r/trees is probably the most depressing subreddit out there. A bunch of people just smoking weed and not doing shit all day thinking it’s the coolest thing ever.
It’s kind of a self-selected sample though, because the stoners who are actually out doing something aren’t sitting at home on Reddit.
The “stoned slacker” stereotype is actually pretty rare. I’ve been smoking daily since I was 19 (for the most part) but still managed to graduate college with a 3.75GPA and did pretty good for myself career wise.
My biggest hurdles were passing the drug tests, lol.
I'm a late bloomer, didn't start smoking weed until I was in my 50s. I mean, I smoked it before, as a teenager but it made me "paranoid," so I rarely ever smoked. But chronic joint pain, DDD & arthritis, had me looking for relief that wasn't going to get me all strung out on narcotics or blow up my liver lie taking NSAIDs every day. After overcoming that "paranoia" (it's just the THC taking one's perception out of one's comfort zone) I found it a useful tool for chronic pain management and it's fun and I never would have been red-pilled without it. Note: I started smoking weed as a Bernie supporter and am now a daily smoker MAGA maniac.
Oh wow, that's funny. I mean, I hope it wasn't too trippy. I don't know how I managed to overcome the "paranoia," I just told myself I was thinking thoughts & noticing things at a level I wasn't used to. It was cool at first, now it mostly makes me chatty or sleepy.
Idk if the stoner stereotypes are really rare... I used to be a stoner. I wasn't lazy. I was an active smoker who couldn't sit still while high.
I had to go for walks. Couldn't sleep until sober. It would keep me up.
With that said, my entire group of friends from highschool are still hardcore stoners. Every morning, all day, all night, all year for a decade.
They are mostly all losers. Started college, never finished, started again, never finished, doing it a third time...
Worked tons of dead end jobs, 26 still with dead end jobs, because they sent years not working at all just selling drugs.
To be fair, they got into hard drugs at different points in time, and I never touched much. I tried some things in life, but not like them, and never made a habit of any of that stuff.
But in my experience, a lot of stoners I know are losers. I know a lot of stoners who aren't losers either though!
And I don't blame the marijuana... I guess I'll just say, moderation is key. Those who cannot smoke marijuana in moderation, and get high before going to an important test or meeting as an adult... They are mostly losers.
I did that as a teenager. That's what teens do lol. But as an adult, you need to be smarter about being high at appropriate times, not when you need focus.
I wouldn't say it's rare, but a small portion of people who smoke weed. I'm 33 and it seems like most people will at least occasionally smoke a little weed. I only don't because I get intense anxiety and paranoia on it.
Southpark (before they lost their balls) covered weed perfectly.
Kids shouldn't get the D.A.R.E. propaganda where they pretend it's the worst drug of all, but it's still a shitty vice that makes you okay with being bored.
Seriously. I was a smoker and always hated the culture around it. When I smoke, I want to do things. I clean up the house, fix stuff, draw up plans for my woodshop, practice instruments, compose music. Some people just want to melt on a couch and waste time.

The last time I tried smoking weed someone gave me sour candy after and I tasted the fucking sour outside my skin. never again for me, lol.

Mud 90s. Smoked weed daily as a kid. Guess what we talked about when we were high? Yup..we talked about smoking weed. I quit smoking everyday.
Their Trees Network us nothing but a socialist stream site that plays cringe Tim and Eric crap while bitching about trump 80 percent of the time.

That's it. Marijuana is very safe for being such a mind altering substance, but I hate stoners who pretend it has no bad effects in the body and mind.
I was a hardcore stoner. I understand that it's not all good, and that includes any and all drugs.
I hate stoners who say marijuana isn't a drug. Thc is a drug. All because you can't die from it doesn't make it a drug.
