I'm done with weed.....

yea when I say health I'm not talking about smoke.... I don't do cigarettes either b/c of my health... don't assume I'm doing a dare speech b/c you have no evidence you're just doing generic come backs and not actually thinking of the other person... it's great that you're so passionate about weed but don't be so one noted when you talk to people. It's not healthy for me b/c I don't like myself when I do it and all it does is make me drowsy... I know a lot of adults who smoke weed and I don't think that they are immature but I want to get a job in the mental health field and if they find out I smoke pot I'm screwed... also I am going to need to teach people that weed isn't the best and there are bad things about it even if Dare does lie about people overdosing and hallucinating on it it still isn't right for everyone... I also don't want weed to turn into anything bigger... my bro started out with weed and than it became coke and X and meth and I remember he would be very abusive... he threatened to kill me a couple of times and that's why I also feel really uncomfortable around drugs just b/c I don't like the memories that come from the smell of weed and sitting with people who do harder drugs

That's great. If you ever decide to quit weed, give it a shot. I think you'll find you'll be surprised at how much of your mental faculties have withered and will blossom again. Being sober has never been more fun for me than it is now because I can see what weed did to my mind (after daily use).

1. Do yourself a favor. Google "Marijuana mental illness" "Marijuana brain damage" "marijuana lung cancer". You are worse than those DARE assholes, at least what they say is -half- true, what you are saying is utter bullshit; ie, "weed is a magical plant with no consequences".

2. Good job missing her point. What she meant was that that "thing" you hunt for when you're getting high, well that "thing" can be found in many, many, many other things, other simple and cheap things, like taking a bath, going for a walk, or sitting outside and watching the sunset.

Don't worry, we get what you're saying, it's just that you don't get what we're saying, because you're not at that point yet where you're looking at your life and saying "Is weed all it's cut out to be for me? Is it worth the health effects, the way it has made me a different person? Will I be happy or not happy on my deathbed, thinking back to my weed habit?" I thought about it and decided that I would not be happy. I want to die pure and myself, not tainted by any chemical, whether it be booze, THC, or antidepressants.

This is my one life, and I don't want to spend it stoned.

 

thank you so much for understanding my point

 

Cool man, I'm not gonna smoke for awhile either. I need to get my shit straight, GOOD LUCK.

 

I used to get paraniod off weed but I still countiuned to smoke weed becuase off the fact that it is less harmful then booze but now looking back I think I misunderstood that its just better for you psyically then ciggerattes and alcohol were as weed is a little more wrose on people mentally.

 

I usually don't smoke socially, i don't see weed as a social substance its more like a personal experience. Getting high gives you the power to close your mouth and open your mind, so i don't see the point in smoking when you are trying to hang out and talk and party(id rather drink).

i do smoke when i go to concert or to the movies with friends

 

props to everyone, good discush. at least when someone quits weed they can think back fondly of the times they had when stoned with friends, etc. if you quit heroin chances are you won't think back fondly of most of your smack memories. I just don't like it when ppl stop toking then look down on you for continuing it and saying you're missing out on something. This is rarer from whatI've seen. mostly there is no bad blood and no burned bridges with quitting herb, and that's what I see in this thread.

I think one thing lacking from public understanding here is not necessarily that weed has different but equally intense effects on ppl, but that weed actually inebriates some more than others. It's one thing to debate that the effects of weed on me are good and the effects of weed on you must be bad if you're going to quit, it's another matter to know that weed simply doesn't have as heavy effects on me, and doesn't change me in any fundamental way. for those who are more heavily influenced by pot, it might be less practical to balance weed with the rest of their life

 

yea man I have no problem with people smoking weed.. Because weed has done good for me also

1. My first time getting high was one of the best experiences of my life I would do anything to have that type of high again it took me to another planet.

2. Weed made me mature and think about my life and how I should stay on the right path. Read books and gain knowledge and do good in school.

3. It made me understand god better in a way. It made me realize you would have to be a complete FOOL to not believe there is a god. You have to be I mean seriously... (lets not have a religous discussion )

But it has done bad

1. I think it made me mature to fast I wish I was immature like my peers I know it sounds weird but you guys dont understand...

2. Facial hair?

3. I think it made me grow at a faster rate?

4. When I was using it a lot (2-3 times a week) it made me ANIT-SOCIAL I mean big time.. For some reason weed puts you on hush hush and sorta of makes you forget how to interact with people. Which sucks because I have always been super out going.

5. I think it changes the way you look.. not sure about it though ?

By the way I would like to point out I havent smoked in about 10 months untill like two weeks ago when I finnally said fuck it. And even before that I wasnt smoking heavy... I actually never was a heavy smoker. But there was a really small time period (1st semester of 9th grade) I was smoking quite a bit i would say.

 

I'm pretty sure weed isn't best for me. I have fun with it often, but I think in the realm of mind-alterants it's not perfect for me. I kinda decided to quit in a way. I decided I'm not paying for it, so if I smoke its because someone gives me weed or smokes me down, which is rarely. In fact, I used to pay for most of the weed for my lazy and/or jobless friends. I figure if I ever want to go back to smoking bunches, I'd have to setup a good grow instead of (indirectly) burning my money away.

 

haha. yes it is incredible how fundamentally different your weed lifestyle is when you grow most of your own. there were plenty of undesirable aspects back when I bought weed and mostly smoked with friends. there''s always the illegal, subcultural element with buying it (in which many other proper values are tossed out. ppl need to know that right and wrong still have meaning even if you smoke weed or do other drugs). but growing your own and in my case doing most of your smoking alone, you can more easily define weed and its r'ship to you. and u don't feel like your wasting anything or you're a loser. growing sinsemilla buds from seed and harvesting them can really connect you to the earth (as long as u r not in it for $$). I find it therapeutic and spiritually-infusing just to stare at my plants for a while

 

Agreed! I hate smoking just to get trashed. I enjoy Getting technical and try to speak my wisdom. :cheers2:
