I think that they are all great but I just can't afford weed anymore with my new drug problems. Help?

It is not cool any more for a 50 year old! Kid found my stash! Also with pot becoming nearly legal the outlaw/coolness factor is almost gone. It's not a rebel/artistic thing it's a DUMB thing. Think about this. You are going to die someday. You only live once. Do you want to look back and think you were stoned the whole time? Do you want to deal with lung disease when you get older? Expect some depression. Likely it was there before and you were self-medication. Activities you always did stoned may not be fun anymore. Gently re introduce yourself to them straight. For me this included outdoor athletic type stuff. Stop and smell the roses.

The last year got really bad, an eigth a night in bong hits is no joke. ive recently quit and have now successfully gone two weeks without touching it, this is the longest ive managed since i started smoking. Its not easy but its something that needed to be done, good to read that there are people going through a similar thing. Kriegy the sweating and dreams are no fun! How long did you find they lasted? ive been smoking since aged 13, every day since 14 wen i started to do bongs, it reached a point where i wasnt smoking to feel relaxed but smoking until i was completely off my head every night, im now 19.

I was diagnosed with COPD - chronic bronchitis and I have only 60 percent of my lung capacity left. and I'm not quite 30. this insidious drug will kill me if I don't stop. I've quit crack I've quit cigarettes I am having a terrible time with this innocent looking plant that people claim is so harmless, WE know the harm. the person who said each user is either running towards or away from something is so right. I have been running from life from reality far too long. its time for me to LIVE no matter how scary that prospect is.
