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

i think that u might have fallen into habit.
its not that u are addicted, just that u are in the habit of doing so and its gonna feel weird for about 30 days....
if after 30 days u feel the same u might have some other issue....
usually takes 30 days to break a habit

Agreed about the habit aspect. When you do something like a ritual, it takes time for your mind and body to forget it.

However, I totally understand what you're talking about man. Sativa makes things just flow, enhanced concentration, increased awareness of my emotions and those of others, and just way more focus and interest in expanding my horizons than when I smoke indica. Forget that, it makes me retreat into a place where I do nothing, which annoys me.

My advice is to forget the indica, just don't smoke it. That sucks, but going without smoking now and then also helps clear out the old cobwebs. Makes the sativa that much better next time.

Also, and this sucks, but try to conceal your smoking from your family when you can. Don't smell like it, don't look high, none of it. I went through this in my 20's. My whole family was on my case because they thought I'd end up doing meth or something and drop out of college. (I'm from Iowa). I told them I stopped, took showers before visiting family, sobered up for Thanksgiving and Xmas, and bought a lot of Visine redness relief eye drops. After a while they forgot about it, until recently in my 30's, now I don't give a damn and frequently bring up the topic.

Don't worry about it so much or second guess what's right for you, that's what ends up causing real problems. If at some point you want to re-evaluate, then stop smoking and think about it. Life is too short for BS and regret.

They don't live in your head, so don't rent them any free space in there! You're 3x7 and YOU are the one who must deal with the reasons for your usage...if that is simply "I like the high" thats OK! Do you piss on their shoe for drinking? or for poppin' all their Dr. Rx'ed DRUGS?Demand the same respect or distance yourself from those who feel superior by guilt-trippin' those around them.
It's called Holistic MEDICINE! and Mainstreamers dont have clue #1!

i know how you feel man, same kinda problem with me, my family just plainly and simply do not understand marijuana on the same level as me and you for example, and i know that somewhere along the line i have clearly put the same information down on the table such as CBD being the chemical in cannabis which is used medically, but they just cannot get past the horrible and unjust reputation that the media portrays upon to marijuana. peace out
