Hey guys! I'm pretty new here, I really want to see what other people's reasons are. These threads really excite me lol.

Okay me first, my reason is to 1. to connect to alternate expanded realities of consciousness(stuff I would never normally create or think of when I'm "sober"), 2. to relax and just feel good and connect more w/ nature... and 3. to enhance sensations like sex, eating food (omfg lasagna...) and music musis mussiiiiccc... I TASTE music when I'm high.

& you guys? :D

yea same here, when your stoned its really hard to have a shitty time. ive been sitting in a police station with my buddies all stoned and we were still cracking up looking at eachother (just got caught smoking and had a bag on us). no matter what the situation it always puts a smile on my face.

and no hangover too wich is why i dont miss boozing one bit.

started smoking when i was 12... quit for a year while on probation... started smoking again out of serious depression. lol I had gone through a lot in a short amount of time so in some sense weed kept me grounded and level headed. I didnt realize i was living with a serious anxiety disorder that was effecting my life since i was 7 years old. Weed has been the biggest helping factor on almost every level of my life since i started smoking it. I hear alot of kids starting at a young age and not maturing mentally... i simply would say thats as true as the people who dont smoke and being 35 acting like a teen. it just happens...people act young and dumb... After smoking for this past decade which is not a very long time compared to lifelong smokers... i actually feel more normal when i consume marijuana than i do when sober. Ive gone the sober route... haha wow ...even my doctors put me back on pot. I actually enjoy life and have a family of my own and am no longer a troubled kid but am a responsible family man with a kid of my own. I feel weed has helped me so much that i like many others feel the urge to spread the word. FREE CANNABIS TO THE WORLD

I don't smoke I vape ;).

but I vape because of my lungs and I get 5x more out of the same amount of bud than smoking.

as far as mental/philosophical reasoning . . . . I love the way it affects my life.

I hear you mate, ive been suffering from an anxiety disorder for years and weed gets me through it. Been on the verge of getting on meds like prozac etc but i guess the cannabis and also my close mates have been getting me through it (even though they dont know about my anxiety disorder). I get more anxious when im high and in social situations to the point that i shouldnt be high but at the same time im fighting off depression, boredom and the general giving up feeling with the herb.

I want to know what your smoking, indica or sativa, and what your method of smoking is e.g. cooking, vaping, blunts etc..

Also just for the record i tried jack herer and it made me real paranoid haha i think heavy indica is better for me.

I want to do some research to try n find a way of effective self medication for anxiety/social phobia sufferers.

any heavy indica should pretty much kill your anxiety broo. I love sativa because I don't really have any social anxieties anymore (I think I got over them with a couple months of indica ;) )

so yeah, indica will definitely help you, jack herrer is a HEAVY sativa strain so it's no wonder it made you paranoid. I never get paranoid because I don't have any social anxieties (just a clue to those out there that wonder how you get paranoia)

Ok thanks, ill try and get my hands on some heavy indica. Heres my plan, finish Uni and graduate from my IT related course with a First or 2.1 and get a job through a graduate program in Silicone Valley. Live in Cali and try to get a medical marijuana card. If it will take me a while to get a card ill still be living in a marijuana friendly state and all that sun will do me good :D

Gotta plan ahead if all else fails :D

hey bro, I was in a similiar boat of shit... I used to TRIP hard on Sativas.. like supeerr social anxiety and shit. What blasted that bullshit out og my life was reading Eckhart Tolle's power of now... it's SOOOO wicked. like, I'd be sitting there about to flip and then I'd hear his words.. " wait... what is happening right NOW..? ahhh......" there is NO fear in the present moment. unless it is neccessary, like being face to face with a bear. all that mind identification bullshit is just mental illusions being projected into the future...

but yeah, I've created some of my best art stoned out of my mind :) its a powerful creation tool haha

It makes me more creative, I so much more enjoy life and sunshine while being stoned, all I wanna do is just go out and admire the beauty of nature.

I suffer from depression, it helped me kick my drining habbit and get the depression under control.

Other than that it's just a nice way to help me pass time if i've nothing to do. TAkes the boring out of doing nothing haha. On the same note though, when not high, makes boredom so much worse as you are aware that there is a solution of sorts haha.

Other than that doesn't really effect my apetite or spiritual thinking or anything.

Makes me a better person.
Im actually happy.
I have depression.
And i smoke because i love the plant and everything it does for these people/world. I respect it and it will always be in my life.

Also it helps my brain work right.

Just makes everything the "bee's-knee's"
