>yeah anon you go ahead we'll join you later
They're missing almost every workouts now. I wish my friends never touched this. They've changed so much, we used to do so much stuff and have fun. Now they just stay in the dorm and watch videos and giggle.

I smoke weed every day and hit the gym 5 times a week. Stop acting like it was weed that did this and accept that your friends were just lazy and never committed in the first place.
No they weren't like this before smoking this shit
what’s good homie
Holy frick i keep seeing this exact post in different threads am I going insane what the frick is it even supposed to mean
I agree with you anon
T. Was someone that dropped out of life for 5 years due to smoking weed heavy for 3 years cause it gave me induced psychosis lol.
I lost about 19 years to weed and booze. Managed to get a BAS in accounting while high all the time so I’m not completely fricked. Have had professional jobs for the last decade; quit weed and booze just over 2 years ago. Lost 70# and got my CPA since I quit
>t Kratom addict, trying to quit that now
Well done man. If you can quit weed + booze, I have faith you can overcome your Kratom dependency
kratom is the hardest thing i’ve ever had to quit, and i was prescribed 4mg klonopin daily for years
you’re as bad as the “just smoke weed bro” gays. just accept that your friends don’t like you and don’t like your nagging
fpbp
Weed alone isn't going to make you lazy piece of shit. Yeah obviously if you can't control yourself smoking weed all day is not going to make you very productive, but like many mind altering substances there is upside in therapeutic doses. Like nearly everything in life, it's all about moderation. If you hit the gym 2 hours a day doing nothing but bicep curls without any rest days you'd have a shit physique in the best case scenario.
Ultimately they were looking for an excuse to not workout and didn't mean that much to them. Student athletes that drop out of sports who have a drug habit that gets out of hand were either burning out already and/or have other problems in their life the physical activity alone wasn't helping them deal with.
Even for genuinely addictive substances there's research that its not simply the pharmacology at play but in many cases there's a social aspect. These people lack genuine connections with other people and fill that void with their relationship, their dependence, on the substance.
That's not true at all. Most of the people I hang out with smoke or do some form of cannabis. Some do so very regularly, others are like the 1 beer with dinner type. I do so only very occasionally and I wish I did it more. But as is I get a great high from it because I don't really build up tolerance. It's fun when you're hanging with friends. The friends who do regularly use have recognized at times when they're smoking a lot and take tolerance breaks, months long in some cases. When you're dealing with that kind of tolerance level any kind of effect be it favorable or not is going to be much more muted anyhow.
You can't even compare problematic drinking with heavy cannabis use. One is literally poison that the body can tolerate in specific very limited amounts while the other simply suffers from a bad delivery system sometimes.
illegible and gay
Coffee is more "addictive" than weed. If your self-serving definition of addiction is that someone does it a lot, I guess I'm addicted to reading books and drinking water.
Not a stoner by the way. Weed does nothing for me, I just think it's moronic that so many profess and probably even believe they're addicted to ridiculous things like the internet.
Get a job
I'm fairly sure weed as per the amount of dopamine it releases is literally better than sex.
Yeah anon, literally a youth stealer, yet pushed on kids, really makes you think. Make new friends, you seem smart.
>queue the "actually it motivates me to do stuff"
It doesn't motivate, but it makes lifting easier when you have chronic pain.
Pharmacists call it "effective dose" when you use as little as possible to get the desired effect. It can be tough balancing it, and some people can't which makes it not worth it for them
Why would you have chronic pain at 20yo unless some extremely rare case
Man shut your b***h ass up junky.
cue
Youth enhancer more like. The amount of sex and friendships I made through pot as a teenager and 20 something was like I was on a varsity sports team for getting high. Also
>queue
Watch how your friends will start to lie, will become amoral and stop having any sort of remorse
Weed is literally a soulkiller
I haven't seen these extremes yet, but one time they had almost none left and you could feel the tension between them I was really disgusted by this, the way they talked to each other and monitored how much everyone got, I just left the room, I didn't say a word
Glad you were able to break free anon. What was the trigger, why did you decide to quit?
If i played GTA, watched porn, or suffered any intrusive thought, I would ruminate and take it on board and think that it was a precursor to becoming a psychopath so became agoraphobic lol, lost all the love I had for myself and then whenever I drank I would burn bridges with close ones cause I resented anyone that had enough love for themselves that they could share it. Of course this was weed paired with porn / no vit D / easy-dopamine shit like binge drinking, so it was a mess but weed was a road block for my self-awarness.
You're mates wont change unless they realise that binging weed stacks the odds against they're potential - for example, how many stoners skip class coupled with research articles stating that one of the biggest indicator of academic success is attendance.
Otherwise the trick is to get them to get a new perspective through new hobbies / non-weed environments. Which incidentally is what I did.
Swallowed my pride, moved back home, still smoke and drank as a coping strategy for my OCD like symptoms but eventually you can only burn so many bridges before it catches up with you at which point I realised that the value of being lucid and challenging my destructive thoughts was worth more than the value I got from escaping myself. Took long enough lol.
Gl to you and your mates anon.
>I realised that the value of being lucid and challenging my destructive thoughts was worth more than the value I got from escaping myself. Took long enough lol.
Good on you bro. Some people don't have this realization until it's way too late to turn things around.
Your really lookin for the best in your 'friends' huh?
Whats your deal?
Friendship is not unconditional. You became friends in the first place because certain conditions were met.
bad company corrupts good character
Most people quit the gym within a year, I've been going for a decade now and there are very few faces that have stuck around.
i usually take a hit or two before I get on my bike.
Perhaps its not the bud, its going to the gym with you they are avoiding.
Disgusting stoner. Why can't you guys admit you have a problem? Alcoholics admit it at least
It's not doing anything to me other than affecting my lungs over the next several decades. I can and have stopped several times
Yeah it totally doesn't affect the brain negatively duuude
If smoking weed is such a great past time why do you brag about being able to stop? You should be smoking more weed as often as you can of weed is good. Or May e, maybe you know deep down that it’s affecting you in a negative way.
If exercising is such a good past time, why are you bragging about being able to stop? You should be exercising more as often as you can if exercise is good. Or May e, just maybe you know deep down that it's affecting you in a negative way.
>Haha, working out? It’s no big deal I can stop anytime I want
No one says this. Only junkies do.
I don't need to stop, so I don't. That simple.
where's the problem?
Weed and video games ruin certain people, but it's such a subdued and casual ruination that society will never admit they're bad.
Way more people have their lives ruined by alcohol every year, yet that shit is the most advertised product in every super bowl.
Alcohol is overt. You drink too much and end up homeless or in jail because you killed someone.
Video games and weed are subdued. You reach the end of your life having done nothing, having no deeper relationships, having lived a life in a closed off box of consumption.
That shit can happen to you regardless of what vices you indulge in. You really think you're gonna look back on all the time you wasted on IST when you're on your death bed?
IST is a gambling addiction, just like much of the Internet.
It's a social media addiction. Gambling addiction is when you keep turning money into thin air.
It's the same skinner box addiction. You're pulling the lever with every post and (You)s are your payout. Attention is worth more than money to some people.
In the end every addiction is based on dopamine triggers. I wouldn't call IST a gambling addiction, though, otherwise sex and drugs would be gambling addictions as well.
Here, good boy, get some. Who’s a good boy? Yeeeah you are.
Stupid Black person why are posting so much and expecting yous, Ive been on this site since I was 13 years old in 2008 and I mostly lurk except every once and a while to call homosexuals like you israelite, or Black person. Stop posting candy ass roodypoo
Good anon
The problem is that weed gives you the impression that you're indulging in a great, important and life improving activity. The thing is, the wisdom and insights you have on weed are real. Anyone who denies it doesn't know what he's talking about. But it has side effects. You get lost too much in details and lose the bigger picture. It's like you're renovating a house and ending up painting one single wall perfectly while enjoying y it and thinking you're doing the greater job ever, which might be true.
I was in that trap for ~7 years, so deep in it that I didn't want to stop because I was afraid to lose my superpowers. I haven't consumed weed in almost a year, I can't watch movies anymore now after watching one every day for years, but that's just how it is. At least I can read books again. And I really wonder what the frick happened in all those years.
Alcohol doesnt have addicts coping and running defense for it every time the topic comes up.
>This is bad
>WHY TALK ABOUT THIS BAD WHEN THERE'S THIS OTHER?! LOOK LOOK LOOK
shut up moron. Everyone knows alcoholism is bad and alcohol gets proper condemnation
Depends what you mean by "ruined"
There are easily far more people wasting their weekends and lives on video games every weekend. Plenty of people are going to wake up one day and wonder where the last 10 years went. The "achievements" and "trophies" are also very dangerous because they give people a false sense of accomplishment
>my addiction isn't bad because another is worse
"Getting your hand cut off isn't such a big deal, there are people with their arm cut off! "
>subdued and casual ruination
What do you mean by this? I smoke weed and play video games but i also have a full-time job where i work outside and lift heavy things. I feel pretty fulfilled and not ruined. I am an addict though, it's kinda sad how often I crave/want to smoke weed. And when I'm out of weed I get really annoyed and pissy
For a second I thought you were talking about food and obese people. My mistake.
This.
Step 1: Stop inviting them to the gym
Step 2: Gradually start showing less interest in spending time with them, talk to them less
Step 3: Make new friends that are better
It's that easy.
Same with porn as well
I agree. Check out my cb
drugs are for homosexuals that think life is too easy or conversely they are too smart and they need to stoop to "normie" levels to get by, good riddance.
Sativa workout bros....
Your friends are just lazy, sober or not.
This. I’m about hit the sativa, bike to the gym, and lift. Then bike home, stop for some lamb on a stick on the way, and then burry my face between a woman’s ass cheeks. OPs friends are just lazy.
NOOO AHHH the DEVIL'S lettuce!!!!
DARE SAID SO!!!!
You should come to church with me on Sunday anon.
Oh shit, thanks for the reminder. I’ll stop by Church before the gym
Someone has been seething about their stoner friends using op image for months now. Maybe they just don't want to hang out with you op
i'm addicted to weed for the past year but i'm still fit as frick so idk. i really wanna quit tho cuz it's expensive but im sooooo fricking bored otherwise
Chronic weed usage limits REM sleep and therfore limits recovery. I never dreamt while I was using the stuff. Once you quit hopefully your brain repairs and vivid dreams can return.
vivid dreams mean u sleep badly dumb frick deep sleep is more important than rem sleep
No. Both are equally as important, and without proper REM sleep your brain functionality suffers. An ideal sleeper has both periods without dreams they can remember and periods with vivid dreams.
You act like a jimmy
weed destroyed my friend group
it started very fun at the beginning as it made anything x10 times better ( or at least that was the feeling during novelty). We would hang out, smoke a bit and do different outdoor activities and have a great time.
Then one summer it started to become a fun killer. We would hang out to ride our bikes, stop after 15 min to smoke then spend the rest of the time smoking. Play a football match, smoke at half time and never come back for the second half. And this with everything.
We literally stopped doing any activities and just messaged each other to meet somewhere and smoke there.
It's been almost 10 years and they still hang out every other day to smoke, only difference is that they do it at each others houses now. The conversations are quite sad too, all about what they smoked last week, what they are going to buy or that time they got high somewhere.
Sometimes I think how different it would have been if we didn't have fun the first time doing it, or if we said no the first time someone offered.
Weed and vidya literally steal your youth.
>not getting high and not getting on the bike for 45 mins
are you even trying anon?
It sounds like they just don't want to work out with you. Maybe make a few new buddies at the gym and learn to not resent your old friends. You can do different things with different friends, you know.
Don't become a fitcel self-improover that feels like they need to cut out everyone that doesn't 100% share your values. You'll end up miserable and alone if you do.
if you had to be a degenerate stoner how often would you partake in order to maintain brain good function welly? Two weeks? Once a month?
See her in DUNE. For Christ's sake she get more beautiful as time goes by.
just smoke at night
Oh my frick have I grown to hate weed. I know so many good people what are just totally fricked by weed addiction. At least drunks know they have a problem. These frickers make 9001 excuses for their addiction.
I smoke weed everyday and I do cardio in the mornings with a brosplit in the afternoon 6 days a week. The weed doesn't help. It's about discipline.
What exactly is the distinction between regular use and addiction (for any drug)?
regular use is addiction
The addict has to say he isn't addicted.
Weed destroyed my college friend group too anon. It was so much fun at first, but it started making me anxious so I had to stop. Eventually just had to stop hanging out with my friends because all they ever wanted to do was smoke. The first thing they'd do in the morning and the last thing they'd do at night was take a hit. They all stopped working out and studying. Three of them ending up failing their classes and dropping out. One tried to quit but kept giving up because he couldn't sleep without smoking. Shit is a silent killer. It steals your life force and motivation. And stoners will never admit it. It's the last thing they'll blame.
I grew up in a family of potheads and warned my friends, over two decades ago, not to get into it. Most of them didn't listen. Two of them did (not surprising they're doing quite well). The former group has extremely pathetic lives; at some point they've all confessed to me that they're depressed/suicidal. Even into their late 30s they spend a huge chunk of the day high on this skunky shit. Imagine that, hundreds of thousands of hours just gone, wasted on a fricking plant. I have a question for you anons - do you actually know successful potheads IRL? I literally don't know any, and yet online they all claim to be astrophysicists and shit.
This one friend of mine was a "normal" dude, he played vydia, sometimes hang out with his other group of friends, rarely got drunk, then he started his IST journey (he was obese, now is skinnyfat) and started to go to parties and clubs. He ever said to me that he never smoked weed but a couple months after this he did, now not only he smoke weed but always have to be with a vape. Recently I discovered from other friends of mine that he started shrooms.
This shit is the biggest gateway to other drugs and possibly arruining your life. Literally everyone knows that one stoned that is completely moronic and spineless.
it's terrible for people. I can't stand the smell.
>be me
>don't drink
>don't smoke
>don't eat fast food
>read bible
>pay my taxes
>pray
>buy a IST pass
that's all a man needs in life
simple as
I recently got an apartment and all three of my roommates are complete losers who work minimum wage jobs and play video games literally all day. they also drink a ton and smoke weed nonstop. The craziest part is, they're my age. they live off pizza and monster, don't exercise, socialize, or really do anything besides laze around.
hearing them screaming into their gamer headsets every night is a sobering reminder of what happens when you give up on life. I'm glad I didn't go that route. I thought I was behind in life, because I just barely started a job in my field 2 years after finishing college, until I met them.
I'm really glad I never got into weed. I might try shrooms though, only because I heard they help with songwriting.
The thing about weed, is that at low doses of thc it boosts GABA and lowers glutamate, however when someone is 'stoned' it's the total other way around, which causes all of the anxiety, paranoia, thought loops stuttering etc. Dose dependant substance for sure which very few people talk about.
What are you suposed to feel? I smoked it for the first time recently and only felt something like input lag
Weed is based and gets you b***hes. Lifting is gay cope and gets you no b***hes
No one cares
lmao, you have to be over 18 to post here
want to have an addiction and get b***hes? do coke
I have smoked weed for 23 years. In the last 4 years I started eating my pot with meals. I feel better after eating the pot with a meal because the head high does not happen. Body feels great.
Honestly I started lifting more after weed became legal here.
lol, who the frick trimmed that weed? Amateur hour
I was the same, never touched the stuff until I graduated high school and committed to my local university. I was addicted for 4 years, got kicked out of school near the tail-end of my sophomore year, and worked 2 part-time jobs immediately after for a year.
I remember the day I decided to quit very vividly: I was at a kickback with my friends (they had just popped MDMA and started practicing their shuffling for an upcoming festival) while my best friend (and dealer) and I were prepping to take reverse gravity bong rips in the pool. I packed my bowl and smoked my entire bowl, and immediately, the aroma of chlorine and smell/taste of weed made me sick to my stomach. I glanced at my reflection in the pool and I couldn’t help but feel so fricking pathetic about what I was doing and how I was feeling. I sat down and thought about things for about 10 minutes before I decided to go home.
that was the last time I saw those guys, blocked and deleted them from social media, phones, etc. I applied for reinstatement and went back to school 2 months later on academic probation for 2 semesters (which I passed), then quit my second job to focus on graduating. Managed to graduate 3 years later with 2 Bachelor degrees and 2 certificates after slowing down my course load. Then, I got into two separate grad programs, one of which I got a full ride scholarship for, and graduated from both 3 years after I started them.
I can’t help but think how great my life is now, but I can’t imagine how much better it would have been had I not touched the stuff. I am glad I did quit when I did, that group of friends all live sad lives, 3 of them also died of ODs (they had just gotten into experimenting with cocaine before I cut them off).
Smoking pot is so gay
yeah it sucks, lost 2 good friends to it
get new ones, they will turn into pieces of shit fast, there is no point in trying to keep friendships like that going
>DUDE WEED
>all these salty homies in the thread talking about how they lost friends
Your were never really close with them to begin with
Frick you Quentin, Im gonna go smoke a fat blunt and a then a fat pole. You go to your gay ass
>gym
Smoking weed is childish.
I cannot see a >23yo man digging that shit.
It's dirty. You smell. You look dizzy.
Overall look is of a person that does not keep a good hygiene.
This, if you didnt either go straight edge or switched to hard drugs past the age of 23 you are basically a manchild
Its not the dude weed lmao ers or even the 420 smoke weed everyday bros that are the most tiresome.
Its the frickin "why are weedbros so in your face about it REEEEE" voices that are the most consistent and uncreative.
Im over it.
At least if a stoner stops smoking they're back in God's good graces according to you incurable drooling inbred pack animals.
When its to the point where its a plant that comes out of the garden, which is like half the us, you guys really just oughta let it go and frick off.
can confirm it just makes you waste away your life when you smoke all day every day
The problem I have with adult weed smoking friends is they try too hard despite generally being losers. Taking shit job after shit job doing call support with no higher aspirations, ugly obese wives/girlfriends. Non of that would be the issue for me though, the issue is the discussions they have while smoking. They always attempt to discuss religion or politics seemingly as a means to not feel like they’re just getting high and wasting time sitting on their ass but instead being productive. And they way they are in these conversations is downright moronic.
>BIDENNNN!!!
>TRUMP BAD!!!
>CHRISTIANITY CRINGE AND BAD!!!
>israelite RELIGION GOOD!!!
You can offer an opposing POV or argument without criticizing or attacking theirs in any way whatsoever, not even necessarily supporting the opposing side just correcting the gals etchings they said, and they get offended and start insinuating you’re some extremist bad person. It’s ridiculous. Sorry homosexual I’m the not the one settling for a my 600lb life disloyal woman who’s gaining fat himself stuck in a dead end job taking Facebook news outlet stances as a way of claiming a form of moral superiority here like a complete NPC sheep, that’s you.
These same gays wonder why I never hang out with them anymore or why I choose to smoke weed alone in my house/with my girlfriend only or why I no longer smoke as much as I once did with them. I smoke at most one weekend a month, usually going months without touching it. Once a year I’ll take a 1-3 week vacation and use it for half the duration.
False things they said**
i smoke weed every day and hit the gym 5 times a week. In fact, you can even integrate weed in your routine if done right. Everything else is just cope. Either stoners coping they're lazy or IST's coping they aren't mentally strong enough to hit weed and work out.
dude weed lmao is not only an overrated drug but it negatively affects you as you described
It's 100% a psyop that it's supposed to be fine in moderation and that it's harmless
>dude weed lmao is not only an overrated drug
It's not overrated, it's better than alcohol. But it should be enjoyed very infrequently if you want to be healthy.
if you want to be healthy never smoke it lmao
comparing a drug to alcohol is easy
True. Unless it has therapeutic purposes, total abstinence is usually more healthy than any amount of moderate consumption.
>Thread about weed opinion
>Instant 100+ replies of seething at said opinion
Every. Single. Time.
By the way I have never smoked weed and never will.
Successful don’t smoke weed
I wouldn't correlate it. I hated exercise so much I literally gave myself cholinergic urticaria by doing nothing, and that was before I touched weed.
Is anyone else like this
>life is going well
>smoke some weed
>go schizo mode
>life gone to shit
>just leaving the house feels like going to war
>get stoned
>suddenly more comfortable being a part of society
Trick them into eating peyote and strand them in (close to civilization) woods. Sink or swim.
