Whats a better alternative to smoking weed?
Ive not been doing it for long, but its definitely something to do when I'm bored. I just moved across states so for now its a substitute as to going out with friends till that starts happening again. I don't do it often so i don't want the whole " weed is bad because" speech because most people who say that haven't tried it.
I don't know what I'm expecting as to answers that may help, but i thought ide ask.
haha i wasn't really expecting my "solutions" would be something else to smoke, or start drinking, but whatever i guess

Well for some people smoking weed is a form of escapism. A way to escape the problems they don't wanna deal with.
So what better way to quit weed than to use another form of escapism!
Video Games! Maybe World of Warcraft. It's like a whole new world you can get engulfed in, and it's an online game, so it's an opportunity to meet some new internet buddies, and socialize with others.
So you're not a video game junkie... Maybe try exercising. Get a gym membership to like a 24 hour fitness or something. It relieves stress and takes your mind off things while getting you in better shape, although it is better to go with a workout partner. Another option is taking up a sport such as golf, or basketball. All good ways to meet new people.
So, you don't like exercising either. Try taking up an instrument like guitar or piano, or some other artistic outlet, like poetry or writing.
If none of this helps then keep smoking, you're a lost cause!

I found I used smoking weed and drinking more as a form of escapism than a way to fill in time or dealing with feelings and situations. It can be social and you can have a good time but you do need to be aware of the reasons you are doing it. Too much of anything is a bad thing and not understanding why you are taking these things can lead to abuse.
My suggestion would be to learn meditation or start a hobby that you are passionate about. Maybe you like writing, art, music, exercise, computers, coding, to name a few. These will give you a sense of fulfillment and a natural high, making you feel better about yourself. You could also join a sporting or hobby group in your area and start meeting more people.
Be patient. It won't be long before you have friends and a reliable social network again.

What you should do is focus on things you are interested in when you are smoking weed. Find a hobby or something you like to do anyway, no matter if you are high or not. Of course, being high can make these things seem much more interesting and fun, but if you get into the habit of doing whatever it is you enjoy or are good at when you smoke, you should grow quickly to the point where you want to do that hobby/thing even without smoking weed, and then weed won't be so important anymore (which is not a bad thing, by the way. Weed DOES get old/boring after awhile).
