Marijuana IS addictive if you have an addictive personality. You could have been addicted to alcohol or sleep aids. You could be addicted to anything else too.

Weed shouldn't be your life, it should be a insignificant part of it or a hobby. Growing weed should be considered the same as a gardening hobby, without much to do with weed.

Good for you Tim. It isn't for everyone and you got yourself away from something that was negatively affecting your life. It probably isn't the same for most people, but you are your own person. Life is too short and too big to spend in your basement smoking when there is a whole world out there.

Too much of anything is bad for you, even if it isn't physically bad for you. Think about that for awhile.
If I had to relate to anything in this thread it would be that. I found myself always going out to mainly get high with friends but after I was stoned I'd just eat then sleep. I always wantedd to use it just as an enhancement drug but then I found that i started to use it to enhance EVERYTHING so it just became an everyday/all day thing.

And then one day after a week of ssmoking I smoked for the first time and this was the very first time I realized that I've been wasting my life just smoking/eaating/sleeping all day. And from then on the trips would focus on all the negative things about me: no friends because that I'm ugly, that I'm not good enough..etc. All those my insecurities amplified and so the smoking decreased immensely.

I admit I started to get lazy and zombie like day after smoking. I wouldn't dress as nicely or socialize as well as I did sober. I definitely was able to socialize VERY well while high because of all my creative thoughts and the food was great! But for the most part, I thought it changed me personality wise and just whole new me over all.

So, now my mind is clearer, I only do it on special occasions, you know like in moderation, along with drinking. Its not longer a top priority for me in life just a tiny part of it.
