Quitting weed as someone with ADHD
Hey (potentially) previous fellow weed smokers!
Today is the day… 4th July and I’m doing it! I’m quitting weed!
Like many, I used to do it in my teens with friends. Invece/twice a week, but not every week. No big deal…
Fast forward to being 34 and living alone after a divorce. I became a daily (all day smoker)
I became demotivated, numb, vacant, only cared about weed.
I’m now 38 and I’ve quit 3 times this year, the longest was 70 days. But for the past 2 months I’ve been doing it daily and it’s a problem. I have to stop, not just now, but forever.
I have adhd, prescribed 40mg adderall a day. Tend to take around 20mg a week tops! I found it made me want to smoke more and I could smoke an obscene amount and not feel that high.
Even when I don’t take meds, the amount I can smoke is concerning, especially considering it doesn’t make me feel like I’m “that high” or maybe “high” to me now, is “normal”.
Anyway, I know I’ve been using it to cope, rather than smile. So it has to stop.
Where did my zest for life, personality and charisma go? To the dispensary… that’s where!!
Also, I really don’t think the weed pens are good. So highly concentrated and I personally believe they are way more addictive that a joint! Too convenient and discreet too. (Easy to hide that you’re doing it all the time and have become a functioning drug addict!)
Wish me luck guys! And happy 4th to you all!
