Anyone coming on here saying MJ doesn't make anger is wrong. Everyone is different and just because you haven't met someone who reacts angry with MJ doesn't mean it's doesn't create anger. I have found certain strains definitely has an anger effect. As a medical MJ card carrying patient I have been fortunate enough to try many many different strains. Some allow me to be calm others to fly off the handle exactly like the wife and mother of 2 has described. As my wife and I do not have children yet I now see I am fortunate to have not lost my beautiful wife. As MJ helps with my AI disease it has been difficult to let go of my medicine. But this is day 3 and I too feel much calmer like another poster has stated.

As I current look in my cabinet I have over 20 different strains and wish I recorded which I was calm on and which I got angry and said things I have never meant. Maybe in time I will try MJ as medicine again as it was much better than prescriptions for pain.

I hope others with MJ/ anger issues read this and try to let go as well as love is more important in the end. With my sickness I am so very fortunate to have a spouse that looks past the nasty sores and pain. If I lost her I would probably never find love again.


Good luck to all that have the same issues as some of us.

Don't listen to people in here who assume because they are not around people who get irritable and short tempered from weed it doesn't happen. It does. I know people who smoke every day and are very productive. I also know people who get very irritable, short tempered, will say very mean things, can't control themselves in an argument etc and it is def from weed. When they are not smoking they are not like that. Weed is fun to smoke from time to time but it's not something anyone should do daily. Good luck with your situation. I hope it gets better.

I have similiar problems with my boyfriend, well more or less. mainly verbally abusive, never physically violent to me though but when I can't hold myself back and start shouting back at him he could smash or kick things, too.
However the thing is, he is not only smoking 24/7, but towards the evening also drinking 2 beers sometimes more.
So I am wondering if this short-temperedness could also be the result of mixing weed with alcohol? Not just the weed? Does anyone has experience with this?

Sorry but I'd like to add some more...
I am not saying I am perfect but I don't feel that I ever deserve such blow-ups... It does hurt me every time it happens... I might be able to live with the fact that he forgets a lot of things, rarely thinks about consequences or shows lack of circumspection and foresight. I might be able to compensate for this... But this anger issue has to change... And as things look like he would rather lose me than slow down with smoking and drinking... Saying I have to love him for what he is... If he thinks that that this is the person he wants to be, I guess I will have to let him be this "person" and go - but it hurts...
And honestly: IHow can anyone say it doesn't change their mind, brain and consciousness if this was the reason for using it in the first place? Otherwise what's the point of waisting that much money on it every day? I don't condemn weed in general, not at all. But all mind-altering substances are no good once they turn into a habit... even if they're all natural... Nature made them for healing purposes and meditation... not to use several times a day. then it is called abuse...

I mean he probably would still have to work on his anger issues... and if he would make a break of a few months and nothing changed, he could still smoke weed again (maybe a bit less though). but atleast he could give it a try and see what happens... for us and our relationship...

Weed effects everyone differently it all depends on the person I have been smoking for a while especially this year and when I'm high I never get angry. There is only one way to get me angry when I'm high and it's always caused by someone who is just over beyond annoying but I have learned how to ignore it. Depending on your state of balance mentally and physically is how weed will effect you. For example physically if your fat before you smoke chances are you will gain or stay the same weight. But if you are skinny who works out you might gain muscle and work out more on weed. It all just depends on who you are before you smoke weed.

I have the same exact ... and I mean exact issue with my husband of 23 years. He started smoking more heavily over the past 5 years and it is put hell. He goes off in angry trantrums all of the time out of nowhere and over practically nothing. That's why I was looking up information regarding anger and smoking. I'm glad to see I'm not alone however, there's no doubt our marriage will be coming to an end soon because I can no longer take all of the abuse and my kids don't deserve to be around it.

what made me realize weed makes me angry is my boyfriend I almost lost over it. When I wasn't high I was the sweetest woman. When I smoked it, I became very mean and aggressive. Took a year to discover this. Went weeks without smoking, smoked with my sister and I went into a 500 page hateful rant. And that's not me. I blamed my childhood, him, my poor old cat too. But it was the weed. How I know? I only become that way when I'm stoned. So I decided it's not worth it. It's ruining a beautiful thing.

I'm sorry but anyone can control they're actions, it is not brought out by being depressed or bi polar or anything...its all in the brain if u believe u can do something and put your mind to it, it can be done. But if u wanna blame deseases that doctors make up like ADD and ADHD or even bi polar its just BS. Doctors are just trying to make as much money as they can and will diagnose people who don't even have the disease if its even real

I need guidance please. My boyfriend has been using MJ since he was a young teenager and he is currently 42. I am a few years older. We have been together for almost a year and love each other tremendously that we wanted to get a place together. He has horrible outbursts of anger at anything or when something doesn't go his way or out of frustration. I have noticed that if he smokes, he is much calmer and different. He has to smoke every day. If he does not, then there is potential for an outburst. We had an argument and last night over something petty in a conversation we were having. It was just a normal conversation and even though I was agreeing with him, I also was trying to protect him, but I didn't allow him to fully finish his sentence by agreeing with him and explaining why I agreed. Because he didn't get to explain himself fully, he grew so angry. I realized what happened and tried to let him talk and explain to me, but he grew so mean. When he finally blurted out what he was also saying, he was very rude. So, I calmly said to just talk with me like an adult and that I would let him off the phone and we would speak when he can talk to me like an adult. He hung up in the middle of the conversation. Now, he won't return any of my text messages or calls. I feel like I have lost him. This isn't the first time he has flown off the handle. It is only when he smokes, he is different and calm. I have realized this and was going to talk with him when we were together next to talk about it and come to a happy medium as I do not smoke or do any drugs. I did text him and apologized but that he also didn't have to be so horrible. I feel brokenhearted, lost, confused and hurt. Advice anyone?
