i thought this would be a pretty obvious question
why do/would people take cannabis?
for me it helps me relax at the end of the week..i dont smoke it during-just at the weekend.
plus i share a joint with my friend, so it has a very social feel
...your opinions plz???

It helps me to relax in a social situation, a bit like alcohol.

Well.. My husband heart has MS (Multiple Sclerosis) So he is in a lot of pain all the time and it helps with the pain, and helps him sleep.

I however smoke cannabis because I like the way it makes me feel. Also after a hard days work and then coming home to take care of a 9 month old and clean the house and helping the hubby it feels nice to smoke out and chill on the couch. heart xp

Personally, I have to say that I smoke out very infrequently. When I do, it's generally in a social context -- taking a hit as the bong is passed is polite, and besides, it's usually very enjoyable anyway.

On my own, I might smoke for any number of reasons. Sometimes I might have a bowl to help mellow out, or even just to see where my train of thought goes. Or even just because "No, mom, I'm too stoned" is a valid excuse in my family. xd

rofl Actually, a couple of my favorite exchanges ended with, "Not right now, mom... I've got some more I need to get done. But I'll smoke out with you in a couple hours?" and "No, dad, I'm not on deck... call [little sister] though, I think she's slinging right now."

I swear, you seriously just can't make up s**t like this! xd sweatdrop

Absolutely. I recommend test-driving them for a day or two, though... there's ah... well, trying 'em out would be wise. 3nodding Of course, if you're up for plenty of tennis everyday, my mom'll love you like whoa. xd

Hey, if that's a good enough reason to prefer certain clothing or jewelry, I see nothing wrong with it. mrgreen

Socializing, relaxing, and motivation to clean.

I'd like to stress that last point. Being under the influence makes mundane work so much more enjoyable.

Amen. Though my "mundane activity motivation" back in the day used to be of the not-quite-herbal sort... pretty damn effective, that... ninja

I've noticed I prefer to be indoors, though. I got suckered into helping pull weeds (the irony!) a few days ago while I was still fairly stone-y. It was a drag, to say the least. gonk

Even if your question has been answered... I'm still going to answer it! scream

Some people take it to relax, day dream, or just for the feeling of it. There might be more, so I don't know.

I don't smoke. ^_^;;

(please ignore my bad grammar, I am working on it. X_x)

Everyone has their own reasons, really... Mind if I ask why it is you don't, though? Not that I'm saying you should! rofl Just to turn the question around. ^_~

(Your grammar is perfectly acceptable, actually... is English not your first language, then?)
(Looks like I'm having a nosy day, for which I apologize!)

It's alright. :3 I don't mind.

I don't smoke because I heard that people get older faster. X_X
But now, I hear that if you smoke like once a week or two, it's good for you, because it has iron. I think. razz

(Spanish was my first language, then english. But since I having trouble trying to learn them both. ((yeah, I'm forgetting my spanish)) Now this days I'm talking Spanglish. Like "open the puerta!" or "look ariba!".)

I know personally I use it because I enjoy the social effect from it. Sure it's one thing to go drinking with friends, but it's another to being a puff puff circle.

Funny because I smoke on a social level too..

I smoke to be social..... sweatdrop

I am very.. how do you say... anti-social when I am anywhere but home. I don't like dealing with the dumb people that live in vegas so I also use cannabis to escape the, as I call them, retards!

**because they STOP to turn RIGHT! stressed stressed and they let their kids run around like a**-faces stressed **
