When I started smoking cannabis in my early 20's it was a very positive and uplifting experience. It helped ease my anxiety and empathize with people. It inspired a lot of creative projects. Something changed along the way. These days (over a decade later) I'll take a hit on occasion, but the exact opposite is true. Shit makes me anxious and I draw into my thoughts unless I'm drinking. All of my friends slowly started smoking exorbitant amounts of weed and they've become complacent and boring despite being unique, passionate, talented people once upon a time. I don't think weed is solely to blame for this, but it's definitely part of the equation.
