That depends on the mood you're in before you smoke. Sometimes I've introspective enough to enjoy the more positive perks of my personality or to at least have a really good conversation over a good cup of coffee (pot makes me crave coffee).
If I'm smoking refer, and I start feeling sad, I quickly find something to divert my attention. I want to enjoy myself. In fact, I've been a blubbering basket case when I was drunk way more times than I've ever been while high. I mean if I have to watch all the 'toons at illwillpress.com a million times or get up and dance, that's what I'm gonna do.
You can't stick one emotional lable on marijuana because a. it effects everyone differently, b. you have a certain amount of control over how you want your experience to be, and c. if you've never smoked before and just seen people high it doesn't make you any sort of judge as to the effects of marijuana.
They don't know the total effects of THC on the brain, that's why my psychiatrist recommends that people on psychotropic meds don't smoke it. There are millions of studies, billions of theories, and zero conclusions.

I would say you could emotionally label it as much as you can label alcohol with 'aggression' and 'confidence'.
These might not be constant, guaranteed traits of the drugs, but they sure are popular symptoms - which let's face it is what leads us as users and scientists as researchers to draw their conclusions in respect of the effects.
I've seen heavy smokers go down the same mental path - they do an awful lot of planning, moaning and reflection with a distinct delusion of grandeur... maybe the dope gives them insight and good ideas, but carrying them through is another matter.
