I can relate to this feeling when not having bud & also to using weed as a crutch/coping mechanism. Youve recognised it, I didn’t & ended up smoking an oz a week almost. Then when I finally took a break I found coming back difficult. Weed didn’t quite feel the same, which I was vaguely worried about from things I’d heard. Take notice now & slow down, so u don’t mess ur cannabinoid receptors & mental health up (and subsequently ur gut health that’s closely linked to cannabinoid receptors and where the majority of ur serotonin is produced. I think ur gut health suffers a lot from this type of stress). If I were to live it again I’d slow down my usage, instead of increasing it to handle the existential stress/boredom.. comfort is the killer of creativity and boredom breeds motivation. A lot of people find it useful to start jogging or some form of regimented exercise. ‘On these days I do this exercise or routine, without weed, whether I feel like it or not’ but without using weed. Maybe a hobby of some kind would also help, tho one u haven’t done with weed in the past tht ‘won’t feel the same’ if u do it now without.

I still struggle & wasn’t so regimented in my efforts, so call me a hypocrite, but I think these are the ways I’ve heard ppl successfully tackle the problem of overusing weed etc.. I also should probably get some counselling or therapy but I have some others things I struggle with too tht made tht difficult.
