    In the past two weeks I've smoked about of 30 times, atleast twice daily, and have gotten to the point where if I smoke, I hardly get high, and feel like shit, but if I don't smoke, I get depressed and bored out of my skull.

    So I'm gonna stop smoking for a little while, and hope this stops, and get my tollerence down too. My question is, though, how long should I stop for? A week? Two? Three? A month?

    A week would be good, but it wouldn't be anything compared to what it would do for you if you took a month off. I took about 2 months off, which is too much, but I did anyway. And when I came back..wow, 1 hit I was good. It's about 2 or 3 weeks later and 1 or 2 hits still gets me pretty good.

    yeah, i almost got kicked out of school but a couple kids took the cake for me and a couple other kids (they weren't coming back the next year) and I took a THREE MONTH BREAK!!!! Boy, that one hit was like smoking a damn bowl. And three hits was like smoking a gram.

    Taking a break every so often is a great idea. You'll find it to be very useful. After a week or so you may actually find yourself to be LESS bored than you were. There are huge benefits to taking sober time. Actually, until yesterday, I hadn't smoked in 2 months (after smoking pretty much daily for the past year). When I stopped, I never had any cravings for weed or anything. It wasn't too difficult. The first week, though, I did have insomnia and headaches, but they went away after the first week.

    Even after only 2 weeks of not smoking, my lung capacity had greatly increased, my voice became clearer, I felt more confident and happier in general, increased energy, no more headrushes when standing up, decreased decision anxiety, increased motivation (I've spent a LOT more time on my art and my writing--this has probably been my most productive time period!), I regained the ability to yawn (which a decreased lung capacity had almost totally eliminated I kid you not), and more. Everything continued to improve greatly up to the one month mark. Being able to take a full, deep breath, is really wonderful.

    From taking time off I learned MANY good lessons which I won't forget. One is that daily smoking causes me problems. I will never again allow myself to smoke daily. I just don't see any point to it anymore (and I realize now that there WAS no point to smoking every day). I now know how easy it is to smoke in moderation. There's no reason to overindulge in anything (the Middle Road is the best path to walk). I realized how much my life revolved around smoking weed, and after I stopped, I was able to start planning other things, like focusing on my music, art, and meditation, and planning time for things I would normally blow off, like reading, which I would never be able to focus on doing while high. I think my life has greatly improved because of this.

    Now, this isn't to say that smoking marijuana is bad at all! That's not the case! What I mean to say is that smoking daily is a bad idea. Smoke every now and then, but don't make it a habit.

    I really think everybody who's a daily smoker should stop, take at least a month off, and reflect. You won't be sorry.

    breaks are fantastic. Im taking another one at the moment, gone 2 weeks now, thanks to a vacation :D

    i started noticeing before the cruise that my tolerance was really high, where i got to the point where not even a bowl would get me that high, or it would, but it didnt seem as potent. Hopefully my lungs are clearing out pretty well.

    i dont have the money to buy any, and i probably wont for another week or so, its for my own good. I think once i get enough money for an 1/8, i will start smoking again.
