I'm not against smoking weed, but answer me this...

This is not meant to be a debate on whether weed should be legalized or anything even close to that realm, this is more of a question for those who smoke regularly.

My ex-gf (who I'm still 'seeing') is a big pothead. I don't think weed is on the same level as say alcohol, but tell me if I'm wrong about this...

Every time she goes out, anywhere to do anything, she has to smoke before leaving the house. We could be going out with friends, whatever, she has to smoke. I don't have a problem with smoking weed, just like I don't have a problem with drinking alcohol, but I think it's important to moderate your usage of anything.

For example, if she liked to drink beer, that would be straight, but if she had to get hammered before she did anything, that would be an issue. I'm not comparing weed to alcohol, per se, just the excessive usage of anything. Know what I mean?

Can anyone shed some light on this?

 

What is there to shed light on?
Sounds like she has a problem.
Anything can become a problem.

 

I'd say it sorta depends.

Some people smoke weed like it's tobacco and it works for them. If they have the money to do it, and it doesn't get in the way of shit; I guess it's not terrible.

Definitely not good, but I can't say how bad it is.

 

BUTT people smoke tobacco everywhere, everday, doing everything.. ever move furniture with your dad and hes smoking tobacco and the smoke is getting in his eyes, hes coughing yelling like its your fault the shit is to big to move, bumping into shit.. Shit I wouldnt mind moving stuff if it was some BUD and we was both getting high and laughing. But all tobacco does is raise your blood pressure, knock the wind out of you and piss you off..

 

smoking weed to be able to deal with all the people that don't smoke weed is a lot less horrible than drinking all the time. A lot of people can handle themselves on weed, but if they can't that's when it becomes a problem. I smoke weed all day every day because I like it and it doesn't hinder me from doing shit, but if it did I'd quit

 

i like to smoke some weed before i go out and do most things too. guess that makes us both potheads

 

no, that has never happened to me.

 

that exact thing has happened to me

 

Yea, as long as it doesn't get in the way of stuff, no worries.. It's different for everyone, some people function better if they are high. I smoke every day as well, not saying this is a good thing, but it doesn't get in the way of anything important, so there's no real harm being done.

However, I'm sure if I moderated myself, I could get much more out of my time, and not just veg out and be stoned.

 

when you get in the habit of doing any drug constantly, from weed up to heroin, you start to feel like shit if you're not on the drug.

i smoke basically everyday. when i don't, i'm mildly nauseous. not to the point that i can't function or anything, but if i were going to go out and have fun i'd rather feel good when i'm doing it.

 

When I have weed, I make sure to smoke before I go somewhere, everytime I go somewhere. In fact, when I have weed, I'm stoned constantly until I don't have weed anymore. lol It's just how some potheads are. As long as she's not getting blazed out of her skull everytime and letting it negatively interfere with more important things, then I don't see the problem.

 

I think a lot of stoners smoke before they go out and do anything. Pretty much all my friends that smoke do this. I don't really think its a big deal if its not interfering with anything.

 

Sounds like your gf lacks motivation.

It's important to find something to help us feel motivated in life, whether it's a sport, doing meditation or feeling good about ourselves by dancing to music. It can be problematic what she is currently doing, and I would think that yes, she is in the beginning stages of having a problem if she can't function without weed.

Listen to her feelings when you ask her why she's using it.

 

Im not against water or nothing. But I hate going out with someone and they always need to get a drink of water....

the answer is 42./

 

I don't think it's a matter of motivation. I think she just realizes that being stoned is better than not being stoned

 

and what's with these people that go to the bathroom every damn day?

 

if she lacked motivation, she wouldn't bother to smoke all the weed OP says she does.

 

It enhances all experiences, so I smoke as often as possible, too.

 

Good point.

Also, weed has always made me more motivated, if anything. I got better grades in school when I was stoned, because I actually took the time to do the work. When I wasn't stoned, I was too lazy to do any of it and I couldn't concentrate. lol

 

yes..there is nothing in the world that weed cant make better...a funeral...a wedding....a court date....a medical appt.....school.....job.......driving,walking,skiing,biking,hiking,fucking,sucking,licking,eating,drinking,pooping....
