I think the way to happiness is occupying yourself with something you like to do, Metaphor. By that I mean in the way of a job or hobby. Then to have good relationships, too. Sounds like you're almost using weed to numb out, and that's not the route to happiness.

To be honest, I think the concept of "happiness" itself is unrealistic anyway. I mean, no one's perfectly happy and blissful all the time, and I'm not sure we're meant to be. I do think it helps to feel like we have a reason to live, and then I think folks who're feeling basically good about themselves can exist in a place where they find happiness and fulfillment in what they're doing, who they're interacting with, and in little stuff like sunsets or pets or cars or books or whatever. Weed makes a nice complement to the little things for people who're using it as an "enhancer" rather than seeking a way to numb out on feelings of all kinds. Cannabis certainly isn't the beginning of the happiness supply chain. It's really just a tiny little link along the way.
