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

"hide after experiencing reality?" ...is being high ur reality?

I am not scared of being high, im not scared of a open mind, shrooms opens ur mind a lot more than weed and i experimented with thaat as well. my point is that many people like urself deny that weed has bad effects, they're too hyped up about the good efffects they forget it is bad as well..... since its so "great" ppl do it more and more until they become dailty users, and u might think its the BEST THING that you could of done to yourself but it is really not. i understand u love weed, and it gets u high and u have a good time, but once ur in fantasy land for however long ur going on a marijuana binge lol and then u come back to reality after being high daily for 2-3 years YOU are going to feel a come down. some ppl deny it, i dont. im smart enough to know that weed is still a drug and using it frequently isnt going to do good, in the long run....i might feel good on the year im going to smoke weed daily on, but after not gettin high anymore ur body/ nerves/ and train of though is gonna fuck up. no one can convince me other wise, i experienced it personally, and i have seen other go through it. im not discouraging shit, im just sayin it as it is. im also saying it FUN to get high, and using it once in a while isnt THAT bad. it CAN be used responsbily but pppl find it easy to go overbored with it, in a way that isnt good for their mentality and their phyiscal well being.

 

Hebrew, you're a cool dude and everything, but you are being really one-sided on this. It's really NOT good for SOME people to smoke everyday....sure, but smoking daily really IS a very good thing for others, though certainly not everyone. Some people don't experience the bad effects of daily smoking. There are many people who actually benefit from smoking everyday. What's best for you isn't always what's best for everyone else. On the same token, what's bad for you isn't always bad for everyone else. That's what I've been trying to point out throughout this entire thread; YOU experienced bad effects from weed, but thats not the case for everyone. It's time you realized that. Some people experience ZERO negative effects from daily tokage, and there's no reason we shouldn't continue smoking all day, everyday, if that's what we choose.

Personally, I haven't smoked for a week, because I'm trying to find a job and I need to be able to pass a piss test, just in case. I have experienced no problems, no withdrawal, no depression whatsoever. It is ALL case-sensitive and everyone has different experiences with the same substance. Just let us be and let us smoke our bud without TRYING to make us second-guess ourselves, because WE ALL know what is best for us and you know what's best for you.

 

dude, no one is trying to convince you your wrong.. but why are you coming on here trying to convince people that there is something wrong with weed?

First of all, you keep saying crap like what you wrote above.... Why do you say it? Is it just something your making up in your head because it sounds logical to you? I can say your wrong... but thats because I've also read a lot about the substances I put in my body.. you say things, without even giving a single example, study, or any concreate evidence to support your argument.

Second of all... like "Topnotch" says... you seem like a cool dude... so why come on here and try to convince us that there is something wrong with herb... thats about the eqivalant of me going to the religous forums to convince the the religous ones that there is no god....

dude, just let people be... just as we have no problem with you being the way you are...

 

o.k shut up assholes

Good story LIFE IS AN ADDICTION A FEELING IS AN ADDICTION

dont blame yourself blame the dark side

may the force be with you

 

HE HAS THE RIGHT TO BE ONE MINDED BRO its your one mind that will pull you through it. i guess everyone has the right to have a tough opinion, but it'll only make ya stronger

 

I am not trying to convince anyone anything. Again, u guys are saying that people could smoke Daily and have ZERO negative effects lol, thats absurd. I understand where u guys are coming from b/c i used to love weed just as much haha... but It doesn't make sense. i dont need "studys" or statistics to prove my claim. weed changes ur body chemistry and ur brain chemistry when u get high, everyone knows that...and when ur high for a long time and then ur not high anymore, ur obviously going to feel an "adjustment" lol or withdrawal symptoms how some other ppl call it

sayin u can smoke for years and then quit and b completely normal in sense like you NEVER SMOKED B4. doesnt make sense. ying yang. cause and effect, every action has a reaction. I never told ANYONE TO quit. Im not trying to get anyone to quit....

Im sayin that ppl UNDERESTIMATE it. like i mentioned above, ppl think that there is no consequences to smoking daily, and that is not true... call it an Adjustment or w/e u may call it.......but every YING has a YANG.

and i never said that what applies to me applies to eveyone else as well, or whats best for me is best for everyone else, but being high for many many years is not the BEST for anymone. you might have a good time then and there but once u stop smoking ur not going to feel the BEST, ur not even going to feel NORMAL for a few days, due to the normal adjuestment one experiences after smoking for a long time, but after a few weeks the adjustment effects DO fade off..... what i believe is some stoners mistake, is that they think its completely harmless, there is no side effects, no withdrawal symptoms, no harm is done at all, etc....THIS IS NOT TRUE...

some ppl that have been smoking for years and years and then quit are not going to feel sober for a whileeeee, waiting 2-3 days and then saying IM FINE and then smokin more, isnt considered being sober, or being "like u were" b4 u started smoking again. idk how to explain what im trying to explain lol......... Weed isn't the DEVIL lol, it can be used responsibly, but it still is a DRUG....every drug has its share of side effects/ after effects/ and "adjuestment periods", im not sayin that u CANT smoke every once and while and be STRAIGHT, but smoking daily is not good, i mentioned all the reasons in all the other posts in this thread., im not trying to convince u guys to quit, im not trying to discourage marijuana use, im just trying to get u guys to reconsider whether or not Marijuana is REALLY harmless... b/c i REALLY thought it had no negitive effects, and i REALLY thought i can quit w/e i want without a problem, but i was VERY VERY WRONG. i understand my mistake, thats why i think i could still manage to smoke..no i use it with more responsibility and i dont smoke more than snoop dog does on a stage and behind the scenes like i used too haha.

 

Dude, read what you wrote above... I smoke daily, and no, I have only positive effects to show for it... Like I said, it is a wonderful herb, and has made me better than the rest of the weird (I think they are called normal) people in this world... I have been married for 18 years, and the world is fucking amazing dude... From my observations, I have seen a lot of our acquaintances who don't smoke - go through hard divorces, have family problems, infidelity problems, thier kid are not doing well... Its a sick fucked up world out there dude... and I think I'll keep mine just the way its been working for me buddy...

Anyhow, again, read what you wrote up there.. your not trying to convince people but... your laughing at us, and saying our opinions are absurd????? Man, you really need to ease up on people...

Anyhow, whatever, if you want to bash, hey, its none of my business what you think of me... so I'm done...

Peace bro.
Soc

 

im not trying to bash anyone, i just dont agree with what people think, when ppl say they can smoke for years and have NO effects what so ever, i dont believe that...at all. im sorry if i offended u, and if weeed is workin for u keep doin what u do... however i DO believe that anyone that smoked ALOT is effected by weed with withdrawal symptoms and other effects, but if u think those effects are GOOD, than go for it. I however disagree with ppl when they say weed is harmless, its a drug, it changes ppls physical and mental chemistry when u get high obviously...i mean my idea are not EXTREME lol, u probably heard what i brought up in this thread many times b4 from many different ppl. I still believe it is absurd to believe u can use a drug several times daily and NOT be effected by it. thats just my opinion though.

i apologize if i offended u.

 

all i gotta say is its your fault, things are not meant to be abused if you cant handle it dont do it in the first place. people can easily smoke for years and quit like it was nothing its called not abusing the drug...

 

Hebrew.....You are saying people shouldn't smoke everyday because it is bad for you. That's not ALWAYS the case. It was bad for YOU to smoke everyday. Plenty of people smoke all day everyday with ZERO negative effects, which is a FACT. Of course, when we stop, it's not gonna be like we never smoked, because we've already seen the better side of life, and it's never gonna be the same, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, is it? You say weed changes people; MOST things changes people, and weed is no different. Music changes people. Having a job changes people. Falling in love changes people. Just because something changes someone, doesn't mean it's a bad thing. Changes can be good......very good.

Personally, I think weed has been nothing but good for me, as well as plenty of others. Though, it's not very good for everyone, because some people let all of there priorities get out of whack, or they just let there weed-use control their lives. Not everyone is the same and some people actually SHOULD smoke everyday, believe it or not.

 

wow, you're the reason why marijuana is still illegal. "ooh, herb is a drug, its bad for you". yeah, so is drinking. and smoking cigarettes. And eating anything with preservatives or food coloring. And breathing today's air.
you don't see, or perhaps it scared you that marijuana is a very enlightening experience that puts you on a whole other level of concsiousness. it seems to me that you're so focused on holding onto your phsyical body you'd rather not expand your mind. I smoke knowing full well my lungs are already fucked up as it is, and I know there's a good chance it could make it worse. But I also know that the body is a vessel, a vehicle, and the body is capable of healing itself. i'm personally willing to make the sacrifice in order to reach a "higher" level.

 

Agreed. I smoke almost everyday, and I love it. i know that after a long day of work I can come home and raise my concsiousness, meditate, and think. I've always been an artist; but let me tell you... after a good bowl or two of some sweet smelling dank, my creativity flows like Niagra Falls.
I do take breaks. If I'm sick, don't have time to smoke, or just want to lower my tolorance for a bit, I take a break. I don't have withdrawl, I don't freak out, i don't get depressed... the most I get is a bit bored.

 

Weed is a beautiful PLANT. it is an herb, something grown naturally and given to us from Mother Earth. Don't hate!

 

never did hate. it is a herb that when its set on fire hahaha it changes ur body chemistry uhhh like any other drug would. YES IT IS A DRUG, it is safer than any other drug, but its is STILL A DRUG. im not hating dude

and i never said cigerettes or alcohol are better for you, but ppl who smoke cigerettes know its bad most of the time lol they dont DENY it, they're not like cigerettes have good effects, and no WITHDRAWAL symptoms....same with alcohol. dont get it twisted, i believe weed does more good than any other drug out there, but ppl seem to forget as with every drug it has some bad effects as well....

 

How does it change your brain and body chemistry? The only negative side I see of marijuana for me is putting smoke in my lungs. I don't even notice sometimes when I go without it for a couple days, and I'm a huge pothead. I've never heard of one person "withdrawling" from weed.

 

Its sad how such a beautiful plant scares some people because it opens your mind. A lot of things you consume change your chemistry. Its called vitamins, nutrients, etc. Just because something affects your body or changes you doesn't mean its bad.
I know I'm a better, more tolorant, more enlightened individual ever since i started smoking. I'm aware that what our perception shows us isn't everything there is to reality and the world. there's a lot more out there... and perhaps marijuana can help bring our human minds to that level.
Just because you can't handle Mary Jane, doesn't mean you should lock her up or hate her. Sometimes reality is just too scary for some.

 

like i said 20times b4 in this thread I ENJOYED SMOKING WEED, i ENJOYED the expansion of the mind, i did shrooms as well, what expands ur mind more than that (and acid)....???

thats not my point. damn....and i can handle maryjane its just that after smoking it so much, i feel like its not worth it, its not as good as u and other ppl SAY it is...in MY opinion, u guys are obsessed with it lol like its ur savior or somethin haha if thats what makes u happy go for it, but im just sayin I FOUND that its not as good as ppl SAY it, i mean it is as good as ppl say it is for the most part, but ppl say its completely harmless which IS BULL SHIT...its not ocmpletely harmless. I can handle the negitive effects, and i still do smoke weed........i just dont think its worth it....if u ask me right now what i remember from the first 6 monthes i went to college ( i smoked daily) i wouldnt be able to answer u, or tell u what happened, or how i enjoyed myself lol, i dont have any CLEAR memories, only scattered memories hear and there which i dont remember how long ago those memories were.....idk i just dont think ITS AS GOOD as ppl make it to be, and i BELIEVE it does has some negitive effects, as well as positive...but ppl KEEP denying its negitive effects.

 

FOR ALL THOUGHS WHO THINK WEED IS BAD, OR A SIN, OR W/E WATCH THIS.

I've smoked tons of weed daily for over a year and quit cold turkey no problem for over a month....




Maybe it's just you?

 

so you're saying you enjoyed expanding your mind, but don't wanna do it anymore?
"Yeah, I enjoyed nirvana, but I don't wanna do it anymore."
Sure, the example may be a bit of an exaguration, but the point still stands.
I don't deny the health risks at all. I know full well what they are; any responsible smoker does.
