day and move weight along with grow trees. Pretty quick progression haha. I wonder what the next 3 years will have in store for me...whatever it is it's lookin good so far...

Damn I know how that is... My moms was an alcoholic from ever since I could remember. I lived with her alone. Shit was rough had to do most things myself. Didn't spend much time with other peep cause of her. No rides and stuff. No love shit was fucked. All good now though haha!

i started smokeing purley out of intrest... now ive been smokeing everyday for the last 3 yrs. i like it cus it helps you see the world from a different veiw... a view that may make you seem lazy but i think its stoners only do what they wanna do not what they should or necissarily have to do

I just read through all the posts on this thread. I see a lot of emotional pain suffered by many of you. Physical pain too.
And I feel for ya. Just keep on keeping on brotha's and sisters. It's all we can do.

Really don't know which one is harder to deal with. I've been able to shut down some horrific physical pain in my day, ya know, the kind that makes ya pass out?

I started in 1969 out of curiosity and have been involved in more aspects of the plant than you can imagine. From both sides of the Law.

I smoke it now because I cannot handle pharmy's and I still suffer from pain.
Excruciating pain, bone and nerve damage from a variety of incidents. Swear to dog it's true. Here's a picture of just one of my many brushes with the Reaper. Did you know that he has a first name? Swear it's the truth.. We've hung out a time or two and me being the hardheaded, oxygen lovin Jarhead that I am, well sir, let's just say Him and I have come to an agreement of sorts.

Now when I was seven my mother died. I was the middle son and my baby sister was 1 yr old. And my old man was the meanest friggin drunk in a 5 state area. Six foot 7 and a rock solid 270. For some reason my father never really did like me. I'm the only one that went to a school with black eyes or busted lips from what I would claim were falls or clumsiness. Worst time I failed to pick up my younger brother from one of his friends house. When I did walk in, my old man knocked out all my front teeth, uppers and lowers, with a sucker punch. Dropped me like a sack of potatoes. When I got up off the floor I gathered a few things threw em in a garbage sack and went to the hospital to get my mouth fixed.

I finished high school living with a variety of friends. Moving from couch to couch. House to house. Longest I stayed with one friend was a month. Graduated early and signed up with the Corps and got my act together, mentally and physically. Spent the next 27 years in and only went to my fathers house once since he dropped me. I believe I was 24 at the time. I simply rang his doorbell and when he answered the door I began to beat the living shit out this Sonafabitch. He went down and I kept at it til felt the shot and heard the boom.

His girlfriend popped me with a friggin 9. Went to court, did some time served, got into a shitload of trouble with the Corps but worked things out. Courts Martial, lost rank and pay and restricted to base for 6 months.

But you know what? I always had a little bit of the good shit. I could always get "da Kine" if you know what I mean (wink, wink).

Now I use it to help with the physical pain and the mental strain. And I get very creative when I'm HIGH. I chase that damn buzz 19, 20 hours a day. I'm lit from the time I roll outta my bed til I flop back down to sleep. And I get a lot of shit done. Red ain't got no "Honey-Do" list for me. It's usually done before she gets up.

No matter the reason you use the plant, know this,,,,,

You have receptors built into your brain to absorb the cannabinoids.

Not for Alcohol. Not tobacco. Not pharmy's.

Imagine that, receptors built into your brain just waiting for you to deliver the goodies. And only one way to do it. Cannabis.

Sorry for the long ass winnded prattle, I have warned all that the thoughts in my head are a dangerous thing.

My name is Boomer and yes, I get HIGH.

I smoke because I like it. I have been smoking dope for 40 years and have no intention of stopping.

Majority of my family smoked around me when i was young, and i mean constantly. We are our own little marijuana community. I wondered what it was all about one day, about 14, stole a half a doobie from my dads tray....been smokin ever since. 8 years and still goin'........good times

yea i may smoke weed but i also like to do other things than just smoke weed like fish, hunt, play sports and lots of other fun shit. marijuana just gives you the full effect of all these things.

I was like 10 and I had a stepbrother who I thought was so cool and shit you know how that goes haha. And we just went out on the back porch and he lit up. back then i was scared of getting busted and lung cancer and all that shit. but i took one hit and it burned the hell out of my throat and i hated it. I was around it a couple more times but didnt even touch it. when I was a bit older i wanted to grow pot just to sell it. I figured i could buy some shit and just take the seeds out. So I spent some money on 1/2 ounce and the seeds where all black and busted open. i said fuck it, and just smoked it up, that was my first real experience with mrs. mary. No friends with me or anything though. i loved the feeling I got after a little while.. it was just a total lack of reality. nothing seemed real, and my worries went away.. No more BS either. i get a brief escape that helps me get past some of my problems. so thats why I toke it up a few times a month. hopefully us growers can harvest some of that sticky icky late this year
