Weed: am i smoking entirely too much weed?

Normal? Absolutely.

The fact that you see that it is affecting other areas of your life is actually a very good thing.

Marijuana can be a beautiful and very beneficial thing, but in excess and in certain circumstances, like anything else, it can negatively impact your life. It's at that point that you need to evaluate how important it is to you.

Many people find it hard to give it up, but once they do, they realize it had been suppressing them and that they again enjoy doing the things they once did. Other people find that it enhances their lives and may have opened up new doors or opportunities that they wouldn't have reached out for in the past.

The trick is to find a happy medium--if you like smoking, great! Do it to have fun, and do it in moderation. It doesn't have to negatively affect your life, but if you're finding it difficult to maintain that level, then it might be best to stop entirely.

Dude naww somke weed..but dude get a life.. I smoke weed every day I do MMA go a girl and have a nice job...U just need to do shit and smoke weed.

It's totally normal to have those feelings. It is a good thing that you are considering this in your early adulthood.

Obviously, everyone is different in how their body reacts to marijuana and use of other substances. I smoke weed on a regular basis too. I still manage to be very productive, having 2 jobs and an active social life. I'm a pretty driven person that takes on tons of responsibility, so there are times when I manage to stress myself more than is necessary. When I smoke, it helps me to calm down and get rid of my excessive anxiety. It also helped me to claw my way out of an extended episode of depression I recently experienced.

However, I know that if I were to up the frequency of my usage, I would probably fall behind in managing my tasks. Since it seems like you've managed to fall a bit behind in your productivity based on your story, I think it could be quite beneficial for you to slow down. Having a clear, less hazy frame of mind so often could mean more success for you.

Get motivated and partake in more activities that will be rewarding for you in the long run. It's never good when you allow ANYTHING to control your life. YOU need to have the ability to decide what's right for you. Best of luck!

Only advice I have is you need to stop long enough to find another job. Most places drug test before they hire. Then after getting a new job you can go back to smoking again. But it really would be best to slow down a bit.

Just to let you know i didn't read your story or any comments i just read the header and No you're not possibly smoking too much weed...you couldn't smoke too much weed, there will never be anyone who smokes too much weed.

Don't feel bad. I'm a bum and a burnout too, and I didn't even need drugs to get there. I'm the type of guy the Spartans would have thrown off a cliff I guess... just genetically inferior. (And who's to say the Spartans were doing the wrong thing???)

At some point your going to have to face reality. SOme people do things like smoke drink do drugs have sex sleep etc... in order to get away from the true cause of their stress but these things are only temporary fixes and when u wake up from your high and the stress and guilt hits u stronger then ever u realize that ur only wasting time. The best thing u can do is come down from ur high and confront these feelings and figure out what is causing u the stress and emptiness

The fact that it's replacing some of your hobbies is just sad. It sounds like your life revolves around weed and that's too much. Try to cut back. If you can't then you may have an emotional dependence on it, and you will do best with help from a counselor/psychologist who specializes in that area.

wel if you stop will both have a problem i dont even know you and i think i want you to die inless you share some of tht shit

get a job, and go back to ur life dude....thats the best advice, drugs may be fun but theyre not a good thing...think about it

After that ultimate high you will never want to blaze again. Keep in mind a large and important part of your brain has shrunk or is in hibernation. The hippocampus I believe. So there's that too... Don't waste your mind bro just abuse it then quit it. Life's greater highs come from working out anyway. Extreme sports if you're good at that. Snowboarding etc. if not then just hit the gym

If you really want to quit waste all your money on weed an oz a lb etc... Step 2. Burn your connects all of them! Get that oz or pound n only pay a portion to the dealer tell him or her you will pay later but never do. Smoke that shit good ALL OF IT. Till you fucking lose your mind and experience THE ULTIMATE HIGH.

I think you need to be smart about your intake. For example, I love weed but shit needs to be done. I don't smoke on the week unless my depression acts up (that's why I smoke). When the week is finished I light up all weekend except Sunday night. You need to see the benefits of what life can be like without it. Remember how the euphoria feels and associate it with your life. Good luck

I know how you feel. I'm going through a similar situation. I get these thoughts in the back of my head that i should quit but I don't stop hitting the pipe and when i do, a few months later I end up smoking again.
I'm not sure what to do at this point. I'm trimming for some friends and i get tons of pot from it. The only thing is, I'm going to be living with my parents again soon and i cant come home smelling like pounds of herb, that's just disrespectful. So, I'm kinda cluster fucked right now because I'm getting really good weed, a little cash and free smoke.
I'm truly torn. :(

im the same bin smoking for 12 years thro shear boredom its when im bored its all i think about
