The NT side of me tells me smoking is bad, period. It stinks, harms your health, harms people around you, selfish, promotes dependency, and much more. Why would I even subject myself to that torment whether it is weed or cigarettes? Any type addiction is detrimental to that person.
That yes.
Just a coincidence. If you keep hanging out with people with a similar interest regardless of their type, you're going to find the whole spectrum of the MBTI capable of being a pothead most of whom do it for different reasons.

...pot isn't physically addictive. :mellow: And it's near impossible to OD.
It's not dumb if done in moderation. I don't smoke though. Edibles only.
Keeps my lungs in tact. And simultaneously takes care of the munchies.
Ew, I think I've agreed with almost all of your posts until this one.
Really? You sound like my mom. Research before you talk shit. The close-mindedness expressed here disgusts me.

I used to be a maaaajooor stoner. But not anymore. Haven't done it in two and a haf years now. The decision was based around me wanting to be able to think clearly, and if I told myself to do it in moderation then I'd rationalize doing it more and more and more. I like having a clear head, so I just stopped.
And it's not physically addictive, but it is psychologically addictive.
I'm not against pot, I just decided not to use it anymore.

So when do you guys grow out of it?
On a more serious note only one of the ENTPs I've known has smoked pot in large quantities. He smokes it as a sort of substitute for nicotine cigarettes. This is a wise choice, however, because unlike with regular cigarettes medical studies done up to date show that there is no connection between pot and various cancers.

I have two INTP friends who smoke pot...
Not a word of this is true.
I was thinking about Type and Drug use a while back. I noticed that I an INTP acquaintance of mind basically had the same sort of habbit with that kind of thing. We drank but not much and it was rare that we ever smoked pot. I typically go for months without pot in spite the fact that I have a few friends that do it regularly. I've had to turn it down quite a bit.
What about yourself? I'm just curious because even though our preferences differ we share the same functions.
I smoked weed everyday in high school. I did everything stoned: school, dinner with mom, traffic court...etc. Then I went into the Marines, in which I only got high once (during the Gulf War). After I got out of the Marines, I tried it a few times, but it wasn't the same. It was like one of those "you can never go home" moments. It just wasn't the same. All I could do was sit on the couch, eat Cheetoes and laugh at the TV.So when do you guys grow out of it?
It definitely isn't for everyone, but I think everyone should try it at least once.

mmm weed...
Yeah I actually had to step back and force myself to stop smoking for at least a month cause it was getting out of hand and I was going down the stoner path. Hopefully I'll be able to go back in moderation. Feels like psychological addiction's going to be a pretty much constant battle for me though.

Yeaaaaah...psychological addiction, its pretty easy to snap out of it. After I graduated college, I had a month before I started my new job, and I basically smoked weed all day every day during that span. At the end, I abruptly stopped, no real problems.
It's called getting bored.
Not a very good way to fix a lot of addicting things, but weed really isn't chemically addicting.

Totally right. You have no idea what you are talking about. Pot doesn't kill brain cells, harm your lungs long-term, impair judgement, or anything like that. It;s also not addictive, which is why it's popular among drug-users who seek a constant high. In fact, drugs in general are completely healthy - with no potential to get us hooked, stupid, or killed.
Cannabis is a great gift from nature and should be enjoyed because it is wholly pure and natural - my thoughts are the same on arsenic.
