that list is kinda fucked up though because anyone with a MMJ card is going to answer yes to at least half of those

 

That depends. I use it as medicine (osteoarthritis) as well as recreation. Over the 30+ years it's varied widely. At one point in my youth I smoked far more than I do now. These days it can vary from under a gram to over an eighth on any given day. Most of the time I smoke with my wife or friends. On Sunday's I wake and bake usually. Most days I take care of business first unless I'm having bad pain.

My point is that it's not a problem. It's never caused me any difficulties or issues. I've had successful careers, I'm happily married, raised a wonderful child to adulthood, and have all around been quite successful at life.

It's never caused me to lose motivation. I've never had health issues from it (my last checkup I scored 110% on a lung function test). I've never let it be the center of my life, even when I was doing heavy duty mass production grows. It's just a part of my life and has been for a long time.

I never did understand people who use drugs to 'escape'. It doesn't make any problems any better. I prefer to tackle life's problems head on the old fashioned way, not run away from them.

 

im sorry I apoligize
i wasnt aiming this at you im just sick of threads where thier are people blameing their problems on weed.

and as for quiting i recently quit no problem to open my p.u.f.m.m. chapter.

so yes it was easy for me and my girlfriend to quit

cause as you know florida has the toughest crimes and actually doing something about prohibition makes me a big target for raiding.

if you use it to mask problems thats youre thing man(or anyones elses).but truthfully i do think anyone blameing problems on a plant is immature.

sorry no dice.

(im not trying to attack you just saying.)
(and as for medication i would prefer if givin the option to use marijuana over any of the prescription poisen these companies create so i agree their)

 

1. Never
2. Of course.
3. Yes, I can. It's pretty bleak.
4. No, however, I tend to be close to people I blaze with. I don't drink either, so that's kind of puts a damper on hanging out with "normal people".
5. No, I smoke Cannabis while avoiding my problems on my own, haha. Seriously, if something is a problem, you deal with it.
6. No, excepting when I'm angry. Cannabis calms you down wonderfully.
7. I wish it did.
8. Nope. I don't make stupid promises.
9. When I'm very high, yes, obviously it does. Not at baseline.

I like what you got going here my dude, you are diagnosing yourself and trying to figure out what works for you an what doesn't. You are troubleshooting in your own life. That is the key to a successful person in my mind, Keep the things in your life that work and ix the things in your life that don't in order to increase your chance for success.

If you wouldn't mind answering this question, I would like to hear the answer as well. I'm 20 years old. I have smoked for probably about 6 years. I know more about tree than squirrel. I love weed, but finding "the right place" in my life for it, is sometimes difficult. You seem to have some success with incorporating it into a fairly successful (normal) life. (I've read the story you wrote in w/e section it was, enjoyed it thoroughly) I am hoping your answer to the above question (should you choose to give it, may shed some light on appropriation). If you don't feel like addressing it though, no sweat.

 

1. Has smoking pot stopped being fun?
Never, I've always enjoyed it
2. Do you ever get high alone?
Yes
3. Is it hard for you to imagine a life without marijuana?
Kind of, Ive lived without it, and I go without it from time to time, but I would definitely not be happy if I had to live the rest of my life without it (been about 2 weeks since I last toked up...its about time to resume haha)
4. Do you find that your friends are determined by your marijuana use
Not at all, many of my friends actually condemn it
?5. Do you smoke marijuana to avoid dealing with your pr...oblems?
not to avoid them, MAYBE to cope with them
6. Do you smoke pot to cope with your feelings?
sometimes, less than half the time
7. Does your marijuana use let you live in a privately defined world?
In a way...but not really, I dont limit myself to living in one world or another....I try to be as versatile and live in as many worlds as possible, though when I smoke alone, I end up in my own privately defined one
8. Have you ever failed to keep promises you made about cutting down or controlling your dope smoking?
never made too many promises, but I dont let it interfere with the rest of my life
9. Has marijuana caused problems with memory, concentration, or motivation?
maybe with memory while I'm high...but it helps me concentrate in a way (I'm ADD) so if anything, it has helped me...doesnt affect my motivation
10. When your stash is nearly empty, do you feel anxious or worried about how to get more?
nope, I usually know where to find it And its no big deal if I cant
11. Do you plan your life around your marijuana use?
no, the two coexist and sometimes are intertwined, neither revolves around the other
12. Have friends or relatives ever complained that your pot smoking is damaging your relationship with them?”
not really, I've had friends who majorly disagree with the concept of blazing, but I just stay sober around them, or play off being high ...It has never been a problem so far as I can tell

 

1. Has smoking pot stopped being fun?
No

2. Do you ever get high alone?
Yes

3. Is it hard for you to imagine a life without marijuana?

No, my best friend who is like a brother to me does not use the herb.

5. Do you smoke marijuana to avoid dealing with your pr...oblems?
Avoiding problems isn't really dealing with them, no.

6. Do you smoke pot to cope with your feelings?
Yes, it does help when I feel depressed.

7. Does your marijuana use let you live in a privately defined world?
No

8. Have you ever failed to keep promises you made about cutting down or controlling your dope smoking?
No, my amount of usage slowly increased for the first 5 years I started using the herb and it hasn't changed hasn't changed at all within the past for over 5 years...Probably because I learned to budget my usage...

9. Has marijuana caused problems with memory, concentration, or motivation?
Yes, memory and all that jazz comes back if I take a break and all is well.

10. When your stash is nearly empty, do you feel anxious or worried about how to get more?
A little, only because it is my way of unwinding after work and with no stress relief I never feel fully relaxed till its time for bed. If it runs completely out I just have a few drinks instead.

11. Do you plan your life around your marijuana use?
No, that's pretty ridiculous.

These are the only ones I answered 'yes' to. I'm not 100% clear what the last one (7) means, but if it means that I'm living life to my own standards and not those set by other people - hell yes. But then again, that's not just due to marijuana use.
