It just makes me paranoid. Spliff being round a party of 10...im the only person who didn't accept. Everyone seems to love it. Am i missing something?

We partake in some weekly spliff enjoyment-this week it was a homemade spacecake from a friend with homegrown plants.
No one would ever know to look at me that I enjoy it on occasion, yanbu not to enjoy it. I don't enjoy getting drunk!

100PercentThatBitch · 22/09/2019 00:22

I haven't smoked that much, fingers of both hands probably

Never done anything much for me.

Either I'm doing it wrong or it's seriously overhyped.

The link with psychiatric disorders is off putting too

Never touched it. I never quite understood the point in something that changes how you feel within. I want to be me and feel me. The idea of not being in control of me absolutely terrifies me.

Of course it won't suit everyone, some people can't handle booze, some can't handle caffeine, it's all V personal

HaileySherman · 22/09/2019 00:35

Nope I don't like it at all either. Sometimes I wish I did, it seems like the least harmful high around. I just don't.

OkPedro · 22/09/2019 00:40

joblotbubble Do you not drink alcohol either?
I smoked hash back in the day Grin
It only ever made me paranoid
I know about 5 people who smoke it regularly they thankfully have never experienced mental health problems because of it.
So no op you really aren’t the only person in the world who doesn’t smoke it

joblotbubble · 22/09/2019 00:41

Do you not drink alcohol either?

No I don't.

TemporaryPermanent · 22/09/2019 00:47

Never tried it, not bothered to. I'm scared of my ds trying it because there are two people with schizophrenia in his close family and any drug seems like a risk, particularly illegal ones.

Ozziewozzie · 22/09/2019 00:50

I’m with you. I’ve never tried it, and I can’t stand the smell. Definitely don’t see what the attraction is.

OkPedro · 22/09/2019 00:52

I wasn’t asking that in a sarky way joblotbubble I was just curious Smile

PickAChew · 22/09/2019 00:54

Rather have a nice warm bath. I did accept and it was nothing special.

milliefiori · 22/09/2019 00:56

You're not alone. Hate the stuff. Hate the stink, makes me feel sick. Hate the effect it has on people who claim it has no side effect on them, yet they are lacklustre and vague and never quite get round to achieving anything and how it creates low mood and paranoia and how it triggers psychosis in some people and yet is still classified as a mild drug. And how it sends some sweet teens right off the rails and they end up being low life dealers, mooching around on their bikes, with hoodies pulled up all summer long, when I remember them as bright eyed lively kids with a passion for life.

Ginseng1 · 22/09/2019 01:17

Done weed about 10 times. Only once I rem it being great, literally giggled n laughed my head off all night. Any other time I've had it its either made me sleepy r nauseous n paranoid. So I gave up on it as that was obvs a one off for me!

Sizeofalentil · 22/09/2019 01:33

Isn't it supposed to be genetic whether it works for you or not? I don't like it, but I don't smoke either so wasted on me probably

Oysterbabe · 22/09/2019 01:57

I don't know anyone who smokes weed.

TooManyPaws · 22/09/2019 02:00

Never did a thing for me. The only people I know who use it have chronic disabilities and pain.

I enjoy smoking it every now and then it just makes me feel nice and relaxed and really spaced out.

Beautiful3 · 22/09/2019 04:42

My bil had used it daily over 20 years. He gave it up last year when he developed mental health problems. His doctor attributed it going term use of cannabis. He used to be happy go lucky and laid back now he gets suspicious and thinks the world hates him. He causes arguements over nothing. He believes things happened that arent true. He says hes seen a parallel universe and hes trapped in the wrong one. Scary all round.

I am an oldie now, pensioner, but years ago,and still,I have chronic insomnia, So years ago,my son now 48,was at uni when he was about 20,and he knew too well about my lack of sleep, He did not smoke weed, but he came home to visit one weekend,and said, here you go Mum, this will make you sleep. I said omg its cannabis and a drug ha ha, anyhow,I had three puffs of the spliff, and felt so tired after,,went to bed, and had the best nights sleep for years, But never had any ever again. apparently he got the cannabis from a uni friend, and told the friend that is mum needed some drugs back home ha ha.

MrsTeaspoon · 22/09/2019 05:36

I’ve never tried it. Not anti cannabis but not interested in being out of control. I also have never liked peer pressure and feel a lot of people in ‘party’ situations spliff because of the people around them doing so.
As a mid-teen I saw a lot of it as my older sister’s fiancé and his friends would have their bong out a lot, and an ex of mine was a very heavy user - each to their own but you are definitely not alone in not liking it.

kalinkafoxtrot45 · 22/09/2019 05:49

I detest the smell of it, and it makes me horribly depressed. So if it’s being pass d around at a party I won’t have any, and tbh the horrible pong would probably make me leave. I don’t think it’s as innocuous as it’s painted - seen too many people develop MH problems after heavy use.

JustAnotherPoster00 · 22/09/2019 05:54

seen too many people develop MH problems after heavy use.

Correlation does not mean causation

Monty27 · 22/09/2019 06:00

Each to their own bag.
But you don't have to be pious about it if you don't like it. And no, clearly you're not alone. Don't worry about it. Confused

Shebertherbert · 22/09/2019 06:25

I have never tried it either. I don't drink eirger for the same reasons as Joblot
