Does marijuana change people’s personality? (Page 2)

[wankiam]

it can make aggressive people less aggressive and more empathic

[call_me_scar]

When their high sure people can be way more relaxed but after the high is over they should be their old selves

[Fukaroo]

Yes, most of the time they turn into boring bums who don't leave the house.

[lacaras]

If they're a frequent user then yes. It's no coincidence every person I've met who smokes pot multiple times a week is an idiot

[Manguything]

In young people yes if your over the age of 25 or so then it’s normally safe but if your younger than that it can do damage to developing brains

[valualty]

Drugs effect how your brain works by nature so id personality is mostly controlled by mind then yes it does

[mactallica]

Yeah, it changes some parts but like your not like your a different person, its like you but every thing is put though a ganja filter and has a stoney tone to it.

[JesseTheMan]

No it doesn't. Unless you wanna argue that being more relaxed/happy/whatever for a bit when you're high is the same as "changing your personality."

[Jerre]

as a rule it should not change your personality. I often use marijuana prior to sex as it can male the orgasms so much more intense.

[Anonymous]

Most def! Depending on the strain. Up or down. Cleaning/active or guffy/chill/ sleepy. Then munchies up.

[TomatoeUnicorn]

I guess. Probably. I think it decreases their drive for life, sex etc. Don't get into it.

[wiserbud]

It can probably slow your brain down a bit if you overindulge (talking from experience). Can probably make you more open and creative

[PondyPand]

Yes. Can cause paranoia so straight away a yes.

[BoneslikeGlass]

But that's not really changing personality. Changing is a permanent thing, or in some circumstances a thing that takes a good while to go back to... for example, cutting your hair. When you smoke marijuana, your putting your brain under the influence which results in your behaviour being different as well as your actions, but not your personality. That's a part of your brain that's from your DNA, your jeans, nature vs nurture... it's a mixture of both parent's DNA. Actions and behaviour constantly change depending on your surroundings, but your personality is deeper than that and is influenced for short period of time rather than actually changing. Paranoia for example... is an influence on your brain. You aren't always paranoid after smoking marijuana, just until the effects wear off.

[PondyPand]

But it causes long term paranoia which does change the personality as they change traits and actions based on this. Paranoia is one example but there are many more. Drugs are never truly good for you, not long term and continuous use.

[jacquesvol]

@BoneslikeGlass just until the effects wear off... but repeat it often and it doesn't wear off.

[BrittBratt2416]

that's a side effect, not a personality change

[jacquesvol]

@BrittBratt2416 becoming a pothead

[Anonymous]

Yeah I think it changes their mood not personality, I know some pot heads that are grouchy when not high

[jacquesvol]

Which proves they need it to seem normal.

[Opinion Owner]

@jacquesvol Yeah it’s sad they need it to be mellow

[jacquesvol]

Interrupt their drug supply and there's trouble

[Anonymous]

Regular use leads to addiction, the personality of an addict thus. Many risk mental health problems.

[Malita55]

If they smoke it a lot, yes it can

[sanguinnia]

I get really Really slow and giggly 😂

[Ghino]

I remember thaz

[Anonymous]

It makes you selfish. So you won't care about anything else other than yourself.

[Lucfer]

Everything you do changes you.

[Hyped_up_on_coffee]

No... during they are just mellow
