Well... after taking psychology I learned that you can't change your personality since it's a part of your brain. However you can change your behaviours, which is generally what changes depending on the people around you. So, no it won't change your personality outside of being high, it doesn't even change it while you're high, it just changes your behaviour, and actions.
On a less factual note, I personally don't think smoking marijuana will change you. It's actually quite good for your health if you're not overdoing it, even so though, if you are overdoing it it's not going to affect your personality.

It doesn’t if taken before the brain is done developing, usually around 25. Because the personality is still forming. It’l evolve with the drugs influence and change what would have been. After 25 the effect is different.
People who use it A LOT come across to me as kind of "distant". Probably because it takes your body a long time to clear it, and they always have it in their system. Some also come across as kind of grumpy.
It can change people from
"... and after I get my masters I'm going for a PhD"
to
"wow man, I'm just gonna sit here and smoke some weed and play video games"

Not really but it depends on how much they smoke and their age.
If you smoke often or everyday, it could alter your thought process and drive but everyone is different. Some people I know smoked for years and everyday and yet operates more effectively than people who are sober.
They’re still doing research to get more of an accurate assessment but
Everyone is different but for the most part, no.Yeah. It makes them dumber than they already were to start smoking
Anything with the potential to be addictive can make people change their personality, because of the withdrawal symptoms. Coffee can make people crankier too when they suddenly can't drink it anymore.
From what I've read, something like 10% of people have the potential to get somewhat addicted to weed.
Once they're addicted and try to quit it can make them irritable.
But if it's just a casual user that hasn't smoked for a while, they'll be fairly normalMakes their inner-me come out that they have been suppressing. But in certain amounts ofc. Like if u become more talkative and less shy
I find it typically makes me happier in general, I feel happier for a few days after I smoke it, but my personality is the same. Even while high I find it rarely changes someones personality, just their mood.
I smoke marijuana
Yes it does I used to be a depressed young nerd who played video games and had no friends then I started to smoke and now my friends describing me as the coolest person they ever meet... i started to meet new people make more friends got rid of the depression started spending more time outside talking to people weed kinda saved meIt can definitely make a person more sensitive, more empathetic, but it's not like that's not voluntary and self-directed. It's a helper, not a forcer.
So yeah, it can change your personality, but so can a really good book.Studies show that the effects vary in a similar way to how alcohol effects can very. Some people can handle it and some people can't. Some people it may never have a change and others it's doesn't take long for large changes.
It can only change small things so no not the personailty unless if it is taken by someone with a devolping brain then it can do a bit more. So overall nope don't change personailty.
Yes, "marijuana" turns normal people into dangerous, maniacal, sex-crazed, lunatics... It is, The Assassin Of Youth.
Yes. Lower IQ, lazy, uninterested in life in general, getting irritated easily. I’ve been around people who smoke marijuana. I can attest to the fact.
I don't know about personality, but the way they think and process things it can definitely change that.
Very much so, I don't associate with drug users much anymore, that is party and rec drugs, and habitual vices that are illegal, if you smoke weed you would have to be an exceptional person to get into my circle of friends.
I find them more arrogant. And sometimes more distant in a way.. like they are on the top of the world 🙄
Fucking right it can, There is a reason why potheads are permanently dopey and fucking stupid.
Yes. My ex was pretty normal before he started smoking weed. Afterwards, he became paranoid, jealous, and depressed.
Not that I have seen and I have been smoking 40 years. People might appear a little grumpy if they haven't had their weed but apart from that I haven't seen any difference.
It lowers drive, inhibitions and practical thinking. Though it boosts abstract thought, creativity and relaxes the signals in you brain.
The more you smoke, the less you care about the world.
