This may have nothing to do with the subject, but this post made me think of it.

We don't smoke bud to deal with our problems; if you do, you have a problem. During the day when we're not stoned, we dont freak out because we're not stoned, we may freak out if we think too hard about it tho.

seriously, its not that you NEED to smoke, it just makes boring times a little better. You can always find something to do when your stoned. It makes the jobs you may have pass a little faster (personally, i can focus way better when im stoned, even after taking a tolerance break and im all clean of thc).
Good times and the bad, it always makes them better when you can come home, sit down and clear your head with a bowl, calm down, relax a few... and then that your not all anxious and aching, you can think of a real way to deal with any problems u might have
