I smoke weed because it keeps me level. and by level i mean before i smoked weed i was angry and violent. since i started i am mellow (big surprise.) I don't smoke more than like a bowl a day at the most. Sometimes not at all. But every 2 or 3 days i absolutley have to or else i will go right back to being a dickhead. Anyone else?
Do you think it's normal?

stop smokeing that crap! its bad for you :P
i smoke weed because it makes me look cool in front of people i dont know. you need to get your priorities straight, and find a real reason to smoke ganj
You're emotional/anger problems will need to be addressed in a different way.
At the moment it's clear that you're puffing the chiba specifically for the purpose of preventing an outburst, and from personal experience I can tell you this most certainly does not help - quite the contrary - makes it worse.
Any habit can become an addiction through dependence. Don't be an addict just because you think you need to. You don't.

You cannot become an 'addict' but you can use weed as a crutch, thus thinking you are addicted. Address your problems when you're angry / violent - weed can help you think harder on why you're actually pissed off but it cannot solve the problem. Enjoy it for fun, or to relax, but never use it to forget.
And finally, weed isn't bad for you either - hence why weed's actually used for medicinal purposes in some countries. It has a lot of positive sides that many people seem to miss, and it's less destructive than drinking alcohol.
listen man my dad used to be a total asshole for a while, then one promising day i brought home an 8th of laughing buddah and i offered him some...he reluctantly accepted my generous offer, so we sat down and lit a fat bowl of some of my very potent shit and within miniutes i saw a peaceful calm side of my dad that i've never seen before. And the funny thing was that tranquil side of my dad seemed to show itself for 3-4 days after smoking. I have my own theries for this: the main being that cannabis makes you relized how trivial and unimportant some little things are...for example id rather break a lamp at a stoners house then an alcoholics house...my father now smokes 2-3 times a day and his life has greatly improved. I say to you good sir keep smokeing the sweet leaf if it gives you a good buzz awsome, if it makes you less of a dick even better the world could use less of them (pun intended)
A guy I used to work with had the same deal. He'd light up before work, and he'd be fine. But one day he ran out, and got fired that same day for cussing out our boss. *shrugs*
You should take some time off, buy an ounce, and just sleep and relax for a while. Start to forgive people when they fuck up, and give them credit when they don't. And share the lord's green harvest.
Yes smoking weed is normal.

If you don't want to turn into a raging psycho the moment you run out, I would suggest you see a therapist. Maybe he or she can help you determine the cause of your outbursts and anger issues. Maybe a therapist could even help you find a way to deal with your problems. Just an idea, in case you don't want to live your life perpetually stoned :)
You should take care of your issues, esp if you get violent, but if it helps you, good for you. Just be aware its illegal in many states and countries. Good luck.
hey man whatever works for you. no one likes a violent maniac.
Smoking weed can seem like it works, and really even work, for sorting out some problem like this for quite a long time.

It won't last; in the long run it will only make it worse. Unfortunately, the boring sensible people are right.
Weed won't solve your problems, just delay them. Search your feelings for your fears and take time to listen. Misunderstanding leads to fear and fear leads to suffering.
for all the haters and doubters, check out the FACTS on NORML.org. Marijuana is good for you. So toke it up my friend. It has been a proven medicine against depression. On a personal note, I have weed to thank for completely curing me of cancer and treating my bipolar. Ignorance and fear keep it illegal.

Go out on a friday night, watch people getting into fights. Are they drunk or on weed? Weeds okay, just make sure you keep your head straight!
