Are you happy pot is a part of your life?

It's been over a year since I've smoked. I miss it so much! Like someone else said moderation is key. I find it extremely difficult to use it in moderation. If I were to smoke now and have access to it, I have little doubt that I would soon become a daily smoker again. I have that addictive personality.

I am definitely better off without it. Some people can smoke once in a while and be just fine, I envy those people. Sobriety feels rewarding sometimes and extremely boring at other times. Even though it's been a year, I still have dreams about smoking. It was just such a big part of my life. All my friends were stoners and there were many times that I was high all day long. I really miss that life style. But, I can't go back to it. In this year alone, I've accomplished more than I ever did in the past 5 years while I was getting high. I was a functioning stoner with a job, but I was lazy. I can't imagine how much further I would be in life if I had never smoked.

My thoughts are clearer now. I find I have more confidence in all areas of my life. I am less afraid of failure and thus willing to try new things. When life pushes me I push back instead of just giving up. I have amazed myself with what can be accomplished with some determination and planning.
 
Im happy, it helps me relax, it is a nice release after a long day, it helps me think bout important issues in my life, and ITS FUN!

although, i am not blind to its downsides. It can be expensive, can hinder my motivation, and makes me pretty lazy.

I have found if I limit my smoking to once daily, I can control the negative aspects or weed, and overall it is still a positive influence in my life.
 
i love getting stoned as much as anyone but it has made me very lazy and unmotivated. if i never smoked i doubt i would be so lazy.
 
you been smokin a little more than anyone if it's made you lazy and unmotivated. you do that to your self my friend, herb abuse is just a symptom of the ennui.
 
Pot will be the best thing thats ever happened to me or that could be an integral delight in my life as long as it never causes any long term health problems... it will be flawless and a gem to my existence if I live to 80 but if it takes me down i'd regret every hoot... lol I like to believe that its benefits far outweighs the tar in my lungs though, such as appetite increase, skinny to healthy as all can be and I used to reject food or skip it. now I eat like a farmboy
 
im happy that i smoke weed, i love smoking. weed has its ups and downs just like anything, so I am happy most of the time but I get depressed other times and wish I didn't smoke(as much). Just remember everything in moderation (even weed) and you will always be happy weed is in your life.
 
I feel passive about pot.

It's only part of my life because good opiates, psychedelics, amphetamines and benzodiazepines are limited availability... like near impossible to find right now....

Tragic, isn't it
 
Like many here, I feel conflicted about weed. I love it, it's a huge part of who I am and I smoke it every day. It also allows me to maintain psychological stability without a pharmaceutical anti-depressent, which is nice. But it also kinda fucks up my social life sometimes, makes me lazy, although I've been gradually smoking less and later in the day then ever before in my smoking career, which helps solve this problem by only making me lazy when I don't have shit to do, and I've gotten in some legal trouble over it, although that's really the fault of drug laws, not weed itself.

At the end of the day though, I'd rather have a life with weed in it then without. I just wish I had the willpower to use it with more moderation, but I enjoy/need it too much to do that I think. At least I'm not smoking meth.

I honestly can take it or leave it. I do find it relaxing at times, and am happy to have some at hand when the mood hits, but I don't really miss it when it's gone, either. :\

Same here. I don't smoke it anymore. I had fun smoking it daily and on weekends when I was younger alone and with friends but aside from caffeine, drinking booze, and sometimes vaping herb I don't really use drugs at all now.

I only vaporize it at rare times with friends or when I don't have to work the next day, as vaping keeps me high for a lot longer than smoking ever did, and I would eat it again.

Even when I smoked herb daily or very frequently on weekends I'd go for periods of time where I'd do that for months but then stop for months or most of a year and I'd just use other drugs.
 
i am defiantly happy cannabis is in my life. it has enhanced so many experiences and allows me to meet interesting people I wouldnt normally meet without mj.
 
Hell yeah, without Cannabis I do believe life would be alot harder to bare at times. Everybody in life has their own helping mechanisms to treat themselves out when stressed, smoking some wonderful hashish just eases me into a warm happy bubble and makes me feel care free once more!

Very happy that it's in my life!
 
I've been smoking cannabis everyday for close to 6 years now. I vaporize about 1g a day and here's my take on all this.

Strong cannabis is not made to be smoked daily. The difference is like drinking beer everyday vs getting hammered on strong whiskey daily. High THC bud is NOT daily bud, not for me. high THC/low CBD is not compatible with my line of work and wrecks short term memory.

After awhile I look back at my week and wonder where all the time went. I barely remember it. This doesn't happen with all strains, only the strong 20%+ THC strains.

Some strains are very euphoric and get rid of anxiety. They also don't disrupt short term memory. These I use to wake and bake and smoke throughout the day.

I feel cannabis has helped me tremendously in overcoming anxiety and has made me an overall better person. I'm far more aware of people's emotions and cannabis gave me something to have in common with many other people which helped introduce me to many great friends. everyone here smokes.

The one thing that can make cannabis start to suck is if you have a ritual surrounding it. If "smoking weed" to you is inviting all your friends over, getting the bongs out, and making a big deal about it, then it's easy to see why some people will consider this a waste of time eventually or simply not worth doing all day.

If you treat it like a cup of tea you get so much more out of it.
 
^ I know exactly what you mean about losing time. When I smoked all day, I'd have a hard time remembering the past. What did I do two days ago? I could function, but I wasn't nearly as sharp as I once was. Before I smoked I considered myself to be sharp-witted and more creative. When I got high I felt like I was in a bubble, escaping from reality.

I definitely ritualized it. All I ever wanted to do was smoke. If I had some other obligation, I would dread it and rush home to get stoned. I stopped hanging out with my friends that didn't smoke. Some of my stoner friends seemed to use each other just to get high. I know this is an extreme example, but it can happen to those with an addictive personality.

After I quit I regained my clarity, but my late teens and early twenties are gone forever.

I know that pot has significantly improved MY life, but I cannot say it will work the same for others. For me pot is like... You know that feeling when your are really fucking busy and stressed and frantically running around trying to get everything done (work, school, family etc) and you get so frustrated that you dont even know what the fuck to do and you just have to PAUSE, take a deep breath, calm down, figure out a plan and do it. So for me, pot is that deep breath that I have to take to calm down and figure everything out. Before I started smoke I had a lot of problems with stress and anxiety to the point where I was depressed and felt like giving up all together. Now whenever I start to get to frustrated with all of the chaos of my life, I have a way of dealing with it.

Also, before I started smoking pot frequently, I used to get really worried about changes in my life and it made me afraid to do anything. Now I think change is exciting and im not afraid of an adventure.

For example, I had thought about breaking up with my dumbass boyfriend for a long time but never did it because I was afraid. I dont know if I was afraid of regretting my decision, or afraid of being alone, or if I had any reason at all. But when my mom got really sick and almost died, my boyfriend just made it worse with his petty fights. My grades were slipping, I felt like I had hit the lowest point in my life and I was stuck and I didnt know what to do about it. Instead of crying, I smoked a big bowl and meditated on it. So the pot helped me calm down so I can think about the whole situation, reflect, and make a plan. It was then that I decided how I was going to break up with him and get my life on track in a direction I want to go in. Now Im about to graduate from college, and my grades are better than ever (got straight A's this quarter) all with the help of my herbal friend ;)

So, I go to school full time, work, and am a leader in the community. The only way I think I can get through it all is knowing that when I get home in the evening I can smoke a bowl and everything will be OK. God I love California... :)
 
Enlightened now.

I was once was lost but now am found - it will always be a big part of my life, but the way it has been is constantly changing.

When I first started blazing it became a tool to turn off the chatter and frget about childhood problems - just push them back into the darkness of my subconscious.

The past year I've been remembering how it didn't make my self confidence issues before any easier, and reconditioning myself when I'm stoned by hyping myself up in my head - it works - this auto-brainwashing.
NOW I'm going to use it to stop drinking so much alcohol, and also use it sparingly still, when I need to focus on a piece of art and I'm antsy.
