Do i smoke too much cannabis

I am 25 and I have smoked weed since I was 17. Eversince then I smoke it about 4 times a day and I don't wake up till 1pm but also I don't go to bed till about 3-4 am. I am female and I am not a bum or anything like that, I work and I am able to afford a house so it's not like that. I was wondering if I smoke too much. I also smoke cigarettes, Newports since 17 also at about 13 cigarettes a day. The weed I smoke 2 out of the 4 sessions is out of blunt wraps. I have always had anxiety and most strains seem to help my anxiety(which I take an anti anxiety pill for everyday) but I feel like I have to breathe a smidge bit more deeply than I used to or than of normal people. when I ask my doctor( who doesn't know about me smoking weed- or at least its not said if she does) They jus told me that it is most likely my anxiety, and not to worry. They even had me blow into this thing that tells how much oxygen is in our blood(which would be if the lungs are working right or not) and that said I had 98% oxygen so I was good. So I think my real question would be do I smoke too much in general or am I nuts(anxiety)!? thanks any input is good input!

    I have anxiety problems and stuf. Trust me, keep using it. But you should stop smoking cigaret, it causes way more anxiety than you think. I know its hard its been like 4 monts now for me. But for a person with anxiety like us i think its crucial.

    Lol don't worry, I smoke minimum of a half quarter a day and have no Ill effects. I'd stop the cigarettes tho.

    Some people with anxiety can have difficulty in functioning and might not be able to really enjoy life or function without it. So, since that seems to be what describes you, you aren't smoking too much weed and cigarettes. If you didn't have anxiety, I'd say your just a pothead but since you do have a real condition that effects you significantly, it probably helps a lot

    I told myself for 25+ yrs that weed helped my anxiety when in truth it's really almost always made it worse.

    The times that smoking REALLY helped my anxiety were few and far between, and each time I smoked I hoped that this time it would actually work. It usually didn't but I was so high and distracted I either didn't pay attention or just didn't want to acknowledge it.

    The past year I finally had to start taking 'real' anti anxiety meds for it. But I really didn't want to have to need Xanax just to get through the day! So I quit using cannabis, and now I don't need anti anxiety drugs anymore, my depression is gone along with my "psychotic-ish" symptoms.
    It really was hindering me more than it helped, and I tried to justify using it 2-5 x's a day for many many years, honestly I feel better now that I stopped.

    I don't even need herbs to help me go to sleep anymore like I did every day for decades.

    I say quit the cigarettes. Health Canada recommends 1g of marijuana per day for anxiety above that is recreational, supposedly, but fuck that, using it for it's health benefits? Right on, but you might accumulate some lung damage going into excess [none for low amounts daily], try baking or buy a volcano vaporizer to keep up your health if you intend to smoke so much. You must have lungs of steal to smoke that many blunts in a day... joints yeah I can understand, smoking blunts... occasional or if its summer then burn it. I can't judge since I'm chronic too, I alternate between edibles and joints

    hey jus wanted to say that i no longer smoke blunts like i did, only lots of joints, they seems smoother on my lungs. I have fixed the blunt problem by only burning high quality at smaller doses. And thats for the comments!

    Smoke of any sort will hurt you eventually.Do what you want as long as you're functioning.But if you want my honest oppinion I'd cut back on the pot and quit cigs entirely.Though I am kind of curious why you smoke so much.

    People are so dumb posting stuff they don't know. Smoking will help your anxiety, not make it worse. Seems like u have it under control. But as soon as you see it getting to be to much I would cut back. Enjoy:)

    That's you and me, chica. We're *exactly* alike.

    I don't feel like I smoke too much weed, I've been smoking pretty much every day for the last ten years, and I smoke a pack a day, too.

    You should consider telling your doctor, though. There are laws that prevent him/her from reporting you to police for it, so there's no danger there. Yeah, the doctor is going to bitch about you smoking *anything*, but you already know that. But it's important that your doctor know about all possible drug interactions, especially if he's prescribing you psych meds. Cannabis is pretty non-intrusive when it comes to drug interactions, but there's still benefit to your doctor having the full story on your body.

    That's fine. That's your lifestyle. But that much smoke is going to fuck up your lungs. And the pot is probably not helping your anxiety much.

    You are your own person... Live your life how you want. I used to smoke...my father still does. Last month he was diagnosed with COPD...the outlook with that is never good. Soooo that's something to think about.

    hey if you can keep a job and a house and still smoke pot everyday, then that doesnt sound like a problem to me. i smoke pot most nights and it helps me sleep but i like to take breaks every now and then to give my body some healing time. i might not have any one night and then on a weekend, i might smoke all day if i dont plan on going out anywhere. if your doctor said your lungs are in good shape, dont worry about it. but i would suggest taking a break for a month or two since you have been smoking it for a number of years and then when you start smoking again, your body wont be as used to it so you wont have to smoke so much to get stoned.

    This is the story of my life. Ask yourself... Are you happy with what you've become? Or no? If not... Then stop smoking weed. I think it's the stoggies. Quit girl... That's bad for your health.
