I’ve been smoking weed half my life, though in the past 5-6 years it definitely increased now that i work at home. I also used to sell it so I would always have a decent amount on me.

It started to feel more like a compulsion instead of just getting high. I would pack the bong and smoke it and be like, “why did i do that”. Plus my tolerance is way too high, Ill rip an infused joint and not feel much, making me question myself more.

I don’t drink much. Ill get a 6 pack every other month maybe and then when it’s gone i don’t get more for awhile. So i decided to test myself: I just wasn’t going to buy weed when I ran out. I was going to try and treat it like a 6 pack. It’s been 5 days no weed which is probably the longest break I’ve had in a decade.

Anyways if i can do it you can too, and i appreciate your support. Love you Hexes.

    I appreciate the post as i find myself compulsively smoking as well. I’ve never had a problem with drinking alcohol and in fact I don’t think I’ve drank since 2 new years eves ago.

    That being said it’s typically also a compulsion when i pull into one of the 10 weed stores between my home and any jobsite I’m headed to. Plus the two government run weed stores within a 20 minute walk anywhere in my town.

    Proud of you for cutting back

      i should say I am still eating weed gummies, but those don’t do the same thing to me. I do want to take it like a medicine still, hoping it helps keep cancer away. I only have two dispensaries but one opened that is on my way to most stores I go to and that didn’t help at all.
