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.

i have smoked a lot of weed considering that some of my close friends are stoners. i have seen my friends transform over the past two years. it seems after those two years all they want to do is smoke pot. i am still friends with them but i have found new friends whose lifes dont revolve around smoking pot. whenever i hangout with my two friends all they want to do is smoke weed. that gets very old and annoying considering that i am trying to smoke way less. weed has distanced some of my friends and i. i dont like what it has done to my friends. every time i smoke with them i get all depressed and think i am sitting with losers who will probably smoke weed the rest of there life and who will get no where in life. weed has act as a gateway drug for my friends. they are starting to get into some hardcore shit and i am starting to get scared for them. i feel like i should intervene because it seems they are destroying there lifes. they have given up in school and dont give a fuck. all in all i am gonna smoke way less because it depresses me and i have seen what it has done to some of my close friends.

Yeah pretty much the exact same thing happened for me. I enjoy being sober now. Every time I pass on weed, I feel better about myself. But now I have lyme disease, so I havent noticed any excess energy.

i don't know about you, but i love to run when i'm high! Like ultimate frizbee or fugative, or just playing in a park.
Try also getting blazed out of your mind and going swimming! great fun.

I got pretty depressed for a week or so because I started thinking too much when i got baked one time.

That shit never happens anymore though. But weed, i feel, you kind of have to be experienced with it to be able to have the best time doing certain things.

Like first two times i went skating ripped, couldn't do it for shit. But then I got better at controlling myself, now i skate better after smoking. But im not smoking for a while.... gotta save my money.

the only thing i dont like about smoking weed is my parents have caught me and my mom doesn't like it, but my dad kinda understands. i just like to do it, and i dont do it much, usually just at night so i dont bother them.

dont just say fuck weed, unless you go out and ski. its teh best, you get super concentrated, and its just nice. also go to a ropeswing. thats even more fun.

i know what you are saying about the friends thing.. one of my friends got into it and i stoped hanging out with him cuz its all he would do... then a year ago we started to hang out again and he said he hated doing drugs and shit cuz he stopped hanging out with his true friends.. he said "drugs ruined my life" and i will always remember that.. but then i think he got into it again cuz he stopped hangin out with me and some old friends... i call him every once in a while though.... just try to get your friends to do active shit like fishing, boating, skiing, biking, anything besides smoking and they might turn around..

i didnt read anyone elses posts but heres my opinion. you are taking the fact that all your friends smoke weed way to seriously. its not that big of a deal. im guessing you are a sophmore in highschool? somewhere around there. in a few years you are going to see how harmless weed really is and how common it is for people to use it.
 i have depression as well, and i feel that smoking weed actuially helps me A LOT with that. since ive been on probation and not been able to smoke i have been so much more depressed than i am when i can smoke weed. ive tried meds and they just piss me off, i feel like a robot when im on them. when  you get high dont think about yourself and criticize yourself. take it easy, relax, youre with your friends having a good time. If those kids were really as good of friends to you as you say they were why does one decision they make change your whole veiw about them? they like to get high. so what? im sure they dont put a pipe in your mouth and force you do get high with them. just relax and have a good time with your friends wether you are lifted or not.

like many people have said, weed (like many psychoactive substances) is a mood amplifier - if youre already feeling good, then it'll probably make that good feeling better. in the same way, it can make any bad feeling more powerful and i think that's why it makes people paranoid when theyre high and can lead people to depressive/schitzophrenic episodes.

don't smoke fine, there's nobody that should make you do or not do that it should be a personal choice. but don't disown your friends because of it. maybe it's the exact opposite for them, you just gotta let them do their thing too and lear to accept it. you can't throw everyone away because they do one thing that you don't like. not cool!

seems like you're trying a little too hard to be perfect too. like dude why do you think so many people become depressed, and why do you think that you got depressed when you were high? it's probably because you felt like you were letting someone down. you can't always be the best, stronges, perfect guy. you gotta accept the fact that you're gonna fuck up and miss a few days of running, but in the end it's that fact that you tried to put in that extra effort.

i used to smoke every day, and it was great. it depends on the person, but for me it just got to the point where i smoked so much, it lost its flavor. i just stopped and I haven't smoked for like 4 months now.

another thing about weed that bugs me, in most cases, is that is kills your ambitions. im sure a lot of you can relate when you smoke with your buddies, you sit down and go, "now what?" and you just keep sitting there. doing jack shit.

I agree to this fully! Me and my whole group of friends blaze multiple times each day. I probably smoke 3 or 4 times a day during my entire junior year, and i had the highest grades of my high school career, while i managed 3 AP classes. If you are motivated to make it work and fit with your lifestyle and demands, then it's for you. If it isn't, I really am trully sorry, you're missing out man.

I've never tried weed for a couple reasons, mainly I don't because I know I'll be better off without it.

My buddy who occasionally smokes has now tripped twice in the past couple months.

First time he had a "epiphany" and an out of body experience, so he says. His buddies had to drag him home.

Second, he was hiking, blazed, then started trippin. His heart rate was 160 and started to have seizures. Search and rescue took him off the mountain and to the hospital.


All I'm trying to say is I used to think weed had very few adverse effects, but now I know it can mess up certain kinds of people, so be careful

i had the same thing, but with alcohol. all my friends started to drink at least once a week few years ago. i tried it, i got drunk, it was fun for maybe 2 hours, but after that i just felt like crap. after some time when i got sick of drinking just to be with my friends, so i stopped. we are still friends, but i dont do anything with them anymore.

However it sounds like you have other shit going on in your life that could be leading to that. If your bored and don't have any friends other then those, then I doubt it's the reefer makin u feel that way.

it all depends on mindset and situation. sometimes when you smoke, you know imediately you aren't with the right kids or no in the right place and then you regret it. you have to know when you want to do it, and when its going to be fun.

i love weed,
i quit over the school year though and in that time my friends that i used to smoke with have moved on to crack and stuff.
which inspired me to only smoke every once in a while.
