My Marijuana Story. Why I Quit and Why im Satisfied with my Decision to quit.

It seem like it was more of you personality that fucked you over not the weed. Don't blame the drug, blame yourself. I used to be somone who smoke over a half ounced a day on a regular basis and smoked daily regardless but as I've matured I realized that, that was all I was doing so now a smoke usualy once before bed and heavily only on weekends and special occasions. I find smokin 1 fat J before bed after work and school is much more satisfying then smokeing 10 blunts and doing nothing all day. Weed dosn't "change" people. Only you can control who you want to be.

 

Serious withdrawal symptoms? Do opiates everyday for a month, then you'll see what serious withdrawal symptoms are. Quitting weed is really not that hard, it just takes a shred of self-control. Quitting harder drugs after being addicted you need a shitload of willpower, you need to change your life around so your not around the drug. I could easily pass on a blunt if I wanted to if a bunch of my friends were smoking around me, but if all my friends were doing oxycontin around me, I would have a much harder time. It's all in your head man.

 

whatever, no sympathy from me.

plus, you ever hear of a vaporizer? or pollution? you know, pollution is really bad for you. we should all quit inhaling pollution. everyone! quit now! ....

...

>>Passes out<<

 

no, but i totally would. thats like 5 minutes "work" for $20-60 worth of weed.

thats like 200+ to 600+ an hour....

 

^^^lol fookin stoner:spliff:

 

lol..

 

lol quittin weed took a lot of willpower for me...and IM SURE harder, more addicting drugs are WAYYYY harder to quit doing, but where a lot of people go wrong, and where i went wrong, is thinkin i could smoke daily for a long period of time, and then quit easily....b/c its not REALLY an "addicting" drug, but this is not true, its not easy to quit, and it IS an addicting drug, and people the smoke daily for a longgggg longg time CANT just stop easily.

But i mean it is what it is, and what happened, happened. It was fun while it lasted but im not planning on ever being that stoner i was, who looks foward to the next blunt and fixes his whole day AROUND smokin weed.

TopNotchStoner, u have a good point...i appriciate ur feedback.
I mean im not sayin marijuana cant be used in a GOOD way, especially for people with ADHD and Depression...and other stuff...

Basically what im trying to SAY in the big picture is DONT Abuse MArijuana, dont ABUSE any drug, if you decide to use it, than go ahead, but NEVER let it interfear with your life and family and freinds, and never get to apoint where u lose yourself.
(im not applying this to everybody, but all my freinds that smoke weed, defintily changed, they lost they're sense of humor, they lost all they're good freinds and they barrely talk to they're family, and im not sayin all weed smokers are like that but a lot of them BECOME that....)

 

i had A GOOD personality, people knew me as a person that is full or life, always excited always looking foward to goin out and socializing...but after i smoked weed a lot i was NONE of that...I still had fun smoking, but i lost all those qualities people remembered me for, and those things that people thought i was suddenly became something that seemed untrue, By just talking to me and looking at me, i seemed less interested in life and things i usedto be intrested in, and as soon as "WEED" came up, i got all exicited and felt like finally i found something im interested in, the problem WAS that was the ONLY THING..... SO WEED DID CHANGE ME, SHit....i didnt change myself. Of course i chose to smoke weed and its my fault, but weed isnt innocent hahaha it defintily changed me, and it changes everyone that smokes a lot, eventually (in one way or another)... <---- and some people think thats a reasonable price to pay

lol TopNotchStoner 3-4 blunts in one day/ sometimes being 1/8th blunts is kind of a lot of weed for one day haha donchu think? i mean i knew there was people that smoke wayyyy more than that, but still most people dont smoke more than a blunt a day u kno? but i see where ur coming from haha goin a O a day...hence the name "TopNotchStoner".

Peace

 

Weed is not addictive man, I can smoke for months straight without taking a break, and stop for weeks easily. I never have any withdrawal symptoms, it's all in your head, if you psyche yourself out then your gonna have problems.

 

i beg to differ..."Guitar"...
Weed is psychologically addictive..its a fact.
If you say weed addiction is all iin your head than u might believe that ANY addiction is all in your head (stimulants, opium, etc) Its not true. and it DOES have withdrawal symptoms... im not the only one that has gone through it.

 

Ask my girlfriend.....

I was joking...... But she didn't think I was.

 

Ummmm......."Psychologically addictive" LITERALLY means it's all in your head.

 

Word. I was going to say the same thing, except I would never smoke a half ounce a day. But I smoke dro or exotic only, so I could never afford that haha. Maybe an 8th or 3 grams a day out of bongs/pipes.. Now I smoke like an 8th over a period of 7-10 days.

 

Pretty much haha.

 

As far as the withdrawal symptoms you listed, hebrew; anxiety. depression, etc....all of that is purely psychological, as well. It's a type of situation where you just didn't know what to do with yourself, if you weren't smokin weed. I'm the same way. As long as I have weed, everything else comes so easily; I'm always in a good mood, never depressed, and always ready to tackle whatever obstacles I may encounter, as long as I have weed. You became so accustomed to smokin some herb and being stoned all the time, that you just didn't feel right if you weren't doing so. A psychological addiction, or a habit, is just that.......a habit. It's hard to break any habit. Some people don't let it become a "habit" though. I have allowed that to happen, but I don't mind it, which is where you and I differ.

 

It depends on the lifestyle everyone wants to live. Some people can have a Weed habit and still live a very regular productive life. Others might be more adversely affected by a habit, and wouldn't want one forming because they couldn't maintain a stable and productive way of life. That is my reality. I have school, and I couldn't smoke every day and still keep up to date with everything effectively.

Lately though I have been able to have a smoke-spree. This past week has been Spring Break, and I have all my classes off the same week as my Brother. We can meet up at my dad's house (easier to hide that we smoked it there than my dorm) and smoke while he's at work. He just calls from time to time (I think he's a little suspicious maybe) and I have to do my best to sound as not stoned as I can. But as you know a lot of people have voices that get deep when stoned, and I am among them.

I don't want to crave it the week I get back though. That will make me feel bad, and I already spent a lot of my birthday money. I want to be able to keep it for guitar pedals, but I hope I don't crave it too hard so that I end up buying weed with all the money. I do feel my tolerance has built up a bit, so that might mean the come down is a little worse. I've never not been able to handle Weed though.

 

^^^Eggzakly! You are still smoking weed and maintaining your responsibilities, even though you don't smoke as much as some people, which is where I'm coming from. You are proof that hebrew's problem wasn't the weed, but the problem was actually himself. He was letting weed rule his life.

For most of us, weed doesn't rule our lives; it's just a major part of our lives.

 

I didnt let it rule my life more than anyone else that smokes weed TopNotch.....
I still managed to study/ get good grades, go to the gym, and do what i gotta do, u kno? i did what i normally enjoyed doing, i just did it high lol...and it eventually became old and not fun b/c i didnt even get that high like i used to anymore and i had to smoke SOOO much to get a little buzz, so it felt like getting high wasnt even worth it...and then when i wasnt high...i felt like straight ASS, all burntout, and lost my apitite, and didnt fall asleep (and these symptoms wherent in my head lol..these were physicial btw). this doesnt only apply to myslef, it also applys to many of my freinds as well.

So it didnt RULE my life, it was just addictive b/c it was fun, and once it was abused to apoint where my tolerance was really high, i didnt get that fun feeling anymore, but i didnt feel normal at all either, u know what i mean???

 

once you smoke a lot and basically everytime u eat your high for a few weeks....then when ur not high and u try to eat something, its just forced, you never get hungry like you normally would unless you high...is this just me? or does it happen to other ppl as well? b/c my roomates had the same problem... Tell me this is all in "our heads" lol...

and what about when ur high when you fall asleep for a few weeks??? then when u try to fall asleep sober/ not high, you find it realllly hard to fall asleep, or harder than it normally is at least.... Is this just me? b/c my roomates have the same exact probelm AS WELL..... Tell me this is "all in our heads" lol

 

All you had to do is stop smoking for a week or two and your tolerance would go back down a little, and you could get stoned again. We all have to do that.
