Huge problem with weed

[neobyte1]

So i am wondering what is weed doing to me. I have been smoking weed few years now and now i moved to a new apartment. Alone. So i have been living here for like three weeks now and i have been smoking weed everyday. So this morning i woke up and begin to think why do i smoke everyday? Usually i drink two or three beers before i smoke so the beer is like boosting the effects and then im more fucked up.

I just don't know why i want to get fucked up every day. I mean my life is great. I have great friends who i can trust and great parents and great city i live. I would like to smoke less weed. That would be good but i can't. If i have any weed i have to smoke it everyday. I can't stop smoking it if i know i have it. I was thinking about quitting weed this morning but then i just smoked some pot instead. I mean this is insane. I know smoking weed everyday is a sign that your life isn't as good as it could be. Running away from reality doesn't fix anything.
Something need change?

I would like to do flash or making my own videogames instead like i did earlier in my life! Could somebody please tell me what to do. Some tips? Anyone had the same problem?

Discust.

My brother complains about how weed changed many of his friends into dullards who don't give a shit about anything anymore and just drop out of life.

Yeah, "harmless" my ass.

I wouldn't recommend quitting weed all together.
Maybe try cutting back, you know, smoke a joint every two days, more of an excitement that way!

like you they just fail

Anyway, I would suggest going cold turkey. If you think you can keep it in moderation, you can think about smoking again in the future, but my suggestion is, stop it until you get your life in order.

you've got to be fucking ignorant if you think marijuana can't have a negative impact on your life. I smoke grade fairly often as well, and I've seen some people suffer some horrific consequences - namely social ones. while it might not fuck you up in the head, alot of my friends got lazier and lost their jobs.
marijuana, like alchohol and other drugs, needs to be used responsibily. any substance is open to abuse.

How do I fail? Jesus, how does a drug that supposedly relaxes you turn people in such dicks about it? Man, legalise all drugs except weed. Because fuck you.

I don't do it personally, but I don't understand why weed is so demonized. It's not like alcohol; You don't see this situation:
"Woah, man, you need to stay away from Brian, he's been smoking too much weed. He might flip and beat your ass."

No. It's more like:
"Brian's been smoking weed, so he might eat all your Cheerios, fall asleep on your couch, and smell like weed."

BIG DIFFERENCE.

DRUGS R KEWWWWWWWL.

I have two aquaintances who smoke weed, they both dropped out of high school and were kicked out of home. This was 3 years ago....no change.

Those are just the cases I've observed though.

thats the thing, its completely the same with alchohol and other recreational drugs. as long as you don't abuse the substance, its ok to use it in moderation.

[Lost-Chances]

Weed, like at least one hundred thousand different fucking things, is good in MODERATE quantities. Too little is fine as well. It's too much and you end up pathetic. You kill the joy you had with weed by getting used to it and the side-effects damage you more than the "good things" affect you.

I agree with this. If you start doing sometime everyday, you are going to take the magic away from it. Make it like a weekend thing or something. Give yourself sometime to do things sober for a while. It has always been said that when you get tired and lazy from smoking, you have to lay off for a while. Also, in many ways, being sober after being high everyday can be a kind of trip on its own (typically because your readjusting to your surrounds and you have this everything is falling into place feeling, which is hard to describe, but pretty awesome).

You also mentioned that if you have weed, you have to smoke it. This tends to be typical of a mental addiction, but bare in mind that I do not label anyone as a addict until I can observe a typical day (just in case you strongly feel that you are not an addict). Anyways... my way of dealing with an addiction is to remove all sources of it and deal with it without the added pressure. Give your bag/bowl, whatever to a friend and say that you need to sober up for a while (I personally would not trust any friends I have with my supply, but you made it sound is if you have someone that can do this.)

Lastly, take some time to think about why your reasons for smoking. For me, it is a thing that gives me some creativity and I also generally take time to reflect on somethings while blazed. If it seems like you are only doing it out of habit or to escape (which is often the case for everyday smokers) then you probably need to lay off.

Anyways, that is my input and if you do decide to quit, go ahead, as I firmly believe that this is merely a choice in life, and no one should have the ability to force you to do anything that you don't want to.

Ah, Argumentum Ad Hominem, I forgot where I was posting, I shouldn't have been expecting any intelligent rebuttal.

A lot of posts just means that I had a lot of free time the past few years.

Start by taking it every two days, work with it until you do it every once every few weeks or so.
Soon you'll think that you can live without weed. And then you can stop.

It's nothing physical, all mental.

He specifically asked for a responce of some substance.
At least use correct grammer and punctuation, DICKWEED!!

Yup cut it back. Yesterday i med a friend at a bar, he moved away a year ago and we meet only every few month. we had some beers laughed and shared a joint as part of the celebration. It was huge fun. I never smoke alone, only when i'm with good friends, its a little bonus once in a while never more often than once a month. So it stays fun is always a special lil goodie. And it doesnt affect your life at all.

[doubleone]

If weed is causing you to fail at other things or keeping you away from family then it's best to cut back.
Otherwise, smoke it up!

[Pugberto]

Stop smoking it, you've become addicted to it. You need stop this to save your future or you'll just continue going down the same path.

[neobyte1]

Yeah i have been asking myself alot why do i really want to be sober or high everyday. There is no reason. I don't have any stress or school. Im jobbless. I just don't have anything to do. Every day is same. Maybe im looking for some happiness or excitement to my boring days by smoking weed and drinking.

But i don't do any other drugs. I only eat shrooms sometimes. Well i was in Spain before Christmas and i did coke there once. I decided it was only a "once in a lifetime" experience and i never try it again. I don't grow weed, i only buy it or get it for free. My friends grow it. Im scared if i someday start growing my own weed, things go bad and i smoke months and months.

And yeah, smoking weed everyday is like a habit or sometimes "escape" tool from reality to me now. It shouldn't be so.

yeah, it can't just be that they're irresponsible nimrads.

[B4gle]

Sell everything you have and just try to stop. It will probably be okay to smoke it once in a while after but you have to make sure you are ableto go at least week without it.

[Steven-Polley]

You should probably stop then lol.... Quit all in one day. And never go back!

[CogSpin]

Weed does not CAUSE people to "drop out of life".

They want to do that to begin with, and as a result, start smoking weed.

It's that way round, you idiot. Weed, if anything, is good for you.

[Figter]

Its ure life,have fun

A lot of people claim that weed isn't a gateway drug, but they never mention about doing weed alone. It's the equivalent of playing World of Warcraft, except now you're not even making e-friends.

and you sound like an idiot.
its because of abuse. there will always be a select number of people who abuse any certain substance. Weed, used in moderation is a fun and relaxing thing to do that has no real negative connetations.
anyone who abuses ANYTHING will experience negative consequences, whether its alchohol, chocolate, video games, tv, anything.
Abuse is a problem. Marijuana is not.

I tried cannabis once. I thought i saw some ghosts. Scary.
Say no to drugs- they fuck you up.

[Allocer91]

I denounce everything that every uneducated person has said about weed thus far. Weed to a person is how the person takes it, it's differen't with everybody. If you turn into a couch locked, fat retard soon after you start smoking weed, it's because you're a fat miserable waste of human flesh who would of ended up that way anyways. If you've been smoking for a few years and now it suddenly feels bad or wrong to you, i'd say be more careful with what you play with if you're going to be like that, but honestly.

It won't hurt you, but use in moderation. And stop drinking those beers before you smoke.

[Rallard]

OP, come on man, just keep smoking weed. There's plenty of successful people who smoke and if your life is going good, weed isn't going to make it any worse.
