Pot destroyed my personality? (MUST READ)

---

The price of marijuana usually has to do with the location of the place where you got it. Small towns seem to have good prices because there are more places for people to grow it and less fear of being caught, allowing them to grow more of it and sell it cheaper.

In the city black people sell bud for dirt cheap. $75-100 for an oz. Most of the time it's brown and nasty and in doused in windex or pine sol to make you think it's actually potent enough to get you high. Cannda has good weed for much better prices, plus it's somewhat decriminalized. My advice is to make a hidden compartment in car, go alone across the border, find a good source, buy a lot, vacumn seal the bud, act real cool and have a straight story, and you'll get through. Dogs won't smell the bud if it's vacumn sealed and if you act right no one will suspect a thing.

True, like a couple of my friends grow because they can find fields and shit, but if i go to Aroura(place in illinois) i can usally get it for half the price. Because more people slang out there

Have you ever been to Canada

yeah but not 4 bud, but SWIM knows people who go up there and return with pounds upon pounds.

O i c, thats cool

i had kinda the same thing toolike i was perma-friedwhen you stop you'll notice a different....actually...i took e once and after that my personality came back, i was talking again, making jokes, my sesnse of humour, and im not always burnt out anymore...i still smoke, but guess im use to it, im the same ol me...i never did e again..but hey it was a jumpstart...but dsont do e...im just telling you

I actually agree with you. I first smoked when I was in 6th or 7th grade. I smoked a lot in 7th grade and basically quit by 8th. I then started again freshman year of high school and quit by mid-sophomore year, just having too many bad experienes (getting way too high, thinking I was gonna die etc. also, I was getting mild heart pain sometimes). Anyway, I never really enjoyed smoking but I just did it because it was something to do. I do feel like it has permantly affected me. I always feel just a little bit out of it, and I remember how I used to feel before I ever smoked: a lot more in tune with reality. When I first smoked I thought it was so strange that reality had a feeling to it. I'm not stupid now or anything, I just feel a little affected, and it's something that annoys me, but also makes me really consider whether I ever want to do any drugs again, barring alcohol that is. I really believe that no one should smoke weed before age 16 or 17, probably even 18. That seems like common sense, but a lot of kids start earlier. To the OP, you'll be OK. The damage weed does I'm sure is less than what other drugs can do. It's just that weed isn't as innocent as everyone seems to think it is.

I noticed everyone who has started really young (6-8th grade) usually seems more 'stupid' then other who have started later. I tryed it when I was 15 and became a regular user at 16.

"I noticed everyone who has started really young (6-8th grade) usually seems more 'stupid' then other who have started later"That is because at the age you become addicted or a heavy user, your personality stops maturing. For example, my best friend started drinking and toking heavy when he was about 14. He's 34 and has the maturity level of someone who is about 15 or 16. It's kinda like living in suspended animation. You still physically age, society expects more and different things of you, but your brain never developed beyond the age at which you started, which is usually 14, 15 or 16. Only after you quit does the maturation process restart.Jesus, what does that say about me? I'm 31 and run with a social retard. Oh well, the retard makes me laugh. The stupid shit.

Wow that's like the biggest crock of shit I've heard all day. You can't state that as a fact just based on one jackass you happen to know.

Thats an idiot for you

Well maybe I should not have stated that as fact and said personality instead of brain. All I know, is that is what AA and most 12 step programs for drug addictions state. And, it is referring to habitual dependancy not occasional recreational use.I do however agree with AA on this point, and the basis for that agreement is not based on one person. Of all the people I know and hang out with, that are around my age (28 to 38), I can't think of one, that doesn't at least smoke and drink, if not tweak. Of that group, the people who are hard corp stoners, generally, accuratly reflect the statement I made in the previous post, be they drinkers, tokers, tweakers or pill heads.

i live in canada and its 10 dollars canadian for 1 gram, even if the stuff is chronic its still the same price, never buy joints from people though especailly if there pinner because you usually get ripped of, it 5 dollars for a join but people sell joints rolled with less then .5 grams. Just a little info on weed.

Hey!I can totally relate... I'm 20 now... started smoking when I was 15 and quit this year... was smoking an average of 2 grams/day. I did try quitting a few times but life was just too dull w/o it... and I wanted something to take be back to that state of mind (a consious desire to escape "reality") I couldn't stop because "reality"/society became something so unbearable I believe I was smoking to mentally recluse and live inside my mind.I knew I had to quit when I started going a bit crazy (heh). Paranoia skyrocketed (not the "every vehicle is a cop!" kind of thing) it was more self-centered and eventually I was having really bizarre/sick visual images & sometimes "hearing things". When I quit I started taking anti-psychotic meds cause my mind was way outta control. Eventually (within a month of taking them) I quit the meds and have been working on building on life again. I feel ultimatly different. !! It's incredible how much marijuana really affects a person. The MJ grown these days is about 20x more potent than it was in the 60's-70's.To touch on your question... Yes, I know you can enjoy life weed-free but you must be patient & willful... do not succumb to the urges to smoke! I can hardly remember what I was like when I was 15 but I do recall being & feeling much smarter & wittier back in junior high. I quit about 3 months ago but I am definatly noting changes... and a few people have mentioned that I "Seem happier". I will admit life seems a bit flat but I try to keep occupied by reading or drawing... music.. and of course the occasional drink!I'm pleased that you want to change directions!GOOD LUCK & take care! edit- "wetpooty" (-how clever!), amanda is right. & scientific evidence is right. Science is a matter of trial and error/statistics as well as mere study/knowledge of an idea/mechanism. If you're so darn smart you'd probably know this. I think it's your ego that leads you to believe you're so intelligent and that you're are not being negatively affected by marijuana. My ex used to say that B.S. all the time... he really just needed a swift kick in the ass (so I did -I dumped the douche!). You ought to get off your high horse and see things for what they are.

That's being pretty grown up now... Take each day at a time. Glad you made the life changing choice too....

Its not everyone else, its you. You were mentally weak from the beginning. All your 'problems' were most likely there way before you touched cannabis. 2 grams a day? That is way too much.Its not the drug affecting you, its just you being an idiot. Im sure you used acid, lsd, and drank every day too. Plus your occasional binge of cocaine or meth or both. Let the truth come out.

I normally find myself taking an oposing view to yours but this time I have to agree.I smoked mass amounts of green in high school an for about a year I smoked more pot then I smoked ciggarets and I smoked them at a pack a day. Iv been a constant user since about 1985-ish.after 89 I wasnt stoned daily and I rarely do it now, purely recreational use a couple times a year, like backpacking in the wilderness areas or skiing or a weekend with no kids and just me and my g/f sitting around an go hey ets get high and fuck!.It has never run my life, I can go with out it for as long as I decide to and at some times thats been 2 years or so and others its a couple months then its a one time deal for a night and its forgotten about for hell only knows how long.Pot is not physically addictive and thats a proven fact, it didnt destroy any part of me and people that think it did destroy them have problems aside from pot and probally shouldnt be smoking it to begin with.

Fab - what the fu&k is wrong with you?2g = 6 bowls ? I was actually in school with a job or working FT+Any amount of marijuana every day for 5 years (or any given span of time) is too damn much. Tell me about your smoking habits, let's see if you have enough relations to speak for me. Wait, you don't.Each individual is affected by the drug quite differently. Spew all the BS you want but you clearly don't know what the h%ll you're talking about!

It is psychologically addictive.& you're right, some people are innately less apt to deal with the side-effects of marijuana.http://www.priory.com/psych/cannabis.htmIn my case I was also doing just fine until one day when I snapped.
