Hello,
Its been a couple weeks since I posted, things are going fine, I was on vacation, and have been busy with work / business projects. I will be back the blog this week as time allows. For times like this, I created the forums so that everyone could interact, please check them out. You can register for the forums by registering for the blog or by clicking here.
Because I am sure you all are wondering, I have smoked 3 times in the past two weeks, and haven’t smoked since Friday. Haven’t bought it at all!

Congratulations for going strong. What I find remarkable about you is that you refuse to give up. Though you may fall, you pick yourself back up again and keep going. That attitude is remarkable. That is why I believe you will succeed at this and any other goal you set for yourself.
Best,

Hi, Being a non smoker and living with a addict, I just need to tell someone how hard it is and the way it affects mine and my childrens lives. When my husband has pot he is happy and does things around the house and very active with our children. When doesnt have pot he is the biggest jerk to us. He is very negitive, wont do anything around the house or do anything socialy including childrens ball games. He is so mean and critical of everything we say or do. I so deperately want to stay to together as a family. I came from a divorced family and do not want my children to have to go through that. Some days I think it would be better for us to leave and some days I dont. I am so confused.
Tina, at this point, unless your husband wants to quit weed will be in the drivers seat of his and your (and children’s) lives. Until then, you will have to decide to either put up with this crap or move on. Sometimes people need to see how badly their behaviour affects others, but I am sure that he would sound understanding about the issue when he had weed – but so psychotic without it that when it comes time to be without weed he crumbles. I think in this situation he might be better off getting professional help to quit, so the whole family is not as negatively affected by the quitting process. Good luck and best wishes.
Weed is everywhere….. around me all the time. I have no idea how i’ve made this time. 36 days tomorrow and counting, everytime i’m near i just hear it shouting. “Please come and take just one puff” But I’m an addict so I tell ‘em it’s not enough. If I take just one, it’ll turn into a ton, then i’ll be broke and probably wanna get a gun, syke, I would never go that far, but at least this shit help me kick the tar, cause that’s the real shit that’ll kill ya, That’s why it’s legal, so the government can feel ya. Weed ain’t harmed nobody but me, but only cause I’m a A-D-D-I-C-T
Geez I am staring at a 20 sack of the finest marijuana right now and it is so hard not to smoke it. I know I am going to give in but i have to make a promise to myself that this is gonna be my last bag. Everyday it just seems to bring me down more and more, there was once a time in my life where i always thought that weed is a good thing, but i am starting to realize now that it has killed my motivation and i now have short-term memory loss. I am not going to lie though marijuana can be used for good things such as pain reliver for cancer patients and also for a stress relief if used responsibly meaning not abused.
I am on day 60 and have not had any urges until recently (past week) to start smoking again. First 2 months were a breeze but now I have forgotten the reasons that I decided to quit. My mind is trying to convince me that I can smoke in moderation but I dont think its possible. I dont want to fall back into the daily cycle of smoking everyday and feeling like crap and always depressed. It got to the point where I didnt want to do ANYTHING, I saw no point. Pot makes me too self-conscious to where Id rather just never leave the house then to face the harsh realities of life. Not smoking has made me completly anti-social as all my friends smoke and I know very few who dont. But damn it would be nice to sample this medical dispensary weed from cali……I think ill just try and sleep off the urge. God help me.
Hey Trevor North,
This site seems to have become a bit inactive, so I will also try and pep it up. So I stopped about 2 weeks before easter, so thats around 12 weeks off the stuff for me. I started when I was 15 (just turned 46) and in the lst 20 years have been an every day user. In that 12 weeks I have had 2 joints when over at a mates. I didnt beat myself up over it, in fact it showed me that I dont really need it, and also how bad it made me feel (physically) after having it.
Yes, marijuana may be good for cancer patients, but then if that was why you were using you probably wouldnt be on this site trying to quit. And yes is may seem to relieve stress, but I reckon it just blocks out whatever it stressing you, and that will still be there when you get straight.
What I did…..
I could never not get another bag, so in the end I gave my stash to my best mate, and asked him to hang onto it for me, for a couple of weeks. I planned to have a toke after a couple of weeks of going straight, as a reward. At least then it wasnt “my last smoke ever”, it would always be there. Well those 2 weeks were so hard, insomnia, hot sweats, anxiety, farting, when the 2 weeks were up, i just couldnt go through that again, so I asked him to hang on to it a bit longer.
Well the hot sweats gradually reduced over about 4 weeks. The insomnia lasted longer. Even now, I fall asleep when i go to bed for around 4 hours, and can manage to sometimes get back to sleep for an hour or 2 after that. The relaxation technique (no 3 i think) on this site helped when i really needed to relax at night. I also drink warm milk with honey before going to bed, and nothing too stimulating before bed (ie tv, pc, ps3)
If you google “quitting marijuana insomnia”, you will see all of the withdrawl symptoms you may experience. And remember, everyone is different, it may be real easy, or hard, or anywhere in between.
So my lungs are much clearer, I save about $40 a week. I am down to one morning coffee a day, and after that i drink chamomile tea with honey. would never touch it before, now i love it ! I also find it difficult drinking alcohol. I was never a big drinker, but a few drinks keeps me awake at night.
Sounds like crap doesnt it, but i love being clean, and i wont get busted by the cops for driving with drugs in my system ( a new law here in oz ). My kids wont catch me stoned, its all good !
Good luck, Trevor
Couldn’t agree with nTrevor more. I have been off for 46 days straight. Cold Turkey. I thinnk we each have our own way to beat this addiction. I know I have been drinking more since I quit weed but you can only take one step at a time, right? I dream every night now, after not having dreams for close to 4 years. Dreaming seems real simple, but it is really amazing when you start to remember your dreams after having such a long period of time with nothing. I don’t know if Alcohol is worse or better than weed but at least consuming it is legal in te states and that is one less thing off my mind.
I am so proud of my self for “doing the time” I have thus far, gawd that was hard to write, but I am, I need to go at least 90 days. Then I will need to make a desicion of weather to give it up forever or not.
The scary thing is that I know giving it up forever will mean that I will be giving up certain friends in my life that are good people, but they will be “potheads” and I wont, and for me not to fall back into the cycle of smoking it on a daily, Hourly, even minitly basis I will have to dissassosiate myself from them, and that will be harder than quitting pot.
Gawd bless you all that write on hear and give me something to look at once in a while you are just as much a par of my 46/47 days as I am.
Thank you.

Hi Guys
Names Pete from Aus. I have smoked bongs for 10 years now every day. I have lost sense of reality and am unable to basically go on the way I am. I am constantly shitty with everything I deal with and I just can’t fit in socially.
I the last 7 days I have had issues all round and my wife and 2 children left me due to my prolonged anger and irritability.
I too myself have just realised that I need help and will be going to a detox clinic tomorrow for an unknown amount of time to get rid of this beast.
I know that all the problems around me are caused by myself and I am making an attempt to clean myself up. I have a very successful life although pot has made me lose 10 years of happiness and memories.
I wish you all the best with your quitting from a fellow ex-choofer.
Pete.
I decided to stop smoking Marijuana 4 days ago after having smoked every day for 10 years of my life. I have found that the hardest part of quitting is dealing with the psychological component. The mind is contantly trying to fight your best intentions and you really have to work hard to not let it take over. I want to share a powerful treatment option to those who are having trouble. AMINO ACID THERAPY. Look it up online. It has proven to be extremely effective in helping with the withdrawl symptoms of quitting any type of drug. You can buy the amino acids at an health food store or nutritional supplement store. They are all natural and help support the brain and the functioning of the Neurotransmitters. They help calm the mind, balance, the emotions, and help recover the brain from the effects drugs have had on you. Check it out it is well worth it. All the best!!
Hi all
Well, i have smoked for about 10 years or so. And as smoking, i mean every day, religiously. I have quite a couple times, but nothing to really brag about. Longest being about 2 or 3 weeks at the most.
I have recently tried, once again. This seems to be going well so far. Havnt touched it in 6 days. It was a bit of a rollercoaster ride the first couple of days, but it evens out, and you kinda “forget” about it, or what its like. It’s just a matter of keeping busy, which my job has being doing. It’s sticking to that that is the difficult part. I always wonder, and so much would love to spark one up and relax on the couch with a joint and watch some TV, or mess about with something that interests me. But, when i feel like that, its just a matter of keeping busy again. (easier said than done)…
Anyway, this is my first post, and i have been checking this site now and again. Felt like sharing my experience so far. I so much understand what others are saying here, and what they are going through, and it still does seem impossible to me sometimes. It’s nice to know there are other people in the same boat as i am. Tomorrow is another day…
Keep trying all…
Jonathan
hey yo wassup i want to quit badly too.. but my roomie smokes all day its so hard not to smoke living like this, i have to live with her till december or even more im not sure, i tried to talk to her about both of us quiting and she said yeah but she bought weed and keeps smoking..
why is it that there no more post? april is the worst month 420
So my story is pretty much the same as everybody else. I started daily in college, with the quote “there is a time and place for everything, and it’s called college” firmly planted in my head. I always told myself and girlfriend that it was just while I was in college. I would tell people that I only smoked so I could be on the same level with everybody else. I feel like I fit in better when I was high. If I was sober, stupid people would get on my nerves. I couldn’t stand it when somebody would ask the prof a dumb question, or make a mistake on a project that my grade depended on. Nobody could really tell when I was blown out, because I was blown all the time. I was a much more social person when I was high, as long as you could get me out of the house. A few months went by and I started playing World of Warcraft a lot more, worked my way up to like 2 blunts and 6 joints a day, on my own, sitting alone in my room playing a fucking video game. 10 hours a day for 6 months, I knew I had a problem, but I’d just smoke and say fuck it, I’m in college.
Jump to today, I’ve only been graduated(I barely made it too, since I went to about 1/4 of my classes my senior year)since May, and I already feel myself falling into the same circle. I’ve reconnected with my stoner friends from home, getting cheap/free weed whenever I want it. I don’t have a job yet, and not for lack of trying either. That’s the most depressing part, a 4 year computer network and systems admin degree and nobody will even call or e-mail me back. This only makes me more lethargic, and want to smoke more pot just to forget about it.
Anyway back to quiting. I’ve tried a handful of times before, mostly when I was coming down from a hard binge, and started getting angry with myself for all the things I didn’t do for the last week. It’s funny what a pot head will tell himself to justify blowing off friends, girlfriends, family, school. It makes me break down when I think about all the people that were counting on me, and I let them down because I wanted to get high, or was high. At this point I feel like I can’t even function without pot. I can’t even eat unless I’m high, and even then it’s always small portions. I’ve had to leave dinner with my girlfriend and her family multiple times to go throw up because I was trying to eat when I wasn’t stoned. It sickens me to lie to them about having the flu, when I want so bad to be able to tell her and have her help me. I can’t do that now though, not after years of telling her that I only use it a few times a month. It would break her and I need her to be strong, even if she doesn’t know it.
It’s so frustrating having this voice inside saying that weed is great and will fix all your problems, but you know for a fact that it only hurts you in the long run. I know that I’ll never be able to use marijuana casually, I need to stop doing this to myself and my friends.
For me the worst part is not being able to eat when quiting. The insomnia thing I’ve never had, maybe I just haven’t gone long enough without it for the real widthdrawl to start. My goal is to eat a full meal, without the aid of pot, in 2 weeks.
Andy,
G’day mate, good for you for thinking about quitting. I have to tell you, the reality is , is that life is actually easier without dope. I stopped at easter time, but I have had a couple of joints on about five occassions since then. You know, I think it is good to get stoned again, but then if I have to face people stoned, I feel really self concious, and i no longer like the feeling of not being in control.
I never had an eating problem when quitting. It can affect your appetite at first, but that came good after a week or so. You do need to stick with it. All ths negative affects you may feel is not because of the lack of dope, its because you are getting that dope out of your system, and it can take a month or so.
Unfortunatley, you may have to stay away from your stoner mates for a while. If you are like me and enjoyed a spliff, it can be too easy to have just a puff. You need to give yourself a break. Quittign can be hard, so no point making it any harder.
Good luck, Trevor
Congratulations on your sobriety, it must take enormous courage to give up. I would caution everyone against overdoing alcohol use or relying to much on prescription meds to get over the hump. my husband, who i’m currently considering divorcing, is a pothead. he’s also an alcoholic and basically substituted one addiction for the other- when we on the verge of divorce once before, he stopped drinking and started smoking pot. now we’re pretty much back to where we started since, like alcohol, the pot addiction has started controlling his life- he smokes up so much that he can’t open his eyes. he only hangs out with stoners. since he’s pretty much out of it after a certain hour each evening, it feels like i’m married to a vegetable. i really don’t recognize him anymore. the strange thing is, people say that weed isn’t as addictive as alcohol- my husband is willing to give up his house, his job, his family, everything so long as he can continue being stoned. i guess at the end of the day he has an addictive personality and it’s bound to manifest itself in some way or the other. i don’t think he ever really had the will to get sober, he just had the will to stop drinking until he found something he liked better:(
depressed,
MY prayers are for you and your family….
I know how it feels to watch a great human being being rundown by substance abuse 1) alcohol or 2) weed
Its deeper than an addiction sometimes. Have you considered that? For example, your husband may be depressed about certain things such as his GOAL in LIFE.
When someone has NO GOAL, he will be VERY SUSCEPTIBLE to substance abuse because he does not know how to fill that void.
There are other factors as well… does he feel “anxious” all the time??
Perhaps he developped General Anxiety disorder and he’s medicating to help himself cope with his physical symptoms?
I know I have, GAD + Panic attacks have made it EASIER
for me to adopt a substance abuse lifestyle.
Also, not having a CLEARLY DEFINED PURPSE/GOAL can make a person feel “empty”.
When he waks up in the morning, he should be working towards his goals. Even if he doesn’t reach them anytime soon, he will feel successful, this is POWERFUL if he knows he’s progressing towards his worthy “dream”.
He has to UNDERSTAND, what he is LETTING GO by smoking pot since he will NEVER be able NOT to abuse it.
I hope it helps you, get him to listen to
Earl Nightingale on youtube. YOu will understand what I mean.
Im on day four of quitting.
Its very hard for me not to get agitated.
After reading people who are on day 40 and are aiming for 90. That helps.
Also hearing that after the first week it does get better, helps ALOT.
Im aiming for 30 days.
I would love to say I haven’t smoked pot for a year.
Its very encouraging.
Thank you
Hey guys.
I’ll make it quick. I am 54 years old and have smoked weed since i’ve been 15. Now, I want to quit. I quit smoking cigaretts 2 years this Valentines day. I am hoping the weed will be easier to quit. I have about a bowl left at home so when I go home today I am going to throw it out dump all the paraphanalia and start my 1st day of sobriety. I have fought this “addiction” for years and now I’m tired. I have a great life, a loving wife (no kids) and a great little dog. I know I can do this. please say a prayer for me. God bless everyone out
there trying to make a better life for themselves.
joel
so, after over three months of sobriety i smoked last week. And let me tell you, I cannot believe i wasted so much time in my life smoking the shit. Sure it was fun getting the feeling again. But for all the drama and bullshit it caused me to have with my family for so many years. And the days i wasted in dedication to achieving some high… I can’t believe it. If I never smoke again it will be to soon. Its just not the same anymore. Im not the same anymore. I want to move on with my life. And when your stuck in the routine of blazing all damn day. You aint moving anywhere but the kitchen to microwave some munchies.
Hi guys and gals
I am 53 and i too have been getting high pretty much every day since i was 16 with mary j. And about 5 yrs. ago i started a morphine addiction as well. But about 2 weeks ago i just got fed up with the fake world i am living in and decided to drop both. My doctor has helped me out with the morphine addiction by giving me a lower dose of codeine and i’e been off morphine for a week. My days are still pretty much a living hell with insomnia, weakness, anxiety etc. etc. but i really wanna experience the feeling of being without an addiction in my life. I said to myself i will either live or die quitting these drugs. So far i am still living. See i just got so fed up having substances run my life instead of me running my life…. and like everything else in life – there’s a price to pay. I am looking forward to an unhooked life – i only wish i never started but no point in dwelling on that – i’ve decided i’ve done enough harm to my body already – you just got to make the decision one day. And wether it takes me 30 or 60 or 90 days to feel human again i dont care – that’s really a small window in ones lifetime. I love you all.
I’ve basically been a pothead for the last 40 years. That was difficult to write knowing others will read this. Not too many people know this fact because I’m very good at hiding it… only smoke outside, wear a hat and coat I can take off before meeting people, mouthwash and mints, sunglasses blah blah blah. I’ve had varying degrees of use but only a few times have I “quit” for more than a few days at a time. Strangely, I can’t really say my life has been a waste. I have a smart and loving wife ( an occasional toker an able to control it) four great kids, university degree, a design company, big house in the country etc. etc. but over the last several years my personal diary is only focused on trying and being unable to quit. I seem to have it together and can control alchol, have never done any harder drugs, but am powerless against pot. What’s up with that? Maybe because I think of it as a soft drug I’ve been able to kid myself that its harmless. I have finally ( I’m 56 for Christs sake!!) come to the conclusion that I’m seriously addicted. I’ll smoke 2 or 3 times a day if I have it and I almost always seem to have it around.. never very much at once. I’ll spend hours looking for it if my wife has stashed it away from me and almost always find it.. I’ve scraped out bongs, stole some from my 22 year old son, even went into friends house once when they were away. I’m really getting sick and tired about what it has done to me as a person.. not so much from people looking at me but from my perspective into my own being. I’ve buried it in a jar in the garden to get a few days away from it, tossed it into the wood stove, and swore that “this is it” more times than I want to admit. As a designer I use it as a crutch to come up with the big concept or the perfect detail and since I mostly work alone I can do that at will. The problem is that now I have to convince myself that I can create without it… I actually know that I can because a lot of the times I realize that in the cold light of being sober is when I really do my best work… I just think everything is so clever when I’m stoned. I had a heart attack a few years ago when I was 52 and that really shook me up. I thought I would get off it at that point but sure enough a month or so later I was back at it with a few hits to calm my nerves.
Discovering this blog tonight really gave me the first inkling that I’m not in this alone. I’ve never laid it all out like this except to my diary and its really heartening to know there are lots of other people trying to get back to their true selves. Another thing that has really brought it home is watching my son getting into the stoner lifestyle with his friends. He has a part time job but he is wasting away his most precious years in a darkened room, playing video games about killing people between bong hits and creating this sort of social life with other stoner/gamers via the internet. I don’t know whats more addictive for him, the games or the dope but they seem to reinforce one another. It really saddens me to imagine the thousands of young people in the same situation… and of course I can’t confront him about it if I’m half baked myself.
So where to from here? I’ve started doing Tai chi and meditation and realize there are ways to get a buzz that are actually good for you. For the first time in a long time I can imagine life without pot and another way to get under the sometimes mundane surface of every day life… to get to other spiritual levels without the shortcut of the spliff. I don’t know if this resonates with anyone else out there but at my age and with one near death experience behind me, you start to think that maybe I should find out who I really am again before its too late. I won’t be bitter about the lost brain cells and missed memories, the lung damage and the money that went up in smoke… all that is water under the bridge. But I do have many good years left (hopefully) and I don’t want to spend them throwing road blocks in front of myself and living a double life to my family and friends.
I’ve had two days without it ( sounds pathetic doesn’t It) and that’s what lead me to check out some info on the internet. I almost hesitate to say it again but maybe this will be a new start towards at least getting this thing under control and getting back to being me.
Good luck and Love to All.
Kevin
Hey everyone,
Thanks for posting your experiences, they’re a huge help. I’ve been puffing for over thirty-years on and off (mostly on). Gotta tell you… it was excellent! Of course I’ve been gunking up my lungs, pissing off the love of my life and making excuses for decades. My wife is sooo supportive and patient. She’s waited for me to want to quit. Well I’m over 50 now and Mary Jane is getting in my way a lot more than she’s helping. The times I’ve quit before I had all the symptoms that you all are posting about, but they only lasted about two weeks. It’s all about me making up my mind – and that’s done. I just have to remember to eat, exercise and not stress out about the lack of sleep. Oh, and gotta remember that the impending sense of doom is just an illusion. I thank you so much for sharing your experiences… that makes it easier. I’ll pass on some tips and love (like you’ve done) after I’ve climbed out of the rabbit hole.
Thanks again,
Keith
Hey guys, I just wanted to say all of your comments are really helping me quit for 30 days.
I have been smoking everyday for 2 years.. Like 3-7 times a day.
I was put on Probation in March 2009 and it is July 2009 now..
I found out I had to take a drug test and unlike most pathetic people
My life means more to me than smoking those extra couple times and trying to use Detoxs.
So I must stay clean for 30 days and drink water and other stuff just incase and I am only on Day 2 and it’s just.. bad. I have to sit around and watch my friends smoke weed in front of me. I have pretty decent will power and can say no. but inside its killing me
I hope that I make it 30 days, this site is wonderful and thank you for making it.
Marijuana is addictive and it needs to be known.
Best of luck to all of those trying to quit. I also was a very heavy marijuana smoker for about 14 years.
The only thing that saved me was the birth of my son 4 months ago. I smoked the entire time my wife was pregnant, but finally got up the courage to quit about 1 week before she gave birth.
I tried to quit many times before, but always started smoking again within a few days or weeks. I know I am a very weak person, and if it weren’t for my son I would probably die a pothead. I do still get cravings every once in a while, but I want to be a better person and a rolemodel for him.
There are so many benefits to being clean (no fear of drug tests, no social anxiety, no more disappointed family members).
If I can quit, anybody can. Hang in there, it’s worth it!

Hi everyone. No posts in 2010? Am I the only one this year contemplating giving up the weed? I just bought a bag today, after fighting with my boyfriend about it for the zillionth time, and I swore as I was driving to the bank that this would be the last bag. I don’t believe I can do this.. hell I don’t even WANT to do this.. but if I don’t quit soon of my own accord, then I believe something bad will happen and I will lose something… and then have to quit anyway… and still have lost that something. I don’t know what that something is, but I know its precious, and I don’t want to lose it. Help me, think thoughts of me, pray for me. I need to stop living in the smokey, lazy, haze that is my life.
what happens when its funner and 100 times for just 1 hit everyother day or so?
sober woulda took me twice as long and as I pass every single last dish, fork, strainer.. im thinking to myslef I hate dishes allways have and always will. Compared to if I happen to took 1 single hit this morning
i realize alot about myself i wouldnt have so quickly even thought of. for example boring-ass chores around the house. ya know.. BLAST THE RADIO, whichever song i am in the mood for as loud as i think my neighbors cant hear it. everyones at work, during the days. My cleaning gets so immpecible, and not only that I can complete oridany mundane chores, done quick and in a hurry. Wthi 5 minutes to spare, YAY
Is it that some people really can, and some people really CANt succeed in.
As many of people have sAID that the same kind of drug is able to affect 1 person differntly, EACH time, right?
what if there are people who canquit for up to years at a time, do it thru some sorts of “phase” (usually a transition into higher levels of my life)
I guess i could say i wanna CELEBRATE. i dont know.
i suppose some1 might compare my addition as an “on/off switch”.
every time it might be time to quit for a while, Ive realized these steps and condition either A) have “some” resemblence–OR b) they are the total opposite side effect.
I read where some1 says it the Best wieght lost plan for for weeks to a month.
maybe this addition has just got me stuck in a loop, even though I DONT feel like things are passing me by, i feel like i can have an opened mind enough to REALIZE all the cool and fun things that occur in the world of housewive.
Then while Iam quitting or have been without for a season of a year, i always try to remeber the memories and how this little thing made me smile, why dont I do it now? ok- and i do.
i guess you could maybe I like the fun memories
does this all sound ridiculous to any1,
but then again why should i even care enought o be blogging my story to this website I just by the way stumbled across by Googling: does one hit of pot every other day then stop for years. then begin again, then quit when im ready?
jess and loving and loved housewive TO the mostest wonderful man in the world to me Bobby sublett, you are at work right now, but Iam right here thinking of you and doing my first blog < i love you, i appreciate you, AND WHAT AND HOW YOU do it all for us, and the way we treat eachother. MUAH! ( MAYBE I will show him this 1 day i almost forget it- this message i wrote him in March at 12:30pm)
allright too bad there wasnt any spellcheck in there.
but do u get the drift? right.
I started smoking at 17 and quit last month at 35, I always loved it but was usually too busy to indulge when I was younger, then I made myself find time and recently it was the only thing I was doing. My lungs were giving up and I got scared so I decided to quit, it has been a month since I last smoked, but to relieve my anxiety I started drinking, first at night to sleep, then after 12pm and today I drunk my first beer as soon as I woke up and now I am scared again. I am working out but have a beer before and after. I am not a drunk but I can’t deal with the anxiety, uf. I have a meeting set with my dealerfor tomorrow and I do and don’t want to go. Big Dilema.
I don’t think that everyone is just kicking a thc habit. If you get yourself or grow your own without chemicals or you know where it came from – you usually have no problems, you can leave it for as long as you want without feeling the “need” or even withdrawals.
Because its “illegal” criminal are mixing and adding shit to our smoke – we all know about soap bar – but green herb is getting dipped with ketamine and opium and all sorts. All completely undetectable since the average smoker doesnt touch these drugs.
But when they come out the system other things start to happen.
Somebody needs to set up an independent testing website where u can send in half a gram of vegetable matter and see its analysis.
As I say it depends on what you smoke and understands of the different plants and highs associated, NOBODY on this site has mentioned cannaboids & receptors and the THC. and NOBODY has mentioned the 2 main types of cannabis.
The indica highs are most often described as a pleasant body buzz. Indicas are great for relaxation, stress relief, and for an overall sense of calm and serenity. Marijuana indicas are also very effective for overall body pain relief, and often used in the treatment of insomnia. They are the late – evening choice of many smokers as an all – night sleep aid. A few pure indica strains are very potent in THC, and will cause the “couchlock” effect, enabling the smoker to simply sit still and enjoy the experience of the smoke.
The sativa high is often characterized as uplifting and energetic . The effects of a sativa marijuana are mostly cerebral. They give a feeling of optimism and well – being, as well as providing a good measure of pain relief for certain symptoms. A few pure sativas are also very high in THC content. They are known to have a quite spacey, or hallucinogenic, effect. Sativas are a good choice for daytime smoking.
Just this can make the difference if your quitting – or even changing what your doing – you can opt Sativa to help you quit for example as you have energy and motivation.
I been smoking weed since I was 13 (on and off till 17,from 17-20 consistent)..I smoke because I love it,it don’t change anything about me and how iam in my sober state,I can stop at any point even if I have weed…personally it helps me think,I like to rhyme my words and put them on paper,so I use it as a tool, just as I use my pensil and pad..I’m perfectly emotionally stable,I have never had a withdraw,because there is no such thing..marijuana is an herb not a drug,cigarettes,pain pills,alcohol etc..basically if you think weed is bad before you smoke it, then your setting your mind to negativety
