This is Part #4 of a 4 part series on my reason to quit smoking weed.
As seen in Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3, I believe that it is a great idea to create an inventory of all of the reasons that I want to quit smoking weed. This servers 2 purposes: To clarify the negative effects of marijuana addiction in my life, and to use as a reference guide when I crave smoking pot, and think about relapsing.
The Negative Effects of Marijuana on my Finances:
Cost of Marijuana: My previous post on How Much my Addiction to Pot Has Cost Me, shows how expensive this habit can become. Add it up for yourself, its amazing what happens when this goes unchecked in the long term.
Paying Bills: I forget to pay my bills on time, or even open them. I always leave my banking to the last possible moment. My cell phone frequently gets disconnected. In the past, I have had TV and Phone service disconnected. Not because I didn’t have the money, just I was stoned all the time and never thought of it.
Planning Ahead: I haven’t saved anything for a house. I don’t plan well or have a budget from month to month. I tend to live in the current moment, or just far enough ahead in the future when stoned. Being in the stoned bubble really blurs the ability to look into the future.
Incidental Expenses: I eat a lot of low nutrition, high cost foods when I smoke marijuana. After smoking pot, its common to get the munchies and eat fast food. Also, I am less motivated to make my own food, or even go the grocery store to get new food. When not smoking, I eat healthier and am more conscious of my food choices.

I feel so guilty because I am older and never wanted to be a cliche middle aged pot head. I started smokin’ again after a whirlwind romance with weed when I was a young adult, cut short then when I got pregnant with my son. Well hes all grown up and for some reason I thought weed would help ease the pain of life and getting older. I believed it was safe despite the addictive and hallucinagenic warnings I got from my son. The weed I smoked 25 y ears ago was just as mentally addictive but not as strong as it is now. I truely had some “bad trips” which I didnt know was possable. I felt a loss of conrol over my body eyes wouldnt focus and it was scarey! My thoughts kept circling in a negative way and I even had bad dreams. From reading this and comments I see that many of the effects can be argued about from person to person but basically we all know about the lack of motivation. I just had to quit, I lost all interest in my hobbies that had got me through tough times! And the money well it can be a non issue if your set up,money was a bigger issue when I was young. But I couldnt get a damn thing done housework, yardwork, and just the basic EFFORT I used to put in everything I did.
Bottom line is I want to thank the author for his VALIDATION, and also I see that my own written lists of reasons to quit were the right way to go about quitting.
I smoked weed to calm me down but what I got was so calm Iedidnt care about a damn thing except smoking again! And when I came down hard I would have to face that the fun was gone. I spent my life doing for everyone but me and its sad that when I gave myself something it was an addiction. I regret believeing it was safe, at my age you still learn the hard way sometimes. I am just grateful it was a year and half and not 10!
im 30, i smoke weed since im 17, every day plus im an alcaolic…my poison its the drink, at least that was what i thot! if i dont drink, i smoke, if i dont smoke i drink… i use 1 addiction to fight the other or vise.versa! im rely alcaolic…i can tell u all, when i realapse 4 times, my 1st dink, it will take me on the wagon again, selowly but pogressive, with the weed its the same for me! im addicted to wedd n alcaol, 2 in 1! total abstenence its the cure for this madness! about mr king…your name says it al

Today is my first day that I did not wake up and get high to start the day. I am misarable I have to tho or I could loose everything including my partener of tree years who has never used a recreatinal drug in his life Dont get me rong I would love to smoke a big O tater right now but im broke and out, because nothing else matters more than feeling that temperary feeling that I don’t have a care in the world.Unfortunately I have exausted my credit financial as well as with my deeler.which is why have to quit .I guess its back to rehab again .Dont wanna end up like Amy(may she rest in peace)Funny I have been in and out of rehab for one thing or a nother my hole life im now 28 I have been adicted to every drug exept heroin And ironicly it all started with weed .I figured if it felt that good imagine what cocaine must feel like then the next drug came along out with the old in with the new.Each time thinking i can manage this one .Unfortunatly I am incapable of managing any habit.Now I have simply done full circle and im back to pot I cant keep this up .I have to stop everything if im ever going to have a “normal”life Whatever the hell that means 
Well thats my story hope it can help sombody .Good luck to all.just for the record I dont think weed is eveil Its defenatly less destructive then pills or alchool.Been there done that .Stay away! trust me if you must alter your mood pot is the way to go.Tho beware it is a gateway drug if you have an adictive personality ,get a hobby just stay away!I wish Everyone the verry best whatever you deside Just be carefull!All my love to anyone sufuring with one thing or another .Your not alone sug if you feel you need help than seek it. You will be suprised at how many will suport your recovery rather than lone you 25$ for another 1/4 Thats only going to be gone in tree days anywaysBye.Bye. for now sug’s
15 years. or is it 16? maybe 17. r u getting the picture? lost my job, wife, friends, but most of all my dignity. credit is s**t. spent at least 80% (probably more) of my income on buds. 35 yrs old and im no further in my life today than i was at 17. pretty sad, used to b outgoing and fun loving. now introverted and completely disconnected. mj addiction is very real, i experience this hell everyday. have for many years, but im taking my life back. this stops NOW! TODAY!!
much luv to all who is struggling with this terrible addiction.
a lot of great comments bring comfort.. always felt when i read these things that no one knew MY story, being “pot heads” for two or three years. wont’ bore you with my story but been smoking ounces a month for 12 years.. you can imagine the financial stress that took, all the shady deals -sacrafices- and time wasted, literally. eventually i was watching the world from inside my body, and while you’d see me utterly functional (one of those self proclaimed functional pot heads) that doesn’t make it okay. there will always be a sacrafice to make, wether that is the money you spend, the risk you take, or the other negative things you can’t even admit to yourself.
it’s nice that some people seem to have no issues, but i think in the end that is bogus, there is always some catch. i try not to regret a lot of the times spent smoking, and still have wonderful memories of relaxation, relationships, and just peace for lack of abetter discription but i’ll always wonder what I could have done if i didnt’ have this distraction. i suppose if i made tons of money i’d feel better about that, one guy posted here seems to do well and b/c of that he can afford a bad habbit so life is sunny, but one wrong turn and you could be jailed.. buying, driving, just something, and then that money can only help you so far.
the worst comments are the nice stories.. while there are plenty, and weed certainly isn’t heroine, it doesn’t motivate you to stop and i think the greatest problem with pot beyond physical, mentally, and financial costs is that it isn’t really a big deal in many ways.. so no one treats it like a big deal.. people are straight embarassed to seek help for it.. or replace it with cigs.. everyone is different so the solutions will be different.. find what is most important and use that as your way of not smoking.. b/c you’ll wind up losing those things if you dont.. atleast i feel that way
and thus begins day 1
The evil weed! I began smoking quite late in comparrison to many who have posted here… 17 I would say and I’m now 32 (15 years – thats a life sentence here in the UK). I have always enjoyed a smoke… I started on joints (Buckets, bongs and pipes too at first) and then just a couple of joints at night for the last 10 years or so, but thats every night! I am a professional advisor and I don’t really have the urge to smoke 9 – 5 Monday to Friday – although I do think about it during the day (especially if I know my tin is empty when I get home). Lately, (the last year or 2) I’ve been indulging during the day at weekends… and of course not leaving the house due to my stoned state and this is affecting my children. I have also been experiencing the last bag scenario for a while now, not answering my phone or replying to messages. I missed a friends wedding not too long ago as I got my dates wrong – my head has been up my a$$ for a while now… I’ve wanted to quite for ages now – its funny how I cam to do it (only 3 days ago I may add)… I’d asked a friend (at work!!) to contact his brother to score me a £50 bag, which he did and arranged to meet my friend later that night. As I sat in a carpark waiting to score (I was so sick of waiting about like that at age 32) my phone rang and my friend told me that when he arrived at his brothers, he handed him a £50 bag of coke – thinking this is what he had asked for). Needless to say no weed Friday night. That was the most depressing drive home ever – and I now know that the time has come – that is enough. There are far too many negatives with my weed habit/addiction. I do have mood swings, I’m becoming lazy, I can’t make decisions, I’m constantly trying to sort my next deal, spending too much money, my health and oral health are suffering, I don’t keep in touch with my family and friends as I avoid telephone calls when stoned… the list goes on. I associate everything with a joint – watching a film at home or in the cinema, watching football, my xbox – everything is boring without a joint – or so I thought! I watched a film whilst sober last night and did actually enjoy it. Watched the footie today too… I’m not saying this is easy and it has only been 2 nights but I am actually getting to sleep – I must admit its constantly on my mind but I’ve finally made the first steps to getting rid of this addiction and I intend to keep at it. I’m going to the gym for the first time tomorrow night and plan to fill my nights with alternatives to staring at my tv whilst smoking a joint. I have a long way to go but I’m determined to kick the habit. I would like to be in a position where I can have the odd social smoke (or maybe once I’ve kicked it I won’t want to – who knows!). Good to read all the posts here and good luck to all). oh, and to those who keep popping up saying its not addictive and we’re all idiots – you’re full of sh!t… find a more suitable site for yourself rather than slating other peoples difficulties. And one last thing, I would never have taken the time to write this post if I’d have been stoned – Fifa 11 all the way!! Welcome Knuckles to a weed free world. Keep going – peace.
wow how i wished i lived in the usa! From what iv read pot is soooo much cheeper over there than hear in england!. I dont acctually smoke pot but the herb (skunks) and i pay 10 english pounds for a gram of the herb which lasts a day if i pace my self. Altho i say i wished i lived there its probs a good thing i dont as it wouldnt help me in my quest in giving up my 10 year and much loved habbit. I will argue with anyone untill im blue in the face that it is very addictive on all aspects. I will also say that i used to blame other people for giving us weed smokers a bad name as i could more than just afford it and was very successful in my carrer and had a very normal happy relationship. These people live in a dream world and why do they have to justify a good carrear etc for the reason they smoke it. They are not been truthful or honest to them selfs. Iv had a long history with drugs and know this all drugs are bad for you legal or not! Monday will be my 1st day in my quest to become a whole new me
I`ve reached the same conclusion, that it`s time to give up the herb. there is nothing I can say which hasn`t already been said however I do wonder how many other people out there along with picking up this habit have reduced their efforts in their involvement in faith because I believe this can also have an impact in one`s life speaking from experience.
Good luck to everybody in facing life`s challenges
Been smoking pot for 8 years, heavily for 6, to this day i still question if i am really addicted to pot or if its just in my head. I do know and can see that pot has put a strain on both my relationship with my girlfriend and family, I feel broke because i can’t have 5 dollars in my hand without thinking about spending it on smoke, even if its my last 5, My memory feels like its turned to mush I forget things instantly and cant retain anything adding to my already growing lack of motivation. Sober I feel I can take on the world, high I’m anxious, nervous, cant pay attention, and generally don’t give a damn about anything present, future or anytime. That right there is the reason i love it. When I’m high I’m not here, I’m not on earth, I’m aware I’m not a vegetable, but I’m not here. Self realization is difficult to reach, to say I’m addicted to marijuana. I’m addicted to a non addictive drug, marijuana isn’t even a drug its a plant! Cocaine is a drug, crack is a drug, meth is a drug, not marijuana. Yet I have become addicted to a non addictive plant, how low of me. To say that to yourself isn’t easy, most cases that’s why I relapse, because I can’t accept or have already admitted it but lose faith in those words.
What I can admit though, is my willingness to stop. To stop smoking, I found this site because I was searching for help, I can admit that, and I can help myself. If admittence is acceptance, than I admit I am addicted to weed regardless of conflicting opinions, I am addicted to Marrijauna. I accept the guilt that this drug has caused me to have in my life and I accept the time I lost and the money I burned threw. I accept that I need help. One day at a time.
i also live in england and i have to say 1gram for a 10a is mint up my way the northeast 0.7 or 1.5 for £20 although when i first started 8 yr ago it was like 3.2gram for £20. i have a love for the weed but its ruining my life i want a life without it but cant see my life without it.
and for those who say its not addictive it is to me i admit i thought it wasnt and in the 8 yers i have toked its only the last year when i have came dependent on it every day and i have had it tht long i cant remember what life was like b4 i openly admit to being an addict and this site has been usefull giving me motivation to stop unfortunatly i came on after i have got my bag of blue cheese and im starting to sound like a broken record with this is the last bag shit but hopefuly this will be. i have quit drinking and i did have a problem with coke untill seeing my m8 being hospitalised nd its been over a yr without coke. i dont understand how i can kick a coke habbit but not skunk i dont smoke solids just skunk. good luck to every 1 trying to quit nd to those ppl who come on and give shit all i say is fuk em your doing it for u nd the reasons for u just bcos they aint realised they aint got a problem,
I would like to say thank you to the creator of this website. I am quitting smoking cannabis after 10 years of smoking it 3-5 times a day. As I was reading through the material, I was amazed at how much of it mirrored my own experiences with cannabis addiction.
To anyone who thinks that cannabis can not be addictive (especially “Matt”, who posted earlier) – Addiction does not just mean physical dependance. There are many people who smoke cannabis daily who are NOT addicted. In my case, I have been mentally addicted to cannabis for going on 10 years now and it has taken a huge toll on my life.
I am not blaming all of my life problems on cannabis. Actually, I am an advocate for cannabis legalization. Personally, I think that no one should be told what they can and cannot put into their bodies. Alcohol and tobacco are both legal, yet they cause huge problems in our society They are both highly physically and mentally addictive. The reason that they are legal is that people have decided they do not want the government regulating their personal freedoms.
In my opinion, we need to educate people on addiction, not on the negatives of soft drugs like cannabis and psychedelics.
ANYTHING can be addicitive
I think this site has some very provoking statements, even though it’s a sham site, and half the comments are fake (reading the comments on finances, after about the 20th mention of god saving someone, you will realise).
I have smoked from the age of 13 to about 18, then from 21 through to 29 (current).
I am here because my habit has implications further reaching than my own state of mind/body/wallet. Mainly my girlfriend, my friends and my colleagues. They don’t deserve to have to deal with the ‘quasi’ self I seem apt at deploying so much recently.
I have been working from home for the past year, and i have totally satisfied that little 18 year old who dreampt of sitting in his den and getting high 24/7 with no cash worries, always buying in ounces, never having less than a 1/4 in etc etc.
It’s time to engage with the world again.
BUT I feel quitting is not the answer, there will ALWAYS be that voice in your head for the true THC lover. I am taking the mediation route, buying an eighth on a Friday and finishing it by the Sunday night.
One thing I’ve noticed as I’ve tried to ween myself off the cones is this: The major deamon to excise is nicotiene.
I’ve had no bud for 2 days, I ony use cigs for spliff but have been smoking marlborough like they’re going out of fashion. This will be a much bigger problem for me, as I intend to quit cigs for good for my new years resolution.
As for all the reported side effects etc, even the faked ones, they can and do occur. I have friends who are on meds due to dope and their unability to deal with it mentally. Then you have evening shift, the guys that just toke on the evening, but they get properlly hammered. Also there are the guys that toke constantly, but not to the point of stonedom, i fit in here.
To sum up, and I think it’s something we all love to overlook and carry on regardless, but:
Marijuana is A DRUG and it SHOULD be used as one, constant use should NOT be seen as normal behaviour. This is where all my problems have stemmed from.
I totally agree with what you said Ryan. Thank you very much to the creator of this site, hopefully this will be what I need to finally quit for good. It helps to know that so many people have gone through the exact same feelings and are in the same place I am. At times it seems totally hopeless to think that I’ll ever quit for my entire life but at the same time I realize that pot has no place in my ideal plan for life. Thanks for putting this manifesto up and thanks to everyone who’s been commenting, it’s helped a lot.
Great to see this site as i’m tryin to kick this habit. I have smoked weed since i was 12. but almost every day since 19 i’m now 30. I dont enjoy a joint. I see it more of a task that i have to do and I can’t even think of how much money, health and above all people and the quality time I have missed out on with them that I can never get back. I hope everyone on this journey to bettering themselves gains a strong will and understanding of this problem. good luck
what does a marijuana habit cost my ex girlfriend smoked 4 or5 joints a day and was broke all the time of course,but never really knew what it cost, in the old days a 4 finger lid wasw about 20 bucks but i dont think its that anymore
Thanks for putting this up. I have been struggling with pot for about the past 7 yrs. Smoking on a daily basis for the past 3 yrs. It didn’t really become a daunting task for me up until recently. I got to the point where i could not leve my house without smoking up at 5am in the morning before work. Even when i was not smoking i was daydreaming of when i was going to smoke next. All the talking points you hit on were 100% true. Ive told myself for about the past year that i want/need to stop. Easier said than done right. I never thought that there was an addiction with pot be cause i denied the notation when some one would say something. weed has been taking my money, relationships and opportunity from me. I wish everybody luck with this undermined struggle.
your a genious
I just got this website and I gonna try form now on.
I smoked about 2g every day for the last 10 years,my familly life is afected and I have to do somthing for us.Lots of money I produce only for smoke.I’m really scared because I have done one pot this morning and decide I won’t buy and smoke any more.please give me some advice
Thank you for this write-up. I’ve been smoking for the past 6 years and a daily smoker for the past 3 years. I’ve tried to quit countless times but I always go back to it. You touch on many of the same reasons I want to quit. The sad part is even though i’ve known this information for the past couple years, I still can’t get myself to quit. It’s a serious psychological addiction for me. I will bookmark these write ups and read them everyday to remind myself on why I am quitting. Heres to the first day.
I didnt get high before bed…it’s now 718 AM! I feel great, mind you. But the last 5 years of my weed life has resulted indirectly in flunking business school in third year, losing a resturant 3 years later, losing girlfriends to awkward stoner moments… My roommate got an honors degree thanks to weed, as he says. I try to remind him also that he didnt get into his masters because of weed. haha! I think weed turns exceptional people into awesome people, awesome people into average people, average people into losers, and losers into heroes…because every loser stoner thinks hes a fuckin hero. i think i’ll try to stay off the weed another day! i’m tired of being such a hero
I smoked weed for 28 years. (Age 16 to 44) I was a huge stoner. “wake and bake”.. I easily did one ounce per week, and I liked the high quality weed. Finally, it was the mood swings, the anxiety and paranoia of the police and most of all the financial costs that motivated me to quit.
One day, I looked in the mirror, put down the weed and never touched it again. Even when I have had the opportunity, I have never accepted a single drag. In fact, these days I don’t even think about it for long periods of time.
Now after 10 years weed-free I have lost almost 100 pounds, am a healthy 54-year-old, happy and on track. (I never was a cigarette smoker, and I don’t drink alcohol or caffeine.)
Dude! Realistically, I smoked more than $300,000.00 in weed in those 28 years. Can you imagine how much money I would have if I had just put that money in the bank? With the compounding of interest I’d be a millionaire and the loss of money from the lack of motivation and missed opportunities in life are incalculable.
Don’t judge me. I am not some born again red-neck pot-head hater. I still have my life-long friends who are stoners and I tolerate them and they tolerate me and they respect the fact that for my personal well being, I had to quit. But when I see that they are doing the same thing I was and I see them missing opportunities in life, it makes me sad. When they are wiped-out and reeking of weed, I realize that I was the same way. I was high functioning and even had myself convinced that I was an “artist” and weed made me more “artistic”. But now I realize that when I was sitting in meetings and interacting with business people while reeking of skunk-bud, they knew! They smelled it, they saw my eyes, they put up with me. Why I don’t know? These were the days before drug testing in the workplace, so it seems they tolerated me but I am sure terrific opportunities passed me by many times because I was a “pot-head”.
These past ten years without the weed have been my most productive and happiest ever. I am finally making real money, have a clear perspective on life and living.
I lived it, I quit, and I have never looked back. You can do it. Just put it down and walk away.
Wow, I’m currently at work and I was looking for some easy ways to deal with my addiction. I really enjoyed the examples you offered, I can relate to a lot of everyone’s insight which makes this transition much easier!
Thank you!
So I have a question that hopefully someone can answer.
I married my husband 17 years ago, before we met, we both has alcohol problems and we’d both quit. About 10 years ago he started smoking pot, he said it helped his shoulder pain. Now he smokes constantly. He sneaks it into work, he gets up a couple of times a night to smoke… he tells me he’s quitting, but he’s just trying harder to hide it from me.
My dilemma? I love him, but I hate the pot. I hate walking into the bathroom only to smell that he was in there with the window open, smoking… I hate when he kisses me and smells like weed. I hate traveling with him as I know he’s carrying it through airports…
It’s hurting our relationship.
I’m 50, he’s 54… I don’t want to leave him, I don’t want to start over again but it’s getting harder to love him and hate what he does.
At times I feel like I’m being unreasonable and selfish as he says this is the only thing he has that gives him relief.
He doesn’t miss work, he’s careful about getting into trouble and other than *knowing* that he’s doing it all the time and disliking it, it doesn’t seem to cause him any problems. He’s functional.
Is there something wrong with me that I cannot accept this at face value? Why does his smoking bother me soooo much?
There is a lot of delusion out there about quitting and moving forward, it doesn’t have to be hard or weird or difficult. That’s strictly a mind-set we allow ourselves to buy into. The media doesn’t help, it appears everyone is constantly drinking, getting high and copulating. Many are. Most of us are but we want something more out of life than to be part of the herd. A stand-out life with achievement, action and successes. Marijuana, booze and addictions always cloud that up so well. One thing I’m clear on is that sober is the most real and successful way to live, bottom line. The sobriety I have achieved has made me feel the most accepting of myself than any other way. Its not easy because all the fears of living try to bombard me for a while but getting through them always leads to a higher level of peace. When I see people stoned and I’m clean, its obvious at that point which is best. Those folks seem so damn lame. I’m sure I must too when I’m high, although I feel ‘great’. Such a dichotomy, but higher reason must prevail.
Emily,
It bothers you so much because you realize he is addicted to something that he can’t control, and you want to help him.
As a woman, you have an innate feeling of needing to help your man. In this case, you need to be more strong in voicing your concerns to him.
Traveling with MJ at an airport is not only dangerous it’s stupid. Do not put yourself at risk because of his habit. Do not compromise how you feel because of the habit. Above all, do not become ‘okay’ with the habit. You are in control of your future.
If he loves you, which I’m sure he does, he’ll realize how it’s affecting both you and the marriage, and ultimately, his future.
I keep getting in trouble with my wife when she smells it on me. Since being married almost 3 yrs I have cut back to small doses and still have to hide it. That is anoying because I feel the need to smoke when I get in my car on the way to work. That is not good but its th only chance I get . I have smoked for 14 yrs at age 27 I support my family we live well and would continue to do beter and better as I always have. My wife was never exposed to pot and will never accept it. I have a 2 yr old daughter who I can’t part our family. I have to stop. Thanks for all your stories.
Firstly I just wanted to say how great this site is annd even better than the site – the comments… I live in Dorset, England and have been smoking from 15- 18 semi and from 18-26 quite a lot.. Im scared of whats happening to me, and then the cycle continues, Don’t get me wrong I love smoking weed – its a real gettting away and being somewhere else relief that I enjoy… But recently people in my life particulary my girlfriend who DOES NOT smoke have been feeling a knock on from my addictive lifestyle – for one smoking hasn’t eased my mind when its come to worries with her cheating, my sexual performance, my labido… and those things in turn cause you stress so ALL YOU WANNA DO IS SMOKE ..
I go on a holiday to Greece or Spain for a couple of weeks each year and actually find I look forward to the not smoking, not being tempted because there’s nothing I can do about it! Thats ridiculous!! I shouldnt be living like this, it took me 8 years to get through university and I am paranoid about getting lung cancer so I have decided to give “quitting” a go. Im going to try smoking weekends only..
I am worried about what will happen to me, I dont want to be known as a stoner anymore, peace out to all you trying too quit
I just wanted to say that reading these comments, particularly Johnny’s, have given me that little push I need. When I set my quit date, I will never be able to smoke past then, and I realize that. I always cushioned myself with the “I can spend less” or “I can just smoke when friends offer” but the reality is that a few days after a friend smokes me up I feel like buying my own bag and I’m back into the cycle of smoking 4 times a day and spending 120 a week. 120 dollars a week! I am 20 years old and want to set up financial success for myself. As a very numbers-obsessed person, I did the math – I am spending over half of my yearly salary (12k) on weed and cigs. That doesn’t fly with me. I need to be spending at least less than 6k a year on this salary to accumulate any kind of wealth, and with my very fortunate 100 dollar a month rent I can do that. I may even be able to get a better job with a clearer head. I’m tired of being somebody’s subordinate and I want freedom which will never come to me if I keep being a lazy stoner. I feel like my family thinks of me as lost potential. I feel intimidated by the successes of my cousins. I even feel intimidated by my own brother. I messed up college. I messed up a lot of things. One thing I know is that quitting pot will be a huge step towards eliminating these toxic behaviors of mine. One day I might look back at this as one of the best decisions I ever made for myself – health-wise, financially, etc. I also intend to eliminate cigarettes from my life which I believe to be just as toxic. Thanks all.
hi im a alaskan.. ppl only sell .7 gram for $50 and alot of ppl buys them! its bad finacial crisis haha bombed right now
Hello all,
Weed finds a way to make exscuses for itself to stay in our lives. Sooner or later everyone reaches a point where they wish they were high when they aren’t and wish they didn’t smoke as much weed when their baked. Its easy for urself to make exscuses on why you failed to quick smoking for the 5th time now. Why you try to cut down but it never seems to work. How many people have tried to go out with a bang and smoke all they had on them. Then they wake up the next day looking for that roach to spark up again. A never ending cycle of exscuses!
People can live a very productive life smoking pot everday; however I don’t think anyone is reaching their full potential by doing so. weed makes everything so much better but at the same time realize its not just making “high” moments better its making sober moments worse. The more you smoke the more you need. I have been smoking 3-5 times per day for the past 5 years and I’m 25 now. At first I tought it helped my creativity with guitar an it realy did! But remember what I just played and trying to re create the masterpiece exactly how I played it high was close to impossible! So I figured I would record everything I played, but I would just get so demotivated cause I couldn’t get as high, so I would smoke more and just get tired.
I stopped skateboarding because I kept getting injured! The only times I got injured is when I was skating high!! I always felt in the zone and able to do everything normal, but my reaction towards falling had dramatically decreased and I had rolled ankles galore!
The bottom line is weed should be used just like shrooms! For special occassions 1-3 times per year!
If you can’t do that try only weekends.
If you can’t do that then continue smoking pot and make a website that tells everyone why they should keep and smoke more weed
I’ve been smoking heavy for almost 20 years. I am at the point where a half ounce of fire doesn’t even last a week. I live high from the second I wake up till the time I go to bed, everyday. I even smoked a blunt on the way to my last drug test with synthetic urine strapped to my chest. It is the reason I lost many things in my life. I feel like I even lost the ability to love. I feel like an empty soul. I am an artist and musician and I feel like I need it to be creative but now I’m on the outside of life looking in. I’m 36 now and have become so withdrawn I have no relationships and no real friends. I have also lived to last 20 years suicidal. I never attempted suicide but it is always in my mind, kind of like a back up plan. For the first few years it was all fun but in 1999 my best friend/ brother was murdered and died in my arms with gun shots to the head and heart. After that PTS took over and I used marijuana as a way to deal. I really don’t know if things will ever be different for me but I am currently trying to quit. I haven’t touched it in 7 days which for me is really good. I only quit one other time and it lasted 3 months. That being said now the time is just passing so slow. I don’t know what the outcome will be, but I do know if I go back and smoke one hit, I will be right back in full force. Maybe my back up plan is the only way I can really be free. Addiction is the oldest most played out story, in the end we are all fucked anyway…….
