If it is negatively impacting your life then it is a problem. If you have depression you should speak to a medical professional about it rather than self medicating, if medical cannabis is right for you they will prescribe it.

I mean, if smoking weed is the only thing you do for fun you're obviously going to feel miserable off of it.

if you're missing out on things you want to do in life, purely because of the usage of this substance, then it's an addiction.

my suggestion? go on that date high as absolute BALLS lol

I get what other folks are saying about addiction etc but I'll throw this out there..

There is a difference between addiction and dependency. They are 2 different things.

If it helps you, then you may rely on it. Think of medication. You aren't addicted to an antidepressant, but you are dependant on it.

This may be that for you. Or it may be addiction. If you "need" to be high to function, it's probably addiction. You should take a break and talk to your Dr.

But if it helps you, genuinely helps you, then what harm is it doing? I mean really, ask yourself that. Think of your situation in the third person. Objectively.

I got into the habit of smoking it everyday, even while working since I work from home, I started for the same reason as you also, weed would make everything feel better.

One thing you gotta remember is weed isn't actually changing your life, how you feel while stoned is absolutely possible for you to feel that way while not stoned.

I would suggest trying to take longer breaks off it, you will probably feel really shit and be moody to those around you for a few days, but once you break the cycle it becomes alot easier, also being productive helps my mood, almost works as good as being stoned.

Just my anecdotal experience here, but it sounds like your self medication plan of using cannabis for depression isn't working.
I frequently combat depressive and high anxiety periods and find that weed doesn't specifically help with those feelings. What it does help is my sleep so i can at least rest instead of staying up all night thinking about things i can't change anyway. With that said, consider cutting back a bit and restricting your consumption to just before bed, and start working with a counsellor so you can start at a root cause of your depression. I hope things turn around for you soon :)

Weed (THC specifically) impacts dopamine levels.

"What Happens When Dopamine Levels Rise Due To The Effects Of THC?

Elevated dopamine levels trip the brain’s reward system, causing feelings of pleasure, satisfaction, and achievement. Dopamine can also make time seem to go slower as mental activity speeds up, with increases to libido, energy, and focus.

But, if dopamine levels in your system stay too high for too long, the body will close off some dopamine receptors for a while, even after your high wears off. 

This drops dopamine synthesis in your body, blunting the pleasure you would normally feel from other things in your life like food, physical contact, hobbies, and achievement.

This lack of enjoyment from other activities is a common symptom experienced by heavy marijuana users and those who abuse other drugs like opioids or amphetamines."

So, yeah, like others have said, take longer breaks.

I got chs from smoking dabs all day. It sucks. What you are describing is addiction. You are psychologically dependent on weed (addicted). You have to make the change, and stop getting high all the time. It will actually be hard and probably take you a long ass time. Good luck.

I know weed isn't addicting

Wrong. It doesn't make a chemical dependence; but you can still become addicted to it psychologically. Addiction can apply to anything.

The fact you admit to it negatively impacting your life is a sign you should cut back or quit. That's addiction. It's problematic when it's problematic and you've already stated how it is problematic for you.

If you're always packing phat bowls, rolling blunts, hitting bongs, it's gonna turn you into the laziest version of yourself. Get away from the stereotypical weed culture; that shit's for kids.

Go on a tolerance break (at least a week, maybe a month if you're a heavy user), and when you come back, don't go full throttle. Microdose. It means taking one or a couple of small hits and waiting 4-6 hours, maybe longer. Stick to this regimen like a prescription. For what it's worth, I haven't had a break in almost 3 years and I never feel saturated by it.

I also feel that smoking flower (and sometimes even vaping flower) can make me feel groggy and tired. Concentrates (live rosin, badders, other waxes) hit cleaner, taste so much better, and don't stop me from whatever project I've got lined up. Stay the fuck away from oil cart pens, because propylene glycol shouldn't be inhaled and a lot of the oils/carts are made poorly. Pick sativa-dominant strains if you want to feel more active, both physically and mentally.

Anything can be addicting, including social media.
