I used to smoke every night to enhance my dreams and enjoy some music. One day, a "switch" just flipped and now I can't smoke without intense social anxiety (I think my friends are trying to kill me or that I'm morphing into an alien freak), almost paralysis (can't move my body without extreme effort), and sometime uncontrollable crying. I have tried the oils, I have tried high this and low that, I've tried certified stuff, I've tried the backyard bullshit-- everything. I no longer partake because to me, it is a nightmare drug.

Mushrooms.

Captures how it makes me feel now as well, unfortunately. It also surprisingly exacerbates my chronic pain. I wish it helped.

Makes you feel dumber. It can't actually make you dumber lol.

Now alcohol can actually make you dumber. Stay away from the booze.

You guys are always so confident about these marijuana harnlessness claims. You love acting like logic driven scientists so show us the science.

I have a friend who used to smoke like an ounce/week. He was always high. He has scoliosis and is often in extreme pain, so the weed helped-- but apart from that, I have never seen a lazier, more depressing person than he was when he smoked that much. He wouldn't move, his appetite wasn't increased with marijuana so he was so skinny, and he'd just sit there and lazily preach about its benefits. All he did was talk about weed and smoke weed. He'd wake up, smoke a bowl, smoke another bowl, sleep, wake up and smoke a bowl, stay up all night listening to music and smoking bowls, and then fall asleep again. It scares me to think that people don't take marijuana seriously. It's a mind-altering substance that needs to be respected and monitored in one's own body just like anything else. It may not kill you, but it can fuck you up nonetheless.

I know there are so many positive stories about it, which is great, but I wish people would be more responsible and reasonable about what they take, how much they take, when, etc.
