Need help evaluating my marijuana use

OK so I know I don't have many posts, and I'm not sure if your suppose to post in this forum with little posts but I would say I am a pretty seasoned toker lol.


Ok so not only recently but I've been trying to reevaluate my pot smoking. I recently thought about it because two fridays ago again I got paid and bought an ounce for 240 and week through it in a week and 4 days. I dont usually smoke this much because I don't usually buy ounces at a time but I thought about since technically its cheaper but because I smoked it so fast not really worth it. Usually I smoke an 8th in 2 day, 3 max sometimes a day, deff could smoke in one depending on what im doing.

The thing is however weed isn't really negatively affecting my life. Like I'm going to be a junior in college and this summer Im just working at restaurant and with all my pot smoking sessions on job and drinking on the job, I still managed to be best employee and got promoted to manager. So its not like im shirking responsibilities or anything. And during last semester got a 3.3 gpa which is ok especially for all the drugs I was doing, lots more besides pot lol. So weed is not actively ruining my life and i seem to have all my shit together.


Only real big downside is amount of money im spending dont get paid much about 600 (every two weeks varies though) when i bought ounce and within that period before next paycheck i deff spent at least 300 on weed. So it is a large percent of money but since I live at home I don't really have any real expenses and I still save a good amount of money because weed, alcohol and cigs like only things i really spend money on. I live with parents so I dont have rent or anything and my money is usually just spending money, and money to save for school.


So I'm trying to decide if I smoke too much, I do think it is a habit now and some people would maybe call me addicted, but it isn't ruining my life and Im doing fairly well in my life. The thing is though that I've been thinking their are functional alcoholics and thats still bad or not the best at least. I've also tried to cut down or quit many times and I haven't been able to which I guess is kinda a red flag but I didn't worry too much cause me smoking never really hurt me besides the wallet lol. What do you guys think is an ounce in a week in 4 days too much weed, or even though my life seems ok is that not enough justification to continue my habit. And if I have repeatedly tried to cut down or quit and failed does it mean I have a problem. I realize this is hella long, but I really just wanted people's opinions because I can't view situational unbiased I love weed so no matter what Im going to find a reason that its chill to smoke as much as I do. Also I don't know if this really matters but i think my family has history of addiction and I can deff see my self maybe addicted or on road to addiction for other substances. Thanks for replies in advance, sorry if wrong forum also.

 

Thanks for the reply, I took your advice and tried to divide into paragraphs that made sense I think this should be better. Thanks for your tip also, and yea I can kinda tell I spend too much money on weed, but it isnt always like this. for certain reasons a lot the time I smoke this much but for free, not rn though and not until september again earliest but probably not anway. I guess my real concern is, is it a problem that even if weed isn't ruining my life and im doing well with the amount I'm smoking I can't really stop smking pot or at least failed in the past and it would be very hard. think

 

Thanks for the advice and I know personally how bad alcohol can be lol. With me I have a much greater chance of fucking up drunk when nothing ever bad really happens stoned. Thing is alcohol is deff worse but im much less addicted to it then weed, like alcohol not for a while no problem but not weed and we got an issue lol. Anyway Im trying to limit all my subtances rn.

Thanks for the comment and yea it is a lot, which is why im trying to stop. I think it was easy to justify because i don't have any expenses, like im not missing rent to buy weed lol but I think deep done I know its too much. The funny thing is after you guys said this I smoked around 3 blunts total yesterday and really thought to myself. I figured I had to at least go a week without it to prove it to myself. Funny cause I've had this idea high a lot and say yea im gonna change something but never end up doing anything. But I think this time its different, going to smoke one last bowl rn actually.
