I know how you feel. I was addicted to weed myself, spent all my mony on it. I'm dead broke right now, and lost alot of my friends because of my addiction.
But I got trough, my girlfriend supported me. She hated that I smoked, but still she stayed with me. So I gave it up for her. I didn't quit for myself, I felt good while smoking weed, it made me forget my problems and made my head stand still (my head always feels like exploding, coz I have a heavy concentration disorder)
Now my head is still exploding, exept when I'm with her. Then it just comes.. still again..
She's my weed now
Oh, and we're almost a year together

just a thought

I love, love, love my stoner boy. I'm the "good" girl. Never touched alcohol until I was 18. Then I met him, and he was so different than anything I've ever known. I know he smokes, but he respects me. Never has done it around me, or whenever he knows he's seeing me.
The scary thing is, this sounds like my boyfriend. But I KNOW he didn't write this... because he hasn't had internet in God knows how long. But still, I can hope.

Now this is a good damn reason to stop smoking pot!!! 
I hate it when people say that smoking pot is so wrong and bad and will destroy our life, when they don't even know its effects. You don't need to smoke it to know, just inform yourself better. What about the ten times worse nicotine and twenty times worse alcohol? Ooohh... sorry, you're right, they do worse but they are legal... stupid me....
Pot isn't vicious by itself, and makes no harm if not heavy smoked and done properly.
But when it becomes a routine, when it becomes part of our day to day and you can't imagine a week without it, then something is wrong. I smoke weed, but occasionally and without tobacco (I recently stopped smoking tobacco). Alcohol will go next. And then I'll only smoke pot. It helps me with anxiety and other stuff.
But in cases like yours, ST, if it messes with your life, if you can't control it but it almost controls you, then you made the right move. Marijuana is a bit psychologically addictive but not physically like nicotine and alcohol so don't start smoking cigarettes and drinking to compensate it ok?
Congrats and above all, be happy!

This is why I wish I could fav comments. Very well said.
I'm one of those who smokes pot, smokes cigarettes, and drinks alcohol xD But I can go without any of them without being all "NICOTINEPOTALCOHOLIC RAEG!" and the people who do kinda freak me out lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahahah, it freaked me out too, a lot!
But as soon as you drop cigarettes and overcome the hangover, you'll feel heavenly.
The alcohol, well, I can drink almost as much as an alcoholic without being tipsy (I have a damn good liver) so I realize that, the more you can take, the more chances you have of being an alcoholic. So I had to drop it or live with it all my, eventually short, life.
It's not a question of becoming a saint, but rather to REALLY KNOW were your limits are and what has no kind of beneficial properties for you.
I love to smoke a cigarette but if I can't stop smoking it, than the tobacco company gets another "sucker"... I wont make them rich while they do poison in paper tubes: a pack of cigarettes in a soup kills everyone at the table that eats it. Interesting isn't it?

You phrased how to deal with that situation better than anyone I have ever heard.
... and I phrased that terribly. x_X
But, thank you. :3

Everybody's brain (
And that chocolate also has neurotransmitters, like dopamine and serotonin, that the brain produces also by itself when you're in love and that it can be more addictive than cannabis when consumed heavily?!

Haha, I actually did know that. n_n Both of my psych teachers thought it would be a good idea to tell us those little facts.
But yeah. It made me happy to see someone who knows what they're talking about... I got exposed to the whole drug culture thing in high school, and while I never did it, a lot of my friends got really absorbed in it. It became something they had to do every day or they'd get snippy and upset easily.
So when I see someone who knows how controlling it can be... I have a little more faith in people. :3

Ahaha thank YOU!
I like to inform myself. Talk of what you know, or shut up, that's one of my mottoes. And drug effects, history, development and persecution interests me a lot!

Maybe you should say it to him!

Well, there is something as too much for everything... (wow... hard sentence...
Let me see, I think I'll open my heart right here.
So, I used to smoke too much, of anything I could put my hands on. And of course, I had to drink to keep my mouth moisturize... Beer was my favourite back then. I used to wake up at 6 am, get to university by 8 am, get out at 3 pm to a very beautiful garden in Lisbon, smoked 5 cigarettes and 30 splifs while drinking 2 liters of beer, get my ass moving by 7pm to have dinner at 8pm, go work at night until 2 am. And then another day would start.
At some point I realized I could not remember of the last 3 months, cause I was always fucked up and because all the days looked the same, like they had fused in my mind or something.
Anyway, modesty apart, I'm an intelligent guy, I like to inform myself the best I can of everything that interests me. So I know allot about the effects and counter-effects of many many drugs and only experiment with the ones I feel are the safest. So I knew that something like that would eventually happen. But only then I realized how serious it was and how soon had arrived. So I stopped drinking, and smoking pot and got the worst hangovers in my life because of the deprivation.
I only smoke weed in social events, not more than 8 times a month. I only drink red wine at dinner parties and the occasional whiskey. So I'm pretty much clean.
All this to tell you ST, that you did good, and for you Tess to tell your brother.
Ask him if he remembers what he had for dinner last Sunday, or with whom he was with. Or if he has the will to stop smoking for one week (7 days). "Only one week, come on, are you that addicted?" 
He will notice the difference between a normal day and without a doubt after 4 days the hangover will make him think if he could ever stop smoking it. But the best part is, after that week, he will smoke and it will taste heavenly, and maybe, just maybe, he will realize like I did, that making it occasional will make weed taste waaaaayyyy better
And I say this: BETTER WEED EVERYDAY, THAN NICOTINE AND ALCOHOL!!!!
Some one once said to me," Don't try to save the world or everyone around you". Well, I'm not doing it actively, but I can't stop trying

I bloody know how you feel.
I went from 'bout 3g of weed a day (about 5-6 heavy spliffs) to 1 each month/2 months.
I felt shitty in the beginning, because pot was my way of dealing with things. It got my mind of my troubles, made me calm, more creative and able to ignore the shit that happend around me.
But now I realize, that I just tought that it did all that. I was doing that myself, not the spliffs.
Sounds easy to realize that, but when you're addicted, it's not.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You did good friend! That was my way of dealing with shit too.
But that isn't quite true.
Weed, or anything with THC active principle, makes you relaxed, creative and calm. But also, if you get absorbed by it and by the routine around it, you will become self-centred, oblivious to the reality around you and of those that don't smoke. Actually, that isn't a bad thing if we think about it, cause if everyone smoked it just a little, the world would be a better place.
So it isn't only yourself, but the THC boosts things. You just have to know were the limits are and what do you want for yourself

True, and that's why I didn't quit fully,
I just lowered my use.. ALOT xD
And I feel better now
Every time I have a really bad anxiety attack or when my head is about to explode due to my concentration disorder, I smoke one, and then it's better
but that's not often. Other times I just smoke them for fun with my friends
but as already said, alot less then I used to
I'm happier, my girlfriends happier and that makes me happier again xD

He... has been like this for three years now. To be fair, it used to be a lot worse, but he still lies to us about smoking weed. He smokes it a lot, and not just during social events. I have caught him smoking by the window in his bedroom for god knows how many times... but I can't talk to him. And I'm not the one to fix things. He doesn't listen to our mother, letalone his little sister.

you have no idea how much empathy i have for you.
i wish i could say it gets better with time, and i hope for both of us and for our brothers that it one day will.

Thank you very much... I hope so too, for the sake of our brothers.

Well, my sister also tried to reason with me, and even with an healthy trusting relationship, I didn't listen either. Not because I didn't know she was right, but rather because I had no alternative way of feeling better at the moment, and sure as hell I wouldn't take pills...
Try to find out why he smokes it so heavily, but by him directly or he could get angry at you if he found out you were asking about his personal life.
