Is smoking once a day any bad?

I've been smoking once a day for about a year now and I think I'm addicted. I try to tell myself I'll go a week without smoking, but after a day or two, it's back to just smoking a small bowl. My friends tell me that I'm not a heavy smoker because once a day is nothing compared to people who are high 24/7 for months. I guess that's true in a way, but whenever I've been getting high recently I've been super paranoid getting premonitions that I'm gonna die of Lung cancer from the smoke, etc. I don't smoke cigarettes and people always say that smoking weed is a lot healthier than smoking cigarettes. and I always read nothing but good benefits about smoking weed so for the past year I've always been telling myself "It's my medicine for my back pain" (I have slight scoliosis and was prescribed pain killers from a doctor, but instead of that i smoke weed daily to help it). so yeah what do you guys think is smoking once a day no big deal or how do you guys feel about what we do to our bodies by smoking weed everyday?

 

Why do you think you are addicted? At worst, weed is psycologically addicting, but not physical... Like video game addiction, it all in your head.

Anyways, anything is bad for you at some point. If you are that worried about it, then quit. IMO, smoking once a day is not worse than taking pain meds daily. There have been studies that show that mj actually stops cancer cell growth, and protects brain cells from damage during bing drinking and stroke.

If you are worried about the smoke, make edibles...

 

My dad said he smoked weed for like 15 years in a row. He's still norm.... Wait...

Quit now.

 

smoking once a day really isnt all that bad, but if your starting to feel that its taking over your life and you dont enjoy it try taking a break and finding a hobby or something to occupy your time.

 

I have been smoking everyday for the past 5 years
I’m hooked.. I get grumpy, tired and can't eat, when i go without.

However it sooths my anxiety and at least im not on an alcoholic like my mother, auntie, grandmother. My sister takes antidepressants i smoke weed.. thats my excuse.

I work a full time job in the government and have a family to look after, have doen that for the past 3 years.. Smoking weed helps in areas and hinders in others.

I did get a bit paranoid about swine flu, and didn't smoke as much when i felt a cold coming on.

 

try many times a day for 35 years...i dont have cancer[yet]or breathing problems on any serious level....fat people breathe harder than me....

the down side is i probably smoked the equivalent of at least one nice house[i rent]

i smoked at 6 am when i woke and number 2 is waiting on my table for after breakfast

 

Well, it isn't GOOD. If you feel addicted...if you can't imagine your life without being high. Does it seem boring and pointless?

 

keep in mind everyone answering you here including me are speaking with their own experiences in mind.. everyone is different..

i was smoking daily for a couple months in a row and decided for a couple reasons that it was time to take a break.. i smoked maybe twice in the past month, it's been at least 2-3 weeks since i did. i feel great. i let go of the attachments i had to mj and the role it was playing in my life.. and when i feel it's the right time i will let her back into my life.

i guess my advice to you is if you feel a tinge of addiction or whatever you'd like to call it, then try giving away your stash to some buds as a gift and enjoy the journey eace:

edit: forgot to add.. many of my anxieties have disappeared since going on this break.. i am much more at ease.

 

I smoke on average 3 grams a day... as soon as I mix say one smoke daily i start coughing up brown shit. thats enough for me to believe that weed is pretty harmless on its own. Although i do believe I'm fairly (psychologically) addicted, If i dont smoke at night ill toss and turn for hours, if I dont wake and bake I have barely ANY motivation to wake up, ect. although this all dissapears within one or two days cold turkey.

 

I have scoliosis too I had to wear a brace as a kid and had 2 surgery’s, I get awful muscle spasms, I smoke pot also to help with the pain, I don’t think smoking pot once a day is a bad thing, if you are getting paranoid, maybe you need to take some time off, if it’s getting worse the feeling paranoid

 

In all honesty though, yes it is a bad to a degree...

Inhaling hot smoke of any kind is sure to cause damage after a while... It's common sense..

All the more reason for me to save up for a vaporizer.... Hmm....

 

Getting high everyday is bad if it negatively affects your life. If the only negatives you have from getting high everyday is paranoia about your health after smoking, try eating or vaporizing it.

 

Yeah i used to smoke hash 15 times a day for 3 years. I feel fine. After smoking one cig my throat feels way more fucked from just one cig compared to the thousands of times i deeply inhaled weed.

 

I've been smoking myself almost daily for the last three years.

I cannot say that it is very bad but it has its downsides for sure.
good things are that relaxes you,opens your appetite,works as a painkiller for muscle pain,makes alot of stuff fun,"opens"your senses and many other funny stuff!

Bad stuff are that it makes me kinda slow and unmotivated and i can see that more when I quit. and ofcourse MONEY!! so much money! im spending about 100$ a week and some periods of the year like summer or holidays it goes up to 250$ a week.lots of cash!!

but now that the weather is cold and i dont have work in the morning, i wake and bake,shower bake again,bake food,bake my brain etc....

btw why all us the stoners that smoke 24/7 are from ontario or somewhere close here?
lol :cheers2:

 

$250/ week for WEED?!??! Holy shit you need to be growing. Even $100/week is pretty fucking high.

 

I was just about to say that, but I "vape" mids and I know the vaporizer saves me alot, if I'm not partying with friends I probably spend close to 50$ maybe 80$ depending on mood/paycheck

 

Yeah I'm thinking about investing in a cheap vaporizer to cut out all the smoke. That's the only thing I get paranoid about when I'm High I'm sittin there like "Damn I am stoned....and my chest feels like it's damaged from those deep gravity rips"
I've always wanted to try eating, but i think its too costly.. because i read that you have to use a whole 8th to bake with. luckily with my daily smoking I still am able to preserve a lot. I split an 8th with my GF and we go through it in about 4 weeks.

 

.

 

Then you are way paranoid haha. I smoke cigarettes and smoke/vape about an 8th a week, and I only sometimes get paranoid about my health (even though I should probably be more concerned, I've smoked cigs since I was 16-17). I am actually quitting cigs this week though, because I know like my grandpa, I will get lung cancer if I don't. It seems disease and shit like that always skips a generation, so fuck cigarettes before they kill me. I just bought some Nicorette gum to help me along.

 

good luck
