Indica vs sativa! 12 step mental addiction?

Hi there. I have been on the forums for awhile but this is my first time posting. Anyways, i have just entered a 12 step program primarily by the guilt trip of the loved ones around me. I have been using for three years consecutively (mainly vaping). I have now been off for three days. I have been trying to get the people who have pressured me into this to understand how its more of a phycological urge rather than anything physical which makes this a breeze for me. The problem is when i was vaping, i was wayy more intuned with the world, reality, and concentration.

i was using too much and causing my feelings to numb and my social life to be non existant. My academic level has been great although i recently dropped out due to tremendous stress( hardest major). Now from someone elses perspective, this would seem as if the pot was the problem but i know better than that. The problem is that i prefer more sativa domimant strains that keep my brain flowing, my social in check, and my mood happy.but here in an illegal state all the growers want to push the indica due to its quicker and shorter grow. Because of this my mood has gonedownhill, i sleep often, and have lack of motivation. Ive had a tough battle explaining this to people as they cant look past the "drug" aspect the media and government portray. How can i get them to realize that this medication in moderation ( which i plan to do once i sober forawhile) isnt a harmful thing and infact benificial to my lifestyle. Im jus having a really hard time as i have noone to relate to in my classes because nobody understands the cbd to thc ratio and its mood enhancement. What can i do rollitup please help

ps sorry its a long post i didnt think id write this much but its a deep issue wih me

You entered a 12 step program for marijuana use? Just get your life back in order and practice moderation dude.

No offense my friend, but judging by your post (which admittedly is only a snapshot view of your stated issue) You really DO need to quit smoking --- at least for a while. Yes, smoking herb can indeed have it's positive aspects, which generally outweigh the negatives. But in your particular case, it sounds like your ganja use (plus possibly other things? No??) is having detrimental effects on your future and your common sense/perception of reality. The whole Indica/Sativa thing is total bullshit and you know it. You like to smoke weed so much that it is negatively impacting your life. Don't feel alone bro, we've all been there (or will get there at some point, for those that are truly newbies to the 420-lifestyle) but eventually you mature more and it becomes an enhancement rather than a focus of your life. I remember days when all I cared about was scoring a lid so I could stay high for the day. Now, weed is an uber-low priority in the grand scheme of things, but still my absolute favorite passtime (well, OK, 2nd favorite!!). The trick is, I control it instead of the other way around. Sure, I LIKE to get high, but it's NOT a necessity. I won't let it interfere with any of the things that REALLY matter in life (Family, friends, career, etc.).

priorities man, get them str8, when you learn to prioritize right and be responsible then you can use the herb the lord has blessed us with. Make a rule for yourself to only smoke at night no sooner then 2 hours before bed when all your responsibillities are done in the privacy of your own home and in the company of only yourself, that is the most responsible and safe way you can use the herb, try that for several years and then slowly work your way out to learn other responsible and safe times to blaze.

Hello you are actually right my friend, i guess my suggestion would be to find someone to supply you with some sativa strains rather than to go with Pure indica strains or have you considered a cross bread between the two like OG Master KUSH OR just get you some Mexican Sativa....

just my input...
