I use weed as medicine...

I smoke weed because it keeps me level. and by level i mean before i smoked weed i was angry and violent. since i started i am mellow (big surprise.) I don't smoke more than like a bowl a day at the most. Sometimes not at all. But every 2 or 3 days i absolutley have to or else i will go right back to being a dickhead. Anyone else?

    I have nothing against weed, but you're using too often. Maybe just stop finding excuses and try not to be a dick? There's a novel idea.

    Using weed as a crutch. Try self control instead.

    It's good that it works, and weed is good for a lot of things, but you need to be able to be normal without it soon.

    I try not to use weed to solve my problems when I'm feeling shitty, only smoking when I'm already in a good state of mind or when my stomach acts up really badly. Point being, its not a crutch, and there are many more tangible medical conditions that medical marijuana was meant to treat.

    personally, i hate drugs. i have nothing against the people that use it, but i will never use them. i've seen the effects of it. but weed was originally used as a medicine, so as long as you're using it for what it is you're using it for.

    K well maybe you have a mild mood problem or a mild mental desease. Weed is actualy a cure for alot of mood problems. Keep smoking theres no better medication out there, trust me. It's actualy good for you if you don't overdo it, trust me.

    Weed is grown from the earth we were meant to have it. My brother has chrones disease and it helps him better than his regular meds, it's only a matter of time until we can be prescribed medical marijuana so I say smoke all u want if it helps u.

    I used weed to self medicate for a long time (10+ years). While it did help curb my angry outbursts and irrational thoughts, I found that those symptoms were slowly replaced by lack of motivation, irrational fear of "running out" and constant paranoia when high. When I stopped I had to learn how to deal with myself again, and I wish I had learned that 10 years and $20,000 ago

    Go out on a friday night, watch people getting into fights. Are they drunk or on weed? Weeds okay, just make sure you keep your head straight!

    for all the haters and doubters, check out the FACTS on NORML.org. Marijuana is good for you. So toke it up my friend. It has been a proven medicine against depression. On a personal note, I have weed to thank for completely curing me of cancer and treating my bipolar. Ignorance and fear keep it illegal.

    Weed won't solve your problems, just delay them. Search your feelings for your fears and take time to listen. Misunderstanding leads to fear and fear leads to suffering.

    Smoking weed can seem like it works, and really even work, for sorting out some problem like this for quite a long time.

    It won't last; in the long run it will only make it worse. Unfortunately, the boring sensible people are right.

    You should take care of your issues, esp if you get violent, but if it helps you, good for you. Just be aware its illegal in many states and countries. Good luck.

    Yes smoking weed is normal.

    If you don't want to turn into a raging psycho the moment you run out, I would suggest you see a therapist. Maybe he or she can help you determine the cause of your outbursts and anger issues. Maybe a therapist could even help you find a way to deal with your problems. Just an idea, in case you don't want to live your life perpetually stoned :)

    You should take some time off, buy an ounce, and just sleep and relax for a while. Start to forgive people when they fuck up, and give them credit when they don't. And share the lord's green harvest.

    A guy I used to work with had the same deal. He'd light up before work, and he'd be fine. But one day he ran out, and got fired that same day for cussing out our boss. *shrugs*

    listen man my dad used to be a total asshole for a while, then one promising day i brought home an 8th of laughing buddah and i offered him some...he reluctantly accepted my generous offer, so we sat down and lit a fat bowl of some of my very potent shit and within miniutes i saw a peaceful calm side of my dad that i've never seen before. And the funny thing was that tranquil side of my dad seemed to show itself for 3-4 days after smoking. I have my own theries for this: the main being that cannabis makes you relized how trivial and unimportant some little things are...for example id rather break a lamp at a stoners house then an alcoholics house...my father now smokes 2-3 times a day and his life has greatly improved. I say to you good sir keep smokeing the sweet leaf if it gives you a good buzz awsome, if it makes you less of a dick even better the world could use less of them (pun intended)

    You're emotional/anger problems will need to be addressed in a different way.
    At the moment it's clear that you're puffing the chiba specifically for the purpose of preventing an outburst, and from personal experience I can tell you this most certainly does not help - quite the contrary - makes it worse.
    Any habit can become an addiction through dependence. Don't be an addict just because you think you need to. You don't.

      You cannot become an 'addict' but you can use weed as a crutch, thus thinking you are addicted. Address your problems when you're angry / violent - weed can help you think harder on why you're actually pissed off but it cannot solve the problem. Enjoy it for fun, or to relax, but never use it to forget.
      And finally, weed isn't bad for you either - hence why weed's actually used for medicinal purposes in some countries. It has a lot of positive sides that many people seem to miss, and it's less destructive than drinking alcohol.
