Hi Everyone,
Smoking Marijuana used to be a lot of fun for me, I am not going to lie. But it was a bit of a slippery slope. I don’t know exactly when it happened, but the side effects of smoking marijuana started to become worse than the ‘high’.
I started smoking heavily while I was in university, at around 18 years old. I was able to keep up my grades, and social expectations, but still enjoy a regular smoke…..for a while. Gradually, I started to puff more often, until I was smoking 1/4 oz of fine herb every 4 or 5 days. I would wake and bake, then smoke a cigarette (I wasn’t a cigarette smoker…but I thought it got me more high) first thing in the morning. Then I would chase the high all day.
I carried on like this for YEARS…I was really stuck in a rut.. The marijuana side effects were way worse for my life than the short feeling of the high, and I knew I had to stop smoking weed…When you think about side effects, you probably think about coughing, red eyes, and the munchies…but what about the larger lifestyle side effects of smoking weed?
For me, there was always some anxiety about people finding out I smoked, or being stoned in public. There was also the anxiety of running out. I used to run around my apartment looking for scraps in the cracks of the coffee table, couch cushions, and on the floor. There was also the $20,000 or so dollars I spent smoking weed. That’s a down payment on house….or a brand new car. My health suffered, partly from smoking, partly from being lazy, because that’s what happened when I got high.
I have gained some perspective in the last 6 months. I don’t really identify with the ‘the person I was’ when I was such a heavy smoker. Don’t get me wrong, I know that was me, but I am kinda embarassed about it. I have friends from that point in my life who only know me as a stoner, and that’s a label no one wants. To my close friends, I have made some apologies, because I wasn’t holding up my side of the friendship like I do now…luckily they have given me the opportunity to prove it. Who would have thought that long term marijuana side effects would be losing friends….it happens.
If you can relate to this, and are still smoking, there are a few things I want to tell you. First off. You CAN do it! Second, think of the weed side effects that you have…and don’t think of just the red eyes and stuff…think of your lifestyle, and if this is the lifestyle you want to keep on living. Personally, I needed to quit weed if I wanted to progress as an individual. I know it sounds a little corny….but it’s truth.
One thing that I recommend is the ‘Cannabis Coach‘. It’s a 5 part audio program that can helped me clear out some of the mental chatter in my head, and really commit to quitting weed. I was pretty private about my addiction, so it was listening to the program helped to keep me accountable.
Leave me some comments if you have specific questions. I do my best to answer them.

The thought of marijuana being addictive is ridiculous. I skimmed through your posts which I found saddening. On an intelligent level. You blew 20 grand on weed? Jesus… I blow 5 dollars a week on weed. I don’t wanna smoke a quater ounce of weed every 4 or 5 days.. never will either simply because I have common sense. I first smoked at 13.. did some at 15 and 16 ( never regularly) now at 20 I smoke about 2 joints a week on average. Its all I need. Weed isn’t addictive at all. Its only the fool behind the joint smoking it who doesn’t know how to control themselves. I got to place you in that category from reading the poor moves you made. I am happy that you “got free from your addiction” but don’t go around calling weed addictive just because you can’t handle it. Makes you look like you’re spreading anti weed propaganda while teens are killin themselves driving drunk and shit everyday. Cigarettes killin whole families and shit and you bitching about weed. Please don’t start. Thank you.
ive been smoking for a year, started out 3-4 times a week to once a day. Im currently taking a two week tolerance break, and i feel fine except im a bit on edge all the time. Im quick to react to anything, but i dont crave weed or sleep worse than when i smoke. The human brain is a magnificent piece of cosmic engineering and i believe it is much more powerful than weed will ever be. The key is to have a plan, remember what counts in life, remember the people and things that make you happy, dont let them fade away, you can do it while being a regular user of weed. Life is short, live it how you want, but with no regret. If youre happy on weed, then youre happy, and thats what is important.
weed is good for people who are working hard on factories or anyone who does not need the brain to function… Why? Because, humans are a thinking species – so if life is spent in a cycle of not thinking it leads to serious self consciousness and anger issues, however drugs that are manageble e.g. pot – stop the brain activity. For me, weed was fun until i had to start using my head and i observed the pattern that when i was not high a task of writing a simple php code or js would take me about 70% less time than when i was stoned, and usually i would not be able to get it right when i was stoned at all… i think this sums it up
Hi. I’m five months into not smoking weed after a habit of 27 years. I no longer crave weed, or even being high, but I feel mentally depleted. I have been laid off for just over a year, so I had many reasons to quit. I have been fortunate to maintain my home with unemployment and side jobs, but when I’m not working, all I want to do is sleep. My first thought when I wake up in the morning is “when can I slip in my next nap”. Does anybody have any suggestions? This is driving me nuts!
I have smoked weed for 10 years every day and quit four days ago, my neurotransmitters are going scatty! This is the hardest thing I have ever done and many so called experts will indicate that marijuana is more of a physcilogical addiction than a physical I beleive this to be false. Marijuana has four hundred different chemicals in it one being THC.All these chemicals have a huge impact on the brain and have not yet been discovered through science.MANY PEOPLE WILL SAY WEED DOES
NOT AFFECT THEIR ABILITY AS REGARDS TO WORK, CAREER, AND SOCAILISM.THIS IS A SIGN OF DEPENDANCY AND IF THEY STOPPED SMOKING WEED DO YOU THINK IT WOULD AFFECT THEIR ABIBLITY FOR A FEW WEEKS? I BELEIVE SO.The problem with most substance taking is ABUSE, I should know I became an expert on substance abuse.Today I broke down in tears with the withdrawl symptons I am finding it extremely difficult to cope with but I know I have to persevre for my children sakes.I can not allow my children to grow up knowing that Dad is a pot head.Marijuana is very harmful
people it causes your lungs to develop smalls holes around them making it harder to breath eventually and is more harmful than ciggarettes.Most heavy smokers/abusers
will say that they dont dream.Dreams last a nano second regardless of the eventful dream and a foggy weed mind can not remember what the subconscious mind had relayed.
Strange dreams will become evident when you stop as your
neurotransmitters are trying to search new links and are slightly lost within the brain.I beleive willpower alone is not enough to quit your whole attitude of thinking has to change in order to never go back. Willpower to me is another word meaning stuborness.I have found this website very helpful and I realize I am not alone.F!!K ME I CAN NOT SLEEP!
I smoke. so did my dad. so did his dad. so does my sister. so do some of my friends… there are some that are worthless there are some that are succesfull. blaming weed for your relationship problems is ridiculous! i cant stand to drink alcohol, just doesnt make me feel good. So because im different from people who can and enjoy drinking, i cant catch a buzz. i understand if your not a strong enough person to get stoned and go to work, dont do it. but im hardworking great with my sisters kid, loving, and my family always comes first. im a pothead say something bad about me…
i was a young enthusiastic kid with ambitions to be a success and make a big name for myself. then whilst in my later years in school, i thought smoking a joint with my fellow students would be a laugh.. its only a joint right?.. wrong!! smoking weed is a life style and willchange you as a person. i spose through my experiences you can be a success and be asmoker but weed damages and contaminats your personality with dromatin long term and short term side effects… i am now 19, i got distinctions in my b-tech an college in business studies and have ow been accsepted to anglia ruskin university. as im still smoking weed i know this will effect me when i go to uni. so i am going to stop smoking as soon as i write this short essay explaining my life story… lol, im gona try the cold turky method for a month and i will let you guys know how ive done and what i have learned. thanks you guys for all youe information in relation to all of your personal experiences.
its all good
hi, im 14. and i used to smoke weed when i was 12 almost everyday for a year and i managed to quit because i was really scared of the anxiety it caused me. about a year later the anxiety went and i started again (just on the weekends. after about 2 – 3 months of that, one night i woke up and i had this really weird feeling and done some research and i had derealization witch caused me to have a sensation of unreality. anyone else get this derealization problem?
i did not start smoking till i was in my mid twentys and now allmost 40
what i want to know is when do the mood swinges stop and i stop snapping off every ones head?? i mean i have become the worlds biggest B#$%^. My son and Husband get it the worst. i can deal with the sleepless nights, the loss of food 
but the mood swings 
tell me there is hope.
Hi guys, I’m taking everything you are saying to me, and I’m learning alot. You made me quit weekend-smoking because of the fright of the sideeffects and a possibly addiction. I would like to refer to the Serenity-prayer:
“God, give me strenght to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change thing i can,
And wisdom to know the difference”
I wish you all the best luck
You bunch of fucking traitors, i found where you meet on the internet, i will come to hunt you… after i smoke some weed.
thanks
y is everyone gettin so depressed from smokin weed. i smoke a shit load everyday. i smoke anywhere from an 8th(70sac) to a 100 sac everyday. and ive been doin this for about a year. i nvr get depressed wen i dont have weed. and im extremly social. my grades suck but they have since 4th grade so its not the weed. mayb u guys smoke for a different reason or sumthn. i smoke for the spiritual experiance and to write and listen to music. i mostly smoke alone cause my friends r annoying wen there hi.
also smoking weed helps me a shit load with my bipolor. im on lithium and it doesnt do shit. and since ive been smoking ive been able to think about things more and not just blow up at ppl tht get on my nerves. im less compulsive. i used to steal alot cause i felt this rush. but now tht i smoke i dont feel tht anymore. and ive been alot nicer to my friends and family since ive been smoking. its not rly a drug to me so i dont go crazy and look on my floor for stems and shit.
I find it amazing at all the people that will argue that pot is not addicting!! I have lived with people that have tried to quit and it was a horrible experience!! They were grouchy,rude and extremely MEAN no matter how much I tried to help them!! I also find it amazing how many “weed” smokers can be hypocrits and tell others to quit smoking cigarettes,quit drinking or doing other drugs!! So POT smokers FACE IT= you are no better than the rest of us you just ADDICTED to a different DRUG and it is ILLEGAL!! QUIT being such HYPOCRITS!!!
fuck ur hopeless smoking Marijuana is not addictive from a chemical stand point u can be addicted to anything if u let your self i no people that have quit hat has a meth and that has a withdrawl fuck man this is why pots illegal shit like this hope u get a hold on your self
i have just stopped smoking weed in order to enlist in the IDF, i have been cannabis free for almost 4 days now and i dont seem to have an appetite , is there anything that i can do to fix that? this is the only problem i have had so far with quitting, it quite easy for me to not smoke, the only problem i have is that i just dont want to eat any thing, im hungry but i have no appetite, does that make sense? and when i do get an appetite i cant think of what i want to eat. please help if any one has experienced this as well and knows what to do about it.
this a response to garys post, just a quick fact on cannabis. cannabis is not worse than cigarets, smoking cannabis is actually a healthy condition for your lungs and can actually prevent lung cancer.The Office of National Drug Control Policy has been spending millions of taxpayer dollars on advertisements and printed material declaring that marijuana causes cancer. The truth is just the opposite – marijuana can prevent cancer. Recent research has shown that the cannabinoids found in marijuana can not only halt the spread of cancer but can also kill cancer cells.
smoking weed is good for you.
Investigators at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health reported in January 2008 that the administration of cannabinoids halts the spread of a wide range of cancers, including brain cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, skin cancer, pancreatic cancer, and lymphoma. The report noted that cannabis offer significant advantages over standard chemotherapy treatments because the cannabinoids in cannabis are both non-toxic and can uniquely target malignant cells while ignoring healthy ones.
the only way cannabis can effect your health is the way it makes you lazy and not willing to work out and be healthy.
i used to smoke weed everyday with buddies but ive recently cut down to about 4 to 5 times a week and im starting to see reality so to speak, instead of being caught up in being high all the time and not thinking of things in life correctly its all about being prepared to be high and not thinking its a game or sumshiit. pretty much u can be high without actually being “high” is what im saying its mind over matter people but im still trying to perfect staying in a sober mindsate while still being high
i started smoking when i was 13 and quitted when i was 24,now im 26. i smoked a lot more than all of you commenting here. marijuana alcohol an cigarettes are ALL addictive. And no im not american antidrug fag i live near holland. to the ones that can control their use: congratulations but you will FAIL at some point. This s not a warning just a personal experience. but i get angry at ppl that say that marijuana isnt addicting(i said the same when i smoked it). Theres one sentece that helped me a lot getting rid of my addiction. The mind is a terrible thing to go to waste…
I’ve been smoking for 6 years and its really hard to quit weed !
it’s easy to go a day or two but after that stress level’s begin to rise and everything becomes irritating. i probley did more damage to myself trying to supplement this addiction with cigarett’s and beer then with the weed you used to smoke.even harder when everyone that u work or associate with does some kind of drug ,all your family, you can’t avoid it.
im not going to preach but i think all our lifes would improve without it.for even a month withut may do wonders for you
Day 6 for me, at first it was Derelization and Insomnia, Then Anger And Anxiety, Now I have a slight fever..
Usto smoke everyday from 2 g’s to 4 everyday of the kush this whole last year. I just hope the withdrawl takes faster then this because its really annoying.
I too have struggled with my addiction to marijana. It has only been a month but i am resolved to stop smoking. Marijuana for me WAS fun but it eventually took over my life. I had to smoke before i went to work, somtimes even on breaks. And definetly on the ride home from work. But in my 4 and half years i do not have much to show for it. Marijuana allowed me to meet a lot of people and even allowed me to be in the home of lawyers, doctors, atheletes all kind of people. I have missed opportunites for jobs and other important things in life. However, i can say now that i am drug free but it’s not easy. I actually have dreams sometimes about the drug crazy i know! I just encourage everyone to excercise and stay as active as you can and it helps somewhat.
I havnt smoked weed in 2 days. I get bad insomnia when I dont smoke, its actually 3:30 AM and I dont feel tired at all. I have gained some weight since becoming a pothead 1 year ago (I consider the day I became a pot head the day I bought my first 1/4 oz. I used to only smoke occaisionally but after buying a 1/4 oz of Kush it became an eveyday thing). A 1/4 oz lasts me a little less than a week if I smoke semi conservitive. I’ve been waking and baking for about a year and I agree with most of what the admin that posted this. Even though I have not suffered much side effects besides the bad insomnia and some jitters when I want to get high.
I’ve tried to quit only twice, back in march of 09 I lasted 10 days, my record streak since becoming a full time stoner. I tried again on New Years and lasted 5 days. And to tell you the truth the only reason I havnt gone out and bought another bag is b/c i’m broke.
But I do think about stopping a lot. Mainly because I just feels so out of it and lazy and pathetic most of the time. I try to keep it as private as possible but I’m only 19 living with my dad and brother so it hasnt worked out too well. I havnt really talked to anyone in my family about it, and i’m not really a partier weed, i just like to smoke after work and chill. Oh and before too. And before college. Before I watch a movie. Before hanging out with friends. It seems I need to be high to do anything. I’m gonna try to quit and I know it sounds like I’m a worthess ass its not like I’m smoking crack, but I find it difficult to quit which is why I stay away from the hard stuff in the first place. I dont even consume alcohol that often, but I see my grades in college slipping, I’m getting fatter and out of shape (Munchies>My will. Everday.) and I cant go to sleep without the green.
I dont know why I’m even writing this, but with nobody to converse to about it I guess it helps to get it all off my chest. But even as I write all of this, I can hear this little voice, this little asshole in the back of my head saying “C’mon you know you’ll never follow up on this. You know as soon as you get some money you’ll buy more bud” Its actually more of a feeling than an actual sentence. I really wish it wasnt all or nothing. But you cant have your cake and eat it too.
Im 15 and been smoking weed for a year and a bit now. I saw an earlier comment saying an 8th is 70$ … HAHAH thats exspensive as fuck man, in vancouver its 30 an 8th, and in kamloops BC its 20 an 8th, 160 oz . i love canada, btw, alchol is worse then any other drug even meth if you look that shit up, my aunts part of a hospital.
Weed is NOT a drug, its a herb and if you happen to light that shit up you get high. do you ever see anybody on the show intervetion for weed? nope ive never. so fuck all of you “marijuana-addicted” people. lolz

i found this and i could relate to it…but dammn i never spent that much money on some buddah..usually like 20 fo 2 weeks. california is something else..but i dont think im addicted i can go longer than a month without it..i used to smoke morning noon and night and sometimes in bettween that for 2 years straight. but i was in school and i passed all my stuff being totally stoned. but yeah. i could quit but id rather smoke it then take pills for anxiety.
great artical!
I’m a daily smoker of weed and am trying to quit! There are many thongs above that I do agree with. I don’t think smoking weeds is more of a physical addiction than a mental one. I think if I don’t smoke I won’t sleep, that is my main reason for smoking. I think there will always be people who will defend weed but after bein a heavy user myself I’d like to stop as the side effects are deffonworae than actually being high! Headaches, paranoia, irritable etc! I’m not saying to stop as each to thir own, but I’d just like people to be careful! A good grind if mine became a shut in trough smoking weed. He freely admitted that he was dependent on it and couldt function correctly without it, it made the world outside unbearable! It’s a warning, my a leacture. I’d hte to think anyone else couldgrt this way as seeing at first hand what a bad addiction can do to a loved or is heartbreaking
I have been smoking for about 10 years now and it really does effect you in a bad way. Every month I blow all my money on smoke and when I have no money I get it on tick until I get paid again. Thats an addiction. I feel depressed, dont wana go to work, socialise, these are all new symptoms to mein the last couple of months. im now single because of smoking to much and also lost jobs in the past just because I want to get stoned. Ive tried stopping alot but cant handle the withdrawls. Does anyone now how to make the withdrawls easier or have any good advice
I’ve been smoking now 9yrs, I know its changed me, i let it change me. Instead of accepting an dealing with my problems i used/use marijuana to numb it, bt i also like the affect of marijuana as i am a highly strung person, the only way to help u people with how ur coping with not smoking is anti-depressants/anti-anxiety. I have given up b4 bt I went on Avanza an it is anti-anxiety also a sleep sedative this has helped me remarkably especially with the sleepin insomnia’s nd moods…
I really want 2 giv up marijuana i think u come to a point in ur life where it feels ur just wastin it away being stoned, also I am a mum nd i hate my kidz seeing me stoned it just shows them how selfish i am being….
Marijuana has made me alot more agressive towards people, snappy, lose patience very easily, mood swings, its like this anger towards the world thats wen i am NOT smokin (durin day) then i will hav a cone for the day nd b so calm. I am a everyday smoker i smoke a half sometimes a week…
To another point Does anyone think smokin marijuana makes u lose weight nd not put weight on??? For those who have quit ova a month hav use gained much weight???
It takes 4weeks I’ve heard for ur metabolism 2 slow bak down to normal…
Plus ova having this cough nd weasy chest all the time al 4rm smokin bongs… Anyone got good starter tips????
Ive been smoking weed everyday with some of my friends. you should smoke with someone so you dont get bored or w/e. I know how you feel, when people say shit to me in my head im like i dont give a fuck, as long as i can pass school keep up with my job then its all good. but at the same time when im high i keep myself active so it dosent seem like im lazy
REMEMBER THOSE WORDS, “I DONT GIVE A FUCK” those words can take you far or your stuck in a shit hole
I’ve been smoking weed for ten years. Started when I was 21. I am not some one who is going to tell you wether or not you should smoke weed. Chances are you know for yourself. It’s not for everybody. I realized a few years ago that I was smoking more frequently and it was time to make a decision about either quitting, cutting back, or just accepting this new behavior for what it is and not do anything different. I considered the consequences for each choice- how it could affect me in the long term, my friends, girlfriend and family. I thought about what had happened over the past year while I was smoking so much. I quickly realized that there were way more significant positives to my smoking than there were negatives. My will to seek truth, to be compassionate, to love, to help others and to enjoy my life all increase with pot use. Not to mention the incredible experience with music that is undeniable. (before I was a regular smoker I was very anxious, had a short temper, was impatient and was always in a hurry. I also had a very short attention span) I realized that while I was getting high all the time I was still finding time to get a promotion at work, I became a more organized and responsible person, I was closer to my friends than a year before and I was without any doubt a happier person than I was a year before. There were some negatives. I developed asthma from smoking cigarettes and I could not continue to smoke both. I was certainly going to quit at least one of them. I decided to quit smoking butts and continue smoking weed. I’ve never been tempted to experiment with any other drugs and I don’t enjoy drinking alcohol. 14 months later I still smoke weed, still don’t smoke butts and I get exercise almost everyday. I have a nice new car, kept my sweet job and was just informed that I got another promotion! Bad news is my girlfriend no longer has any tolerance for my smoking (even though I don’t smoke around her anymore). I have tried to compromise but it doesn’t look good. Heartbroken but I respect that she doesn’t want it in her life. We will move on I’m sure and find happiness elsewhere. Be true to yourself and patient. Think rationally and put the pipe down once in a while. Make your own decisions based on what is good for you- not because someone else says they know what you’re going through. Even though 83 million Americans have tried pot, those of us who decide to use it regularly are treated like criminals and dangers to society. There may be something wrong with you. There may be something wrong with me but the weed is not at fault. Peace and happiness y’all
Any mind altering substance always attracts us emotionally and all have one thing in common thet teach us to fly and then they take awy our wings. Anyone that tells you they can control there desires are only one step away from having control. There all substitudes for normal relationships they being our artificial loves.
Don’t let anyone kid you about that. Take real life situations ,do you want your doctor operating on you or a pilot flying the plane your in .your out shopping or working do you trust the baby sitter.
Be the master of your own destiny ,the human mind is the most powerful substance of all use yours wisely my friend.
truthfuly … I’m a happy smoker with a shit load of problems,
for the last 2 yrs I can say that I’ve been a pot head and enjo
it because it make me feel good and, take the pain of losing my mom
away. But now every thing has changed and not for the beter of my family
It’s gotin so bad that now it to the point of loosing my dad, and my sister
there all i got left in this world and I cant even stop smoking pot. Im 15 and
need help if you have any suggetions please send me some, my luck and time
are running out.
its a lot more difficult to quit smoking weed when all your friends smoke and you your self have smoked for more then five years … im tryn to qiut as we speak its been two days and im hitting the point of withdrawl where im am freaking out … i think i need it but if i keep myself occupied hopefully it will be easier then im expecting .. but i doubt it …
Hey guys I quit smoking weed two weeks ago after almost ten years of daily use. I have found saying goodbye to my old lifestyle is the hardest part. Stoners constantly surround themselves with people who smoke which makes it easier to get high more often. Also makes it more acceptable. It’s not the weed that is addictive it’s the lifestyle. Redefining yourself as a smokefree person can be difficult. I am confident there is a better life in it somewhere, that’s why I quit.
WOW..I have been a daily smoker for about 23 years..Today I am a successful woman who has managed to graduate college & own my own business.. I have stopped several times in the 23 years and it was not that big of a deal for me. Yes, you will feel a little irritable, trouble sleeping & head aches.. but this only lasted about 2-3 days. Is it addicting? We can be addicted to anything we choose, like work, shopping, surfing the net… I personally just enjoy it..and feel God put it on this earth for that very reason. If you know your history about Marijuana, it has been smoke for thousands of years..and Never should have been made illegal. In the 1930’s, Henry Anslinger(I think is his name) had it lumped in with cocaine and other Hard drugs and it has been consider illegal since. Today, more and more states are approving it for medicinal reasons.. Soon, let us Pray.. it will be legal.. “Peace”
To the comment below,
first of all the only reason you came across this site is something you had to google, you skimmed because you deny, and dont start putting accusations on others, this person is simply trying to help those LIKE ME ,A TEENAGER to encourage stop smoking weed.
thats great that you can”handle” but there are people who dont and cant. and its not physcially addictive of course. its mentaly addicting, and you know that because you keep coming back to it twice a week, you dont”need” you want. The way you talk reminds me of when i was 15 years old when i smoked as much as you, and i thoughti handled it too until i began notcings long term effects. Yes people die off drinking and cigeretts, why add weed to the mix? of coruse it doesnt kill you as much, but are you really going to use that as a defense. Pathetic. because it kills you slowly in the brain and makes you dependant on that “certain high”.. Its sad because im 17 and I have more knowledge than you, and im a teen who actually quit weed and find this piece inspiring. you need to grow up and stop defending something you know you can live without.
I have been having trouble sleeping at night, and sleeping my ass off during the day. I always thought that it wasn’t addictive. I don’t know if it is because I have smoked for 21 years 1/2 ounce a week ,I did maintain , but I have been feeling f..kin depressed and antisocial. I have always been a social person so this is trippin me out. I have 61 days clean and still waiting for my head to clear. For you morons who say that you have no problems with it, all I can say is good luck later. As a pothead for so long, I wish those of you who are trying to quit now is better than later cause if not now, it will get you later.
I smoke an ounce every week and i like dooing it I don’t get know side affect I have a grate
life
weed is a fucking plant it’s not cooked up in some crack heads basment it’s fucking naturel it grows out side it’s a fucking herb plant its not a fucking drug to me so i dont go crazy and look for shit on my floor u just go buy a nother bag of weed
Hello,
I first want to thank you for such a well written blog. Then thank you, I had an outer body expience ready this. I don’t really need to repeat because you explained me down to the T. I think you should go out there and tell everyone about your expireince. It’s cleansing to the soul. thx
I also smoked weed for years…it started about 10-13 years ago, and quickly became a terrible habit, I was also a cigarette smoker…and a deep inhaler….I quit smoking cigarettes 5 years ago, but continued my weed habit…sometimes4 times a day, but it was everyday…I aso used tobacco to roll my joints..not much but still. At the beginning of 2009 I decided to quit weed, Iw as becoming paranoid about my health, paranoid about everything…I realized how much weed had impacted my personal growth. I think maybe for me personally, it was another habit like cigarette smoking. The more I smoked weed, the guiltier I felt, most of my friends did not know, because I felt ashamed. I was lazy, tired, and always makng sure I had weed. I would start to worry if I was running low, and ti became the only thing I looked forward to , it became my hobby. I had a set back this past November…I met a new friend who smokes regularly, and before I knew it I was smoking three times a night…again. I have quit again, and it’s been two weeks, so all in all my set back was about two months long. I wanted to ask a question. I have been coughing up stuff for the last two-three weeks now, I had a chest xray, last week and it came back clear, I desperately want to be healthy …now I asked the doctor directly if I could be at risk for lung cancer given my history, and he told me, that if the chest xray was clear, then not to worry…and quite honestly, I don’t need to spend my time worrying that I have cancer, what I want to know from anyone out there is….Is it normal to cough up when you quit smoking weed(and yes, i was using tobacco in my joints this time aswell)??? I personally think that for some people weed never becomes a problem, for me, I know I wasted years…I hope this dosen’t happen to anyone else, it can become a terrible cycle that takes a heavy toll. I would love some feedback please, I don’t really speak to my friends about this…I am trying to move on….
hey there. very interesting post. i had some thoughts these days about smoking pot and I wanted you to tell me how much a person must smoke to have these bad side effects.I usually take half of 1 gram with my friends, we’re usually 4, so it’s like 0.12/person once a week. i’m trying to stop smoking cigarettes and also stop drinking alcohol, so I can balance the whole thing. from my opinion, i find myself labeled as a “soft smoker”. oh and another thing, lately i don’t feel pretty much anymore.
holy shit,some of you guys are getting it bad,iv been smoking for 15years with no problems at all,have a decent job im never unhappy,always friendly to others and am in great health.i never got upset when i couldnt get weed,but i thought it would be a good idea to stop smoking for a while 2months ago due to the amount of money i was spending,after a week or so iv been wakening up in the middle of the night having some real freaky intense dreams.anybody had the same expierence?..i find it really strange that some of you guys after a few days with no weed seem to be losing the plot,could this not just reflect your addictive personality,you need to just chill out a bit and stop thinking about it constantly,but i hope you guys find a way of controling it..
In response to Smart Allec and Damn, try reading the Blog before just rambling your idiotic thoughts off. If you were to read through the entire blog you would realize he is referring to a psychological addiction, not a physical addition. This is well documented in many medical research journals, and should come as no surprise. Just because you can’t relate and/or too stoned or lazy to do research doesn’t make it OK for you to blast someone else’s post with your nonsense.
And for any of you 20 year olds that have been smoking pot for like 2 whole years now and shit (Smart Allec) come back and talk after you have been smoking for 15 years. You have no perspective on a discussion like this because you are a baby. The poster is not talking about smoking 2 joints a week for 2 years. He is talking about regular habitual use of pot for many years. Please don’t start. Thank you. And shit.
Unfortunately though, this blog does seem a bit like propaganda due to the incessant references to the Cannabis Coach. It is one thing to mention it. It is quite another to link to it on 20 different pages in multiple places. You really should remove a lot of your links. Other than that, thank you for the post.
