I mostly liked being by myself when I smoked. Then I felt completely comfortable. If you ain't good in social situations like myself then it ain't gonna help.

I smoked it alot in high school and collage, and for the most part I enjoyed it back then. It gave me a sence of peice and I felt anyways that it allowed me to think better, perhapse enjoy nature more because I would always go on hikes while smoking it, and generally enjoyed being alone when I smoked. Tho I did also do it socally like at a party or when I was in the midst of friends.

Now I am 25 and dont smoke anylonger. I get drug tested at work + now I just dont enjoy it like I used to. Now it makes me feel stupid, worrysome and paranoid. I am not sure what changed over this time, but I know I feel better without it.

Pot is for losers. And dumb people. And stupid people. lol

I don't like it.. It mostly makes me more confused socially.. Sometimes, I've enjoyed it in the past, but all in all, the effects are mostly unpleasant when I'm around other people and trying to figure out all the nuances of what they are communicating.. it's too confusing to try and figure it all out..

I also have ADHD and sometimes things have a paradoxical? effect on me.. Something that other people take to relax and relieve anxiety, might make me more stressed or paranoid a bit.. not pleasant for me..

• "Dumb" and "stupid" in the context you were using them, mean the same thing, unless you were using "dumb" to mean "mute" but that would be a strange statement. As I highly doubt you wrote this two separate ways to put emphasis on it, I think you have simply underscored your own lack of intelligence.
• Sentences usually consist of more than three / four "words" (see above for an example).
• When you learn that sentences do not begin with "And" you will have more right to comment on who is and is not stupid.
• Another way you could earn more credibility is by using words with more than two syllables.
• DUDE!! ! You're so cool you called people "losers" and wrote "lol" at the end... WHOOOAAA!! ! When you act with more maturity, you will be taken more seriously.

I have never heard of this before. I'm thinking its wrong. Marijuana's chemical reaction in the brain isn't hindered in us I believe. When I'm drunk, I'm a 'normal' person. I'm relaxed, not alot of thoughts racing, I don't run with an awkward gait, I show more emotions, and can carry on a conversation

I used pot and hash on a very regular basis from age 15 to age 21. When I had just turned 21 I noticed that I begin to feel very inhibited and uncomfortable in public while stoned on hashish. After that I have only used pot about 6 times total, and only when I would not be in public. Now it has been over 12 years since I have drank or used other drugs. About 14 or 15 years since I last used pot. So, at different times in my life pot/hash has had differing effects on me.

I am extremely sensitive to it. I easily get a contact high when around my brother who smokes it.

I would toke but it makes me sick right now with my current meds.

When it does what it's supposed to, I:

feel very relaxed
experience increased insight and appreciation for things
I experience a sense of motion although I'm not actually moving.

I was addicted to pot for about two years, smoking almost every day. I loved it, except for the occasional instance when it induced anxiety or a panic attack.

And it's not even close to harmless. I threw away a lot of time, and it's not physically harmless either. I haven't smoked in over two months now, and my memory still is not what it once was. I just hope it will return someday...

I have abandoned smoking, but plan to make tinctures and foods instead.

As far as social anxiety goes - i started smoking regularly around the time i left home and i could still get quite anxious going round supermarkets alone, or any other new situations i found uncomfortable. Getting a little high made it much easier, really seemed to take the edge off and make it more of an adventure than an ordeal. I should point out that the stuff i was using in those days (soap-bar) was notoriously impure and spiked with other substances including prescription meds, but im not sure that was a major over-riding factor iyswim.

In social environments - being high in a 'townie' type bar (sorry - dont know an international phrase to desribe this environment) could be a complete nightmare, but luckily i had experience of squat-parties & raves with a more 'alternative' crowd, and it definately didnt hurt in those environments - i felt much more at ease & at home. I think this difference is to do with amplifying the subconcious. If i was in a suitable, healthy environment for me, id relax & enjoy it more and vice-versa - If i felt uncomfortable in certain places (perhaps trying to 'fit in' by pretending to be something im not) then i thin the anxiety was my subconcious/intuition screaming out that i shouldnt have been there anyway!

For me, it really depends on the mood I'm in when I smoke it. If I'm happy it'll make me all giddy and giggly, but if I'm sad or angry it'll make me feel paranoid and alomst like something's out to get me. I had a really weird experience with it once while I was at work, but that's a completely different story
