yah my girlfriend snorted 6-10 stamp bags a day for over a year then i finally said either it goes or i do and shes been clean and on suboxone ever since
If she's on something else then she's not exactly clean, is she? She's just transferred the addiction to something else it seems.
You use weed as a coping mechanism? Mentally or pyshically? i never saw herb that way
I do. And I have for a long time. First, when I was a teenager I used it because it felt SO good. Then, after I had my kids, I used it because I was becoming too angry (read: enraged) at little shit like the messes they would make right after I had cleaned the house. I couldn't do that to them, could I? I had to control myself, but couldn't when I became enraged, I just
couldn't even though I tried like hell. Weed helped, and still helps my brain calm down. I also like it for pain control, but that's only been necessary since '02.
My son who uses is a high-functioning autistic. He becomes EXTREMELY anxious about things, new situations, his room or the house being rearranged, whether or not he's understanding people correctly. He's been on quite a few Rx's. He also would be a an anorexic if he didn't smoke, and he's thin enough as it is.
So, yeah, weed to cope or as a coping mechanism, self-medication, whatever you want to call it. I still like to have it because when I don't I still have these problems dealing with some things. Like the phone call I got from my husband this morning. One of his employees' wife was ARRESTED, by a SWAT team, because their kids have been ditching class. Thing is, in this honkey-assed white county, do you think a single fucking WHITE parent has been charged and arrested??? No. Only the Puerto Rican wife and the Mexican husband. Judge says, "It's a new law." I have spent the morning absolutely ENRAGED because I KNOW that they've been targeted because of their ethnicity. I have nowhere to direct this rage, and I am having a huge problem letting it go. If I could smoke just a few hits off a bowl, I could calm the fuck DOWN and put my thinking cap on!
