Is it normal to smoke weed everyday?

I'm a 21 year old university student, i have a part-time job, and I habitually smoke weed everyday. A few times a day. I was just wondering what other people thought... I don't do it for any particular negative reason that I'm aware of, quite the contrary actually... Without going into detail, I feel as though being high just makes things better? Not in the sense that "things are bad" to start, but it makes things more entertaining. I also think that university has increased the anxiety in me and decreased my innate ability to cope... Weed is very good at mellowing me out.

I've painted a pretty positive picture but I'm certainly open to criticism. Some of my closest friends have brought some of their concerns about my habitual smoking habits to my attention, and would really like to know if I'm in the wrong here

    Listen to your friends. In a stoned haze, it can be hard to see things properly. I do understand though how you feel. I mellow out too after a beer or joint, and on that find myself thinking that I should do it everyday to stop me going mental over the smallest things. The reality is though, you can't live life stoned. Cut back even, so you can enjoy it instead of it just being a silly habit

    A typical sign of addiction to weed is finding non-stoned life dull, but as you quit this feeling subsides. But I fuckin smoke everyday so...

    i think this is extremely normal. i am also a college university student and i smoke weed every day. last quarter i would wake n bake most mornings because, like you said, it just makes things better and more entertaining.
    i would go to class high as well, and smoke during breaks and after class throughout the night. not every second, but you get the point.
    anyway, my point is that i still got 3 b's and a b while doing this, and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it.
    this past week ive been taking a bit of a tolerance break, however, and only smoking after im done with my classes for the day (plus my last class is calculus). its been great - i get way more high at night now!
    you may want to give that a try, but i think your habits are completely normal as long as you are a happy and functioning member of society.

  • be really carefull. You dont want weed to replace your life, like you takin weed over paying rent , or going to work . Make sure you try to stay focused.. and i hope you quit someday. good luck!

  • I am majoring in Nuclear Engineering and marijuana is the only way I can relax at the end of the day. All I do is study so when I go home at night the only thing I want to do is light up and relax.

    the reason you're smoking several times a day is because you build up a tolerance - slowing down your consumption won't do anything more than help your wallet (you won't need as much to get high).

    I was happy to find most of the people responding to this post are NOT completely against it. I will only disagree with the mentally ill comment - without going into detail, there are many times I believe I'm alive simply because I took a hit.

    I don't feel like I abuse it, I feel like I space it out enough (in order to maintain potency) that it hasn't caused me any physical issues - at least not anymore than my cigarettes... in fact in the long term, the only thing I find affected by it is my short term memory. There was a period of time when the depression was so bad I smoked weed almost constantly. If you said something to me longer than 2 sentences, you'd have to repeat all of it, I would forget the 3rd sentence while trying to remember the first. Luckily I noticed, and I quit, without any real withdrawl symptoms, for approximately 3 months, and that short term memory seems to have fixed itself. I can also tell you during those 3 months that I was not smoking, I had twice as many migraines as I normally would have... it does convince me there are medicinal purposes.

    I just try to remember - moderation is the key. Anything in excess is bad for you. If you eat enough carrots, your skin will turn orange....hmm...

    I am a freshman in highschool and have been smoking everyday since 7th grade.
    I am an honors student and get good grades so I think it is pretty normal.

    is it that you want to smoke weed everyday or you HAVE to smoke weed everyday, because if you want to there's no problem with that, just don't loose sight of your life plans and don't get caught.

    Well, try to smoke less like a few time each week, tho I see no harm in only once every day. I don't know so much about long-term effect aside from fanatical study found by anti-drug groups fueled by government and money issue, it is better to be safe than sorry.

    nobody has ever died from weed abuse, and to get mentally ill you have to have an already existing mental problem. weed makes mental people worse but it wont make a sane person mental. i smoke it everyday too for about 4 years now, and its not done me any harm. just enjoy it while you can afford it :)

    Just be careful that smoking weed doesn't replace your ability to find life coping skills.

    for the main fact that u r a college student is a good enough reason to me to smoke pot. i smoked weed before i started college but not everyday. once i started college and started attending my classes i smoked pot about 3 to 4 times a day(no joke). it really helped me cope with anxiety, my job, and skool. so yea your normal just dont let weed control your life

      I started in highschool, not sure exactly when; for arguments sake lets say grade 10. My habit hasn't always been everyday though. It was infrequent, a couple times a month maybe. Only in the last year or two has it increased in frequency. I've also met a lot more people who are interested in the same things (i.e. weed)
