 Losing my girl over my medication.
As I've stated in other places, I love her, but I need to manage my anxiety and depression.  She's just so closed minded. There's no way to compromise! She doesn't have any real reason to not accept it that I can argue against. She says that weed just gives her an "uncomfortable feeling" when she's around it or anyone who's high. She doesn't smoke, never has, and won't accept that it does something for me that prescribed pharmaceuticals have not been able to do without unacceptable side effects. I've tried to help educate her and show her that I'm happier and mellower when I've smoked in the last 2 or 3 days, the anger anxiety and depression that has destroyed my social life, and every relationship I've ever had is just not there when I'm high. Now the only person who has stuck by me is going to walk away because of my choice of medicine. It saddens me, and I feel that I'm really losing someone great here. I have tried hiding the habit, I've tried educating her. I'm out of stuff to try, I guess it's time to let her leave and just let go and move on, plenty of fish in the sea as they say. Am I wrong here?      |

Now she states that it caused her aunt's schizophrenia... There is no reasoning, when I tried to convince her with my experiences, she said "That's not scientific!" then when I show her science she sends me non-science. I guess I'm going to lose her, because there's no way to reason with her about it.

Sorry to hear that BC it sounds like a gr8t loss. It is the right thing to do though for you. Before you can be part of something else friendship or love you need to be complete and whole yourself. Tell her that. You get better work on making yourself whole and happy then you will probably find more people will want to be part of that. There is true love out there. Get happy work to that first. Best to you!

Hiding it isn't a great idea, it just makes you look untrustworthy. I went through the same thing with my last girlfriend and lost her because of it, now she's a cop and medical is legal in that state so if we had stuck it out I could smoke with impunity but I'd be with a cop. You win some you lose some, but the lack of understanding on her part would be a turn off for me still.

This song lyric came to mind when i read your posts. Hang in there. Believe in yourself. (excerpt from "Fair Warning", by Todd Rundgren) "I know that you've been wondering if I'm the same man inside Never tried to fool you 'cause I've got nothing to hide I gave you fair warning I could never be tied down 'Til I've seen paradise with my very own eyes Love owns us all, Time owns us all, Life owns us all But the world doesn't own me Dontcha follow me now I ain't afraid to say I may have been wrong I have to go now I'd rather live by a dream than live by a lie And that's why There ain't no cure for what I've got baby We just have to suffer I feel no pain, I can't complain, things could always be rougher But I picked up this banner and I just can't put it down (No) I can't let the world die just 'cause no one would try Dontcha follow me now Everybody's got to find his own place in the sun, everyone So shine on me now I'd rather live by a dream then live by a lie You can say what you will about me talk is cheap and I don't mind When you lay your life down in them grooves you know you're bound to get scratched up sometime" you gotta be happy inside to make someone else happy, bro.... |

A dog is the best companion a person can have, in my humble opinion. They are great for depression and have unconditional love. I have learned more about friendship & pure love from a dog than any other avenue. Not including moms and grandmas. A person can not compromise principles or integrity and expect to find inner peace. This is the same for you and your woman. |

Ditch her, only based on her closeminded views. Ive noticed just from general human observation that close minded people are usually the weak minded unintelligent. No need for that in your life. |

I've been through this far to many times to even count, and it never is easy. But now I'm real vocal about the role cannabis has played in my life and let them know that it will always be a part of my life. Now I only get involved with women that are cannabis users or are understanding of the fact at least. Hang in there and things will get sorted out, it just takes a little time.
