I think it's good to take a break from it every once and a while, especially when depressed.
My parents are getting a divorce, and my family is just ridiculously stressed out. So I've decided to take a break from drinking and smoking, because I usually find that it makes drinking and smoking the highlight of my day, and I end making that the only thing I look forward to... And I shouldn't have to rely on weed to make me feel good, because otherwise I noticed I end up thinking everything else is depressing.
I dunno, what do you think?

I think it's a good idea man. I smoked waaaaaaaaaay too much after my grandmother died, I used it as a crutch to deal with my emotions. It almost ruined smoking for me.

Well, you need to do what makes you feel better.
Keep in mind people use drugs as help... anti-depressants.
If that is something that helps you, why not use it?
I use it to help my temper a lot. If I am mad i try to smoke so i dont keep gettin more pissed and to calm me down. Also, it helps me when Im depressed. It makes me happier and helps me make it through the day with out being depressed most of it.
I honestly do not see it as a "Crutch". People use drugs to help them with many things and they dont tell them they are using "crutches".
Just my view on it.
Sorry to hear about your family. My parents split up when I was 17. It was a very nasty situation.... very sad... very angering... tore my family completely apart. It took a few years for me to be able to talk to my father with out fighting.. My mother nearly killed herself. Its such a hard thing to deal with, i dont care how old you are. If you need someone to talk to you can PM me. : ]

There's nothing wrong with smoking through hard times. Refusing to do so is like refusing to use crutches when you break a leg - it just makes it harder on yourself. And while I suppose someone who gets over a broken leg without crutches will be able to be more proud of themselves or something, there isn't really anything inherently good in that. Getting outside help when you need it, from wherever it might be (drugs, friends, whatever) is perfectly okay. And weed can really help you overcome the negative thought process that you can often be trapped in during a difficult period and allow you to generally analyze the situation and things in general in a more positive light. Even if its the only highlight of your day, better to have at least one highlight than none, right?

weed and drinking affect everyone differently. if you really think it'll help you cope with your real life issues, then definitely take a break. if you find that you're really jonesing for it, that might be an indicator that you're addicted (to the alcohol at least). At least the time off will lower your tolerance and will save you some cash.
hang in there, this is only temporary!

I've smoked quite a bit and I noticed that it makes everything else seem depressing... Like being in school, and pretty much doing anything that isn't toking it up. So I end up just wanting to toke as soon as I get home, and a lot of the time I end up neglecting homework in result of it hahaha. So yeah, I don't think it has a positive effect on me when I'm depressed. But thank you, I really am thankful for your concern. :]

hang in there, this is only temporary! I'm not an alcoholic, hahaha... I've actually never been drunk enough to throw up or get a really bad hangover. But thanks for the advice, I'll be sure to keep it in mind.

Oi. Thats one thing you need to get a hold on. It will only stress you and your family out more if you start failing. Not tryin to lecture. sweatdrop Like Lachie said, It effects everyone differently. I think you need to do what makes you feel better... and maybe find a healthy hobby to help keep your mind off the depressin things. I was on the flag team and in the plays in highschool when I had to deal with that. It was fun and kept me so busy I had little time to dwell during the day about things.

I was failing most of my classes, but I'm bringing my grades up again. :]

I understand how you feel about wanting to quit for a little bit, I've quit before when I had probation and it sucked but I was forced to and I did. But when it was my own decision to quit I've never made it more than a week =/

I have an extremly high Alcohol tolerance, so I'm not much of a drinker.
( I can drink twice the lethal limit and not be drunk, but there's probably a reason for that)
As for herb, it's a smart move. I never smoke to relieve emotional pain.
