The MasterMind

It's cool to find an MJ forum. Anyway, this is my first post on here and I want to get some input from some of you with experience.

In high school I was a heavy weed smoker. I would smoke daily, and I felt pretty addicted. I decided I wanted to quit, it was tough but I had eventually cut to weekends/ever other weekend and I was happy. I met my girlfriend about seven months ago, and everything about our relationship is great. When I met her she was the typical good girl, didn't smoke, didn't drink, got good grades, etc. I actually ended up quitting too until recently. She's two years younger than me (i'm a soph in college and she's a senior in hs), and I feel kind of a responsible to keep her away from doing this stuff like I used to. I have many friends who smoke very frequently and I don't want to see her turn into that, not to mention that I would feel responsible.

So these days she wants to smoke and I do as well, and last week we blazed four, maybe five times. In total we've done it together maybe 7 times. I may be getting a little bit addicted again (I feel like doing it a lot) and I think she may be too. We both have a blast while doing it. My older sister has warned me that our relationship will change. And that we'll just smoke all the time because we'll encourage each other, etc. I know that if me and her keep smoking, even on weekends, that it has the possibility to turn into that. Not only that, but she'll probably begin to have feelings of addiction (that she'll feel like doing it a lot). Now that I've began smoking again, I'm not gonna lie, I want to do it. But if I do than she's going to want to as well. I don't want her to become a pothead, and I don't want our relationship to change at all.

Obviously I care about her a lot.

Anybody have any input?

One can not get "addicted" to marijuana. But back to your original question, I think that if you both enjoy smoking, and are responsible about it, then there should be no problem with smoking together. Don't worry about your relationship changing between you two, if anything smoking will probably bring you closer to her than before.

I know that a person cannot get addicted to it, but I consider it an addiction (to an extent) when you want to do it on a daily basis.

First off, welcome to the site.

Glad to hear you and your lady friend can both enjoy this wonderful plant. I'd advise you to keep it in moderation. But after all it's really between you and her to decide. Figure out what works for you two and what makes you both happy. Talk to her about it and see what she thinks. If you see your relationship changing then try stopping for a while to see what happens.

It is possible to become mentally addicted to marijuana. Lucky for us there are little to no withdrawal symptoms, the worst probably being boredom. Try to find the balance that works. If weed starts to get in the way for some reason (don't see why it would) then simply stop and play it out. Life goes on...

Let me get this straight ....

Being a stoner, you don't want a stoner girlfriend?

I fail to see a connection.

Face it, dude. You're a stoner. I don't know man.. I was in the same situation sorta.. Before I met my girlfriend, she didn't do any of that shit,but now we smoke together every night and have been together for two and a half years.

Frankly no one but you guys can decide the right way to moderate your intake. If she wants to do it more than you thats her choice, but if you don't approve of her usage you don't have to facilitate it (ie: give her you pipe, papers, weed). I do feel like it would be your responsibility as a (boy)friend to talk to her about it if you think its affecting her life negatively but in reality the only thing that will stop a drug user from using drugs is their own personal choice. As Vern has suggested though i believe you should use in moderation and set limits for yourself like only on weekends or only after I've finished my school work or something of the sort. Glad to hear you guys are having fun with it though

Welcome to the site

Imo, you're demonizing MJ way too much - We aren't talking about some highly addictive substance here, unless you just completely dissregard moderation then smoking now and then should be fine. Smoking with your girl can be awesome and you really shouldn't worry too much about it messing up your relationship; As Killerchron already said, if anything it will bring you closer together.

Toke up now and then, have some fun, but remember to make time to do stuff together sober - You're obviously responsible and understand that with any drug there are risks, so imo you should just enjoy yourself and do what feels right.
