So, I love marijuana. I love to smoke it, I love being high, I pretty much enjoy everything about it. But it has become a habit that I think might be harming me. Now, I am all for the recreational and responsible use of cannabis, but I have slowly realized that I don't think that is something I can do. If I have any bud, I will smoke it even if its before work, after work. I will always want to smoke pot. Now most of the conversations I have been having with my friends revolve around pot, and I get anxious at night if I don't smoke before I go to sleep. This is also costing me a lot of money, I easily spend $100 a week on it, and I know this is only a quarter of really good bud, but if I could afford more I would buy it. Now I have been starting to make many decisions revolving around smoking weed, for example, should I go to my parents house for lunch on saturday, or get high? the choice is obvious. Now what I would like to achieve is to be able to smoke weed and not let it take over my life which i feel is beginning to happen. I almost feel like it makes me feel secure, like if I have a bag things are going to be ok, and when I don't have a bag I'm looking fore one (which definitely sounds fucked up to me). I have made this realization on my own and have not let it affect me with my work or girlfriend, and don't want it to. Well, I don't really know what to do, I think you guys get a feel for what I'm trying to say here. I'm sorry if this doesn't make a lot of sense because I have a very hard expressing myself through writing, especially on this subject for some reason. Any advice is appreciated.

hope everyone's christmas shopping is going better than mine!

on saturday, get high then go eat with your parents...Are you not capable of responsibly smoking and carrying on the tasks of a routinely normal day?? I feel the same way as you do, I love marijuana, it helps me so much, so I smoke it at all points of the day. I go to work, school, and come home...getting high at every point in the day..I still manage to do everything I need to do to be a productive individual...It's not a problem unless you choose to make it a problem..

..Regular marijuana use most certainly is far from abuse...
