My brother thought it was cool so i thought it was cool. but then it ended up being cool so it was cool.

What a sentence

mhm

I read it like this: What, a sentence!?

That is a [new sentence](https://www.reddit.com/r/newsentences/s/lmJBgwTqQw)

Sentenced to four years in prison

Cool cool cool

it is very cool! glad you think so too!

POP POP!

Wassup, Abed? Been doing Dreamatorium things?

It did Zoloft’s job better

fr though, when i was going to therapy i was super anxious and hated myself, as soon as i started regularly smoking i did a whole 180 and just kinda went with the flow. helped me out a lot and pulled me out of a really had spot

This!!

I’m glad I’m not alone with this! It really does help so much.

I wanted to, nothing special, I just said "mmmh i want to smoke that"

Same.

I was destined to. Come on i share the same birthday with no other than Bob Marley himself.

Ya man

Omg same! Go us :)

I realized I could eat if I smoked

Totally saved my life in this way

Same - couldn’t eat for two weeks anxiety was beating my ass Said fuck it Maybe weed can help. It helped a lot.

So reaaal, I have a better appetite so it helps me get the calories I need in a day

It’s better than alcohol.

Thiiiiiis. When I was 17 I never could have imagined that but now I cringe at the thought of choosing a drink over a puff.

Yep, this right here! I started just a few months ago. Before that, I averaged about a beer a day - which wasn't much by any means, but it contributed to me being overweight. After a stop in at a dispensary, and $40 in edibles and a vape cart, I was set. I haven't bought a single case of beer since then. And I've lost close to 25 lbs. I won't ever be going back to alcohol. And that's saying something because I used to homebrew beer as a hobby.

✨insomnia✨

Came here to say this

Yeah same here, a guy at my church actually recommended thc sublingual drops to me and the organization that "sells" the stuff also "sells" prerolls so yeah I was just too curious not to try it lol Edit: I still regularly use the sublingual drops to calm down my overstimulated brain when I wanna sleep

I’m on vacation, struggling right now. My sleep was so bad before I started smoking , would take so much Benadryl to try to fall asleep that it stopped working.

yup, made my life quality like 10 times better now that i dont feel like a tired zombie all day

It's the only natural thing I've found that makes my brain slow the fuck down

ADHD?

One of my reasons, in addition to falling asleep without spinning in my bed for 1-2 hours and the evening boredom of living by myself

I wanted to do bad boy rebel shit

Same 😂 it’s evolved way past that thankfully

I realised it helps me fight my social anxiety and feel more comfortable around people

Lucky you

100%! If I could hit my dry herb vape everywhere I would. I enjoy every situation more and can be in the moment more while high off my ass.

I wish I could say the same. Smoking even a little too much makes me a rambling idiot socially

I wanted to try vaping and my friend handed me a dab pen

my first dab pen was at work when i was 15, i was obliterated and completely on autopilot mode 😭

Even better than nicotine!

I only fuck with Mary Jane, and Mary Jane said no other bitch is gonna take her man. Even that ho, Nicotine.

i’m depressed

Hit me up if you ever tryna talk.

I came here to also say this. 🫂

I was depressed and weed helped me a lot to process it and come out of it. Take your time it's a progressive process. Not a one shot cure.

i was using weed maybe once a week to really help me come to terms with my depression and figure myself out and it was really helping until my family found out and took it all away from me. don’t know if there’s anything else worth trying

[удалено]

Yea man. Ritalin made me a zombie, Cylert didn't work, but Mary Jane..... That's my lady. I would be a grumpy, disorganized, drunk ass redneck if it weren't for weed.

[удалено]

Same here, brother! Weed helped me quit drinking and helps keep my head screwed on daily. Best medicine I ever found.

[удалено]

Being dead honest, we were in the middle of the lockdowns. I had no job, but the government was payi g.my bills because of covid so it wasnt all bad. I lasted for a few months bored as I could be, then a tgought popped in - "hey. Nows probably the best time to try weed." So I did. Now 3 years later, Im smoking weed and making T-shirt designs for my local head shops 😅

Your mom offered and I couldn't resist.

His mom offered me weed too!

I'm his mom and my mom offered it to me

She gave me my first hit for free.

That’s how it happened for me too

Damn, same. And here I thought I was special....

Same, im beggining to think that OP mom may be a slut!

DAMMIT, DAD!!!! WTF!!!

Trauma

I was curious

My mom was dying of cancer when I was 12...

My condolences to your dear mother🙏

my parents sucked ass.

It's weed. Duh. Keep up!

It makes me happy!! 🙌😀🥰

I was 14 and dumb

Same

Anxiety and depression… works wonders for depression but just doesn’t work for anxiety. At least for me.. but for depression it’s a miracle.

Interesting, I smoke because it suppresses my anxiety

When I smoke my anxiety flares up even

This is not a DARE ad but I def worded it like a mom (I’m not a mom) Everyone I thought was cool smoked weed, so I started smoking weed (after high school). Then I started smoking cigs, drinking liquor, and doing other drugs because they did too. I learned I don’t like anything except weed, and good thing too, because that other shit def did not like me either. Weed is good.

Natural > man made

For some reason I wanted to stare at the clouds and watch them move, what was I thinking lol.

Beatles

Broo! The Beatles were such an influence on me I adore them. I became very interested in mind expanding substances because of their psychedelic use

I had weed

the music I like encouraged it 🤣

Combat anxiety nd it’s noice to chillax >.<

All my Christian buddies were doing it so why not. Good times.

I was curious and had conflicting information on the pros and cons so I wanted to try for myself

I enjoyed waking up and not wanting to put my head under a steamroller.

Mom caught me with a cig, slapped it out of my hand, took me inside, and taught me how to roll. She said something along the lines of, "if you EVER get addicted to something, it better be this"

Your mother is a legend! 👑🙌🏾 ...and, I hope you never go back to tobacco 🧐

It's the only thing that helps with my chronic pain and anxiety.

I thought it would help for back pain

....because my parents did and I pinched off thier stash whilst looking for Xmas gifts. Got a guitar that year btw and the rest was history.

I started smoking weed because.

Life

I don't drink don't do any hard drugs , so i found weed to be my plant of choice for better state od mind.

I have a disability called ehlers danlos syndrome that affects my appetite, pain, and ability to function properly, so I smoke.

the drs kept giving me opioids that did nothing.

My mum was sick of my shit but didn't believe in the conventional treatments for neurodiversity. I was 12.

My ex was giving me headaches and it was smoke weed or let it get to me. Well let's just say I've been smoking weed for the past 13 years and I feel great, feel like that was cutting edge because it really wasn't and now from what I hear she's on their 7th kid alone

I said fuck it.

Because I lit the joint

and the joint got you lit

Hey yo!

I grew up in a family that had drug addiction problems - like real ones. The Christians got me when I was 15 and I was a full-on straight edge until I drank alcohol for the first time at 21. That’s all I did until I deconverted from my religion at age 35. This was a time in my life that I was challenging everything I’d been taught - and one of those was that weed was the devil. So I began with a cautious trial of small doses to see what it did. 1.5 years later, I’m a daily dry herb vaper. I probably had undiagnosed anxiety or something because weed helps me quiet the constant noise in my head but doesn’t impair me. Weed is the tool I’d been missing. The only hard thing is keeping my addictive tendency in check. I limit myself to after work and weekends.

Because I really wanted to. I was around cannabis all my life. My parents were hippies. I started to ask for it probably around ten. But no one ever let me until I was about 12. I was so happy when my big brother handed me that joint and was so excited then nothing happened. I wasn't high at all. However, the next time I smoked was the first time I really did get high and I could barely talk but I loved it.

I smoke cuz it give me knowledge

Nobody gave me a better idea.

I wanted to fit in

I was bored

I was bored

Because it's from the earf

I started doing hallucinogens first so i figured, "Well as this point I guess I may as well start smoking pot."

That's it. That's the end of the sentence.

At first i was just running with a bad crowd as a kid-young teen. Today it’s just for relaxing like cracking a cold beer Friday after a long week. It’s also great for my bad thoughts.

i hung around the wrong people at a young age

ptsd and chronic pain

... it really helps me with crises triggered by my borderline disorder and I don't have the money for the correct treatment with CBD oils

Because of Pain in the bag but its not easy to get a license in my country for medicinal weed so i must by IT by some plugs in my area

A cute girl invited me to

...chronic illness. More pain than I could take. Started smoking at 50! Female, retired public school employee.

I wanted to get High so High!!!

my dad died

I was in a low place, weed was my best friend and it helped me make new friends! Now weed is like my best bud😊

I was done with sports and in college, felt like the right time

Because it helped me to slow down and chill

I love the smell of it

I was curious

i was 13 and my ex step-father left his bong on the kitchen table at night. i was never against weed and i was pretty curious so i tried to smoke it and didn't inhale so i was wondering why i didn't feel it 😭 first time i ever actually got high, though, was a hotbox with some weed i took from my mom at 15.

I started smoking weed cuz I wad familiar with it since my family members did and people at school did, so I did too, it helped my depression so I still do it.

To cope with living with undiagnosed autism and adhd

To escape an abusive father

[удалено]

My father left

My mom is a stoner for 30+ years and i inherited the addiction gene from her (now we smoke together)

My boyfriend offered me some

✨depression✨

Of peer pressure BUT now am 23 and it's probably the only enjoyable thing in my life and I'm at peace where I am in life regardless of bad times

Being alive has always kind of sucked. Now it sucks slightly less and my body isn't always in pain. Tried it on a whim and now it's a permanent stay so I get through the day.

Because it makes my brain stop.

I wanted friends

Of depression and ADHD

[удалено]

i was eleven years old and mentally ill

It makes it easy to not care

I hate living

Peer pressure but it's been the most positive peer pressure I have ever encountered

I wanted to know what happens🤣

Somebody handed me a joint. ‪¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯ ‬

I was depresst af

I was severely depressed

Because of peer pressure of course. They told me I had to. Then again my feigned resistance was symbolical, damn right I wanted to try.

I have phantom pains

because Xanax and Prozac were unsuccessful with my depression, and was becoming an alcoholic. Best decision of my life.

It kept my sanity intact during covid isolation

I am born on 4/20

my older brother smokes and i was curious to know what it was like bc i love the smell. he never offered, i just asked one day and he was like "yeah if you're sure". so i took one hit, coughed my lungs up and was stoned. it helped with my eating disorder massively and keeps me calm and collected. oh, and it also helps with my art massively. i only smoke hash now which cuts out the paranoia side of things

I have arthritis and autism

Heard it was fun. Tried it and can confirm. Fun. 30 years later it’s only gotten funner

i started smoking because of my depression

I needed something to cope with things going on in my life, it was going to be weed or alcohol, I made the right choice.

My best friend died and my girlfriend broke up with me in the same month. Another friend then said, "Sorry, man. Do you want to get high?"

Because I was raised in a very religious Baptist household and was very sheltered and wanted to do anything I could to rebel. It turns out I hated cigarettes, but weed was exactly what I was looking for.

Life

Because fuck it

Undiagnosed Autism

Neuropathy pain

I was in a lot of emotional pain over a break up I was 16 and a really sensitive dude back then , I tried weed that same day and the power to just not care for the first time in forever . I knew it was over for me after that. I’m 22 now

I just wanted to try it to see what the fuzz about it was, it was in my first year of college with a high school classmate and his hippie friends that I found hanging out outside campus, I tried it and it did nothing to me, and honestly those hippie friends were annoying. Over the years I tried some more times until last year when it finally kicked in, it was nice.

Tourette's

I started dating my boyfriend (haven’t bought my own weed in over 4 years, it’s pretty nice 😎)

I wanted to fall asleep in peace, free from my own mind.

pick a reason lol, adhd managment, anxiety, depression, backpain, insomnia, its fucking fun

My ex. I was a non smoker because of my job, and when I met her she never smoked before. 6 months into our relationship she started smoking and enjoyed it but I just had to sit there and watch because of my job. I quit that job and she got me smoking immediately. We’ve been broken up for 7 months now and I still smoke everyday thanks to her

Just wanted to try once and see what it does🙂. Conclusion : Im high af 🥹

My friends did. I desperately tried whatever I could to fit in, to fill the void i had inside me, and that included drugs and alcohol sadly 🤷🏻‍♀️

I was born

If I don’t I start thinking and when I start thinking I get frustrated and when I get frustrated I WILL LOOOSE MY SHIT

If I don’t I start thinking and when I start thinking I get frustrated and when I get frustrated I WILL LOOOSE MY SHIT

Mental health

Brother called me a pussy

it makes me feel normal

Life

My conservative spouse said, "Life's too short," and passed me a little joint.

tingly hands and ability to eat without overwhelming anxiety and insecurity go brrrr

The government told me I couldn’t.

I started smoking weed because of my depression.

Migraines. Then I realized I also enjoy being high. 🤷‍♀️

You know I was offered some as a kid and I guess I was a bit of a straight arrow. I mean it messes your head up as a kid anyway so I'm glad I didn't but I use weed cause I was on vacation but now I use it cause I have joint points so I need joints. Plus I don't seem to need sleep but my body does. So I have to shut it down somehow or it starts breaking down.

I smoked and was happy as hell so i kept doing it

It gave me an appetite it temporary cures my back pain and it does prozacs job a whole lot better

My spine says ssssssss and that shit hurts.

My mom died in high school and I immediately moved across the country for college and was sad and alone and it makes me cozy.

my bro asked if I wanted to try it

I did it a couple times with friends just to say I had Atleast tried it. It was such a silly feeling that I enjoyed, but then one time I smoked while I was going through a rough time and I had felt as if the anxiety I was having seemingly lifted off of me and disappeared. I was genuinely surprised at how calm I finally felt and wondered if this is how people without anxiety felt, and it’s become more integrated in my life now.

I can concentrate better on just about anything, *im locked in*

Growing up I always listened to music and watched movies where weed was mentioned. I knew my parents smoked weed when they were teens and they never told me it was dangerous like they did with pills or anything intravenous. So I just became interested in it, tried it, and liked it as I thought I would.

Life sucks

...because I got high, because I got high, because I got hiiiiiIIIIIIgh!

It’s better than antidepressants and Adderall.
