I spent the week days in a psych ward this week.
Just now I told a friend of mine I was going to quit smoking weed at least until the summer starts. I told him that I feel that I've become to reliant on it as a way to manage stress. I feel like I need to be able to be comfortable and be able to handle stress without it at least for a while. These next few weeks of school, the court date, etc. should be the time to test myself.
I feel like I'm doing what's right for me right now, but do I sound brain washed?
Doesn't sound brainwashed to me. You are not like "OMG WEED IS THE DEVIL" instead you realize that you were using it to deal with stress and you wish to deal with stress in a manner not involving a drug.
pass the weed

if you don't want to do weed because you would like to actually toughen up and manage stress the way non-druggies do it, then there's nothing wrong with that.

he implied that smoking marijuana makes you a "druggie" and there's something wrong with smoking it in the first place
weed isn't addictive.
If you are unable to manage stress without relying on weed it is indicative of another issue entirety.
weed shouldn't be a tool to manage stress, but rather to help manage stress.

I know it isn't addictive.
I need to know I can stand on my own feet and handle my shit without it.
Before I was just running away from my problems and using weed to help me feel better.

not really. but would you deny that it would make you a stronger person to deal with your troubles on your own rather than with the help of marijuana?

it isn't physically addictive, but you can still become addicted to it by subconsciously associating things incorrectly, like becoming too reliant on instant relaxation/stress management and associating it purely with weed without meaning to
in which case not using the drug itself might not be the answer, but it's probably a viable step in a bigger solution, at least for the time being
so i think cam is doing what he needs to be, if he feels he is

sometimes people use love to run away from their problems giggle;
you'll learn this in level 16!
I agree with JMV, but Does it give you anxiety at all?
durgs do not create, only unleash and present. it is you who dictates the understanding and commits to action.
It's reasonable unless being high or not actually doesn't affect your ability to handle stress, ie it's an issue completely unrelated
If you feel like it works for you then keep doing it.
No, you aren't brainwashed. You just need to step back and take a break. :3
