addicted to owning weed

[ambiguous_logic]

ok so i am 25 and have been smoking for 11 years and probably nearly everyday for the last 9 years or so, in the last 3 years my consumption has dropped dramaticly mainly due to full time work and i am finding that i can now go a day without smoking pot quite easily.
my major problem is that i can go without smoking with not much of a problem if i know i have weed in the house, but if i dont have weed in the house i get edgy, its as though if i dont have the option of getting stoned i cant relax, now it seems as though its the actual possesion of weed that i am addicted to as opposed to the actual smoking, i guess its a kind of security thing having it in the house.
anyone else experience anything similar?

i use to be like that, its like your security blanket

I'm the same way. It doesn't matter if I'm smoking at the moment cuz I know everything will be all better as long as my nugs are secure. If I don't have any I'm thinking about how the hell I'm going to get the chronic when I get out of work.

Im the same way man.

While I've never had that... I do get way too overly happy when I do have pot. Lol. Even if I haven't smoked it, knowing it's sitting in the drawer just WAITING to be smoked is enough to make me smile. But then again I'm sure that's true for most stoners.

Interesting thread ambiguous...

 

[lolitsjohn]

same way

 

[Kiddynamite]

I agree and I think I'm the same way, I'm just much happier knowing I can go home after a long day and relax, unwind and light up.
If I don't have herb (like currently) I'm wondering where I'm gonna get some.
This Friday/Saturday my friend is picking one of his full-grown plants and drying it and selling it to me, 10 grams for $50, ah makes befriending him in the first place all worth while...

 

[TheMadcapLaughs]

i am the exact same way, if i have herb i can go without smoking for a day, but if i dont have any herb i will def buy some and smoke

 

[fizzacyst]

Thats me, pretty much. Sometimes I'll sit on the stuff for a week or two and never touch it. I've even pulled some out of the stash to let a stressed out friend get lit up and not puffed any.

My job stresses me out quite a bit at times, dealing with some of the people I have to deal with (being the tech guy at a place where people can barely check their email). It feels great to know that I can get out of there, go home, lay in the hammock with some downtempo going, and burn one down... even if I don't get around to smoking it. Just being able to get high at any random moment, or being able to smoke out a friend if they drop buy is nice.

I'm out right now though.

This phenomenon is not limited to mj smokers only! I know a lot of different people who are the same way with different substances, but most of the time i've noticed that it's the cig smokers that are like this as well.

I get the same way. When I know my stash is low, like one or two days' worth of smoking left, i'll already start making the calls to see when I can get more. Once I have it though, I relax just because I know it's around even if I don't feel like or can't smoke that evening. Crazyness

 

[tenuousandpale]

yes all the time. i need it onnnn me. i dont need to be smoking all the time (though at least once a day) but i do need to have it on me. same with smokes.

 

[solistus]

It's like you read my mind; I'm the exact same way. I think it's partially because I use herb for various non-recreational roles - to cure insomnia, to deal with minor to moderate pain (everything from bruises and cuts to stomach aches), etc. - and when I don't have any, I can't do that. Also, I smoke pretty much every day, so not being able to get stoned is a disconcerting feeling.

Luckily, I rarely have this problem.

 

[orangelicker]

,lol; what an oxy moron

"having weed is my security blanket"

or maybe im just stoned and this nmakes no sense!

But I too am the same way. its like when I dont have weed I try everything to get some and when I finally do its like I can not smoke it and still be content

 

[bOrPaIdAlTeEyS]

i feel like this with opiates. my withdrawls are twice as bad when i dont have any pain pills or somthing lying around

 

[Malice]

I agree 100%. It's great piece of mind. I love having drugs at arm's reach and when I have no stash I'm very edgy and anxious.

 

[sn0wburt0n]

wow that makes sense to me, though i've never looked at it like that. the peace of mind associated with possessing the substance helps me to kind of be relaxed. now that i dont have any kind herb around me for miles, i miss it dearly

 

[Ojom]

I definetely have to say you are not alone. Just having the option / ability to get high gives me a piece of mind.

 

[ToxicFerret]

It's definitely a comfort thing. You feel much more secure knowing that the option of getting high exists. I certainly know the feeling well. It's particularly strong when I buy a large quantity of some real kind bud. It's like cop a halfsie and say to yourself "Now I can get high every day for the rest of the week... fuckin awesome!"

I miss weed.... fucking piss tests for 'drug school'. At least in a month when I can finally smoke freely my tolerance will be microscopic... and I can't very well fucking wait to make a dub sack last a week like I used to be able to!

 

[Jefftildeath]

Funny stuff, I'm the same way. It's a security blanket. A few weeks ago I got an ounce and turned to my friend and said "everything's gonna be cool for <shakes bag> this long".

It just makes it so everything is okay, just knowing it's there for you.
