Weed Makes You Lazy

cj117 · 03-13-2009, 08:05 AM

Man, I remember watching movies with those ATI commercials at the beginning... then seeing them on TV when I shut off my VCR...

Growin' up during the Anti-Truth Infomercials made me believe that if you smoked weed, you got lazy. That was what I told people when they asked me if I ever smoked marijuana when I was in High School.

Quote:

Yeah, no, I don't smoke weed, I know it doesn't kill you, it just makes you lazy and dumb.

It's what I knew. It's what I believed. Ahhh... high school.. the memories...

Best part: Now I'm in college.
My old high school friends, we're still buddies. Funny thing though, I'm the only one who smokes teh ganj. Funny thing though, I'm the only one with a healthy BMI. Funny thing though, I'm the only one who calls the others telling them we need to hang out and go surfing/to the movies/to the snow/park/barnes&noble... fucking anything. I swim. I weight-train. I run. Rollerblade. I never lifted a finger back in High School. Hell, I did practically nothing until I tried weed!

Quote:

"I'm too tired..."

Funny thing though, I've got a 3.4 Cumu. GPA at my school. I've got a six pack. I exercise daily. I have sex. I travel. I protest. I live. I smoke marijuana.

My high school friends... they do jack. Oh, yeah they also do shit. Jack and shit. That's their hobby. Each of them has an unhealthy BMI. Each of them is overweight. Each of them is so busy off at "school", or whatever it is they actually do (b/c I'm sure they aren't at school ALL FUCKIN DAY, I guess since I'm a pothead I just don't deserve a returned call..) I swear... oh did I mention they're all failing their classes? One's on academic probation, the other has failed chem twice.. (another is off in Oregon doing amazing things with his life but he's a different story)

My room mate is addicted to video games. He works a minimum wage job where his boss(es, an old racist korean ahjeemah and her husband) abuse the shit out of him. I know, I used to work there myself..
Then he comes home and plays games the rest of the day, if he's not sleeping. Never gets an oz. of exercise, eats crap most of the time, and complains he is too tired to do anything (wow, I wonder why!). I smoke weed every night. He's never even tried the stuff. Somehow he has a girlfriend... Yeah, he's my age, and a college drop out.

Oh. These are my friends.

My roommate's [overweight] girlfriend Tify.
(this is an old pic, she's gained like 20 lbs since this shoot).
(oh yeah did I mention I'm a photographer?)

Mari, Ash, Gwen, Toni, and Tify. I'm surprised my roomie doesn't have his DS while making out with his girlfriend!!

Oh wait, there it is...
Left to right: My roommate, Ash, (another old pic, 20lbs lighter here too) My Genius buddy Hagen in Oregon (he's excelling at an amazing rate, he's going to be a world leader for SURE. Oh yeah, he's smoked weed with me.)

Oh yeah, so I managed to convince my room mate to come on vacation with me last year... I talked him into going out on the lake in a rowboat:

Got him to come hiking with me (had to stop a zillion times..)
Oh, yeah... I set up this campsite.. Tony is inside the tent there playing his DS..

Sadly, I doubt I'll ever get to take another picture like this again...
this was June 16th, 2007. It took incredible lengths to get everyone to go on this damn trip. I invited everyone to return to six flags on my birthday, and I even offered to PAY FOR THEM. How many showed up? 0.00

Oh yeah, this is me:

(before my 6-pack)

Me carrying BOTH my buddies Matt and Tony:

Me and my old 240... <333

I got to meet Eddie Izzard...

So to recap, I guess I have to thank those Anti-Marijuana commercials, they really showed me what I was getting into... the reprehensible life of a pothead, so BLEAK AND EMPTY... I'm really glad my friends never got into this shit, I don't think they could handle it!

Fuck.

240's ftw!

But yeah... I do agree with you.

Lazy people have nothing better to do than sit around smoking dope all day. I've known people like that. That's where the stereotype comes from. Those who promote it have confused the cause with the effect.

Almost all of my friends are cannabis users. We're all professionals. Several of us have advanced degrees. Marijuana is something we do for fun. It's not the focus of a wasted existence.

i find it hilarious that your roomate has his ds in every picture. even in the canoe.

51cK_k1lL_dUd3 · 03-13-2009, 08:55 PM

Yes, the canoe-DS picture is HILARIOUS. I love games as much as the next nerd, but I would not take my DS out on a canoe. Mainly because canoes go into big things of water called lakes. And electronics do not like big things of water.

What is your Oregon friend doing with his life that makes his amazing?

mmmcute · 03-13-2009, 10:54 PM

that's kinda messed up you called out all your friends like that... pictures, faces, and names. you can probably get sued for this if you didn't get permission from them to post those pictures. you probably won't but i'd be pissed as shit if someone did that to me and piss me off some more... i could legally sue.

watch outt...

**allenlovesgreen** · 03-13-2009, 11:18 PM

I get your point but to me it sounds more like you made all your friends look like "losers" and "bums."

I'm sure they would love to know the truth, the sad truth. The fact that you are way more successful than them, the fact that they are overweight and that they don't want to do shit for their life's. I don't know, I guess I am not the type of person who compares myself to my friends, we are all different individuals, raised differently who think differently.

Back stabbers is the last thing a "real friend" wants...

Anywho, good job staying active and doing your thing!

**Dark** · 03-13-2009, 11:24 PM

From the way you talk about your "friends" I would never want to call you back either.

You go on a rant about potheads being called lazy than you go on making fun of your friends and calling them losers throughout the whole post. What point exactly are you trying to prove? That you have more of a right to say those things? You don't. That they're right for never wanting to hang out with you? You convinced me.

Real friends don't do these things. Maybe you should be looking at yourself and the way you think about your own "friends" if you're wondering why no one ever calls you back.

blackanthony · 03-14-2009, 12:20 AM

ya man i dont dis my friends out at all, yeah there lazy and stupid and losers, but you know what I love them to death, and im not going to go all out and make fun of them. Hell Im a lazy,smart,loser stoner thats me.

P.S. Your friend with the DS is hilarious, esppecially on the canoe, you should have him on all your pics with his DS, thats the only thing I kind of liked about this post.

It appears that marijuana makes some people egotistical and judgmental.
