The glorification of weed on this site is extremely irritating

That anxiety already exists inside of you. Weed just makes you aware of it. The more you fight that anxiety, the more you resist it, the stronger it gets.

I used to hate smoking with other people because I’d have crazy anxiety and it just wouldn’t be fun. I could smoke just fine alone. No anxiety at all.

Cleary the weed wasn’t the cause of my anxiety or else I’d get anxiety even if I smoked alone. It was a social anxiety issue. Social anxiety was something I had even when not high. It already existed within me. The weed just made me super duper aware of it when I was high in a social situation. It magnified the anxiety almost.

But it did not create the anxiety. My life experiences create that anxiety. I created it. The weed made me aware of.

I didn’t stop smoking. I smoked thru the anxiety. The weed actually helped me to deal with my anxiety issues, instead of just numbing myself to the symptoms with prescription pills.

I smoke all day long everyday now. I smoke all day long and go out in public and talk to people and I’m totally fine.

If you smoke weed and it gives you terrible anxiety, stopping isn’t a bad idea at all. But blaming the weed as the source of your anxiety will prevent you from overcoming it and growing as a person. The anxiety is already in you and has been created by all of your life experiences up until this point.

Go work on yourself.
