Hey guys, i saw this commercial talking about how bad weed is And all that shit and how everyone that does it only smokes because they "want to get away from everything" i know weed isnt bad and all, but that last part got me thinking, does everyone who smoke do it to get away from something? Or do they just do it for thr social aspects? Iv yet to get some weed still but when i do i think its more for social aspects for me. What about you guys?
"roll" =/= smoke marijuana "Roll" or "rolling" is slang for the use of MDMA/ecstasy
Thanks for the info :D my bad..commence editing now
Don't worry about it. I smoke marijuana because I enjoy the way it makes me feel. I love the subtle psychedelic effects that complement the euphoric relaxation. Normally I'm a fairly anxious and bitter individual. Misanthropy would be an understatement. When I smoke marijuana, I feel "normal." Each drug I do has its purpose. I enjoy doing heavy psychedelics (Psilocybin mushrooms, LSD, etc) because of the mind expansion. You never truly look at the world the same way after a strong psychedelic experience. I enjoy doing Adderall on occasion because it corrects my [assumed] Norepinephrine deficiency. I've had issues with depression and anxiety for a few years now, and when I'm on Adderall, I feel normal, but in a different sense than when I smoke marijuana. The marijuana normality I experience is simply reduced anxiety as a result of increased serotonin, and significantly reduced misanthropy as the result of increased dopamine. On Adderall, I find the elusive motivation to accomplish that which needs to be accomplished. I find meaning in what I normally consider meaningless. Rather than feel depersonalized and disconnected, I feel in tune with reality. Rather than feel dead, I feel alive.
It's fun.
To escape this bitch we call reality. It loosens me up, i'm the kind of person that's usually on edge and hyper and it just allows me to be chill.
I do all the drugs I do because they're fun
I do use it as an "escape" if you must. Same reason I chill out in my house and listen to music, same reason I sit and watch a TV show when I want to veg out. It's called relaxing, getting my mind off all my troubles.

Seeing a specialist soon about ADD, and sitting here right now reading what Adderall has done for you is just making me feel so excited about how good my life could be and how much it could help me.
It's an affordable way to enjoy your day.
It keeps my weight above 130 pounds, it's a great social tool, and who doesn't like to relax every now and then?
I use it with friends every couple of weekends at a time because it's a great way to relax and unwind after the week is done. I find myself having less fun high alone then if I were with friends, maybe because there's nobody to talk to, which I find to be the best part.
for the mad erections bro
I smoke it just so my eyes glaze over, feels good man.
Because it's fun, different, and a whole lot of other stuff too. People who use drugs as an escape, especially weed need to keep away from drugs.

[QUOTE=Luke510;21715820]i'll do what I do boo boo you go get them pikinit baskets[/QUOTE] I'll try and rephrase what I said... I hate people who some weed as an escape from their life because they can't deal with petty shit when there are people so much worse off than them, especially angsty teenage kids. On the other hand, escaping from this reality is something different in my opinion, however that's something I'd relate to psychedelics, and not weed.
I'd rather have them smoke than tell me how bad their life is because of a typical teenage situation. I've been through some shit(and it sounds like you have too) that just makes me not really sympathize with that kind of shit. It just puts your life and your problems in perspective when you go through some shit that changes your whole life, in comparison your problems of the past were nothing but minor annoyances.

That is a good point though about putting your problems into perspective.. admittedly smoking weed has helped me make some important decisions, however I wouldn't like to say that was the sole reason for me toking.
I like to smoke because: a) It helps me relax and think deeply b) I am more patient with problems and people c) It's fun!
Feels good
It's a nicer alternative to alcohol at parties and social gatherings and makes me more chilled for weeks on end as I can have big gorm out thinking sessions when blazed, and realize that things I was making a big fuss about really aren't so bad at all.
I smoke because it is a good way to chill and have some fun, also helps me to sleep. It does also help as an escape, when my nan died I smoked alot and it did help with coming to terms with it.
Allows me to appreciate life and my place in society. Plus it's a natural social substance that brings people you would never expect to talk to each other become friendly.
It's different from alcool, it's nice to enjoy while alone. I'm kind of antisocial, while under the influence of alcool, I become social, talkative, and i want to party. on the other hand, you get a hangover, it cost a arm to get drunk and is not fun when alone green leaf from heaven: relax, chill, make everything so different and nice, I enjoy it while listening to music or playing guitar outside by a chilly night. Doesn't cost a arm, no hangover, easy to take without getting sick on the other hand its illegal, smell alot, hard to hide, occasion to use it are rares and get you quite down if you repeat it too much in the same week

That and the effects aren't too long lasting, so it can be done during the middle of the day and still be fine later on.
It would be the dumbest thing ever to smoke weed if you're an emotional wreck since it does not always make you happy it just intensifies the mood you are currently in.
Smoking weed to escape reality..? noes! Weed is a vacation to reality! I smoke because it feels good and it relieves alot of stress.
I hate when people think it's BAD to get away from life for a bit...Like, "Oh, it's so terrible that you want to escape some shit in your life for a little while. Shame on you." I don't see anything wrong with sitting back when you're stressed, lighting up a doobie, and just chilling for a bit. Everybody needs their escapes. Like video games, movies, the internet, pot, drugs, etc...As long as it isn't overdone, I think that it's perfectly acceptable.
