    I know the answer is fairly obvious as many people use marijuana to escape the stress of everyday life but has anybody/does anybody use marijuana to escape from more serious problems?
     
    Me and my sister both started at simular times without the other knowing soon after our Dad passed away, it helped.

    I tried to use that way for my anxiety awhile back but it ended up making things worse. Haven't gotten high in 2 months

    Yes I use the green goddess to escape but that's not gonna be popular here.  And when dealing with a death I think lots of ,maybe questionable, behavior is acceptable. Like smoking to escape the pain of a loss I understand I lost my father  awhile back.  As long as your use doesn't interfere with your daily living your ok.  An altered state of mind is akin to thirst, sex ,and hunger it's not uncommon for it to be a coping mech..

    Sometimes i use it to relieve me of my worries and problems. Using it to escape reality is where you run into trouble. If you're using it to get through and understand some hard times that's wonderful. If you're smoking to simply forget or feel "better" you probably have a problem.

    Somewhat. The only real problem I ever seem to face is being sober. Nothing else in life seems to have really bothered me for a long time. Is it because I'm usually high? Maybe. So perhaps I use drugs as a proactive stress reliever unintentionally.

    I use it to stave off PTSD

    Do you mind me asking what the trauma was?

    I was using it increasingly a year back to help cope with my anxiety, it helped but not completely. However I worked on resolving some things in my life and now I couldn't be better.

    By to escape problems, you mean get high and fully think through those problems, realizing it isn't as bad as it first appeared and that I will survive, then yes, I do.  Other than that, it can't really be an escape for me.  To me, you need to change mindsets to escape.  Weed doesn't cause me to change my mindset.  I get high and you couldn't tell the difference from sober.

    I laughed when I read Justin Timberlake, who I am no big fanboy of btw, smokes for the exact same reason I do to stop thinking.

    I bought quite a bit when my Uncle died, but it wasn't necessarily escaping from it, it was just using Cannabis to ease the trauma. It helped in the end I think, it made me feel more positive about it all in a way. I can't recall using it to escape something, but I might have done in the past.

    Im glad I read this forum. I recently started working a retail job and realized I cant go to work blowed. Also I realized that my muscles locked up if I got to upset. So I talk with a doc and got 0.25 mg's of alprazolam which is a generic xanax but just enough to help not enought to get fucked up. Still Id rather smoke some dank and relax my muscle. LoL :blink:
