i might take my first real break soon

so a buddy of mine is in trouble with the law.

if it all blows over with the least potential trouble for him, then in a couple months he may be able to smoke again (he got in trouble at the very end of a probation, and the incident for which he was originally on probation had been old history at the time the charges were placed, so if he's lucky the lawyer can get it delayed and tried as a seperate issue rather than blatant parole violation. this would mean no jailtime if it works out this way)

anyway, this is the friend for which i recently ordered the spice gold. we were talking today, and talking about how low my tolerance would be were i to quit smoking for a few months. until he could smoke again, too.

now the first night my other friend (his brother) got back from serving in the army over in korea, we got him really, really stoned on some very nice weed.

the look on his face was great! all goofy and grinning and what have you...

so i was thinking....spice isnt weed, but i could definitely get by with smoking it instead of pot for a couple months. it would definitely be enough to keep my mind off weed for a while. i was thinking get one last bag of pot on payday, and then take a break for 2 or 3 months maybe, if i can hold out that long.

i mean, the look on a persons face when they smoke good pot after NOT smoking for a long time....man.....i want to feel the way that person looks like he feels.....

it would probably be good for me, anyway. spice doesnt cloud my mind quite as much and would give me a nice break from proper THC and seriously lower my tolerance until i smoked again....it would pretty much be good all around...i am only considering this at the moment, but i am considering it rather seriously.

 

I was so upset when I stopped getting those mind-bending highs, that I actually quit for two weeks just to drop my tolerance down. It worked, now I do that (except its just for a week) like once a month.

I'd say three months might be a little overkill.

 

It's easy, first week is very boring and everything is just ugh, but after that you become yourself again.

 

i'm myself regardless. and i haven't smoked almost anything at all recently

 

I've never actually taken a real break, but I've noticed that after the first day or two, the urge to smoke really decreases. The first day or so, I'm like "Damn, I really wanna get high." After the second day, I could smoke, or I could not smoke, it doesn't matter as much.

 

not me. i just wanna smoke, smoke, smoke. since i was 16 years old i've smoked pot virtually every chance i've had.

its rare to turn down a hit...i have to be high as fuck already.

any breaks i've had have almost invariably been incomplete (a smoke here or there in the middle) and almost universally been imposed upon me, rather than done by choice.

i think it might be time to actually go a LONG time without pot. 2 months of not smoking after 6 years of smoking pretty much continuously would do me wonders, and would not be overkill.

and fuck, after a few days my tolerance is substantially lower, but still present and very quickly rebuilt.

i bet 2 or 3 months will entirely eliminate my tolerance. after that first hit i'll be FUCKED....

so i dunno. i think its a good idea...one last small bag and then call it quits for a while...

 

if you've been smoking for six years, a break for a couple of months will certainly do no harm.

 

^ I agree. I've been on a mandatory break for about a month now, maybe more. And I feel great!

 

I have seen so many of these "I am taking a break" threads in here, they are only equalled in population by the "I can't get weed" threads. It seems strange to me. I wish the people looking could find the hook ups for you people quiting and the world might find harmony eh?
And thus, no breaks for The Kid. There will be plenty of time to not smoke when I am dead.

 

Same here.

 

Taking a break is good. After six months no smoking, I am getting high like I used to off of a few hits these days. Last Night for example. I smoked a bowl of soem good shit between three heads, I was ripped off my ass all night. If you feel like you need the break I say go ahead and do it. All that can come out of it is good.
