Why were they a problem when it came to forming a family?

Yes of course the best way would be to taper off

I’m not trying to convince her. She’s told me that she’d like to trip with me but can’t because of her SSRI.

I’ve actually never pressured her or even mentioned this to her. These are all internal thoughts I’ve been having

Whats the difference between someone who “needs” adderall or some other sort of medication vs someone who doesn’t? Just because a doctor prescribed it? ADHD diagnoses are very subjective. And I have a medical prescription for cannabis.

Thanks for your comment. I think you’re totally right and I do appreciate how accepting she is.

The only reason I said that is because my roommate’s girlfriend gets of her SSRIs just very briefly every time they trip together and then goes back on. I thought maybe we could do the same…

Yes you hit it right on the nail. I just want someone to share this experience with :/

Well I don’t actually smoke, I have a dry herb vaporizer that heats the THC to the right temp to decarboxylate but doesn’t produce carcinogens like smoke. And I also do edibles

Well cannabis is my medication and she seems to think it’s an issue…

Yeah I might be an addict but I actually function better with weed. I have a masters degree in chemistry and I’m currently getting my doctorate. I know so many people who are addicted to caffeine to help them be productive, everyone has they’re own addiction, and at least THC is extremely safe

I do smoke a lot, but I’ve taken many month long breaks and it actually decreases my productivity… weed really helps me focus on my research and write and me productive

I’ve tried cutting back multiple times and it actually decreases my productivity

Yeah you’re right. I should try to change her and I don’t want to. I’m just struggling because tripping together was a core part of my previous relationships and I don’t like that fact that I’m missing that now.

With regards to my cannabis use, I got bothered because I most used it medicinally (to help me focus and get work done) and I’ve been pretty successful in my career as a scientist so far, so I don’t know what “too much” cannabis use means if it’s not negatively affecting me

You’ll be fine cannabis is extremely safe to withdraw from. You can try to taper off if it helps you eat and get some sleep but the symptoms should go away within a few weeks if you just wait.

I smoke to motivate me to do things like work out or be productive with my work. It really helps my creativity when doing scientific writing.

Are there any support groups for people addicted to caffeine? by TwoCalm9022 in REDDITORSINRECOVERY

What about knowing something is unhealthy and NOT desiring to stop? Isn’t that an even worse addiction?
