I would only use it on weekends or AFTER work. and when you smoke, only smoke a little bit. I don't know the quality of stuff you get, but especially if it's strong stuff, only use a little bit at a time.
I LOVE weed too, but I don't let it interfere with work, family, relationships, ETC. Weed and the workplace do not mix. Never drive after smoking either.
depending on the type (strain)of weed you get, it can give you energy, motivation, or it can knock you on your ass.
I would only stop if it is literally impossible to cut back.
remember, it's an HERB. it can treat gluacoma, in SOME CASES, mental illnesses(be VERY careful in this matter, because it's NOT for everyone), althiemers(old timers- NOT trying to be funny on that one, but just to clarify for those who don't know exactly what altiemers is about), even heals pain after chemotherapy for cancer patients.
personally i would use herb for medicine before i use manmade chemicals for medicine, because God put it here for us, and it can be used for medicine, and the only side effects be cured with a bowl of captain crunch!
if you want the truth look at Genesis 1:12, Genisis 1:29, psalm 104:14, but Don't Forget to look at 1 Timothy 4:3(read the whole chapter(s), as well)(notice it says MEATS, and it says meat in Genesis as well.)
here is a link to a bible online, Geneva bible, the SAME bible that was brought on the mayflower to the new world, that started this country.
http://www.thedcl.org/bible/gb/index.html
if you look at the king james, and the newer translations as well, you'll see the message gets totally twisted as time goes on.
last but not least, don't forget the first commandment,and the others as well- Thou shalt have no other gods before me- exodus chapter 20
remember also, if you use it, don't let it control you, but control the herb. if you smoke the whole bag in one night, there will be none left for tomorrow!!!
our declaration of independence was written on hemp paper, george washington smoked, he was very religious as well.
it wasn't made illegal until the early-mid 1900s
and most important of all, pray. the only TRUE healing comes from above. when praying, ask God what to do. if he wants you to stop, you'll know. ask him to help you ration it, and help with other matters. don't forget to ask forgiveness of sins, and DON'T forget the Lord's prayer, which is in matthew chapter 6, and luke chapter 11. I could give you so much more scriptures,not related to weed, but others as well, but it is all in the bible.
you are in my prayers. Godbless you
p.s. people put all their time and effort into fleshly research, but don't put much time into reading to prepare for eternity. The bible is THE most important book one could read

 You need to look for help! If the possibility of loosing your job, your friends and your family is not enough for you to stop smoking, then you might be addicted to this. Addiction is considered (by some) a sickness familiar with the obsessive compulsive disorder. You spent a whole great amount of time thinking about smoking (obsession) and then when you actually do it (compulsion) you feel a release... you feel calm... and after a while you just go back to the obsession phase again.
I have some friends who've just gone cold turkey and they decided not to smoke again and so they did. I've had other friends who have gone to detox or narcotic anonymous meetings (as they believe the smoking is not the root but just the symptom and you need to deal with what's making you smoke) and they have also been successful. The second choice tends to be easier -not at the beginning as you need to acknowledge a problem with weed- as if you find a good group you are likely to have a support net to stop you from relapsing.
The thing they have in common: they had to walk away from friends and places that tempted them to smoke. Make new friends, hang out in different circles and watch out not to start drinking too much (it is common to change on addiction for another easily).
There are a couple of support groups in the Internet. Look for support! Decide for your future!! Hope this helps!

 oh god, i feel so sorry for you, my grandaughter who is only 16 also uses it, i have cryed over it because i worry so much. i hear the words i wont get addicted and i wont go onto anything stronger, but i have to say its not so easy to say something like that. ask yourself who would worry over you right now, how you could hurt them like i am hurting and more to the point you yourself are worth more. why cant you feel great without it, maybe you need some or something in your life to make things better. what if you got pregnant, is that good for an unborn. i wish i had the answer, i really do, i also wish i could wave a majic wand, but at least you have asked the question so you must worry a little. all i can say is when you do have children you will see the worry yourself, just try .aunty chrissie. x

Don't become a low life, if you want a family of your own, you need to stop, trust me there is much things you can do to feel good. What is it that you want to become in your life, you can do this, quit, or live a low life, when you know you can live a better life.

Good luck!
