hey everyone, ive been viewing these forums for a week or so and this is my first post. Ive found that more and more over the years ive become addicted to marijuana, but it doesnt affect my life. I dont want to stop but i find that everyone is treating me different because i now smoke 'drugs' and all i need is a little support. Im not a full on addict, i wont rob someone to smoke and i just like to do it when i come home from work to relax, plus i dont drink. Is it so wrong to ger high and ignore my family when i do so?

Yea, people do treat ya different when ya do stuff they're not used to.....sometimes some people need to get over what your doing, and some people need you to explain to them in a nice way why you do it and the fact they might need to try to not think about it. As long as it's not messing you life up, i see no reson to stop it, unless you want to quit for the people yu care about or the ones that care about u.

maybe you cant see that its affecting the relationships around you but i have to say i used to go out with a guy who was addicted to weed and i found it really difficult, just communicating and being a friend.
i dont know, i think your digging yourself to a hole, but you cant really stop untill you notice that,
if you wanna see life through stoned eyes, thats fine, but u'll probabaly not make much of it. -
In reply to:if you wanna see life through stoned eyes, thats fine, but u'll probabaly not make much of it. this is definatly not true! Ive been a 'stoner' for more than 5 years and i created a successful buisness. Saying you will not make much of your life because you get high is insanity.@ blade, there is nothing wrong with it man. Come visit a drug support and question site called When People Fly. A good place to learn more about drugs by people that use them.

Are you stoned when you're working? What kind of business is it?
-
No i dont smoke when im working, only late at night.I run a graphics company.
-
If its not affecting your life and your doing good. Not spending all your money on weed, not robbing people for weed... Whats the problem? Smoking only late at night? So after you have finished business for the day, you relax. Alot better then an evening drink.

An evening drink allegedly has a protective effect on the heart.

I actually heard something that all the benifits of red wine can be achieved just as easily through grape juice. I only smoke late at night now, I pretty much have to if I want to fall asleep, I have such bad fuckin insomnia that OTC products do nothing for me and I dont want to be taking the prescription sleep aids.

That's for a specific antioxidant. But there is evidence that a small amount of alcohol might be beneficial. A large amount is definitely not beneficial.

Don't feel so bad, I am an alcoholic and I don't want to stop either.

Would you drink on the job?
I didn't ask you and I didn't ask me; I asked the original poster. Some people claim that they do just fine while stoned. I went to college with some people who were stoned in class, and I've worked with a number of people who came to work drunk, or who drank on the job. At one place I worked, drinking was almost institutionalized.

I didn't understand that. Were you stoned when you typed that? Guessing at what you're getting at, the idea of alcohol, grapes, certain types of grapes, wine, red wine, grape juice, etc. keeps changing, but it appears that a glass of wine a day does no harm (or two glasses for men). Higher rates of alcohol consumption are correlated with increased rates of breast cancer and other problems. Alcohol, in larger quantities, is toxic to nerve cells. On the other hand, if there is nerve damage from marijuana, it seems to be temporary.

When you come down, if you really want references, let me know.
