The thing is when I need to buckle down on some shit, I can go sober for long periods easily. I used to blaze 9-12 grams a week it was mostly because I was around marijuana most of the day and got smoked out 5 grams a week at least. Back then I thought I wouldn't be able to slow down smoking, but since summer has started I smoke less than a gram a week and I have total control over my smoking. I smoke when I want to, and can smoke; and personally I like being sober and saving smoking to relax. Its all about your mindset and taking control of your use. Marijuana isn't addicting at least to me it isn't. Smoking weed is like an ice-cream cone on a hot summer day, its the shit. When ever I am offered an ice-cream cone i accept the offer but I am not addicted. Its about making lifestyle choices. Smoking becomes part of ones lifestyle and routine. Just like eating unhealthy foods. These kids that continue smoking just are rebelling or just don't give a shit about getting caught or what their parents think, they would rather get stoned and deal with shitty consequences. Also a lot of my friends smoke so its hard to pass it up when your friends are passing around a blunt or a bong.
