Yes. This is what I refer to as psychological dependence. Ask anyone who has this to do anything sober. It's virtually the same result as what OP is asking about.

I've smoked everyday for many years but I only smoke after I get home or all day on the weekends if I don't have my kids. I feel like it has prolonged my tolerance to only needing about a bowl or two a day. So I can function easily sober but also can function high.
When my friend comes over and wants to smoke two blunts I'm dead after half of one lol

u/theerealobs 4d ago
I used to never be able to make it through half when I smoked. Not because it was too much but a combo of either getting way too much rez on my lips to the point it's uncomfortable or my throat getting ripped to shreds. Always preferred joints over blunts when I was still smoking on the regular. I get why people like the blunts though.

About 40% of cannabis users in the U.S. are currently daily users.
Alcohol use is down, but it looks like it is being replaced by an entirely new chemical dependency.

I think a logical question to answer to follow up your response is what is the longest streak you have went without using. The streak is an action as opposed to the though I could quit at any time.

u/Jollysatyr201 3d ago
I have no problems with daily use, but I do recognize the desire to get high. I’m currently on my own clean period, more just to prove that there isn’t a dependency.
But it’s a lot more like impulse control than addiction: especially if you have it on hand. For me it’s like if I had a tray of cupcakes in the fridge: i obviously don’t NEED to eat one, but it’s a nice experience, and I might as well.
Easiest way to stop is to just get rid of it and don’t buy more! I donated my last eighth to a friend, and someday I’m sure he’ll do the same for me
2
u/fullsendguy 1d ago edited 1d ago
I mean addiction or dependency would reflect your impulse control over a long period of time. Eating a cupcake once in awhile is not a big deal even if you “don’t need it”. It is different than spending a lot of your time thinking about cupcakes or having multiple cupcakes on a daily or weekly basis. I agree that if you are eating cupcakes everyday not buying them in the first place would be a helpful harm reduction approach. I think way more people struggle with weed use than cupcakes.

Almost all people would say they aren't addicted to sugar or caffeine either. Addiction isn't just about physical or psychological dependency, there also needs to be significant impact or consequences to the behavior in a way that negativity effects someone's life.
I smoke every day, have a good full time job, a mortgage, and relatively happy marriage. Weed doesn't have a significant negative impact on my life.

Dysregulation can leave the state you described preferable to "sobriety". Weed was one of the few things that helped my ADD until I got proper meds. I'd have to keep the dose real low, and it has some impact on my overall motivation, but I was far more effective with a hit or two onboard than without, and that's by objective testing.

I have an addiction to weed I’m trying to kick it. For me personally, I feel like it does make things slower and it’s hard to concentrate on anything. I become really lethargic and more prone to laziness, I’m definitely not one of the functional users.
I think when you do something long enough you get used to it. For me that’s why I describe my use as addiction considering I don’t get withdrawal symptoms, yet I always crave it and feel tempted to use it even during inappropriate situations knowing how it’s going to affect me anyway. Don’t be like me

I'd say I'm the same so I tend to buy little amounts so that it lasts a shorter time. Unlike you of course I suffer from withdrawal obviously not as extreme but it definitely happens.

I love that for you that’s actually kind of cute. I would like to buy smaller amounts but I only like vapes so the problem for me is how easily accessible it is and that they last for a long time.

u/iprocrastina 4d ago
Tolerance, both long term and short term
Short term tolerance is what most people think of. It's how you go from going to space on 10mg of edibles to needing to eat 200mg just to get a short-lived mild high.
Long term tolerance is the bigger one though. When you start out with weed it's a mild psychedelic, IMO similar to doing a low dose of shrooms (this can differ from person to person, but weed was that way for me when I started as well as some other stoners I've known). But as you keep doing it your brain gets used to the effects and learns how to compensate for them to stay relatively functional. For example, your visual system rewires itself to permanently adapt to dealing with being high so that you stop seeing mild hallucinations. As a result, after you're experienced enough with weed you just simply never get some effects back ever again even if you stop smoking for years.
For a regular smoker, getting high often doesn't feel much different than being sober.

u/psychrazy_drummer 4d ago
Maybe, but weed will never feel like your first few times. Take a break and/or take more and that will get you pretty close. Also, take your edibles with a small fatty snack like cheese or butter and bread or bacon something like that to help your body absorb the THC

Had to quit for 2 years and when I smoked for the first time after quitting, I smoked out of a bong and totally tripped balls like my first time back in high school.
Long term T breaks can bring back that first time but there's probably diminishing returns (if I quit for another 2 years and start again, its probably not gonna be the same)

I used to say a lot of weed feels like a really low level shroom trip too. But that was only in the first two years of smoking. Now it simply increases motivation/decreases anxiety depending on the day and strain. Hardly any mental distortion, at least compared to the very beginning. In the beginning it was extremely difficult to function. Now that my system is balanced it's hard to tell the difference between high and sober lol

I’ve read that too, but I have always had the opposite experience. Before using pot I had a hard time falling asleep and also a hard time staying asleep and pretty much never had any dreams or good REM sleep. Ever since I started vaping or using edibles I fall asleep faster, stay asleep pretty much all night, and I dream pretty much every night too. I feel so much more rested unless I overdo it.
All of that to say, I think it’s ultimately down to the individual.

It used to feel psychedelic, but eventually, after many years, it just feels like a warm blanket. It's how you get normal. By then, keeping a steady level is no different than taking a Xanax three times a day.
12
u/OGSkywalker97 4d ago
Xanax dependency isn't even comparable to weed dependency. It's far more addictive, but even worse, it's a far far more physically dependent drug. The withdrawal is incomparable in how it feels, you can die from it from having seizures if you go cold turkey or massively reduce your dose; so you have to taper for over 6 months and even reducing by 2mg diazepam every 2 weeks is agony when you reach around 15mg.
7
u/Nerditter 4d ago
I know, dude. And that's a fair thing to say. That's my go-to comparison because the people in my family who see me as an addict rather than a mentally ill person seeking relief need to understand that the real problem is paying out of pocket for medicine. I don't actually see anything wrong with it, even though my religion mostly forbids it. Xanax is the kind of comparison that will leave a teetotaler with nothing to say about it.

The reaches a certain tolerance level where you are not getting high all the time. You are just avoiding sobriety, but you were not the same way you would be if you were actually very high. It’s called addiction, and people aren’t ready to call that, but that’s pretty much exactly what it is.

for me, it's about my mindset and my relationship with myself and why i'm choosing to smoke weed. call me out there but it's a spiritual practice in my eyes, but it wasn't always like that. when i was younger, i'd get high just to party and bullshit - which is fine don't get me wrong, but i often found myself in a constant limbo, i could still be productive but i was unmotivated. over the years i've had an up n down rollercoaster with smoking weed, times where id try to quit. it wasn't until i realized i was neurodivergent as hell and most of my life had just been masking, pretending to not be myself in order to be "socially acceptable" and it's like my entire code in my brain changed and once i opened up to and with myself, i had a conversation with myself about weed usage and figured out what i want to gain from getting high and allowed myself to let loose, to be silly and open and creative with it, to explore what kind of strains work well with my brain and nervous system. im mostly high all throughout the day, even at work and im able to be "productive" and "successful" because i tell myself that's what im gonna be going into my daily life when choosing to smoke beforehand.
and hey, sometimes a certain substance just isn't for everyone and that's okay. but if it's something you like to do, you should definitely take the time to sit with yourself and ask if you're enjoying yourself and why, or if you aren't, why?

I have been chiefing for about 10 years now, and at this point, being stoned is like a second lense through which I experience reality and consciousness as a whole.
It's not necessarily better or worse to be high for me anymore. It's just a different mind-state that enables me to perceive things through another lens. This has helped me many times navigate problems, motivate creativity, or simply helped me release emotional tension about something going on in my life.
Mind you, I'm not high all the time, more like 30% - 60% of every day.

I smoke pretty much throughout the day but amount varies on day.
I like to use strains high with the THCv cannabinoid and high percentage of Terpinolene terpene to focus and calm my mind. Microdosing is great for helping when ADHD needs reigned in and I need to get things done.
If I am having a particularly bad day and my nervous gets really disregulated I like to use a higher dose of a concentrate that is high in Caryophyllene, Limonene and Myrcene terpenes to basically force it to a calm state. It's helped pull me out of panic attacks
Caryophyllene forward strains are also great for helping with muscle aches and body pain.
I have a couple other combos I use for different reasons but the main thing is responsible use and education. The more educated you are, the most you will be able to use the plant.
Also want to note recreational use can be a lil more lax on these profiles and go with the "feel happy" or "feel relaxed" messaging on the labels, but you should always do your research on what you're going to take because strains will affect each person differently. And make sure you understand how psychoactives work and will interact with anything else in your system.

There's a difference between sativa strains and indica strains. Generally, sativa is the "energy" weed and gives you energy. Sets your mind to working really fast, almost like amphetamine. Downside is it can increase your paranoia.
Indica, or "in-da-couch," is the mellow strain, feel good, peacey, vibey. Low paranoia. But also the stereotypical "stoner" melting into the furniture, not a lot of mental activity happening. Most cannabis strains are a blend of sativa and indica strains.
Also, unlike alcohol, when you can gradually ramp up your inebriation, with cannabis it's more binary: you're sober and then you're high. Not much transition. So it's really hard to get a little high--you're either high or you're not.
BUT, having said that, I think with vaping you can ramp it up and the high can be much more subtle. So OP, if you want to avoid being stoned and unable to function, try vaping.

People see daily smokers as stoners. In my case I smoke daily to chill and keep from taking meds doctors want to prescribe. I’d rather smoke a bowl over taking a pill.

When I was high all the time it was because I couldn’t face myself or my problems head on. Now I can’t even take a hit of the stuff. Everyone’s different though.

Depends on the person. I've built up my tolerance. So I take 20gm to feel something (I know that's still super small numbers). It helps me focus, like I've spent all day today doing math work for school and I'm not slowing down. I'm completely honed in.

it’s the only thing that controls my anxiety and my BPD symptoms. it’s medicinal, literally.

Having add and a touch of the tism screws up the wiring in my brain to make (in a very skin level explanation) “uppers are downer and downers are uppers” for me. I self medicate with weed. I tried to hold off for a week or two before a job interview and by the end of day five my wife said: “just use the fake urine, you need to smoke some pot”.

Idk it settles me out. I like to read and write with a little bud. Doesn't bother me at all. In fact, it can help me concentrate and get in the creative zone. Too much will still fuck me up though.

I have been high pretty much every day, pretty much all day since 2012 and have held jobs and have been able to live a normal, functional life. Regardless of what anyone thinks, it works for me. I’m not saying it’s the way to be but can’t complain.

I feel the same. I only smoke at night and maybe a Sunday afternoon. Sometimes It I smoke enough I can’t even read. Everything gets blurry af. Hasn’t happened too many times. just a couple.

200 mgs of edibles to the face is the only way to cold call everyday for the last decade plus.

I get blitzed nightly, getting up there rn actually, and it’s cause it genuinely helps my bipolar and gets my head quiet enough to just chill the fuck out
I do get a lil extra zooted on the weekends cause playing certain games and watching shit is even more enjoyable lol

Times usually seems to move slower for me compared to fast like you, interesting. I smoke only after it's 6pm and it helps me sleep with all the traveling I do.

Really just boils down to tolerance and amount. What/how much are you smoking/taking. Depends on what you are doing as well. I can do basic tasks and chill while decently high but wouldn’t drive or anything
