backstory: I started smoking heavily since the beginning of this year, with little on and off bits but for the most part Ive been smoking every day, for the past few months I would smoke anywhere from 1-4 times a day, usually just once but sometimes 2 or 3 times. im 16 and ive slowly started to notice a few things, first, my memory is completely shot, I only ever think about 'the moment'/'now' and have a hard time remembering anything from the same day but I can if I focus on it. but ive noticed that when I first started getting into heavier smoking, I seemed to get more excitement/more stimulation from smoking bud, and of course more of that retarded stoner act thing going on, but over the course of this year ive just gone from idiot stoner to just more chilled out/serious/and just generally more passive aggressive, and it wasnt just a choice thing it was a gradual change in behavior, now most of my friends would say im just a burn out, but I really dont feel like it, I get semi good grades, I have a good stable 7 month relationship, the only thing that has really changed is my behavior and my memory, but lately ive just been feeling very either irritable or anxious and kind of disorganized, but also I just feel or seemingly I feel less of 'something' I once had, I dont know what it is though, like I feel less 'excited' or excitable about things but im not actually depressed or anything...

anyways, I ask you totse, am I just burning out or am I just finally starting to mature?

hopefully ready to mature and turn yourself ((aswell as all deathliers ("dealers") you know) in to the police for all of the drugs you have done. when you get out of prison we can talk about redemption. you cant just say its over and your mature you do the crime you're gonna have to do the time son and if that means life in prison so be it. fuckin no discilpine faggot.

lolwut?


seriously though that didnt even make any sense.

get fucked

You're getting used to smoking and you smoke too much. Cut back to once a week or so and you'll be fine.

dirty dick-sucking fried out stoner fuck

Not possible. Here is what a business partner of mine told me, and he's been everything from strung out on heroin for over 5 years, shot coke for much longer; basically has done every drug in the book from early teen years until he was in his 60s (where he's at now):

If you fuck with drugs, any drug at all, you won't allow your mind to mature at all. And that's really it, you'll be a handicap and not know it; an ignorant handicap. And there is absolutely NOTHING worse than an ignorant handicap. That boy in the wheel chair knows his disability, but you won't. That includes weed; any abuse of mind altering substance and you're not going to mature how you properly should. That's life, you're not the exception.

this is 100% truth, just replace doing drugs with not doing drugs. talk about living in a one dimensional world, unaware of the realities around you, THAT is a handicap.

To the OP:

I feel like everyone who is a 'stoner' experiences what you are at some point. The biggest thing to remember is that there is a very typical role a stoner is expected to play, and the best way to not feel the way you do is to reject that role. Honestly. It's much more metaphysical than the physical THC. By smoking every day, you attempt to fill the mythology of the stoner. Just understand that not everyone who smokes everyday is a burnout, and you don't need to be either.

As for the memory thing, you get used to it. You really do remember more than you think, it just takes longer to recall the memory (i.e. more stimulus).

I don't think weed is making you mature. I agree with whoever earlier said that it can affect how you mature. I'm 18 now and I started smoking pot regularly when I was 14. I noticed that I used to be possessed with getting pot and all I would care about when I was 15/16 was just getting baked. I wouldn't care about going to hang out with many people cause I was always baked and didn't care. It can affect your development and how your brain matures. But you don't have to let it affect you that way, its just if you start early like me you may miss a couple things that you probably should have learned by now. But fuck it smoking weed is the shit.

Way to just sound like a burnout and use the wrong terms. Mythology of the stoner? Maybe you meant he's becoming the stoner Archetype.

The bold section. Read it and think about it before you reply.

If I had a rolled up newspaper I'd hit you with it.

im not actually depressed or anything...

You just wait kiddo.

And both, maybe you should stop, or not, and take up crack in a few years, join the un employed, and be a loser ass piece of rodent shit who brushes his teeth about twice a year.

I know "stoners" that are more energetic and intelligent than a lot of "non-stoners" I don't think it really plays a big part in your personality. I think it's the other way around. Like if you were naturally lazy you'd probably be more likely to smoke weed, not that you'd become lazy from smoking weed. I don't know, I've smoked weed for a long time and I don't think I'm any less energetic or anything than I used to be.

It really COULD be that you're just starting to mature. The thing you said about things just becoming generally less exciting, I don't know, I started getting that feeling around your age and that was BEFORE I started smoking weed. Only you can know for sure, you shouldn't really have to ask.

Er, that might have something to do with the fact that the guy's BEEN STRUNG OUT ON HEROIN AND COKE for extended periods of time. That's a little different than smoking weed every day.

anyways, I ask you totse, am I just burning out or am I just finally starting to mature?

You are just at that point that comes with smoking weed constantly. This happens to everyone who smokes regularly.

Take a couple or just few days off or where you only smoke right before you go to bed or not at all, and all of the fog in your head will clear...

Then continue to burn...

if i didn't smoke pot, i wouldn't be the way i am today.

before the green, i was trying so hard to fit in at school and be the typical teenager, but i always felt out of place.

after the green, i stopped giving a fuck about everyone and everything. school became easier for me because i wasn't stressing about the same bull shit that i used to stress out about. socially, things became better too. i ditched the acquaintances and focused on my relationships with a few people. (my 2 best friends, my girl friend of 2 1/2 years, and my loving family)

i'd say pot has positively assisted my development and helped me mature.

...but it has zapped my motivation and short term memory.

(started smoking pot at 17 and haven't stopped for much more than a few days. i'm 19 now.)

Er, that might have something to do with the fact that the guy's BEEN STRUNG OUT ON HEROIN AND COKE for extended periods of time. That's a little different than smoking weed every day.


It's not like he's only seeing the world through his own perspective. I'm sure he hung around a lot of people that only smoked weed every day. Either way, it's just not good to be high every day. And hey, I know it's much harder to preach than practice; I've gotta be high on at least weed every day usually.

LSD... my first time doing it was the most positive thing ive ever done for myself...

maybe it shouldn't be how you should grow up and mature but it made me happy with my life and comfortable with who i am and wish to become....

I was depressed before starting any drug use, weed helped make life easier, LSD made life something i could enjoy.... Had i not gotten into drugs, i probably would have killed myself, i was considering it and trying to find reasons not to and its not a good thing when you cant think of many reasons not to blow your brains out short of a messy cleanup for someone....don't really give a fuck all for your friends and family, school sucks, and generally hate life. That was how i used to be.... Since dropping acid i haven't had a single thought even close to contemplating suicide....

Drugs can help people, or hurt them.... I regret nothing i have done....

dumb stupid potheads i hate weed

dumb stupid new arrivals, i hate them

If you smoke weed or any other drug so much it replaces other activities that would normally be making your brain grow/learn as it does when engaged in any sort of activity, then yes you're crippling your mental growth.

I've been doing it to myself for years, and am sort of regretting it. I however, love smoking weed and my life quite frankly sucks due to 5+ years of unsocial behavior and drug use which I think seems to have given me some sort of anxiety disorder (can't relax around other people, constant "have to leave" feeling) and made me socially retarded to the point wheres it comes down to sitting at home alone sober/slightly depressed or sitting at home stoned and moderately happy, something I'll continue to do until I find a way out of the vicious loop I'm in.


I think the best advice I can give is that you should use drugs to enhance the interests you already have, not let drugs become your interests.

yo yo jamaiaca man fuck you you dumb nigger

I think the best advice I can give is that you should use drugs to enhance the interests you already have, not let drugs become your interests.

That. And obviously if you're getting really blazed all the time it's not as awesome. Everything in moderation.

Personally, I only smoke when I'm relaxing with friends, skateboarding, or snowboarding. I almost never smoke alone, or do anything unproductive when high alone. That is, I'm always building stuff or making art or something, not playing video games or browsing youtube. Video games while high are best with friends.

Just get a fucking hobby and something productive to do. High on life + high on cannabis = super fun. Do it!

i hate potheads i used to work with one on a constructionjob he was premfried and i punched him out after work one day cause he was just dumb and i didnt like him

white middle class kid from suburbia... so i don't think i qualify as a nigger, nor do i claim to be one.... I dont consider myself dumb, i will probably end up doing more with my life than you ever will... your making alot of generalizations and making yourself seem like more of a dumb nigger than i will ever be....

Whatever ya dumb faggot

How about you spit out the pipe once in a while and get something done, you useless stoner fuck.

People who smoke weed every day are stupid but dumb bitches like the OP are the worst.

Whatever ya dumb faggot

i see what you did there....

I personally try to keep pot exclusively as a treat to be had on an infrequent basis (once or twice a month).

OP, are you obese?

How do people manage to smoke pot every day and eat like a fucking pig and not grow obese?

metabolism....

i smoked for more than a year just about every single day and managed to not become the typical stoner burnout... most people who dont know me usually just think im someone that looks a bit like a stoner because of my hair which was like it has been even before starting....

but through it all i have never gotten over 150lbs and im 6'0...

hardly any exercise and well over a 3000 calorie unbalanced diet of fairly unhealthy foods.... that's what it takes to keep me from going underweight... some of us just have good metabolisms....

Now that i exercise every day i eat even more than i did while smoking, still under 150lbs....

It helps if your not eating really shitty food for the munchies... people that will sit down and eat a bucket of ice cream, yea they might turn into fatties, but i would sit down with about a pound of Italian food and just eat.... or eat some fruit because fruit is pretty damn good when your stoned...

or eat some fruit because fruit is pretty damn good when your stoned...

Like watermelon? Fried chicken isn't fruit.

I don't get fat when i smoke, in fact I lost about 15 lbs when I started smoking daily. Ok, i just started working out around the same time but still. i don't really like to eat too much unless I'm stoned, I'd say I consume at most 1,000 calories thru all 3 of my meals (i usually skip breakfast and eat a small lunch.. like bag of chips small) then a regular dinner, and munchies at night which is usually just a sammich..

Plus it does speed up your metabolism.



OH, and as for the actual thread:


I went thru the very same thing.. I would call it kind of a meltdown. When I am high I fear i am losing my memory when I try to remember shit, but I have a surprisingly good memory when I'm not stoned. However, any shortcomings (a bad test grade) make me think I'm getting stupid, and I really think I'll never have the brain power to go to college if I keep smoking weed.

However, both sober and stoned periods of introspection lead me to believe that i am just fine.. I will probably need to cut back when I go to college, because high school to me is a cake walk, so I treat it like one. i go in stoned every day, smoke most days in either lunch or P.E, and take any chance to fuck around. when i do my homework, i rush thru it so I can go chill with friends, and i really feel like a slacker. however, my grades are better than freshman year, when shit was easier and I would tackle my assignments sober late at night after slacking all day.

i don't study for tests or anything and i always make in the top 5 of the class (all of my classes rank the top 10 test scores and post em on da wall)

anyway.. weed will make you a fucked up person who doesn't know who they are. however, I can also relate to one of those fools up there who said "its a choice between being sober/bored/depressed/lonely.. and stoned/distracted/~happy/lonely.."

Weed went thru a few stages with me, it went:

Occasional with friends, never bought any -> W/ Friends + Occasionally buy some, smoke it sneakily as fuck with a foilie -> W/Friends + always stay in supply, smoke it superfluously

Exactly what I was thinking while reading his post.

16 year olds are just fucking retarded.

16 year olds are just fucking retarded.

or in other words, make a fucking worthwhile post from time to time and maybe you'll be able to say this shit. YA WHITE.

"You're boy is maturing"

"You're stoner is fried"

The title made me imagine a doctor saying that to someones parents, kinda weird, kinda random, I lul'd.

fried stoner. sounds yummy.

Wow I didnt expect so many non-troll replies.

Anyways Id like to thank a few of you, I can totally relate to some of the people who posted, but the thing is ive not become a stoner, ive become less of one just because of my more chilled out behavior, I guess by that I mean ive stopped acting retarded all the time just cause im always stoned, and no im not fat, Im 5'6' and weigh 120 pounds, but I do eat like a motherfucker, usually 4 huge ass meals a day, probably not healthy though in the long run lol, im a junior btw if anyone cares. Also I usually use to smoke any time of the day but for the past few months I actually either smoke at lunch with friends, or at night and alone before I go to sleep, I have a little fun first and then just pass out to crappy tv. I get semi good grades as ive mentioned, I guess though the dude who was talking about the meltdown is most similar to me, whenever I try to remember something it becomes more difficult to and I just kind of freak out and feel like its just fucked forever. anyways I guess ill just cutback.



another thing though, since march of this year, started smoking in january, but since march up to now ive had a really bad chronic cough, I usaually cough every day, I was just wondering if I should actually get this checked out or if its just a result of smoking alot, I dont have a raspy voice or smoke cigs or anything so I dont think its anything serious, it just wont go away. ive noticed after going sober a few days the cough gets dryer, but when I smoke it has more phlegm. i went to the doctor for GERD (acid reflux disease) which I found out can cause a chronic cough by harming your throat, and ive had bad acid reflux frequently throughout this and last year. could this be the unerlying cause with smoking worsening it?

Nah I'll just stick to being 100% asshole and 0% fag. You on the other hand? I'm not so sure of.

I'd like to take a length of lead pipe, maybe three feet or so. Get it all roughed up by rubbing it against a few bricks, then I'd take a torch, melt the end of the lead pipe until it's nice and rounded.

Then I'd put that pipe back into the designated box.

After that's all finished and I have a nice drink, I'm going to curb stomp you acolyte and make a necklace out of your shattered teeth.

I blaze on a daily basis. I also went through the stage where i used to be a hilarious stoner, but me and my buddies kinda just grew up. Some more than others. I'd now much rather have a mature interesting conversation while stoned than a joke fest. Is that maturity? Who the fuck cares? You're moving on. Only dweebs find constant joke fests amusing. Dweebs and 16 year olds.

My advice for when you go to university (get there you fuck) is to blaze AFTER all the h/w and studying is over. Chances are you won't have alot of time for friends and blazin will be the only fun thing to do after a long night of bullshit book reading.

Your memory will be amazing too, because of the amount of reading you'll be doing. My best advice for people with memory problems is to get off your lazy ass and read some fucking literature. Then get high.

ciao

I would say it's actually a mix of both. The weed is probably affecting you some, but I'd say maturing has something to do with it too. Smoking daily at 16 can't be very good for you though.

If you take a break from the weed, you can find out the answer to your question. That doesn't mean you have to quit, it just means take a break to evaluate yourself and what's going on with you. Once you find out, you can plan everything from there.

Suck me.

You just described the past 4 years of my life. If you ever find out how to get that awkward anxiety to fuck off I will be in debt to you for the rest of my life.

@OP
You're maturing.
When I was <12 I used to stay up all night waiting for shit under the tree.
As I hit 14-ish I stopped giving a fuck.

It's just the natural order of things. Don't blame weed.

Suck me.

You win, how can I ever top that.

Yeah I agree with this too and I'm in a similar situation that you are in. Not exactly to that extent but I did start smoking around 4 years ago, everyday. I was kind of shy and not very social anyway so pot was perfect for me, it gave me the feeling that I don't need to do anything because its already entertaining enough just sitting in my friend's basement stoned playing video games. It's probably why I didn't get pussy sooner, I now look back and seen all my chances where I could have taken advantage of a slutty high school chick (when I was in HS) but me being stoned fucked it up because it gave me extra anxiety around females.

I still smoke everyday or however often I can, it does make you lazy and apathetic if you do the all day every day thing. It is best to take breaks so your tolerance can go down. I'm in college now and it really is making me too lazy to even show up to class half the time. I do squeak by and do all my major assignments and make sure I'm not getting too fucked over in the class. But it does affect how you are socially, because instead of going out and doing something with people, you just wanna kick it with one or two friends and smoke blunts. I kinda see it as a waste of my time but its time that I enjoy and I like being stoned better.

I just try to tell myself it doesn't effect you but it does. That is if you are a big stoner like me is when it does. If I had the self control to just smoke on the weekends that would be amazing. But even when I'm not smoking (cause I've been on a light probation for around 5 months) I don't really notice a big difference in what I'm doing when I'm not high. Maybe just all that time getting effected my life so much I don't know what else to DO other than get high. So OP you are probably just becoming a big stoner, don't let if effect you negatively if you can.
