I, too, smoke pot daily and have been doing this for the last 20 years. Pot suits my temperament and really helps me to focus on my work (or studies, when I was in college).

Pot is the only thing that helps me sit still. It helps with my motivation and drive, which is wierd as it makes other people zombies.

Still, I wish I could quit or at least reduce my intake, as I know it is not great for my lungs. Stopping drinking (for me) is much easier.

I wonder if a change in my meds could compensate for what I would be losing if I stopped smoking.

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying when you say you "miss time" when high. Is that time goes fast-forward? For me, it is just the opposite, and I gain patience for mentally challenging activities.

Have you experienced this? Smoking pot daily helped me to focus on really boring subjects when I was getting my electrical engineering degree. I could take detailed notes, put things into my photographic memory, etc.

I think I understand _why_ I smoke, and am working to see what I can do to replace the hole in my life that would be created if/when I quit.

What is your motivation for smoking?
