Hello! As you can tell I'm new to the sub, but I've been vaping weed for around a year and a half. about a month ago I realized that I started to get into the habit of doing it 5 nights or so a week. and keep in mind this came about really fast, as until about mid May I was barely using it (1 night a week or less) but then I realized that around mid June I was using it fairly frequently a week. about a month ago, I decided to stick to 3 nights a week, so I help myself to not develop a dependence on it. (I even downloaded an app to keep track of the nights)
I've come to find that I tend to plan out certain weeks for nights I'll smoke, and others it'll be impulsive but will fit into my 3 times a week schedual. one thing that I've noticed is that there are some nights in between smoking where I will want to do it, but I've already planned out my week so I end up not doing it. And when I realized that I can't do it that night, I kind of get a little disappointed because it makes my nights a little better, but then after watching some YouTube or playing a game I end up completely forgetting about it.
As a little more info regarding weed usage, there are sometimes where I do it with my friends, but whenever we hang out and don't do it, I never end up being disappointed and I end up still having a ton of fun and I don't even think about it. because I know that there are some people that absolutely need weed or alcohol to have fun, so just to get that clear I do not need weed to have fun
I don't know if this is some type of dependence, as I feel like there are some nights where I don't do it that I kind of get a little upset that I can't do it but it never gets to the point where I'm genuinely angry with myself for not doing it or like sad or anything. I just wanted to get your guys's opinion on it since I know for a fact I'm not the only person to think this.
And if you want my opinion on it, I don't think I'm dependent, but I think that I definitely have the possibility to be dependent on it, and I do show some signs of maybe minor dependence
EDIT: I don't think people that are commenting to me understand what I'm trying to get across, so just to clear things up:
- I ONLY smoke at night
- I use a cart from a dispo from a legal state, no street carts
- weed hasn't controlled how I feel throughout the day, and as I've said in the post I am fully able to control what nights I do and don't smoke.
- I don't understand why people are telling me to stop, I am asking for advice regarding my 3 night schedule and if 3 nights a week is too much
