see i dont like smoking alone cuz the two times i did it.. first time i fell asleep at 830pm second time i got so depressed i dunno im sure it could be good, and when i smoke alone i just feel like a scumbag. Its just a personal preference
smoking alone sucks ass, i got super paranoid and started crying. but imight try it tonight a lil bit cause i have to finish writing some songs.
I feel about the same all the time, whether I'm on a break from weed or if I'm not. But I only smoke two or so times a week (sometimes more, usually less), and not a ton per session, I'm a lightweight. I also only do it at night (almost always) so it's not really "filling time", no more than the tv or computer might. Actually, it is the computer that I find more addictive and thus negetive. Weed is just a fun thing to do sometimes. I also know that it has enhanced my spiritual life, as well as helped pull me out of that constant depression I was in since middle school. It's not a cure-all of course, but you can't judge others for still wanting to use it. I fully give you props though, for deciding it wasn't right for you and quitting, no matter what your friends might say or anything. You should be an inspiration to us all. Way to stand on your own. For myself, I think I'll still smoke for a while.
Wow..nice job man, i totally agree with what you are saying and totally understand how you feel, however i still feel that the experience will come to an end sooner or later..but not anytime soon for me. Grats
I agree with the caterpillar. Induvidual choice is one thing, and preaching is another. I think its good that you decided that weed isnt for you and had the motivation to quit all together, but that doesn't mean you have the right to assume that weed shouldnt be done by anybody. I was in a situation kind of opposite to yours. When i was 15 I got drunk for my first time, and yeah i'll admit it was fun for a while, but it started to get to the point where I just didnt enjoy myself when I was drinking, either large or small quantities, I also noticed the ridiculous amount of money I spent on it. It was around this time that I smoked weed for the first time, I've been smoking ever since (about 3 years now), I find that the effects of weed are perfect for me whereas you may find that alcohol has effects that suit you more. I haven't drank anything, not even a beer for about a year and a half now. I've also found that the use of a vaporizer eliminates any negative effects caused by smoking, which is why I bought one. Smoking in moderation (I usually toke once or twice a week) also reduces the chances of psychological dependancy. My point is, you quiting weed was a personal decision based on whatever circumstances you may be in, please dont tell us that we shouldnt do weed because we are fully capable of making decisions based on our own circumstances. Respect other peoples decisions, because whats right for you isnt neccesarily right for all. PEACE
that is rather judgmental & narrow minded thinking, i smoke rarely at best, sometimes going 3 months betweeen smoking & might have 1 or 2 weeks a year i smoke more regularly, & really those couple weeks i sure do enjoy myself i agree being stoned 24/7 isnt ideal for most people but for some its ok..1 of the most brilliant guys i know, has 6 phds, has been the ceo of 3 top companies, & probably hasnt stopped smoking more then an hour in the past 40 years. but for the average person, occassional use would have no affect at all on the level of happiness in theyre lives, you havent smoked in a couple months, good for you, but i wouldnt doubt that sometime down the road you find a happy & healthy desire to smoke on occassion. when i was young i smoked 24/7 too, & was stoned all the time, & i didnt conceisly decide to quit, just one day i set my bag aside & kept forgetting to smoke it..for 9 long months..& when i started again i smoked just allittle, every now & then & was happy that way..if you smoke too much its definately good to clean out for awhile.. but that doesnt mean you should assume that everyone smoked like you did & needs to stop for good
Fuck that shit. I'm vegetarian, I'm in good health, I go to college, I'm an energetic youth. And I smoke madd weed. Edit: What the fuck? You cried? ...Because of weed? Jesus christ... maybe you shouldn't smoke weed.
i found the same thing i started drinking like crazy i was spending alot of money and i lost firends and didnt liek how i accted when i was drunk but weed hasnt hurt my life i also have rules to smoking to,i dont smoke every day,i onyl smoke when i got no home work or other work,i dont smoke over 4 bowl packs in one day(once in a while i will but not that offten and if i do go over that its only like 6 or 7,i stoped drinking and my life got so much better so that wroked for me but might not work for your forgeting every one is different no one else is like you
EDIT* Since i have this first page i'm going to use this to clear things up: after reading my original post i guess it did sound a little preachy...that was not my intent... i'm simply trying to say that alot of people should consider where they are in their lives, how the go about their daily, and think long and hard about why they need weed, of course alot of ppl will continue to use, alot of people wont take any of this with a grain of salt, i'm just saying that there is more to life than smoking weed, and if that is all you and your friends do etc. maybe u should re-consider your situation I do not hate weed, in fact, i love it, some of the funniest, happiest, trippiest, moments of my life were in the 5 years of smoking, and i wouldnt give that back for the world, but once my friends who smoked weed very often moved away/faded out of my life, i realized that there was so much more than getting stoned, or smoke for enhancement, and like somone else pointed out, yea i'm healthy now, but sometime in the future i will probably want to, or will smoke again which will most likely be true...but it will be a very very rare occurance, [like eating at arby's] but i'm sure i will enjoy it either way. the bottom line is, do what u want, i couldnt care less if some fucking loser browsing this forum disagrees with me, i'm just sharing what has happened to me, and i'm sure some feel the same, some feel differently, either way, it seems like alot of people on here should re-consider their situation in life, because it's gonna be rough when u are down the road and u realize the whole time that pot was your downfall.
Good for you... you're a born again Straight Edge... whatever works for you... good... dont try preachin to me that all of a sudden you stop smokin pot you think all smokers are bad type shit... ya live your life.. i'll live mine... i dont see eachothers lifestyles effect eachother... so just keep on keepin on with what you do.. and i'll keep doin what i do
i never singled out anyone, mentioned any names, and i posted on how i do not want to preach to anyone in the previous post... if u are taking offense maybe it's because your life is similar to what i'm describing? haha i sound like a fucking minister
Nothing amplifies the beauty of nature for me better than weed, and don't get me started on those stoned sunsets. But I don't smoke a lot, maybe once a week. I think Moderation keeps you from becoming dependant and increases your will power, I mean I like staying healthy and exercising but nothing is more relaxing after a week of work and staying fit than a gram to the head.
I'm going to go smoke and grill some chicken... enjoy the warm weather while it's still early fall. I smoke if I don't have work or school, but I usually like getting the work done first... and every now and then having a wake and bake before doing so makes it go a little faster, but it'll tire you.
hey man to stop is you're choice.. i still do it because i'm young, its good, i'm very healthy, and cause it's my choice. I get stoned about once a week. good times to you whether stoned or not dude, boothy
i agree with you in the fact that many people spend way to much time just sitting around and smoking alot of pot and get nothing out of it, i think thats just a waste of time and money. Not to say it isnt fun every few months to do that, but to do it multipule times a week is just ridicolous! not that everybody does, but some people do... for me, i like to mainly smoke before i play guitar cause for some reason, everything just seems to flow so much better. I admit that i smoke more then i should, and i should cut down alot, but im enjoying life in doing so. im happy for you though, that you feel alot better and healthy. Keep it up
