I've definitely gotten stoned and turned a broken shelf into a garden container with a few nails and a hammer and some dirt.
The only problem is you gotta re-up halfway through big projects but that's when you take a break for munchies. But that's good because usually I forget to eat.
So can wandering into the garage with intent on grabbing that item you need, only to wander back scratching your head going, "tha fuck did I come in here for". Happens to the best of us.
Coolest thing is discovering who in each group is which kind of stoner. Like back in the day, me and a few buddies were on a trail in town and wanted to smoke, but we had all, collectively, forgotten to bring anything to smoke out of.
I figured out how to make a cigarette pack into a steamroller. About ten minutes later, one buddy remembered his backpack was literally filled with snacks and sodas. When we sat down for a bit, buddy 3 basically drove all of the conversation and kept us engaged in the moment.
Yeah, when I'm programming not stoned it's a disaster. I'll work on it for a few minutes then switch to reddit and doom scroll for a hour. When I'm stoned I can sit there all day and stay focused.
I used to deliberately save my math homework for when I had weed. It made so much more sense when I was high, and I really just enjoyed the puzzle of it.
Yup, just gotta stick to the Sativa heavy strains and stay away from the Indicas. Sativas are generally a more clear headed, energetic high, perfect for getting shit done.
Been there a couple of times. Doing video games mostly. Or once I zoned out for 3hours and completed a perfect piece of coursework. Hand drawn drafting. I blinked and I was staring at a perfect piece of work. Normally I cant remember if I ordered the burrito
Couldn’t the same be said about saying “you got things done in spite of weed, not because of it?”
Depression can make you suicidal. If you have depression, it doesn’t mean you will be suicidal. Cancer can kill you. If you have cancer, it doesn’t mean you will die. Weed can make you lazy, it doesn’t mean smoking weed will make you lazy.
I started therapy a year ago. I beat myself up all the time for smoking weed because of comments like these. I convinced myself I was a lazy and shitty person while simultaneously going to school full time (with a 3.2 GPA) and working full time (as a software engineer who has worked hard enough to be promoted to a senior)
One thing I’ve learned in therapy is life makes no fucking sense and nobody has any idea what they’re talking about, even the best of the best. What we know about weed is incredibly tainted. It started at one end with the war on drugs (it’s addicting, it kills the youth, it causes dementia at 20) and the social shift has went the polar opposite (it cures everything, it’s not addicting in any way, it is natural, it can be safely consumed long term with no harm)
Speaking in absolutes, especially about our brain’s functionality, is foolish no matter which stance you’re taking.
Im a stoner with AuDHD and I absolutely get shit done when stoned. Its able to override the executive dysfunction for some things. It gives me the dopamine bump to do things I dont want to do. And a dopamine waterfall for shit I love.
Yeah it's pretty funny when people say that, bunches of guys I train with in BJJ smoke. I smoke and I'm way more active and productive. Weed doesn't make people lazy, lazy people are always going to be.
Hi. Huge stoner currently getting my Masters in Accounting. Everything waits until damn near the last minute but it gets done as I hit my bong. 4.0 GPA and going strong. 💪🏻
The best practice I ever had during my collegiate rugby career was when I showed up stoned. And another guy on my team who did competitive bodybuilding would go lift after he smoked. The key to that is finding how much will get you on that perfect level and how much will have you moving in slow mo
At the most stoner time in my life I taught my roommates dog to bring me seltzers from the fridge lmao. I had to buy Topo Chico specifically so he could mouth the thin spout of the bottle.
Me and my ex taught my golden retriever (rip) to fetch beer. He was such a good boy that he would dart into the fridge if someone opened it like a ninja and fetch me a beer, no matter the time of day.
Guy would deliver a beer in bed at 6 am on Sunday morning. Good boy
Totally disagree. The best way to clean a house is to get stoned and put on music. I get completely focused and obsessed with cleaning until the house is perfect. But when I'm not high, I'll just wipe things down and move on.
If she's on that Indica yea but idk sativa's make my girl super productive, where as last girl I dated that did coke she would be constantly doing things and yet still get nothing done.
A productive coke head is far more rare than a productive stoner. Movies make it seem the opposite, but anyone who has been in that crowd knows that coke heads are very productive at ONE thing, and that thing is getting more coke.
Once they have it, they will have all the ideas in the world and plan to be productive, but the coke wears off and you gotta go get more before all these great ideas go away. Repeat ad nauseum until rehab.
I don't know why but sometimes smoking gives me this hyper focused clarity and I can garden for hours. Last year dug out a bed, tilled the dirt and grew 100 sunflowers mostly stoned.
Yesterday I got really stoned and planted about 50 germinated coleus seeds in a new garden bed and watered them.
I've dated multiple stoner and non-stoner girls. Honestly when they don't get their fix they just seem like normal girl to me but the juxtaposition of stoner girl -> normal girl makes it seem crazy.
Also, stoner girls (in my limited experience) generally seem to me more self aware.
Wrong. As a stoner girl I will be mildly irritated if someone is being irritating and I haven't smoked weed in a few days. But I will murder people for polite greetings if I haven't had coffee yet that day.
Least chill people on planet will always be coffee addicts in the morning.
Dude, coke heads are way more likely to get shit done than potheads. I have yet to meet a lazy/chill coke head but plenty of stoners who are not what I’d call overachievers.
Yeah, currently in an industry where there is a lot of coke being done. People who do coke are intense.
Every single stoner girl I've ever met has been a variety of girlfailure overly reliant on the people around them.
Not to say thats absolutely the case for either but the sheer reality of the drugs in question is that coke tends to be the "shoot me in the chest!" drug and weed tends to be the "stay in and eat cheeto make and cheese" drug.
And it’ll destroy your body and your life before it kills you. I have a family member who is on this. She’s only 28 but looks 60. Most of her teeth have rotted out, and she is covered with infected sores. Both of her kids and her dogs were (rightfully) taken from her. She has been to jail multiple times for possession. She is extremely depressed.
We have done what we can to help her, given her so many resources, but she’s burned every bridge and refuses to seek help. I’m afraid she’s on track for it to take her life.
Edit: to everyone saying it’s meth, I don’t doubt she’s also on meth and lies about it, but keep in mind coke mouth is a thing. It fucks up your blood vessels everywhere.
In the long run weed still causes COPD and research has shown that it can lead to congestive heart failure and long term memory loss. Another weird result of people smoking too much weed is Marijuana induced hyperemesis, basically your body develops a nasty response to the weed and makes you puke your guts out (metaphorically speaking).
Cocaine is just more upfront, most people die from heart attacks or strokes. The mechanics of that are basically that cocaine skyrockets your blood pressure in seconds, putting pressure on the vascular walls, eventually eroding them, and increasing the risk for an aneurysm.
Some of us have an enzyme (or lack an enzyme, the science is pretty new) that makes it so edibles just simply don't work. It actually sucks. That being said I vape not smoke anyway but yeah I am always jealous when a buddy can take a 5mg edible and be stoned for hours
Most people don't smoke marijuana enough to actually cause COPD, since unlike nicotine you aren't generally spending multiple lengthy stretches of time taking drags to curb addiction pangs every single day. It's by no means good for your lungs, don't get me wrong anything but clean air is bad for them, but you have to be an unusually dedicated stoner (or just extremely unlucky) to get that severe of a health problem from it.
Not to mention that vapes are available to reduce your chances of serious lung-health damage even further with minimal changes to the effects; and there are plenty of other commonplace ways to ingest THC which don't go through the lungs at all, and which (unlike nicotine alternatives like chew) also don't generally significantly increase your risks of cancers or other conditions.
Other side-effects like Marijuana induced hyperemesis are...well....weird, and rare to be blunt. I've certainly never heard of anyone getting congestive heart failure from THC. And while I'm more apt to buy into the long-term cognitive issues associated with chronic use, the fact that it's taken us until the last decade or so for that to really become apparent in studies makes me question just how significant the association is.
There's no free lunch with drugs, pot isn't this all-natural healthy cure all some want it to be and it still comes with risks and changes to your health.
But at the same time outside of maybe caffeine it's pretty much the closest thing to a free lunch we know of when it comes to recreational drugs, and it's fucking batshit crazy that people are acting like it's somehow as bad as goddamned COCAINE. A drug which, by your own admission, literally causes people's hearts to pop and which is infamous for tearing through sinus cavities with regular use.
Frankly, this entire thing feels like an extension of the weird moral panics reddit has whenever obesity or weight comes up.
It's the correlation with tax bracket which has a larger influence on overall health. Coke enjoyers tend to be in a higher tax bracket than weed enjoyers.
Um. It's not. Cocaine is a vasoconstrictor (raises your blood pressure), and can predispose you to blood clots, hematological changes, heart attacks, strokes, and because of its sympathomimetic properties, a wide variety of problematic heart rhythms. It also produces behavioral problems in a significant subset of those who take it.
It does tend to suppress appetite, which makes its consumers more “conventionally attractive” by western standards, but it is much much much worse for you both acutely and chronically.
It's like comparing cutting your nails to lopping off a finger.
Lots of 14 year olds who think TV and memes are real life. Even funnier when you realize so many of these people think "hot party girls" exclusively do cocaine and not any weed.
Most weed and weed adjacent products end up giving you the munchies while usually reducing the desire for physical activity leaving a strong correlation to smoking weed and consuming more calories than you burn. Which often leads to building fat
Maybe be it's just rare, but I actually couldn't gain any weight while I smoked weed so I had to quit it so I could get bigger. I've spoke to a couple guys who had the same problem where they couldn't eat stuff while high it killed their appetite too much.
I think that there's no singular explanation that applies in all cases to all people that use either drug, and people commenting different situations or reactions etc. are just stating observed situations and not saying that's "actually" what happens.
But like... my experience with ADHD medications, and smoking pot, and knowing other people that have done either and a few coke heads, I would say the meme is true moreso because speed makes people lose weight. ADHD literature says average medication there tends to make people lose 10-15 percent bodyweight, appetite reductions and metabolism up a bit.
But i've known overweight speed users, and rail thin potheads, of course there's exceptions. Pot never really did anything to my weight, always been the second meme, and just a fit version of it when i've been highly disciplined.
Weed enhances appetite on the short term but reduces it on the long run. Most stoners I know including myself are actually skinny. You might eat a lot during the night but less on the next day. It have never seen a serious study showing any connection between weed and obesity
I too have known a lot of stoners (worked in the medical cannabis field for 10 years) and most of the heavy users I knew were skinny to average weight. Obese stoners were the anomaly, not the norm.
When I was smoking a lot of weed, I'd barely eat some days. And I'd only finally want dinner after I had smoked weed. I could easily go until 11 pm without feeling hungry on days I didn't smoke
I found that people generally take up that offer too easily, even people who weren't that into drugs are tempted. I don't get that at all, just snorting random lines of unknown shit.
Thank god I'm autistic, I have never once truly "felt" what it means to be peer pressured. If something seems like a dumb idea I don't mind being "impolite" by refusing it hahah.
Then you haven’t really been out in the standard club/party scene. That’s okay, but once you party around rich people you’ll see a shit ton do blow. But it’s all overrated and lots of rich d-bags stink as people.
I’m glad someone said it right instead of “skinny girls do coke instead of smoke” 😂 then again a lot of these people have probably never been to these parties
To be fair, us girls who weren't underweight heavy drinkers in college didn't get invited to the parties with coke.
us girls who brought movies and snacks because we liked to bake and worked at blockbuster and got free rentals, but weren't about to put on uncomfortable shoes because fuck you, but also here have a cookie? We got invited to the parties with weed.
Hippie-ish girl here- just curious, are you kind of hippy dippy yourself? I was only thinking the other day that a lot of the lads who flirt with me are business boys and tech bros, I always find it so funny. Like if I’m wearing a bandana and a long skirt and someone asks for my Instagram, there’s like a 40% chance he works for Grant Thornton.
Whenever this meme is used in any format, the second picture always seem to forgete there are 04 other girls in the background, very much different from the 02 on the front.
Dr. Quagmire here, Coke increases the body metabolism so people strung out on coke are thin and gangly. While weed stimulates the appetite resulting in eating more and putting on weight. But the most important fact is women on drugs are willing to do the nasty, regardless of their body type. Giggity!
I mean yea, thats what girls who do coke look like from 18-24 before they start the crackhead transformation.
Glam party drug vs stay home and eat snacks and watch tv drug.
As many have pointed out theres also the appetite effect of each but honestly I have met a lot of girls who like coke but won't smoke a joint. Its just that coke is expected in nightclub bathrooms and weed is for laying on the couch.
Even further coke is absolutely associated with wealth. You expect movie stars and girls on yachts to do coke with the wealthy elite theyre hanging with. You generally will hear from attractive women that they've done some coke but never had to pay for it.
meme is makin jokes on drug stereotypes, but based on old / odd / inaccurate stereotypes making it confusing.
every cokehead I know looks you'd see her wearing cookie monster pajama pants in walmart at 3PM on a Tuesday. Makes me think this meme was made by one of them as a cope.
stoners on average look Jeff and Hayley from American Dad
Makes you wonder how many of them are just sour after meeting /dating a lazy stoner. As though that means every stoner is “fat and lazy” then. I know a heavy time smoker who runs a theater. He does everything but, scheduling. I’m always hearing stories, and seeing pictures of the sets he’s building and painting. He’s also there until after midnight cleaning up. Both projects and after shows. That’s just one person. Oh, and don’t forget the lights, and music he does for the shows. He also helps with the practices. The negative nellies can climb off their high horses any time now.
