Wow,

Lots of great reasons to smoke in this thread.

I smoke because of insomnia.
I smoke because life sucks sometimes.
I smoke because life is awesome sometimes.
I smoke because it tastes so good.
I smoke because people who smoke are all around cooler people.
I smoke because why not? Fuck it. Pick your poison. =)

I smoke because;

-I like getting high
-the perception of sensation is enhanced, so you feel like Afleck in Daredevil except with all five senses!
-food tastes epic
-it creates interest where there otherwise wouldn't have been in certain things, like mathematics, exercising or architecture, you tend to look deeper into things
-it relaxes me, I totally look forward to coming home and chilling out with a bowl on the couch
-it helps out a lot with social anxiety
-it helps you look past small, unimportant flaws in people just long enough to be around them for a short period of time
-it smells nice

 
I smoke because of stress. When I was younger(and sober) I would come home from school and stress about every little thing. Sometimes I'd get so stressed, I would get a mean ass headache and even make me not enjoy eating, so I hardly every ate. Now that I have started smoking, just a little over a year now, I've noticed many changes for the better. 1.no more headaches 2.regulates my eating 3.Takes away pretty much all my stress 4.made me become the happier and all around better person I am today :bigjoint:

Great topic by the way!

I don't know if this question has been asked before, but I'm wondering what draws everyone to marijuana. I'm hoping for deeper answers than "I like to get fucked up."

I'll go first since I started the thread. I love a good head high or stone because it inspires ne to do something other than sit around, watch TV, and feel down on myself. I feel like I have a need to work with my hands or play music. These things, I feel, genuinely enrich my life. I also feel 1000x more outgoing and personable. I feel like I have the will to solve or at least tackle problems I normally wouldn't. I don't feel like it impairs my ability to think at all as I have done many projects while high.

MY TANGENT

I hate going to home depot while high. Not because I can't decide what to buy or anything related to being impaired. Home depot has a sign out front that says something like, "We drug test. Drug users need not apply." Here's what really gets me; I function better high and know the store better than the employees that work there,and I'm a CUSTOMER. I don't expect everyone to know what a surge arrestor or a #12 machine screw is, but I do expect someone who is paid by home depot to know what these things are and where to find them. I can't even recall all the times I've gone there high (or not) and been so frustrated with help if I asked for it. I think to myself, "How could they possibly reject drug users over the staff they have on hand? Could they possibly be worse?" Then I remember the best job these people can find is at home depot, and I need to keep that in mind. If they had better skills, they would be doing something better. Then, I feel bad for even thinking like
this.

END TANGENT

Ok, I got off track in my own post. I would love to know why you smoke. I understand that many people smoke to relax and do the opposite of what I do while high. That's ok too. I figure there's no right or wrong way to use this wonderful plant. I am not judging. Please indulge me.
I'm with you on the work drug testing - if this is the best you can get with a drug testing policy, maybe your policy sucks. I've been on legally prescribed drugs that truly fucked with my head and body. Getting mad over weed is ridiculous. And I'm a daily smoker and at every service job I've had, I've been the brightest there. That's not a testament to my intelligence - that shows you the bottom of the barrel they'd rather hire in order to maintain a drug free workplace.

I smoke because it's the only thing that helps with my health related issues without side effects, makes me more uninhibited creatively, makes everything taste absolutely amazing (I have almost no appetite if I don't smoke), is a great way to socialize with friends, makes everything I watch better, helps me concentrate and I love a good cloud.

You'd get a much shorter answer if you asked "Why wouldn't you smoke?" hahaha

I only smoke, or ingest medibles for medical reasons anymore for the most part, I do enjoy burning one while trolling for walleye, and between the hot morning and evening bites ice fishing.

Ingesting butter medibles, or drinking tincture does the most pain relief for me during the day, and cuts down on the amont of oxy I have to take.

Smoking in the evening, or even in the middle of the night helps me get to sleep and stay asleep. If I get these horrible muscle spasm's, which are very much like seizures, I quickly smoke a couple of hits of BHO that I make, and it stops it right now. My arms and legs suddenly go relaxed, from rock hard, and my arms and legs stop jerkng and kicking uncontrollably. I can go right back to sleep.

Thank God for legal medical marijuana in my State.....now we can at least control what we grow and by at the dispensaries.

I think I smoke it for a few reasons...

1. I love how creative and innovative I am on weed. I am normally like this, more than most... but weed heightens this and allows me to almost transcend my normal capabilities of accessing the creative functioning and ideas that would be readily available to my brain in a normal state of mind.
2. I am take time to over-analyse things... This would be a bad thing if I wasn't aware of when I am doing this, but I am. So this allows me to notice and take the time to really contemplate deep ideas and moral issues. I can safely say I am a much better man due to my ideas changing. This could be accounted for by weed or maybe I would have naturally changed my opinion anyway but that is something that I won't ever know.
3. I find that I store my stress and problems and release it all at once when I can't hold it any more... weed acts as a de-stresser, in the same way people will sit down and have a can of beer or a glass of wine. I'll have a few bongs and will feel much more mellow. I am also more open and feel more at ease with discussing things I would perhaps sit and ponder over which in the long run means I am lessening my burdens and problems that I am dealing with on my own.
4. I am not religious in any way and would not even consider myself spiritual. But when I am really high and on my own and say just even looking at the stars with headphones in... You really can just feel yourself almost becoming part of everything and almost connecting to the network that is everything. Just knowing every tiny atom in your body has came from the one place and that everything you can see, hear, learn about, touch, taste, every thought, every future possibility has all came from one point in Time and one point in Space. Tis a very humbling feeling!

No matter what their skill level, they are just trying to pay their bills. I know a guy I see at the grocery store all the time with his wife and kids. He works at a big box HI store and is the most helpful guy you will ever meet. Anyway, I would be one of those, "Could they possibly be worse?" people you refer to if I had to work for a shitty corporation for minimum wage. I'd like to see you do it and make all your customers happy.

I would have to smoke weed before every shift just to put up with Aholes like you I guess.

I smoke weed because I think what it does is amazing and beautiful.
I believe in everything it has to say, and want to see it brought to its full potential in this universe :D

I always smoke indica dominant strains, solely on the fact that it allows me to relax. I often get panic attacks, and I have bad anxiety. When I'm stoned from either smoking a joint or from edibles, I am happy and I feel great the next day. Also, its a really beautiful plant and when you're growing it, the smell is amazing.
