When I smoked weed in Amsterdam where I knew I wouldn't get arrested and people wouldn't give me a weird look for looking high all of a sudden the paranoia was gone. The plant doesn't make me paranoid, the fact that I could get caught does.
I started smoking pot when I was 15. I was always mad, anxious, depressed, and being jammed with adhd meds. that’s what my generation got. Eventually I dropped the adhd meds they were jamming down my throat with everything else, and all I do now is smoke weed. I don’t drink any alcohol I don’t take any ibuprofen or shit like that when I’m sore. I’m 28 now and am a CNC programmer and shop lead for a very respectable machine shop. I’m also a father and outdoors enthusiast. Smoking weed has been a great calming factor in my life.
All I know is when I smoke i actually think about my actions way more and I’m calmer and choose the most laid back and safe option in any situation. Sharp on point always
I'm Dutch, weed is "legal" here for all my life and I'm a regular smoker. Never get paranoid. Last November I went to Germany for a weekend off, where weed is illegal. I had some weed on me tho. The moment the train crossed the border, I got paranoid. I could even smell the weed from my bag, which I didn't notice before we crossed. Very weird experience.
I used to be a heavy cannabis user, I had to quit because it gave me anxiety and paranoia. Getting out of the house to do groceries was a mission when high.
I recently started thinking "if the government is now OKing weed, growing it, and selling it to us, then it's probably not the greatest for the mind". I've experienced being around someone diagnosed with meth induced psychosis, I have never seen anyone trip on weed unless it had space/incense or extasy in it
My experience with pot has only been that it calms me and allows me to focus, although my best friend as a kid had schizophrenia and whenever he would smoke, he would say things that were blatantly out of touch with reality, like thinking it would be cool to do bad things to women, or hurt his little brother, it was simply a negative thing for him, it all comes down to the way YOUR body reacts to it
He’s drawing the wrong conclusion...a lot of already troubled kids smoke marijuana. The anger likely comes before they start, they maybe go to smoking or other drugs looking for a crutch.
First couple years of smoking it was nothing but bliss. All day every day, couldn't get enough. But as the years went on, something switched. Might've been the result of getting older, things in life having higher stakes, etc., but I started battling paranoia nearly every time. Handful of episodes I could even describe as psychosis. There's a lot of factors at play with having a good vs bad time, but when I decided to quit for good, I'd had a great day the whole day, nothing but good vibes, so I decided to capitalize on it with an end of day smoke. Wouldn't you know, it turned my great day into a panic attack. It was then I said this shit just aint worth it.

To be fair, marijuana does have significant side-effects.

People with certain mental health issues shouldn't be having any mind altering substances. Period

let’s be honest, who really feels like hurting someone after smoking a J. definitely not me. 😴
When I smoke the last thing I want to do is start any problems 😂 you'll ruin your high

Addiction is soul destroying no matter what it is.
It's a fact pot heads abuse their fridge.
Did this guy really say he thinks more people die from weed than peanut reactions..??

Joe is being so nicely unbiased despite his evident love for getting baked
I've smoked for 15 years now and the only thing it's done to me is made me stutter
