[QUOTE=Benji;27809281]My problem is the things that interest me the most (games, music, movies) are all more enjoyable smoking a bowl or two.[/QUOTE]
yeah, this happens to me too. i need more shit to do.
When I have periods where I have to work 9 hour shifts everyday then I can go ages without pot, but it's those long days where the house is free and you've done everything you need to do. Then a joint feels like a really good idea.
Take a break from the weed. In my opinion, you know you are abusing a drug when you can't/have a hard time going without it. Try working out, releases endorphins, makes you feel good. Long distance running, lifting weight or whatever you want. If you don't want to work out, find some kind of hobby, or some computer game (although maybe it's not so much better to replace a weed addiction with a game addiction, so try avoiding addictive games like WoW if you have an addictive personality).
addiction is an excuse for saying you love to do something
A good sign that you are abusing weed is when it starts to become boring. What the OP is getting is an effect caused by not being able to what you want to do. I'm sure it is something that we've all experienced but I'll still offer up a dumb analogy. Let's say you found a new game and get really into it and can't wait to play it again. Then you find out that your Xbox is broken and that you can't play that game until your Xbox comes back from the repair shop. For that period of time, other games that you usually fine enjoyable will likely be boring, and you have a difficult time not being bored. I know I get this a lot, like the few days I can't play my guitar is the time I want to play my guitar the most. I can still try to entertain myself, but it feels more as a distraction from wanting to play my guitar which makes whatever I'm doing not really enjoyable.
If you were bored/stressed/depressed before you started, like I was/am, then usually once you start, then stop for a day or two, it makes you feel the same as before, because you don't feel depressed/stressed/or bored when you smoke. You get used to not feeling that way, then you go back to feeling the same.

[QUOTE=Pirate Ninja;27802670]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.[/QUOTE]
or this.
You will be bored (and possibly depressed) if you cut smoking after smoking it daily for a few weeks. I'm dry and will be for a few weeks (by choice, even though sleep and study will be much harder, considering that's why I started in the first place) you need to occupy yourself with SOMETHING.
Buy a longboard, cruise around the neighbourhood when bored, smoke pot less and with friends instead of alone.

Smoking weed on a regular basis to aid sleep isn't too great because you become dependant on that to get a good night's sleep.
Not really, I felt perfectly fine last night.
Then again, I took some advil PM :xd:
Besides, before I started smoking weed it would take me between 45 minutes and 2 hours to actually fall asleep, with weed, it's in a matter of 5 minutes. I don't care if I have to be dependent on it, I'm not tossing or turning anymore because of it and I am much better rested now than at any point previously in my life.
Somebody unbreak the page please.

Well if you're still interested in the painting/sculpting, I would recommended getting into art. I mean we may not think the same, but if I were you I would start taking some art classes and tap into that creative part of my brain.

This is why I hate winter, when I get bored there is nothing to do. Last week it was -50F, can't even snowboard in that weather.

Or love is an excuse for saying you're addicted to something.

I think he lives in South Dakota, same TERRIFIC state as me, but it only got like -20 in my area...only.
Talking about how not smoking is boring, I planned on going halves on an 8th with a mate this evening. But everyone is dry, we phoned 18 different people all of which either had nothing or weren't about.

Now that's a kick in the teeth, especially if you've been looking forward to it.

OP just needs to go out more
That is an easy solution
[QUOTE=En-Guage V2;27909983]OP just needs to go out more

I have no cash almost ALL the time, and I get out almost every weekend with my friends...
you do not need money to have fun, it just helps a great deal.
