How often do you smoke?

Hi,
Is there a large percentage of smokers who only burn every once in a while (like weekly or monthly), or do most pot smokers partake every day? What's your experience.

I'm a fairly recent smoker (began smoking in the last 4 months). I'll smoke once a week or so... just to have a "change of state" so to speak. I enjoy it because it makes me creative in new and interesting ways, and... well, I guess I I don't need to preach to the choir here, you guys know why its fun.

I would like to know how many of you smoke every day and how many keep it to once or twice a week or less. Also, did any of you start out wanting to smoke only once in a while and now find yourself burning everyday.

Basically, I really enjoy smoking now and again, but I'm a little worried about reports I've heard that cannabis is psychologically addictive. I know its not physically addictive. While I enjoy it, I don't want to be high everyday. I don't even want to be tempted to be high everyday.

From experience I acknowledge that weed is psychologically addictive.. but it won't take over your life unless it's the only thing you have left to live for

as for me.. I smoke when I can afford it.. totally ruled by cash.. so usually once/twice a week

almost anything you do can be psychologically addictive.

sex. food. sleep. t.v. sex. anything.

anything in excess is bad for you.

but, i just like feeling good throughout the day so I smoke in small amounts all day. as long i keep working out and eating right, i'll be healthy:thumbsup:

besides, I don't need to be high. I'm perfectly fine wit not smoking at all for as long as it takes. I control my reality, not some herb

That's a very good point :thumbsup:

Sure weed can be psychologically addictive.. but so can every other damn thing in existance..

Usually i would just have a couple of joints for the weekend. But as it's been so boring at work lately, i need the THC to get me through it. Because believe me, when your job consists of standing around all day doing absolutely nothing, it can be very depressing and make one feel very ill!

Twice a week on average although "him indoors " does one most days.
I like to chill mid week and then get horny on a Saturday night............hash and sex and baaaaaaaaaaad movies. Game on

I smoke everyday but only right before it gets dark out. Id rather be sober in the day so i dont have to be paranoid about getting caught. And I dont like being stoned trying to work or doing something complicated.

once or twice a week for me.

Only a couple of times a month usually. Too many responsibilities, got to be level-headed most of the time. If I get a stretch where I can toke 2 or 3 times in a week, that's heaven!

when i feel like it or when im stressed which is rarely more than once a week. I like to keep my tolerance vry low, makes my bud last.

i smoke every day.

everyday. usually 2 blunts or 4 bowls

every day, but not too much...1 to 3 bowls.

well, my past 1 1/2 years with mary jane have been pretty up and down.

i started out at like once every one or two weeks

then i started buying my own directly from the dealer (was goin through my friend for awhile) so i bumped it up to once or twice a week

then i started buying larger quantities (mostly 1/8's at a time) so it was like 3 or 4 times a week

and then i moved up to pretty much every day (on average at least) and sometimes 2-3 times a day, depending where i was at the time, and how much i had on me.

so, i guess, on average, it probably comes out to like 1.5 times a day or something.

but i'm taking a break for awhile. mainly because i was constantly broke and i now need to save up for a ticket to the Warped Tour. but also because i realized i WAS addicted to marijuana (just mentally, though. i know that physical addiction to mj is impossible...duh! lol) so i just need to get my shit back together before i start up again.

gah, is it just me or did just like type my whole damn life story or something? lol

5 years ago in HS [end of freshman year], was smoking about once or twice a week average when I started, give or take a couple days. I've never really been one of those 'I need a stash to smoke by myself everyday' kind of people, but I have gone through months of smoking everyday at different points, especially first year staying in a dorm. Never been on a pinpoint schedule.

Now I've come to the point that I like to partake maybe once a month...usually for a few days in a row, then I'll be done for another month. At least that's the way it's been all of this year and most of last year. I dunno what it is, I used to really look forward to smoking, but now it's just not my favorite thing anymore. I honestly wish I liked to smoke like I used to lol. Also, now I don't like to get extremely ripped like I used to...well maybe if I'm by chance by myself, but if I'm at a friend's or with people, I only take a few hits to get a slight high.

I honestly question myself...I see people here and a shitload of people I know still with their love for the herb, and while I do have the love, it's just not the same...and I'm only 20, so it's not age. I think sometimes it could be that I just grew out of it, but some of my best friend's still smoke multiple times a day...and I have no problem going to a friend's house and not smoking when there's a few blunts being passed. I dunno...it's just strange.

I started off smoking occasionally, then a couple of times a week, and now it's whenever I can get my hands on it.

Thanks for the response man. I don't think its strange to not want to smoke everyday, or even every few days. In fact, I'm beginning to think its healthy. I mean, not many people would think its good to drink a couple shots of whiskey 2-3 times a day. Marijuana won't blow out your liver, but still... what are you trying to hide from if you need to smoke everyday.

That's not to say people who smoke everyday are hiding from something. But for me, I'd rather keep my "daily" activities to things I know are productive (exercise, reading, etc.) and keep my drug use to a few beers with the guys on the weekend, or a splif now and again, etc.

I also won't drink coffee every morning, because I don't like the idea of depending on a chemical or even getting used to wanting a chemical every day. There certainly are plenty of healthy people who do take coffee everyday though... so I can't really judge anyone who smokes everyday. I'm just saying, for me, I think its good to limit smoking. Maybe you're the same way.

Good post as well, and this statement is how I've come to feel as well, even with weed unless medically. And I also pledge to people that it's healthy [even if I never smoked I would, not everyday, but at least here and there]. My friend who was kind of depressed, I got him smoking here and there [he never really liked it before], and he is now a pretty happy person.

I say it's strange, because I used to definitely have a habit for the weed, it was something I wouldn't mind doing at any given time...and made everything that much funner. But my interest has gone down in 5 years instead of up like most lol.

I know that for me at least, one of the reasons I've cut down so much has to do with social interaction. When I'm sober, I'm a very out-going person, and don't have a problem being the center of attention in any situation. But, nowadays when I get high, I get kind of quiet and would rather zone out than be involved in convo. And I love being the out-going one, so I think this is a big reason why I've personally slowed down, at least around a lot of people. I would rather drink beers with people, and if people are smoking, I'll take maybe a hit to make it a bit more interesting...but no more smoking til I pass out like I used to haha.

EVERYDAY.... more since moving to HOLLAND!!! :stoned:

All day everyday. Medicinally though. I start off with a beer and a joint for breakfast and keep going untill i go to bed. It's not harming me and i can afford it, so everyones winning.

sometimes i think not enough...lol

i like to smoke 3 to 4 times a day, but i dont like to be wasted....4 or 5 bowls a day, or 2 joints i guess....some days i dont smoke at all, or only 3 or 4 times in a week......

but dont get me twisted here....i can smoke some weed.....lol...i just dont as often anymore...dont even know why....oh well....

i started at 14, and bin smokin for 2 years now, first started as monthly,then weekyl, then every coup days, and now its like 3-4 times a day ahaha good days

Everynight.

Atleast once a day.

when i have it i smoke it but it depends how much i have. Some times ill do it one month every day or two weeks and not smoke for 2 months buh i luv smokin up

exactly....

I am now realizing that when I smoke a lot of weed it starts to affect my asthma in a bad way. I tend to have trouble breathing after I smoke. I no longer agree that cannabis is good for the asthma. Anyways I am going to smoke only on weekends after I take a break because I want my tolerance to go down big time..

When I have money I try to smoke everyday. Not a lot usually only a bowl or two on weekdays and then maybe 4-6 on weekends. No reason to smoke more than you need especially when you try to get the most out of your weed.

everyday, mostly at night cuz it helps me sleep, but i cant resist a wake n bake

i usually smoke on average 5 joints a day

seldom i wont have smoke

i wake and bake every day before work, i smoke half the joint befor bed and half befor i get up, it's the way forward man

Now that you mention that, I'm sort of the same way. If I smoke a lot in a session and get ripped to where my thoughts start not connecting normally and its hard to concentrate or follow complex ideas... I'm not very social for a few hours. But if I tone it down, get a little high, but stop before I'm blasted out of my mind, then I find that I'm more social then normal... its sort of like the effect a few beers has on me. I enjoy a certain amount of weed, but too much is just... well... too much.

i would say between 3 -4 bowls a day

1-3 bowls a day. Unless im with a friend, then i'll smoke alot more.

every night. theres NOTHING like planning a good night time sesh to unwind after the days done. i do smoke A LOT more however, with friends

I smoke as often as the thread starter.

I don't understand why you would want to be high so often, for me, it ruins the special feeling I get when i'm just about to light a bowl.

I don't want it to be a routine, I want it to be something I can look too when I need it. If I did it everyday i'm afraid it would get boring and I wouldn't be as fascinated and amazed as I am when I take those good 1-2 week breaks. :)

You all remember the fascination and amazement of your first real high, everything was awesome. That's why I don't do it all the time.

i tend to smoke maybe once or twice on the weekend but sometimes a weekend will go by where i won't. i don't really smoke on the school nights because i try to keep my mind clear, although it is fun to go to school still having a buzz from the night before lol.

i didn't smoke last weekend and this weekend i plan on being high for a majority of it since it'll be 2 weeks sinse my last.

i smoke half bowls throughout the day and usually match my friends with blunts at night.

it varies pretty often though. as of right now its been 4 days since the last time i smoked since i am on vacation and dont know anyone in florida.

Every day! If I don't toke that often, I get migraines! (can't work with a migraine!) Plus, I'm dang near 60! and the aches and pains of old age get to me if I don't toke! Every day, whenever I can, but never at work! - Granny:hippy:

I think I once went through an 8th of decent midis in about 2 days. My bowl holds around .5 grams, so thats 1.75 grams a day I did.

If great weed was not expensive, I would be high all damn day hands down, but The Man keeps me down and oppressed.

A conservative estimate of my smoking habits would be probably a little less than half of the month, so maybe about 12-15 days out of the month I smoke.

I know..its pathetic.

I got a question tho. I don't know exactly on when the THC would clear out of the system but if you take a month break and smoke up right afterwards, would the high be so strong like it would be the first time being stoned?
