Boredom, apathy, tar in your lungs, reduction in short term memory that doesn't fully recover if you quit. Depending on what age you start it may stunt brain development.

Nothing terrible
>>
Your short-term memory can/will deteriorate after a few years of frequent use. You can become addicted to it but only mentall, not physically.

sause: Pretty much me right now after 4 years smoking erryday

The most important about weed is you gotta learn when it's ok to smoke and when not
>>
The first times might be a bit scary. You could get paranoia or can become nauseous. You will get thirsty and hungry and will most likely have problems with your blood pressure and / or heart rate.
Nothing of it is permanent. It will not hurt or kill you. If you get some negative emotions during the high, just relax and remember: this will pass.

And the next few times tend to get better and better.
>>
It cost money
>>
Physical addiction - no.
Mental dependency - yes, to a degree of you smoke frequently for a long period of time, but easy to step away from.

You'll caugh, and like any smoke inhalation, tar buildup will occur with long term use.

Other than that, the shit's great.

Wouldn't recommend smoking much before 20 years old or so because of certain brain development issues though.

Funny story, Todd Glass the comedian used to get that heart attack feeling when he would smoke. Eventually he actually did have a heart attack when he was high and nobody believed him at first. I doubt weed was the cause though

I smoked a fat bowl on my way to work. Ill smoke another one at lunch and more tonight when i get home. Im anout to climb on a 30 foot industrial roof and nake 1200 in a week. Fuck motivation.

Rare side effects are hallucinations, auditory hallucinations that I know of.

Smoking weed can and will make you paranoid depending on your environment. Other then that I don't know of any others for actual side effects.

OP, gonna talk from self experience here. Not read the thread yet so sorry if I'm just repeating stuff.

Weed is really good and pretty shit at the same time. Using it to get high is great, especially with friends. But when you start using it to feel normal or alright then is starts to become a crutch. I'm at that point; perfectly happy and able to function while I have weed and a bit of a mess without it.

To be balanced, I have other medical conditions so it's not necessarily going to be a problem for you. The thing to remember is that you won't see it becoming a problem until it is.

Still better than any other drug addiction as far as I'm concerned, and it's still something I enjoy. Treat it with care and don't listen to people who say it's not a big deal, because it can be.

Don't smoke if you're under 21 or so, and don't smoke if you're a degenerate or have any kind of mental illness that you can't maintain control of. Don't fall into the 100% safe trap. No psychoactive substance is ever 100% safe.
Respect it and it'll respect you.

Boy, you sure do type like you've been smoking since you were 14. Put down the pipe once in a while and pick up a book. Reading 4chan posts does not count.

>>674388196
I think of you treat pot with respect and be vigilant that it is a hallucinogen that you'll be okay fam. Be aware of your set and setting, because when care starts to fade with that, that's when you find yourself in a pickle, myself at least

Smoked weed everyday for about 5 years, after the first 6 months it's not even fun anymore. Had a friend that I personally visited in a mental hospital, who was my smoking partner for the whole time, doctors suspected was because of weed as no known mental disorders, none in family etc. He's on medication now, 10 years on and is abused almost daily by people within the community for being a nut, we don't live in a very nice area.

I'm an incredibly anxious and panicky person, recently started on anti-depressants last year, for me I attribute this to my constant, daily anxiety disorder, which only started after I'd started smoking weed regularly; in my opinion weed fucks up your brain if you use it too much.

Mostly this. Plus THC is fat-soluble, so it gets stuck into your neurons, thus reducing your mental skills.

if i smoke daily for too long it makes me lazy and unmotivated to do stuff, i love it and hate it.


what most daily smokers have in common is; strongly dislike running into/talking to casual acquaintances when high and weed always needs to be present when hanging out together.

Made me lazy as FUK
Lost any ambition to succeed in life
Got fat from the munchies
Made me real soft in situations i'd like to be assertive
Food bill from munchies
Scary as fuk when the police drug test you at rbt's
Watched all my mates (who also smoked) turn into massive looser's going backwards in life ( i was there with them)

I still smoke maybe once a fortnight, but as a person i am 10000% happier now that i barely touch it, i too ws at first like ''hurrr its harmless, everybody should smoke it''.

Been around the stuff for about 8 years op, im 25. Hope this is ov some value to you.

I should also add, that's how it effected me, it may effect you differently, you might not get lazy ect.

Try edibles if you're seeking that. You can't smoke 7 grams in half an hour, but you sure can eat 7 grams in half an hour

Recent studies suggest that long-term "heavy" usage (once a day is extremely heavy for their standards) has long-lasting, possibly permanent damage to your brain.

It was on the news here not too long ago so should be something you can look up on google.

Long term negative side effect?

How about never having a career. Even if you can fake a drug test, apathy will keep you from success.

The choice is yours... Feed your head or earn some bread.

Thc is fat soluable, and accumulates in your system, the more you injest it. Over time this will turn you onto an inert blob of fucktard.

>>674388196
Only problem I've had is that my tolerance raises FAST. But I'm more an edible person. But after going about a week or 2 of consistent usage, the amount necessary to feel anything jumps by a lot. Now I need a whole bite to feel what a nibble used to do
>>
>>674388196

Smoked almost everyday for about 3 years but stopped a few weeks ago.

It made me extremely lazy and became a convenient substitute for socialising. Basically I'd run home from class (or skip class) to smoke weed.

>>674388196
Your thinking gets smaller and shorter, if u smoke every day u will experience that u can only think like an hour ahead.

You risk getting bad trips wich can give u permanent high ringtones in your ears or inside ur head, hallucinations because when you smoke your fantasy and subconcious mind get these tiny holes in them. This is also why people tend to see shadows following them or get paranoid. Some people get seriously insane and can get voices in their heads and so on. For others its more about their habbits and personality that fucks up, wich mostly leads to depression, antisocial anxiety, bad dreams, shadowseeing, extreem lazyness.

i have tried some of the things and i still hear the ringtone in my hear. i am 21.

of course i am talking about smoking more than 5 joints a week leading up to more than one a day.

I've dabbled in the marijuanas, and honestly, I see no problem as long as you maintain some discipline. Don't smoke it every fucking day, because you will lose motivation to do anything in your life. I already had no motivation and smoking weed just left me with no desire to do anything positive. I haven't touched the stuff in a while and I've lost 2stone and got a couple of job interviews.

Paranoia.

After seeing this, you are probably right. I tend to smoke only during semester break, because if I get some weed, I smoke it till it's gone. During semester I stop going to campus and so on. I guess I started to early.
>>
>>674390510
It's a matter of self discipline. If you have the incentive to go and do whatever it is you need to do, you'll be fine.
Generally if I'm high, and I have something important to do, I generally do it straight away because I overthink what might happen if I become lazy and neglect my responsibilities.

In a roundabout way, paranoid thinking helps me a little.

>>674388196
you can become very bipolar but its not permanent but its mostly only if you already have some what anger problems it might also become kinda of addicting in a sense that you wanna do it again because you are bored or something and its not cheap depending on where you live

This really just depends on who you are. If you're a lazy person and you start smoking weed this might happen to you. But lack of motivation is definitely not BECAUSE of weed.

Negative effects on senses. Smoking can lead to a decreased sense of taste and of smell.

>>674389492
Totally agree. If you smoke everyday and you re getting used, dont try some harder drugs because it will probably be fuckin hard to stop thoses shitty drugs. If you re getting used to the weed effects because you smoke everyday, just stop to smoke for a couple of days. Weed isnt an addictive drug, mentally and physically, so you can stop it anytime if you really want. After a couple of days, you will be fuckin high, like the first times, until you will getting used again.

Because I was getting used to weed effect after some years smoking 7days/7, I started to do others drugs more than often to finally become a cocaine addict. At least it wasnt meth or crack or heroin, but I ruined myself with this expensive shit. Now im ok, I only smoke weed and when i need more than a gram to be high, I stop one week. Im doing this since 2011 and its work.

Depends, if used infrequently no worries.

If you are smoking evey day/alot you will become 'depednant' and there is a chance of psychosis or other mental illness if you abuse it. Remember you are fucking with your bodies chemical balance, some people will be fine smoking alot often, others will fuck up their life. It's really dependant on the individual and you have to smoke it and see.

Daily smoker for years here.

Just because weed is safer than alcohol, treat it with respect and don't do stereotypical stoner shit and wake and bake every day. I love getting high, but don't pretend that because it isn't booze or crack that doing it all day every day is normal. If you wake up every day and shotgun a few beers to feel normal, people would agree that you have a drinking problem, but for some reason people (stoners) don't feel the same about weed.

I smoke on the weekends and occasionally on a weeknight, but I always make sure that I'm in control of it, not the other way around. That and if you are <21, just wait. It's a fun time but it absolutely does impact your frontal lobe development if you smoke frequently during teenage years etc., same with drinking

I personally can fuck up pretty badly from time to time. When coming back from a tolerance break I might take a few dabs, then proceed to gain about 10 lbs in a week which takes me about a month to lose lol

otherwise, you know drowsy looking eyes. But then again this is concentrate and not just regular weed
