All most every night i have to smoke weed before i can fall asleep?

I went through years and years of smoking weed every day and the last year I've managed to cut down to special social occasions.

From my experience it is usually creative people that smoke weed every day and they do it because as you said, it stops the constant thoughts. Tell me if this sounds like you.

You are a creative person but you're also frustrated. You know you have lots of interesting ideas but you can't figure out what to do with them. You have no outlet so they just end up swimming around your head.

Please don't try to squash these thoughts with weed. Find an outlet for them. Write down everything you're thinking, make music, paint, use that excess mental energy to run, make things, occupy your mind with challenging books. For the first few weeks sleeping will be difficult and you might feel depressed, get into arguments and feel paranoid and anxious (I definitely did). One day however you'll wake up, feeling warm and comfortable after a night of beautiful mellow dreams, the sun will be shining, you'll be thinking clearly and soberly and realise that life is beautiful enough as it is.

Don't squash the thoughts, use them in this world.

I love to admire Nancy Pelosi and imagine her naked, naked, naked. Then I go into bathrooms and scrawl anti-Republinazi graffiti with filthy words and the actual home phone numbers of prominent members of that racist bunch.

then I think about the job I lost because of Bush and Cheney's lying and cheating and traitorous behavior.

i use to be like that till i got locked up,i had to learn to go to sleep without it

I'm with joyless on this one. I smoked every day and night for years and nothing that great ever came of it. I'm not against smoking and still do from time to time but not habitually anymore. It's normal in that a lot of people smoke every night. It's not normal in that it isn't your default state of consciousness. Life is better not being numb ALL the time.

Yes its normal. I smoke about a quarter ounce a day, and it does help. If you don't like smoking a lot of it before bed, ask your doctor to put you on Cesesmet. Its essentially a pot pill you take b4 bed. My doctor put me on it so I wouldn't waste more money buying pot so I could sleep.

All I have to say is that MountainWolf speaks the truth. Weed isn't dangerous and its not gonna hurt you but it really messes you up in a different way when it becomes daily. When things come up in your life you gotta think and deal with them. When you smoke too much weed you just end up looking forwards to going home so you can just forget everything instead.

I was the same way. Then one day I ran out of weed and decided to not buy any more. The following week sucked. I couldn't fall asleep at night until really late and I was always craving it because it was so habitual. But soon enough things will go back to normal

Wait until you cant get that high anymore.. you have to start buying the really expensive dank fuckin shit to get high.. it sucks.. i could smoke blunts of reg. all day and be a little buzzed..

ahh i think it is not normal.

i smoked pot every night for years, couldnt sleep without it. I havent smoked in a few years now and im back to normal sleeping patters, just takes a while to adjust back to normal.

oh, man, I could've written that. yeah, it's normal if you're a regular potsmoker, like me. but i'm sick of it! i wish i could fall asleep without being stoned! but i just think too fucking much if i'm not.

any suggestions?

Been there done it and it sucks. I'm not sure if it's an addiction but the cycle needs to be broken, I still need it sometimes to fall asleep myself but only when I%%u2019ve something really big on my mind. I'm sorry there is no quick fix for this one, try taking less at first if it does worry you.

totally normal...

yea man your n ormal lol i do to
