DAZED AND CONFUSED

Ok so i don't even think anyone is going to read this let alone answer back. I'm 19 year old college dropout whos recently working at a bar in an airport. It's a really fast paced environment so I usually smoke alot of weed to relax and chill out. I guess my question is, do I smoke too much? No one ever really seems to notice but I find myself taking breaks ALL THE TIME to burn joints. Its at the point now where I'm constantly late for work cause I have to make sure I have e ajoint rolled for afterwards. HELP!

Just my little two cents:  When my son was home for Christmas break during his first year in college, he was out partying and got stopped and ticketed for DWI.  So I bail him out of jail and he's then on probation.  He had a good job while home (college Christmas breaks are pretty long), but he couldn't stop his weed habit.  So it showed up in his drug screen and back to jail he went.  He lost his job and missed about a month of college (I couldn't bail him out that time).  Then he had to work like hell to make up his work at college.  He still smokes but not nearly as much, money being the main factor I think.  If you're going to smoke it, it would be better if you just backed down to smoking it when you get home.  It's definitely not cool to smoke it at work.
My two cents,
Yoda

Are you asking us for permission? I for one will not give you permission. There is a debate whether you should or shouldn't smoke pot, but it is still illegal isn't it? You're the one that is asking if you have a problem.Your post is 'Dazed and Confused'. What does that tell you. It doesn't imply that you are sharp and clear headed.

Smoke as much weed as you want if it is helping you on your job. a couple of tips. If you get caught you will most likely get fired. PLEASE don't do ANY other drugs. At your age I was just smoking weed and decided to try other drugs (we won't get into detail) but one thing led to another and have been on Methadone for the last 31 years. PLEASE PROMISE ME YOU WON'T DO ANY OTHER DRUGS. Smoke away.

As in any addiction, the will to quit has to come from you! Many years ago I was way worse than you. I had trouble quitting but for me it was God's intervention that cured me. It was a single moment in time. I still remember it like it was yesterday. (26+ yrs ago) After that I couldn't stand the smell. I had no desire to ever touch it again. And I haven't.
Smoking pot for what? What does it really do for you? If you are caught, will it jeopardize you job? How bad is it affecting your finances? Are the dollars lost worth it. How much drive do you have when you're high? All I wanted to do was to kick back.
You have to answer the question if you smoke too much.The real question might be, should I smoke at all?

I am not trying to be mean but, if you cant handle a job without weed. then take a look at either the job or you. if would be one thing if you were saying i smoke weed when i get off work to calm me down but your saying at work. I dunno how i feel about weed it self and it dont matter what i think its gona get you in trouble. i smoked a good bit when i was younger but i just stopped one day, when i found out i was preg with my oldest girl. so... maybe look at you then the job. why  be so hard on your self so what your 19 and you dropped out of collage.. if that bothers you pm me and i will tell you some funny storys about some others drop outs that are doing well

I think you smoke to much at work!  If it is as busy as you say and you are always on break than they are going to notice you missing all the time and at some point someone will figure out whats going on. And smoking week in an Airport??... to much security around there for me to do that. If the job is getting to you than you might to find another job with less pressure.
