Quitting is not hard, pot is not hard to stop. I like it because i do not dream or remember dreams. Do not tell me how good dreaming is, tell me what is in pot that stops dreaming and how to get it.

Just woke up from a crazy dream about 30 minutes ago (3 am). Not a nightmare, but so vivid and intense. Googled and found this article.
Been off the pot for a few days now, weened myself off slowly. It’s great to dream again! That’s one thing that always bugged me about smoking pot is that I don’t dream when smoking. Dreams are so important for us, and is dumb living life without dreaming due to smoking pot. Great to be off the pot again, hopefully this time for good!

Good luck everyone, and KEEP ON DREAMIN’!!

I’m goin back to bed now. Who knows what I’ll dream up this time.

i had always been an anxious and frustrated person i had a huge issue in my life i wasn’t quite capable of dealing with or even fully understanding (i am presently going through transition; changing sex MTF) so when i discovered weed at 14 and it was able to make me relatively carefree i almost instantly started smoking everyday within less then a year started selling so i could afford smoking all day everyday to forget my problems, actually even solves superficial one (being considered weird also meant problems at school and at home from a very early age) by apparently making me more “normal” but eventually the gender issue started resurfacing more and more often until at 26 something had to be done, i started therapy (for the second time, this time they required i do the therapy sober) that was a really hard time, because my “sober self” clearly felt terrible and needed things to change, while my “high self” felt like what my sober self was feeling was simply insane and the solution was to self medicate, arguing that the social consequences of a sex change where probably far worse then that of simply smoking weed all day everyday for the rest of my life,(i’m honestly still not sure if that’s the case or not regarding functioning in society… ) but the fact is that even staying high all the time couldn’t ALWAYS keep it in check so ultimately the therapy continued and after about a year and a half i got my hormone prescription; soon after my consumption quickly went down, i didn’t feel the same when sober anymore, i didn’t have that anxiety rage and even suicidal tendencies anymore overall i felt “cured” this is still very recent, but after 2-3 weeks i quit smoking entirely, i’m starting week 3 now i feel great at least when i’m awake but when i first wake up in the morning i’m exhausted!, because since i’ve quit i’ve been having creepy dreams all night a basically remember all of them as if i just left for another world when dreaming and spent my hole 24 hours conscious! but about 8 hours of my day was spent in a creepy alternate world, where i still smoke weed sometimes, get attacked or robbed by “friends” (obviously when you go through transition you lose some friends and feel betrayed, likely being talked about behind your back) being attacked by zombies and other monsters and i’ve even died a few times! (luckily at least one of those times i was resurrected instantly witch is apparently a good thing) anyways my waking life is going well so i’m getting through it i just hope these dreams will stop sometime soon or i at least start remembering less of them, because as i said this is getting exhausting!

I’m experiencing withdrawal right now. Two days off pot (5-6 joints a day) and I am irritable, have a constant headache, find it impossible to have a positive thought, and frequently feel like ending my life. ( I won’t, because I have people who love me , but that’s the about the only reason.) I’ve quit before and the withdrawal symptoms are always the same. I can stop feeling this way instantly by smoking a joint, but it costs over $400 a month to be happy that way, and it’s ruining my lungs.

Its great to hear from everyone and amazing to hear how much we have in common. I’m on week 3 of kicking one mean addiction to weed. Used to basically live high (one rip of the bong whenever I was coming down), one night I woke up at 4 am and couldn’t get back to sleep so took a rip and went soundly back to sleep. Wouldn’t you know I started waking up around that time every night (the mind is crazy) and used the same remedy everynight. Not only was I high all day but I may be the only one on the planet who woke up in the middle of the night to get a fix! I’m having crazy dreams like everyone else but I see this as a positive. Also coughing up a bunch of grey speckled res (apparently the cilia in your lungs wake up from being paralyzed and start wiggling again to loosen up all the garbage).

For those that need a new vice I say start running! Don’t be discouraged at how out of shape you are at first, the progress is amazing. When I was first bored and decided to go for a run I got maybe a block and threw up! 3 weeks later I push myself to go further and further every day and am now up to running almost 6 km without stopping. Although I’m a looong way from it I’m already reading into how to work up to running a marathon and if I ever did that I would be so proud!

Rambling a bit but the point is in the three weeks I’ve quit weed I’m looking better, feeling better and living overall healthier and don’t think I’ll ever go back. Sorry if this post seemed a bit self centered but I’m very proud of the once ‘midnight toker’ and everyone here should be proud of themselves to! Whoever said weed wasn’t addictive has never spent time on their hands and knees looking for pieces in their carpet! keep up the good work everyone!
