Fuck weed!

Pretty much my entire group of friends started smoking pot last year and I just didn't want to, so we just stopped hanging out pretty much. Recently I was just hangin with them because I was bored and so I said why not and tried smoking a few times, I've only smoked like 4 times. It was ok, it wasn't how I thought it would be, I was really bored the entire time and couldn't really do anything about it but things were pretty funny. So I smoked a couple days ago and I felt like shit.

It made me feel so depressed, I would go into a 3rd person view and see myself sitting their being fucking retarded. It was late at night and I would usually be running at that time, I usually run 2 hours at 1am, so I felt like complete shit that I wasn't doing that and I was smoking instead. Like the depression would hit me in waves, I would be fine then all of the sudden I would feel so bad, like I wanted to die, I've never felt so bad in my entire life. I would see my friend sitting next to me acting like a fucking dumbass loser then I would look at myself holding a pipe and think what the fuck am I doing?

I remember hearing or reading that weed brings out mental illness sometimes. Is that true? Well depression runs in my family, my great grandpa hung himself, my dad is insane, and my bro shot himself. I've been a happy kid all my life and done normal shit and ignored my dad when he went crazy, and just been happy. When my bro died a psychiatrist tried to give me anti-depression medicine but I threw it away, because I was 12 and thought well no shit I'm going to be sad my bro just died.

It seriously changed my perspective on life, I'm thinking about leaving all my lifelong friends I've made because this shit, they fucking do this like everyday and I don't even want to be near them anymore. I want to try so hard in college now, I got a full tuition scholarship to the U of U and I'm going to work my ass off to keep it, and fucking not be a fucking dipshit screw up, and keep fucking skiing, and maybe run a marathon one day. I never want to feel that way again, I felt like my life was a fucking waste, and there was nothing to live for, fuck I'm going to try as hard as I can and live as happily as I can from now on.

Sorry that was so long.
Sparknotes: My friends smoke weed everyday, I tried it and got depressed, I hate it.

probably a good idea you dont smoke then, it has different effects on everyone and atleast you were aware of your mindframe.
although on the other hand, maybe you should have just gone running

"It was late at night and I would usually be running at that time, I usually run 2 hours at 1am, so I felt like complete shit that I wasn't doing that and I was smoking instead."

So why didn't you go running, maybe drag one of your stoned friends out with you too. I smoke weed but not every day, sometimes i end up smoking and just sitting around but that's days I'm just relaxing anyway. My biggest things is to not be one of those couch smokers, Me and a lot of my friends will smoke and continue to do things like running, kayaking, or even rock climbing, you just gotta be a little more careful. My bro calls me the most active stoner he knows cause while i may enjoy getting high i don't let it slow down my life at all. For the record I jog all the time when i'm high, it kinda makes me feel like i'm doin something good for my body to balance the bad of smoking.

But ya if your friends are 24/7 couch stoners drag em out with ya or leave em in the dust.

haha nice


to the thread starter, i would have just gone for a run. i swim and do active shit all the time when i smoke. it makes me feel better because i do something good for my body. what you need to realize (not you, but people in general) is that weed doesnt make you lazy if you dont let it. maybe you should have a plan of shit to do after you smoke so you dont just end up sitting around when your high.

on the other hand, maybe it isnt a good idea since depression/mental illness runs through your family. i would do some research before you try again (if you try again)

Good that you've finally realized what you want to do and not what your friends want you to do. In my opinion, going running at 1am is better than getting depressed at 1am, especially if depression runs in the family.

that sucks bro, for me it was like the exact opposite. i used to be real depressed and i was on all these med to keep me from killing myself like prozac and all this shit but i was still depressed all the time, and then i started smoking and it made my life so much better and happier. u said that u started seeing ur life from a bad perspective but i started to see my life so much better. it really depends on the person and how u are already feeling before u start to smoke. u sound like u started at a bad time pretty much for no reason, i started to help with a problem i was dealing with so i guess it all depends.

yeah weed can either effect your point of view on everything in a very fucking negative way. its bullshit when it happens, shitty fucking waste of time. makes you all paranoid and depressed or pissed off. but there are plenty of times where you will feel a very positive happy energetic experience.

Weed isnt anything, its nothing compared to any other drug. If you dont like pot then dont smoke it, but just keep in mind that pot isnt anything.

if youre going to college man, you dont need to be doin that shit. its fun to do in highschool, but after that you need to quit anyways IMO cause it could ruin your career after that, and thats not good.

do you realize, that weed just motivated you to do well in everything and to take everyday in more? i wouldnt say fuck weed, weed just opened your eyes even though the end result was that youll never smoke again, thats really good, and to motivate you to work hard in college and run a marathon, if you look at it like that, weed by making you feel like shit, in the long run made everything better?

i donno, all i can say is that maybe you should try to smoke weed while doing stuff. like don't make sitting down and smoking weed the event of the evening. use it more like: we're going swimming, i'll smoke some weed. not lets sit in a room and pass the joint around, then just sit there and look at the walls - that shit makes your brain wander too much, and you end up thinking some deep shit that you spend you're whole sober life trying to supress. ya know? paranoia and skitzo shit.

i know a guy who's actually skitzo, and he smokes the weed - i'm not sure what that has to do with anything, but hey.

its actullally easy to quit because you have to pay your hard earned cash for it and its not cheap. unless your really rich and can afford anything. but there are days when i have no money on me and the idea comes up and i dont buy any and its chill, i can handle it

maybe smokings not for u? usually weed can bring out some of your other thoughts is wht ive found, which can bring depression based off events and how your social life is going, such as if you have a girl friend or if you've been cheated on. Just because weed isn't for you doesn't mean its not for any1. But i find 1 way to not get depessed is to g2 like a party or chill with some ppl that ur close with have a good time, then while in a good mood still maybe a few days later smoke.

I know what you're saying, but try smoking and going skating or long board, or when you ski, etc. I think if you keep it constructive and don't just sit around and eat food, then you don't get those kind of thoughts and such. I'm not trying to get you to smoke, but giving it such a bad name isn't right. Some people like it some don't, it all depends on the person.

i see your perspective and agree that you probably shouldn't be smoking, it affects every person differently. but i disagree with your views of your friends, saying you dont want to be around them at all because they are screw ups is being very ignorant, its alright if you don't want to be aroudn them when they are smoking but there's no reason to not want to hang with them at all, its their personal choice, just like it's everyone who doesn't smoke's choice not to smoke, and i don't not hang out with people for not smoking. And you have to realize people are very capable of smoking and being successful, my whole group of friends smokes almost every day and we have all done very well in school and are all going to college, so just because you or someone you know chooses to smoke, don't give them or yourself the stereotype of being a lazy piece of shit stoner, thats only the people that choose to do that, i smoke multiple times everyday and i'm always active and have a good life.

like heath said, if you haven't, smoke and go skiing or something fun, go swimming or mountain biking, it will give you a whole new perspective, im not very suprised you feel the way you do about it right now if your just smoking in someones basement and sitting there geekin for an hour, that just isn't fun. smoke with some different people maybe your friends really are just lazy stoners

youre a fucking pussy, no one has an out of body experience from smoking some nugs, nugs are chill, youre not.

However, if there is a history of schizophrenia in your family using Acid or smoking pot could trigger a schizophrenic symptoms and could lead to on set schizophrenia

yea well everyone has a different perspective on it.  if you go into the state thinking all my friends are acting retarded, weed is stupid and for fools, its going to make you feel like that obviously.  you cant do it with a negative attitude, i dont no about your friends but usually its supposed to be a fun time and a good chat, it brings people together.  I believe that it is a natural plant, and it was put here on earth for a reason but  if it made you feel that way, or anyone that way i would be with you and never touch it again, good call.  its good to see that you do have good things to live for and you can do life without.

i used to get flashbacks from acid n boomers. i stopped doin all that stuff a few years ago n just smoke now. i can look back on all that now and know iv experienced things no one else has. but u cant compare the highs of pot to 7 tabs. and ur not going to have an out of body experience just smoking, unless it was laced and u didnt know.

I smoke weed almost as a medicinal purpose, alot of people think i bull shit when I say this, but it actually relaxes me and makes me feel more comfortable. I totally see where your coming from, that its just not for you. But you also have to realize that it effects everyone differently and you shouldent look down on people who smoke it. Its your own choice and but you shouldent get the wrong image about others who do smoke it.

Thanks for the feedback. But the reason I was saying that crap about my friends is they never want to hang out unless they are smoking weed, it pisses me off man, they go to their fucking bullshit jobs then come home and smoke. Why can't we just chill and not smoke? Every fucking day man, and then if I started talking maybe a little loud everyone would shush me, or no one would be listening to what I was suggesting, and then that's when I was like fuck this shit.

yah that sucks but everyone goes through phases of smoking, when people first start they dont relize you can smoke and do other stuff and have fun. no i smoke a bunch but i also do other stuff sometimes high sometimes not, my advice is try it again but make sure you go do something dont just sit there, but if you dont want to smoke again dont and just find other freinds
