Learn to be happy without it, user?

Losing creativity? What happened is losing motivation, not creativity. And creativity in what sense?

>what are withdrawls

hi there
I seriously have the ame problem,I love weed,but I know it makes me lazier,unmotivated and apathetic
but lately is only weed that makes me going on
As for you,how about keep on smiking but less often? you don't need to stop at all,not for now

That's what I'm thinking, smoking doesn't increase your creativity

i seriously don't know how, i don't even enjoy vidya without it. i just come home in the afternoon and don't know what to do.
Also increased my alcohol consumption quite a bit but it's not the same.
if anyone is reading this who is just starting or hasn't started smoking weed, STOP/ DON'T DO IT. it fucks your dopamine levels beyond repair

You're fucked

Learn to have a happier attitude in general without something external.

I feel you user
I can feel getting lazier,unmotivated and apathetic since I started smoking year ago but at his point its only alcochol and weed that keeps me going and brings a bit of happines in to my life

I smoke weed medically, not recreationally and it helped me crawl out of my depression.

I think the mistake people make is that they'd smoke it to get high instead if smoking it to alleviate your anxiety and whatnot.

What I did was I got a job, started going to college, got myself a weed rec, and have been fine since then.

If you're not happy with your life or with yourself, then you'll never be happy no matter what drug you do, have it be weed or heroin.

it actually does.
i wrote and produce music in my spare time, and while my motivation is still there i can't come up with anything decent. sat down a few times but everything i came up with was utter shit.
tried that a few years back but i just ended up slowly increasing consumption again

>If you're not happy with your life or with yourself, then you'll never be happy no matter what drug you do

This x10000000000000

From my experience, it makes me more relaxed and it helps me think more clearly, maybe this gives the illusion if increased creativity?

>it fucks your dopamine levels beyond repair
only if you smokes as much and as often as Snoop Dogg

dubs checked. I took a few hits last week and it was like I was redpilled. I started talking to myself about how I'm fucking up and how I should address what I'm doing wrong and not doing with my life. I even went on an hour long rant to myself while pacing back and forth in my garage about my own view of politics. Instead of laying in bed, jerking off, and falling asleep; I shoveled my driveway, cleaned up my room and went to sleep. I'm against habit smoking/drinking/drug use myself. It's about finding a middle ground user. I'm personally stuck trying to decide if I should smoke weed more often to fix my problems and then stop, or just become a pot head like every fucking loser I know. It's literally the key to my peace of mind, but career wise I can't do that to myself.

i hate normies and i hate the political climate. movies and vidya went to shit over the last decade.
don't know what could bring me joy
i didn't really smoke to get high, but to enjoy my evenings.
i don't wanna wake - work - sleep - repeat until im dead without seeing sense in anything

>scared the shit out of boner

he said himself he smokes to not be depressed.

If you increase your weed consumption, you'll start getting heavier withdrawals and your tolerance will get higher. It's better if you keep a middle groud, you can still smoke but not have it define who you are

The entire scene was about 30 seconds

Forgot to add I only smoke like twice a year. I know it takes a lot to get to this user's level and it's not technically addicting, but I don't want to take any chances.

Weed is like one of the only things that actually makes me happy. I know it's bad because when I don't have it I start to get irritable but I hate alcohol. I'm trying to kick percocets and weed is one of the only things that helps me through that. I get that it fucks your dopamine receptors but so does every other substance. Is it really that bad to just be a stoner for most of life?

You probably feel like shot because your life is a fucking joke, and weed helped you hide that fact from yourself. Select your next objective and aim to grow personally. Get insanely good at something that makes you useful to yourself and others. Become socially or politically active. There’s lots of stuff out there worth caring about, so stop crying about how bored you are and go find it. Eat lightning and shit thunder just because you can.
Life doesn’t shower you with meaning. You create meaning by hammering out a place in the world for yourself. So get off your ass and find your meaning.

I was a somewhat regular smoker five years ago. The highest amount I went through was about an eighth every two weeks. Only reason I dropped it was because of trying to find a job that didn't pay shit money and because I didn't want the expense. But fuck was I more focused than I am now, and I was having amazing sex. It's depressing desu.

Dude you went off for a month i was smoking for 5 years "420blazeit" amounts daily and it took like 3 months to get a totally clear head. Your dopamine levels arent fucked you are boring and need drugs to make things you clearly dont enjoy, enjoyable. Find new hobbies you can do without weed and use weed as an end of the day/sleepy time thing.

>don't know what could bring me joy
You, you fucking dumbass. Learn to like things and enjoy the small shit. Jesus fucking Christ. Analyze everything. If you come to the conclusion that you don't like something, ask yourself why it is that you don't like it. If you can answer that and you're fine with the answer, how you arrived at it, and what it means in practice for you, then move the fuck on to something else. Keep trying new things. If you think you've tried everything, realize that that's mathematically improbable.

> to make things you clearly dont enjoy, enjoyable
you mean... life?

I feel it. I get agitated af if I can't smoke a blunt every other day. It helps me get through my days and shit too, just do it user. Fake piss if you have a drug test or a detox kit. (2 If you're heavy)

>I more focused than I am now,
that's odd
regular weed consumption usually makes the person very apathetic

Of you were at all hesitant, it's probably confirmation bias. I freak myself out over that kind of thing now and again, but I know it's truthfully insubstantial. I'm glad I'm not the only one who worries about that shit though

It be ya own niggas

It's because you outgrew video games.
Weed dulls your motivation to make the experience acceptable, but even your body knows you need to get off your ass

No it fucking doesn’t, you’re just too depressed that you need drugs to not be bored. I smoke regularly but I can go on month long tolerance breaks and I’ll be completely fine.

Depends on who you are.

I'm an on/off weed smoker and I typically enjoy life. I'll smoke pretty regularly (once or twice a day after work) for 3-4 months, then not smoke at all for 3-4 months.

There are definitely times when I use weed to "enhance" my enjoyment of things, but you have a baseline enjoyment of those things first, so you can enjoy them without the weed.

do you honestly believe you are some kind of übermensch who goes unaffected by dopamine?
it's scientifically proven
i went for a month without smoking before, but now that i decided not to smoke again everything seems dull and pointless

>weed withdrawls are real

> Be OP
> Experienced in smooking weed
> Haven't observed thought process behind "creative thinking" under influence, in order to apply it later while sober
You're fucking useless.

Not OP, but what you're suggesting technically can't work.
In OP's case, his body has acclimatised to the dopamine release triggered by the weed and so he can really only experience 'joy' through the administering of a similar or more potent drug.
What you're saying would work in a person who is sad for sad's sake, but what OP needs is a means to restore dopamine levels

Not gonna be easy, but research has shown that Tyrosine, an amino acid found in proteins, is a component in the production of dopamine, and so a protein heavy diet can restore dopamine levels in drug addicts.
So eat far more protein and the dopamine should come back

while weed doesn't lead to physical dependancy, it very well leads to a psychological dependancy and psychological withdrawals are real
will look into that, thanks
>you can learn creativity

IDK how much you care about scientific research, but here's a pretty easy to digest paper for your problem
yourbrainonporn.com/book/export/html/702

It doesn't affect your dopamine, it affects your endocannabiniod system. Get a regular sleep schedule, make your bed, and start your week.

Fuck, found a list of foods with the highest percentage and it's basically my normal diet.
eggs & cheese, lean cuts of meat, chicken, fish & spinach/green leafy vegetables are - besides noodles and potatoes - everything i already eat.

i know all of that, am a psych stud.
thanks tho

damn, well I'd look into other factors which would benefit overall mood like exercise and sleep, but I don't know enough about this to help. /sci/ kinda doesn't care about psychological matters but maybe they can help
they will more than Sup Forums that's for sure

i am quite amazed by the lack of "kys" and other shenanigans, haven't been here for years (as Sup Forums degenerated into a porn board after Sup Forums).
thanks for your help anons, gonna go to bed now (eurofag here)
