i’ve been smoking weed pretty consistently for the last two years, friends got me into it. i usually follow a rule i made for myself where i only get high past 10 pm, and i like doing it then as well because it’s a nice way to relax during the night. if i have weed in my possession, i will do this every single night. when talking to non-smokers about weed and after mentioning this nightly ritual, ive been told a few times that im addicted.

i dont see myself as addicted but i also dont know if im just blind to it since ive been doing it for so long. like i said whenever i do have weed, i get high every night but theres never been a time where im high from morning to night or need to get high before doing a basic activity. i dont smoke joints, only pens so i cant really estimate how much weed i smoke a night but i try to limit myself to 5 puffs max when getting high. there have been periods of time where im unable to get weed (such as now) and during those times i dont experience any cravings for it besides just being bored at night, i have a lot of energy during the night and nothing to relax me so it’s usually pretty boring.

ive gone more than two weeks without weed and have never felt anything other than bored without it, but it doesn’t drive my emotions or cause distress. does this sound like addiction? i don’t see myself as an addict but i honestly don’t know and would like other perspectives
