Is it even possible to live life as a somewhat healthy programmer who smokes some weed and enjoys life?? I dont even know how to talk to normal middle class people, who only seems to talk about their vacations and non offensive topics like elks or whatever instead of talking about the laundry list of drugs they took last week and complaining about their jobs and society. I'm jumping on the computer science bandwagon and am feeling pretty good about that. Maybe I work towards my grades and then take up blazeing in a while? Life is not that short, really. I'm having a hard time blowing off steam around these 'normals', feeling pent up and aggressive. No tasteful furniture is going to satisfy my need for decadence.

Jesus Christ, just smoke less weed. Treat getting high like a vacation that you have to prepare for by getting all your work and chores and poo poo done. I assure you, it's entirely possible to ace your classes while still imbibing so long as you don't spend entire days in a drugged stupor like an idiot (hint: college is pretty loving easy and if you can't be responsible enough to get your work done, the problem is with you, not the drugs).

Most people are boring, especially in affluent areas, so it's stupid to artificially deprive yourself of your fun-time/oh-god-I-need-to-forget-the-existential-horror-of-my-pointless-loving-life drugs. Instead of hanging around bougie assholes during your down time, go out and volunteer at a soup kitchen or help poor people fill out their taxes or something. It's bound to be more fulfilling than schmoozing with your rear end in a top hat acquaintances. And then go get high (after you've done your studying, you ne'er-do-well)

my life revolves around smoking this plant. Everything else puts me on edge and bothers me

Op I quit smoking weed to clean out my piss and get a better job so I can pay my mortgage and still have some money left over to blow at Lowes.


The day after I stopped smoking my closet filled up with Polo shirts and now I'm a republican.

The OP's story is like the reverse of an after-school special. Don't stop doing drugs or you'll become an angry person with a boring life and pretentious friends who can only talk about elk, vacations, and microbrews!

In reality, it isn't an all-or-nothing thing. Just like some people can drink on the weekends, but some people become alcoholics drinking all day, there are some people who can handle occasional drug use. Whether you will let it take over your life and steal the gains you've made depends a lot on you as an individual as well as the types of drugs involved.

Also, it sounds like your new friends aren't middle class but upper middle class / upper class. The middle class people I know are pretty down-to-earth and can't afford that many vacations to Europe.

You know what, im gonna do just that, volunteer or something. Ive been in the social work business for a while, might as well do some of it without pay, since i dont even have a main cash costing hobby (weed) anymore, i dont even need all the money in the world atm.

Im from europe.

But yes they (we) are pretty upper in the spectrum I guess, which makes it even worse some how.

Volunteering is a really really good idea.

Then say to your doc "what options do I have doc?"
And your doc replies (he also rehearsed this) "well there have been massive breakthroughs in cancer treatment using ... I hope you're ok with this ... no stop crying .... marijuana"

She didn't make me but she doesn't think smoking weed and being cool guy with chill day is impressive so she always makes sure to get some whining in when I smoke, so I stopped for a while.

Now I myself doing the dishes and actually cooking food instead of buying terrible fast food which sucks. Being responsible is like realizing you've wasted your life and youth on video games and weed instead of just chilling out, smokig weed and playing video games.

Once upon a time I asked an older, married friend of mine what the secret to having a successful long term relationship with a woman was.

He told me, find a girl that smokes weed. That way you know she won't be swayed by all the bullshit that most women come up with, because at the end of the day she will smoke a bowl and just BE with you, and that will be enough for her.


So yeah I think maybe you might be a little tiny bit pussy whipped.

Isn't it weird how so many women will give you poo poo for smoking a bowl now and then, but see nothing wrong with going out with their friends a few times a week and just getting loving hammered? That always pissed me off since I have some friends that stay with these types of women and then sneak around behind their back to smoke some weed now and then. Its like drat, you gonna marry this bitch but you're sneaking around just to smoke a bowl?

Gave a DD ride about a year ago to a friend's fiance and her sister, and they somehow got on the subject of how hilarious it was that he used to smoke weed. Two drunk women, in the back of my car, making fun their soon to be husband/brother in law because he used to smoke weed. Talking about how much more mature he is now that he doesnt, when he's been supporting his girl financially for like 6 years and they are only 24. I really wanted to make those bitches get out and walk their drunk rear end home.
