Thats pretty cool, have you ever thought about expanding your drug use to other things?

I know it must sound crazy to some people, but if that's the case then you've never dealt with an addiction before. Whether it's cigs, drugs, alcohol, food, exercise, whatever -- addiction is NOT easy!

Don't act like weed is actually an addicting substance. Your addicted to it like a kid is addicted to candy, it's all about will power.

Is playing down an addiction supposed to make her feel any better? Whether it's about willpower or not (although she has even stated in the first post that she understands that, and never claimed it to be a physical dependence), it can still be quite hard to take control.

I went through the same shit you went through.

College was rough, different area, different weather, definitely brought me out of my comfort zone.  I felt really anxious anytime I wasn't high cause I'd be self-conscious about all kinds of really retarded shit.

I smoked to make it through the day without thinking about stuff that got me down.  THC is a muscle relaxant because it slows down the rate at which your synapses fire in the brain.  It's been proven to help with issues of anxiety.

It seems youve been smoking as much and as frequently as I used to.  What are you burning through? A quad in a week?

I suggest doing a little research about General Anxiety Disorder (GAD) and Dysthemia.  A lot of the time excessive use may be contributed to some underlying issues.

I love some crystally purps as much as the next person, but weed shouldn't be used as a crutch.  Don't you miss the times where you could smoke and laugh uncontrollably?  Skipping a day or two can bring you right back to that feeling.  It's not about the duration of your high, its the quality of the high.

Best advice: find a hobby that doesnt require sitting indoors.  Pick up whittling or something.  That way you can whittle a wooden bowl for the weekends.  Ahahaha

Thank you, Jenny.

Cosmic Consciousness, I do understand that it's not physically addicting. I am definitely mentally dependent on weed though, and I can promise you that. You make it sound like willpower is so damn easy to control, but try telling that to anyone with an addiction and see what the response is. You've obviously never dealt with an addiction, so it's probably hard for you to grasp this. Food is NOT physically addicting, but tons of people are addicted to it. I have watched documentaries about morbidly obese people who simply cannot stop putting food into their mouths. Physically non-addictive substances CAN BE mentally addictive. Take a psychology class or something if you don't believe me, or talk to a psychologist who specializes in addictions. It irritates me that you seem to view some addictions as a simple joke, when in reality they can be much more serious.

i kno exatly what u are goin through, like my addiction to pot was very strong to the point where i would smoke up to 4 days b4 drug test (i am on probation) and right after the test i would have a joint or a blunt rolled and ready to go, but after goin to jail (got a mip on probo) i came out and i had to go the consoling and my consoler was goin to be drug testing me and i decided to try to quit and i was able too sooo u can quit or cut back it just comes down to how much YOU want it, and it isent easy but you are goin to have to hang out with ur friends that use less until u get to the point where u can turn it down if u have to see ur family or other simular situations...

i wish u luck i kno how hard it can be pm me if u need help....
