Well first of all excuse my English, coz i’m just learning, i live in Canada but i’m from Colombia, i’m start to smoke weed when i was 16, now i’m 25 , of course in my home country when the weed is really ship an once is about 3 dollars, i became a heavy smoker since i was 20, and because is so ship i really smoke a lot,i thought that the stoner life style was great, nevertheless the last 4 years everything became worst for my addiction to marijuana, my memory it’s fuck up, the episodes of paranoia is every time worst, i feel depress when i don’t smoke, even is so difficult to learn new things by this point of my life, new things like the language that i need to speak now, this is the first time i’m thinking quit the habit but i’m afraid to the collaterals effects that this can bring me, so i hope survive to this battle against my mind..THANKS FOR THIS SITE IT’S GREAT SEE MORE PEOPLE WITH THE SAME TROUBLE THAN MINE.

I smoked pot since I was like 17, I’m now 41! Not many on here are more informed or experienced than I am, when it comes to this subject. I quit four weeks ago today! Not a day goes by when I dont think about it. I have been irritable, depressed, mood swings, shakey, no sexual desire, no appitite. Have lost about ten lbs. And I just started having these crazy dreams. Two or three a night, none good all bad. And I have night sweats, have been for weeks. I was a heavy smoker, about an OZ every three weeks or so. I dont smoke cigs, however in the last few years I have developed asthma, allergies, night cough, wheezing and I catch every cold that comes my way. My social abilities were hindered emensly and my ambition, well there was none! I was forced to quit, although I always wanted to. I’m a single father of a 6 y/o boy. Either my X or my “Biotch” neighbor called DCF on me! It was the best thing that ever happen to me! Despite all the negative side effects of quiting, which I’m sure will pass in time. There are allot of good things that have come out of it. I havent used my inhaler in weeks, the wheezing and cough is gradually going away. My energy level is through the roof. The weight loss has gotten rid of back problems and acid reflux ( which I suffered from daily). My bank accout is growing, the money I have saved is wonderfull. I dont have to worry about going to get the shit or driving home with it. What a pain in the ass! Or becomming a major a hole when things “dry up”. Which happens more and more often these days. And trying to hide it from my son and my job, which was not easy! Living a secret life, plain and simple! No more! I’m done! Not posting here to judge all you smokers that defend pot smoking. I used to be just like you! However for those of you that say its not addicting and its not bad for you. You couldnt be more WRONG! I’m living proof! 25 years of research in the making! Sooner or later it will catch up with you! Its an individual decision to get high or not to get high. I hope my personal experience may help someone out there who is going through the same thing! Hang in there and good luck!

Wow I really found some motivation here on this site. I’ve been smoking for three and a half years now, the first year I was an occassional, social smoker. Then the last two and a half I bottomed out and became a heavy, everyday smoker. The longest I’ve gone without smoking in the past three and a half years was four days. At first, it was fun, all the time. But then, as time went by, things changed. I started enjoying it less and less, and realized I was still in the same place I’d been in when I started smoking, while my friends and family were doing different things, growing, changing, etc. I’ve become extremely introverted and have shambled relationships, I avoid social situations and am having a hard time remembering my life before all of this. I feel like I came out of some pod in the lawn of the house I hardly even remember moving into months ago and just started existing or something. I use to be intelligent, and still am when sober. I’ve observed myself in retrospect for quite awhile now, and it lead to a long depression and a fun house of psychological bends and turns, which of course all boils down to me quitting. I’m ready to move on. I don’t want this to be what I do anymore. I’m not frowning upon it, and if someone can use it casually and be unaffected, congradulations. But not everyone can. My biggest problem has always been escapism, and this is where I’ve been hiding for the past few years. With MJ. I use to write, I use to be funny, I use to be me. I wanna be me again. I’m gonna give it my best and I hope anyone else that tries comes out where they want to be.
