alcohol calms me and down and eliminates all those nervous feelings/sensory issues of being surrounded in a crowd. I am more relaxed, and I feel like I can flow and be confident. Lately though alcohol has been making me feel awful. Kinda paranoid and I have trouble sleeping, and I get awful hangovers from not even drinking much,

Pot just makes me feel manic, paranoid, suicidal, and extremely low, awful anxiety attacks. When I first started I kind of felt like I was in a bliss.

I dont smoke anymore, and I try not to drink unless the timing is right. The timing I dont think will ever be right for smoking pot. When I feel like I am comfortable being myself in my own skin, that is the only time.

Drinking, I need to be in a relatively decent mood, not uber-depressed. drinking cant do a 360 for me if i feel like sh*t.

Pot and me don't get along either. I've tried small amounts on a few occasions and find my feelings fluctuate too much. I feel calm, then out of nowhere paranoid, then calm again. It also makes my mind feel blank. It's a weird feeling that I didn't really find too pleasant.

yeah pot for some people is a not a good substance. F**k all those people that think it is completely harmless. It isnt.

Iv smoked on and off for about 4 years. Not too heavily, but still once every while, sometimes more than others.

I wish I had never touched it.

I feel like it has helped me grow in a way, and at the same time brought me down and made me dumber.

When I first did it I felt like I was in a bliss. Slowly though it started having an awful affect on me. I think the problem was I never smoked it enough to develop a tolerance for it, so every time i smoked it, I got much more than I wanted to.
