So my girlfriend and I have decided that spending half of our pacheques on marijuana on a weekly basis probably isn't a good idea. Decided to only smoke on the weekend. Now, we've been smoking roughly a half ounce a week between us since last summer, and I don't think it's been much of a problem with school, etc. The primary problems it presents for me are these:
a) Health:
Debatable, I know, but in all honesty I can't see sucking hot smoke and ash down your throat as being a very positive thing. This is probably the least important of the three for me, 'cause seriously, a lot of things are unhealthy, and to stop all of them would be impossible, so why single out one just because it's illegal?
b) Money:
I don't know how I still have any. I make $75-150 a week during the school year, and at least 55 of it (sometimes significantly more) goes to weed. While this isn't essentially a problem as I have no expenses that I'm neglecting and am not in debt, it's money that could be going to things like travelling, etc.
c) Family: They probably know we do it, to think otherwise would be extremely naive. I don't really mind them knowing, but I respect my family very highly and don't want to be doing something that they have a problem with. I don't KNOW they have a problem, but I do not want to be the one to bring it up.
There's no point to this post. I'm not asking questions, really, as I know what I have to do and am prepared to do it. Not gonna stop entirely because it has many positive aspects and I don't want to lose those. However, in order continue with our lives in the way we want them, we cannot be intoxicated all the time, for the reasons stated above.
Any thoughts?
