Is this a common side effect of smoking pot? I often times only smoke pot at night but if I don't have classes the day after I just find myself with nothing to do all day. I get depressed and bored and I can't bring myself to do much. Also inb4 smoke more pot, my sister has the pot and she lives across town so I have to wait until she does so I can.
When did you start smoking?
About half a year ago, beginning of first semester of college.
You're dependent upon it, that's obvious.
oh....well thats sad. I guess I do have a personality that tends to make habits of things.
I'd suggest periodically taking a week at least or 2-3 weeks if you can do it breaks from drugs.
it makes it much more special when you do it and you won't be dependent upon it to enjoy your life
I thought pot was non-addicting?
It's habit forming, and increases dopamine production. Once those dopamine levels drop to normal, it effects you making you (sometimes) depressed and (especially) bored. Once you get used to it after a few days you'll be back to normal.

It isn't. Although some people/places say it is psychologically addiciting. Correct me if i'm wrong.
That makes sense. I should have gotten that after watching Super High Me last night, but I was the title.
You're not addicted, just get a fucking hobby. Everyones fucking bored if they have nothing todo and if you have motivation problems because of weed you should stop smoking until you stand on your own feet. Trust me it can be bad if you let it pull you down, hate to say it but weed can rob all your motivation.
You guys can't actually think that anything that makes you feel good can't create dependence

There are food addicts, sex addicts... fuck if there's something that makes you feel good i guarantee there's a respective group of addicts for it.
I did, I had to leave it behind at college. Used to paint w40k miniatures. I do try to keep busy, I go on walks when im feeling down(cant now because its snowing like a motherfucker), I cleaned my pipe today because I could.
the hobby idea is wonderful, either pick it back up again or pick a new one.
with your interests I'd suggest a craftwork sort of hobby, one you can get really into, one where your craft of choice can always be improved/nitpicked over.
wood working, basket weaving, knitting. shit there's a really large list somewhere but i don't have it, go out and find it :D
I should mention I live in a college dorm.
oh i thought you said you left college and left it there lol.
that really shouldn't stop you if you live in a big enough town or area. there are probably places where you can go to work and possibly get paid for it. hell, you could rent a storage unit for like 5 bucks a month and set up a work shop in there if you could manage.
and even then there are plenty of crafty hobbies you can do in such a small and low security setting. you said you were in college, take an art/drawing class
I would do all those things if it wasnt for the fact i dont have a car.
is there a half decent public transport system in your area?
and if the setup (lugging large items around like chairs, workbenches and other shit you can't/don't want to take on the bus) is why you need a car get a friend with a car to help you out.
or if you have a license rent a u-haul truck for like 20 bucks

Or in your case, paws.
If my computer was better I would just play Minecraft all day.
Learn to...draw?
Come warmer seasons take up a sport if you don't already have one.

What the fuck does that have to do with anything?
Also, can you get a part time job or something, OP?

Been trying, but without a car I am severely limited.

The first 2 years I worked I took the bus.
seriously, i cannot stress how useful public transport is, not to mention you probably get some decent exercise walking to your transit points

That's the joke...

I'm not a furry-hater if that's what you think
im the same man...
you just need to find something to entertain yourself with while you're not smoking. i feel exactly the same so i just watch movies and shit or play games if none of my friends are around to chill. life is all about finding something to do to waste all your time. you just have to find something that interests you.
My problem is the things that interest me the most (games, music, movies) are all more enjoyable smoking a bowl or two.
That sucks
Maybe you should get out more OP
