What's weed like?

I've never smoked weed before and I don't really plan on smoking any. People totally lose motivation in life when they pick up weed smoking as I've witnessed many, many times. But what is weed really like compared to, say, alcohol? If you smoke in the morning, then do you feel horrible a few hours later when it's worn off? If you smoke weed regularly, have you noticed a loss of personal motivation in your life pursuits?

    Imo everything depends on how much you smoke. Still i consider getting drunk much nore unhealthy and counterproductive than getting high. Again it depends on how much you drink. But if we are to achieve a similarly strong effect in either way drinking alcohol screws up your body way more and if you like to drink alot it can eventually get you depressed.

    And no, you don't feel like crap when the weed's worn off, you may feel a bit sleepy and bored though.

    Yes, weed can make people more apathetic longterms, but the ultimate source is usually in their minds, something else is preventing them from being productive through getting high all the time. While you can do anything when high alc hangovers can literally nail you down and make you sick.

    But let's make it easy. If you were high every day for a whole week you might miss a few deadlines or forget to study for a few tests, eat everything in your fridge and feel a little numb for the following couple of days, and then be ok. Now imagine being drunk for a whole week... God help you then

    I also think it's better not to even try, but people saying that in CAPS are idiots.

    I've been smoking weed on a daily basis for the past 5 years. People don't smoke it regularly get a much different effect than some one who has build up more of tolerance. When I first started smoking weed, I would laugh about almost everything, become paranoid about rather strange things, and it would last for hours. Now when I smoke it is very different. I find it relaxing, and something you can use to calm you down and be less anxious. Also I think about random things a lot deeper than I would if I wasn't high. I enjoy it, obviously, but it's not for everyone.

    Smoking weed also plays no role in my personal motivation or personal pursuits. Don't get met wrong, when I'm high, I'm not in an extremely productive mood, however my personal goals are not affected. I am a full time college student with a 3.2 average and I also work about 25 hours a week. If someone is not motivated, and has a lack of personal pursuits it doesn't have much to do with marijuna

    Ok, that's a misjudgement. SOME people lose motivation in life when they pick up weed smoking. I smoke weed everyday and hold down a 9-5 plus college 3 evenings a week. Weed de-motivates you if you let weed de-motivate you. Compared to Alcohol, weed is heavenly. You go through so many side affects after smoking weed and most of them are good. You don't wake up in the morning with a hangover or throwing up, feeling like **** like you do after you drink too much. You just feel at peace with the world, you're observant, everythings funny, you just wanna eat, you can have the best deep conversations, it sets you up for the best sleep ever, you're relaxed, in your own world. It's just great. I haven't lost any motivation. If anything, Iove going to work. After all, what's going to pay for my weed if I don't work? ;)

    lack of motivation is not from the weed its the people

    some of the hardest workers i know smoke pot regularly

    i smoked pot 10 times at least a day and never lost motivation

    lazy/unmotivated people are just that. they blame weed to have an excuse

    no it doesn't make you feel terrible after.

    weed is not addictive the reason people smoke it is they enjoy it.

    you can't overdose on weed.

    alcohol is much worse than weed.

    There's no hangover or crash after coming down from weed, though you may feel a bit fuzzy-headed. It's not really demotivating - you can be quite driven while high - but your mind is so active it can make doing nothing feel productive. So for people who aren't self-motivated, it can make work or school or whatever they "should" be doing seem less important.

    Well it comes in these rough, dried out little clumps, usually dark green or bown but sometimes in lighter tones or with dull flecks of red or gold or whatever. They sort of crumble into a coarse tea like pile, maybe just a little moist with oil or whatever and it has a very nice smell. It's pretty much like that.

    It doesn't cause hangover like alcohol but it dose make you lazy and unmotivated. That'll make you feel like crap in the long run. Honestly it feels like your putting yourself to sleep when you smoke it. I used to smoke but stopped because I had better thing to do with my life.
