Day 7 of quitting weed…. again! I quit december 1st and was off of the weed for two months and then I thought ” oh a little bit here and there will be ok” ya right! It took less than a month to start smoking daily again and have the intense need to smoke. When I quit smoking weed I lost weight and started excercise hell I even ran a bit (which is bizarre for me, I mean I was a stoner who sat on the couch all the time and ate snack food and pizza) I’ll tell you when I smoked again for the first time it brought me back to when I was 14 and smoked for the first time- my tolerence was gone and it seemed exciting and thrilling. But the two reasons I quit #1 I have a shitty retail job that I hate and I want to find a new job and I think of it this way- Its either a new job or weed. #2 Pot gives me horrible ANXIETY. I have such severe anxiety because of pot I can’t handle eating because of choking anxiety. I get anxiety after smoking almost immediately now and its no fun. I researched it and I have whats called SUBSTANCE INDUCED ANXIETY DISORDER. Fuck basically smoking pot = giving myself anxiety and why would I do that to myself? I mean its just not worth it. The cravings I’m having for it are not easy- I’ve started drinking more to cope and its not good. I decided to write this instead because I don’t want to trade addictions.

I’m 25 years old and I’ve been smoking weed for the past 7 years. I started smoking very casually(1-2 week) around the age of 17-18. The more time went by, the more I smoked . My friends were a big influence on me. Most of them smoked so every time we would chill or go out, at least one of us would have ganja. Even though I could have probably went the night without smoking, I still did because I mean come on, how can you say no when its already lit. Smoking weed became a routine with my buddies so every time we would hang out, we would smoke. I started smoking everyday 3-4 years ago and now I need to quit. My girlfriend,also soon to be wife, is against drugs and has given me ALOT of shit for smoking. She has no clue that I smoke everyday. That’s because I mostly at night when I come back home. I hide it because I’m scared of her reaction. I kills me to have to hide this secret so I need to quit smoking and confront her. I’m off to a very long and hard adventure and I need the help/support of anyone who has been through this. Good luck to myself and everyone else.

I am 23 years of age, and i’ve been smoking since I was 16. For the last four years I’ve smoked every single day, sometimes twice a day with occasional wake and bakes. After going to the doctor and being treated for an affection I had to stop smoking to ensure treatment to work effectively. It’s day 8 and boy am I feeling it. However, this experience has led me to realize the hold that marijuana has on me. I understand completely the struggle everyone on here has, but there is hope! We have to take back control of our lives one moment at a time. Good luck everyone

To those of you who are implying that weed is not addictive and saying that this is fearing mongering that is an outright lie. I for one know the risks of weed and benefits I also know I’m addicted. I agree it is less dangerous than alcohol and cigs that doesn’t mean it isn’t addictive. Of course not physically addictive but please believe me and everyone else we are psychologically addicted

Alexis,
Challenge excepted. Ganja is a MIND altering drug. It is totally mental, yes you can get a body buzz, but ganja effects the mind, and thinking. Tobacco and alcohol dont come close to those effects. Ganja will make you introverted, you are more self conscious when high. Now if you smoke weed, then you know what im talking about. when was the last time you heard someone getting ANXIETY when drinking or smoking a cigg.? ill wait . .. . … When i first started smoking I thought ganja was a miracle substance, and had nothing but good to say about it. Now that I have been effected by its long term usage, I can tell you that it is harmful. Why even pick a POISON?….. GoodLuck in your Journey
Much Love NeRo……
