What bad side effects have you experienced from Marijuana?

It changed me as a person. I have always been a proponent for the use of pot but I started to notice these things increase over time. I have laziness, short-term memory, dark circles under my eyes, sleep problems, “weirdness”, anxiety and depression, decrease in social contacts. All psychological withdrawal symptoms besides dark-circles which I think is from smoking and careless diet. I am quitting. I will say that pot inspired me creatively with music and writing but I think it has opened me up enough and I want to go back to normal and be able to not feel awkward. Don’t give me any crap about how pot is God’s drug he planted here for us and it is natural and makes you happy. You have no idea what chronic use can do to you if you say this.
I have considered suicide before…It DID lead me to other drugs. I experienced pscilocybin mushrooms numerous times as well as mescaline. I also tried salvia which was insane.
I am not saying marijuana is a terrible drug in minimal amounts. Constant everyday use is not healthy why do some people believe this? If you looked at my life before i started you would see that these things are defiinately the result of marijuana. I may have smoked alot but I am not stupid. Marijuana shortens your dendrites,(making you forgetful and slow) makes you overanalyze things (making you indecisive). It may relax you, but all the while your heart is racing, and some people can’t help but attribute this to anxiety. I also have been smoking very potent weed. Not regular swag. I have seen the same things in other people. It takes over the activities you once loved. For instance, I like to play soccer. But, then i decided i should get high and play. So then soccer became associated with getting high. Not to mention that marijuana slows your reflexes as well. I dont play soccer anymore because of my symptoms.
