Why do you Smoke?

1. It makes me happy
2. I like the smell
3. It helps me eat (I'm not a big eater)

I thought of another reason that I like the MJ so much. Has anyone noticed that it keeps them more um... regular? I feel like I have to take a #2 before I smoke for the 1st time of the day. Just oversharing.

PS - It would be perfect if my wife would drink alcohol one night and I smoked some pot. The sex would be awesome.

general and social anxiety disorders, bi-polar, intermittent explosive, schitzoaffective disorder, gastroenteritis, arthritis and degenerative joints, migraines, anti-social, borderline, slightly paranoid, and I like it.

I hope there are more people willing to share. Maybe I could rename the thread AssDan's ode to pot. I love it because when it lowers my inhibitions, I give myself some good comedy for later use. I was at the gym last night, and after I got out of the shower, I walked to the front desk. I really liked the locker room and started asking about the fixtures. Things like; I like your waterless urinals. Those mirrors are really nice. I like the lighting. Are they LEDs? Where can I get one? I was laughing inside because the girl behind the counter had no idea what to say. I seem to cross a line into intelligent absurdity when I'm high. It's a place I love to be. One of the many reasons I smoke.

Smoke for the calm at the end of the day,the winedown,on the weekdays,on the weekends it starts between 4:20 and 5:00 pm sometimes earlier.

Marijuana helps me stay in tune with everything around me, it inspires me to live a deeper life. Marijuana makes me think outside of the box when i work, it elevates me to a higher level of thinking(pun intended). I also believe marijuana allows me the ability to think more humbly, again, outside of the box, from lets say a fly on the wall point of view. Analyzing not only my position, but others.

Word up, took the words right out of my mouth. I feel like I can analyze things so much better while high. I sit and look at things with a different perspective which humbles and amazes me. Plus your almost guaranteed to get a good laugh or two while high haha.

because its one of life's beautiful treasures, that I like to enjoy while I still can.

I second this as well. I feel like it makes me more creative and open to new ideas. I agree with the laughs too. More creativity = more funny.

Examples of things I've said over the past days while high:

This holiday display smells like a gingerbread man took a shit here.
This coffee tastes like licking an oatmeal stout's asshole.

There are many more, but they are not at the top (or bottom) of my head. Some may not find this funny, but this is my sense of humor. Regardless, I don't think anyone on this forum doesn't like some sweet smoke.

lol some good quotes right there. Irony/sarcasm get me rolling everytime.

Good thread to start. Well for me it was a gradual process of trying weed with friends, I wasnt a big drinker, but drinking can cause serious problems in your life not only with DUI's but becoming addicted to it. The one good thing is it not illegal so you cant get in trouble by simply using it. Though cannabis is illegal for enjoyment use its much safer in many different ways to alcohol. For one it doesn't impair you while driving. It doesn't have a strong addiction properties no more then caffeine, it doesn't cause cancer and it makes you feel good if you grow it it virtually costs you nothing. i probably started smoking weed and it stopped me from drinking unknowingly I never drink anymore i haven drank is a year without realizing I haven been drinking till I realized i have not drank in so long and weed has gotten me off of drinking. I like it more the high is better it quicker. i have so much to go to try all the strains and to live the culture and meet other like myself at festivals around the country. I before would never be known to smoke weed but maybe it becoming time to legalize the use of marijuana for recreational purposes.

Agreed. I feel pretty bad after I drink. You can definitely feel your body telling you that drinking is not good for you. Weed has no ill effects afterward. I have an addictive personality, and I think that weed helps me not drink. I will drink if I don't have any bud. I want the weed much more than I want the alcohol though. I can do anything I would normally do while high. The same can't be said for alcohol.

As far as legalization for recreational purposes, I'm for it. We're in a bad financial situation as a country. Why not legalize it, tax it, and pay off debt/reduce the deficit? You'd be helping the country by buying lots of weed.

I use marijuana to cure my rheumatism that's the main reason why I smoke. I read articles that marijuana also a cure for autism.

Really? Do you have any links to those articles? I'm interested.

i smoke because if i dont, id be a lot more vocal about how stupid people are. the little stupid thing the average person does, let alone the tourists i have to interact with(i work at a parking lot in Fisherman's Wharf) having to answer the same questions over and over again, when there is a fat ass sign 4 feet infront of me, with highly visible, plain text in the simplest way of presentation all day is trying....questions like

"your sign says $3.75 a half hour, so how much is it an hour? how about two hours? how about X hours?"
or
"how far away from fisherman's wharf is this?"
or my favorite
"how do i back out of the drive way"
or
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I CANT PARK MY TANK/MASSIVETRUCK/HUMMER/RV IN YOUR FULL LOT AT 2PM ON A SATURDAY AFTERNOON. IM MAD AND IM GONNA TRY AND FIGHT YOU ABOUT IT"

im kind of an asshole, and i have a short fuse, so weed helps me get the "fuck it" in me and level my head a little bit

i also get sever migraines, that render me temporarily blind, and violently vomiting. when i feel the onset im suposed to take imatrex, but id rather smoke a bowl and relax than take pills. this also goes for my adhd witch i took a bunch of different pills over the 13 years i was taking medication.

in my off time i shoot photography. smoking help me get more into the technical aspects of photography. when i get out, and smoke a blunt i start seeing things differently, appreciating light, nature and whatever im shooting. also when i do other work, it lifts the block i would normaly have sober.

sometimes it helps me sleep aswell.....

I smoke for the following reasons
1) Makes me not take life to seriously
2) Ignites my creativity
3) Calms me down, I am a pretty anxious person. I think I'd annoy myself if I didn't smoke
4) More productive, No fucking way could I do my job without a smoke.
5) Music.. I love music anyway.. But weed makes it all the more euphoric
6) Wisdom

good thread by the way

I can also see the whole 'growing aspect.' Since i've started growing I'm like a little kid waiting outside a candy store... Just waiting for that light to flip on. Growing is amazing, I don't think I'll be able to stop.

Even as a new grower I'm hooked

First off, I have always loved the smell even as a wee lad (whole family smokes. light up with my grandpa all the time). Secondly, it's one of the most baller feelings I can safely achieve. Nice and relaxed feeling good as a motherfucker. Last, but not least, what I actually use it for is insomnia and social anxiety. Without getting comepletely stoned I'll be awake for 30-40 hours at a time more or less. Even when I do sleep, it'll only be for 3-6 hours.Which staying awake that long on that much sleep REALLY takes a toll on your mind and body. It also help elongate my sleeping time. Social anxiety? I'm nervous at the drop of a fucking hat. In my mind I could give a fuck less. My body, however, reacts completely opposite. The worst part, I get nervous that I'm gonna get nervous, which makes me even more nervous and feel like I'm gonna have a fucking heart attack. While high? Smooth fucking sailing

I smoke cos it's just generally fucking awesome! Bored? Down? Sore? Hungover? Gonna see a movie? Listen to music? Chill with your friends? Someone annoying you?

All totally fixed with a big fat one

Everything is cooler on weed man

...adhd + BP + +++++++
