That's what she keeps saying.
I've seen her go two days without a puff... it's not pretty.

Wait, just read this now. Dunno how much you love her, but an addict will always be an addict. run. now.
I think that smoking weed everyday, especially before work indicates that there is a problem.
You cannot tell me that your cognitive skills are better while smoking weed that while not. You may think that they are.
It alters your brain state and if you get high everyday then you are not actually you when you are doing so, and that is not someone I would want to be around.
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against weed use for recreation, but when it interferes with your work, study, cognitive processes of 'life', then there is something wrong.
And i disagree with your above statements as it is not true for everybody, even if you smoked the stuff it clearly indicates that you do not have as much knowledge about the topic as some other people have and also it is based on the personality of the person smoking, I certainly do not have a slow reaction time even while smoking weed I bet mine would be better than average. I definitely do not suffer from mood alteration besides for like I said instead of being cross for hours on end Ill just drop it and start doing things worth being happy about. I certainly do not get retarded as you seem to think every pot smoker gets that.
I would rather have some pothead driving 40 than some chop racing the streets because he had a **** day at work and has to come home to a gf that enjoys smoking pot.

Geez if I had a job like that I'd get stoned before AND during work. Soul destroying stuff.
yea that kind of job would kill anyone and I don't think even a pothead could with stand that. I am a Tech and our company manages roughly 60 servers between 3 techs. I occasionally help out on the support desk however that is boring as hell.
Of course you suffer from mood alteration! Why do you smoke it if it does nothing to you?

Lovely. That's about the same answer I'll get from my pothead friends as well.
What they never seem to realize is that:
A) Sometimes being in a bad mood, or being depressed is a good thing. It's caused facing reality, and being yourself. Constantly turning your frown into a fake smile by using narcotics comes across as lame to some of us. Like I said, it's fine or weekends or when you want to party. Not so cool when it's part of you lifestyle.
B) That it's really easy to tell when someone's been using it for a long time. They seem to be incapable of reaching euphoria without begin stoned, or at least, there's a very tight correlation. Also, if they're not stoned they already accept the fact that whatever they're about to do will kind of suck.
C) People who've used it for a long time seem to go through much bigger highs and lows (granted, depression does the same) but it's still pretty easy to spot. It's also damn confusing for people looking in on the outside, but you can't exactly confront them on it because then you're accused of being a grumpy old sod.

That is no better than speeding. That is now becoming an obstruction to the flow of traffic and is probably a contributing factor to us having "some chop racing the streets". Nobody wants to get stuck behind some douche doing 40 in a 60/80. If you're too drugged up to drive at the speed limit and keep up with the flow of traffic, keep your stoned ass on the couch.

Like I said the only mood alterations weed gives me is that I don't lose my temper as much. When I am angry and you have a joint you start realising that your reason's for being upset are usually quite pathetic and you move on with life and enjoy the things you want to enjoy. Why do I smoke? 1 being that I used to suffer quite badly with Asthma, since I started smoking weed I dont use my Asthma pump anymore because it feels almost non existant now. I also enjoy it for relaxing, its like having a hot bath but no need to get wet, just have a joint and relax. I use it when I want to study as I find I can focus better while smoking weed and it helps me with memorising certain patterns that I sometimes might not grasp when not high.
Maybe it affects me differently to other pot smokers but I firmly believe it is based on personality and not the substance, all my friends smoke and they also usually get more focused when smoking, they seem to work harder and smarter when smoking than not.
A.) well then go live your life being moody, I have a boss that is constantly angry and has similar views to you, really couldn't care if thats the way you want to live your life. I prefer to be happy in the things I do, I dont have to constantly be upset all day long or just enjoy my weekends, seems like a rather dull way to live life.
B.) Well maybe for some there is no way other than taking drugs? Again my point is not about that, my point is you seem to group every pothead into this category. I can tell you that the thing that makes me happiest in life is riding my dirtbike on weekends and when I do that there is no need to involve pot. In fact I have never gone riding while high because I dont feel there is a need for it. If your girlfriend is one of those then again no use being cross about it, rather sit down and discuss it?
C.) You might be right about that, wouldn't know as my circle of friends seem to be fine on pot or sober, we have good times either way? Again my point leads to not everyone on pot lands up in this category you are putting them in.
yea I agree on that, but like I said, I would prefer somebody driving 40 than at 120 in a 60/80 zone. atleast at 40 the chances of a person doing something stupid is less likely to happen than somebody going way past the speedlimit. Look im not perfect here as I too speed on the occasions but 90% of the time i ride my scooter to work and it only goes about 70/80 km/h.

Both extremes are not ideal. Speeding is obviously dangerous to you and everyone else while crawling is disruptive to the flow of traffic. And yes, we are all guilty of doing stupid stuff on the road at times, but if we accept that we have to deal with stoned people crawling around, that just won't cut it. If smoking affects you in such a way that you can't keep up with the flow, you shouldn't be doing it before you drive, just like you shouldn't drinke before you drive.

angry pothead is angry
I am a professional, albeit graphic designerbut I don't think it hampers me in the ways that seem to frustrate you, maybe its more about the person than the substance at the end of the day.
Haha, was about to say
I doubt you will be able to do the same in the financial world, so yes in some lines of work it is a possibility that it will not harm your productivity and / or ability.

Look bro, your girl is your girl and all, but it seems like you would be better off without her.
It seems like she's not going anywhere in life either, job hopping is pointless if you are not qualified.
If she had a degree or something she could at least look for something better in the meanwhile.
