I don't really smoke the herb that much anymore but it seems like you had some disfunctional stoner ex boyfriend or something, because this post is a bunch of nonsense.
just because someone choses to smoke weed everyday does not mean they are "medicating"
just as people watch TV everyday, have a cup of joe everyday, read a book, people like to "entertain" themselves in different way.
weed is more of a hobby then it is a vise, it's very hard for people with even the most addictive personalities to become addicted to it.
shopping and sex too eh?
maybe you should just lock yourself in a dark room and hope for the best.
I guess chatting on C & C is probably a vise too and anybody who does it daily is using it as a crutch!
