+ 2 WHY I NEED TO STOP SMOKING WEED
1973....That was the first time I had the pleasure of smoking weed, and even at 12 years old, I KNEW weed and I were going to be friends for life. Weed is my Prozac.... it calms me, opens up a creative side, helps me eat shit that otherwise would make me puke...(fucking chicken breasts), makes GTA 5 a LOT more fun to play, and makes even my wife attractive if I smoke over a pound in one sitting.
But weed is puttin the DICK to me big time-----and I need to do something.
I don't know if I'm just getting old, or my dealer is lacing my shit with lead, but my ability to get shit done while smoking a bowl every few hours has seriously diminished. Everything is fuzzy. I forget to pay trivial shit like electric bills and car insurance. My house is a mess half the time because porn takes top spot above stupid shit like dishes and taking the trash out---fucking pizza boxes and Red Bull cans everywhere. I cant find shit half the time because I cant remember where I left it, and I'm DAMN lucky I have great people in place to run the shop for me because I've become nothing more than a noncontributing paracite over the past year.
So----- I'm done. I have to stop smokin weed because I'm (apparently) one of those people who dont seem to handle it well. I dont know why. It's like drinking---- cant handle that either:: 3 shots and I'm ready to fight everyone, and everytime the cops are involved and I either have new charges to deal with, or cant come back into town until shit blows over. Weed is different--- I dont fight on weed. The problem is I don't do ANYTHING on weed.
Now I'm sure you guys are going to tell me how productive you are while you smoke weed, and how you know people who are millionaires and weed never fucked thier productivity. Thats GREAT! I envy you. Have at it and smoke one for me. But you may wanna consider where you MIGHT be --- how much better you MIGHT be--- if you left it alone.
I'll leave you with this:: Everyone I know from school--without exception---who partied HARD then and still does now--- NONE of them have any shit. NONE of them. They live in a little house or trailer...work their little $12/hour job that barely pays the weed and cable bill.... and are too fucking burnt to ponder what they COULD do. I'm NOT anti-weed. I'm anti-slacker, and unfortunately for me, that's what I become when I make it a part of my day.
Maybe there's a solution somewhere--- maybe a way to cut back, but I doubt it. I'm like a goldfish--- you put unlimited food in my tank, and I'll eat that shit untill I explode.
Maybe I should start smoking fish food.

Good on ya man, you quitting weed is equivalent to Hugh Hefner quitting titties.
Wow a pound in one sitting lol. I would only limit my weed to at night like a few hours before bed with my girl and then we'd just pass out. Deff helped me with sleeping but I can see how it causes what your describing. I'm usually glued to the couch when I smoke. We just recently stopped because our tolerance was building up and we weren't even getting that high anymore. Maybe only smoke it at night before bed that way you still get your fix but can still get shit done during the day?
Plus you build an immunity to weed pretty quick too.. The longer you've been off it the stronger it gets.. But if it's sitting there chances are I'll smoke it myself :)) just buy a score every now & then for the weekend? Fuck alcohol!!
Yea...and TOO quick at that...tolerance deserves respect if u wanna get the best bang for your buck...
Again, that is completely strain dependent.
X2 on the strain. The higher thc concentration,the longer the drug lasts, from my experience.
If it won't last three hours on 3-4 tokes it won't make my cut
Had to stop from laughing @ over a pound at one sitting :))) I've loved it all my life too man, but it does kill motivation. Try to leave it for the weekends as a healthier alternative to alcohol? TRY is the key word tho :))
goth it use to be like that for me in my younger days so I gave it a long break,,about 8 months ago I got hooked up with the medical strains and let me tell you it is fantastic I got energy I don't crash meaning that tired and dragged out feeling no headachs ...no anything but feeling energized different strains treat different symptoms I like the kosh like sour kosh all you ha ve to do is press in medical marajuina strains on your google.... and no I don't live in Colorado. I like kosh great for chronic pain my wife is a cancer survivor and the chemo tore her up she is in terrible pain all time so I started getting it for her and 2 hits no pain its wonderful and percs and other bs didn't help but a few hits its really a wonder drug need legal
rocketballzI believe the word is "kush", not kosh
Correct ,
Going to give that a try... thank you
I haven't smoked "weed" since 1983 but back the we called it pot. Lol
StevebI was born in 83
If I'd known that brother I would have stopped by the hospital and we could have smoked some to celebrate. JK bro I'm an old guy!
Lol we should start a group on eroids called
"The marly club" lol
Just smoke when you've done for the day, use it like a reward. Or just have a little bit before bed.
It's hard to kick weed 100%, i tried in 2007, obviously i failed lol. It's not easy, I've never sweated in bed like that ever, not when I kicked h or on tren, couldn't understand why I was sweating so much, i was only on bud at the time ffs, nothing worse than getting in a wet bed after you've been for a piss.
Jesus Christ. .. you guys know weed so well I had to check which website I was on.
Right is this eroid or enuggs?
I often just stop for a few or even several months. I have never been a heavy user per se anyway so other than maybe being a little short with people for a couple days I don't even notice. The key is moderation if you are going to use and that is true with everything. If you cannot moderate then you must stop.
i fell for you mate, do what i did and just start snorting no xplode instead! intense energy.........bhahahahahaha
I was a useless blob when I was smoking on the regular. Gave it up about 4 or 5 years ago. Coincidentally since then I lost 60lbs, got engaged, bought a house, got married and got a couple promotions.
I will occasionally smoke a bowl for one reason, and thats to avoid taking one of my sleeping pills.
you got it down brother.
Moderation is the key. Some can do it, some can't. I have a hard time moderating things but I refuse to let anything control me or bring me to a place I don't want to be. If you can moderate, a few puffs or a few drinks here and there help me relax, socialize and have a good time but I know my limits. Always have and nothing will make me exceed them.
Check out this good read in the NYT. One of my favorite pieces. Brings up an entirely different subject but one I find very interesting and thought provoking.

Everything you described is what made it easy for me to stop doing it. Before you light it remember what you wrote here and it just might help.
Funny this pops up. The company that I work for has a CEO with a son that has been in the same situation. Kid could be driving a Ferrari right this second but chooses weed over anything important like taking over his fathers company some day. At 25 he is young but as his at work caretaker I have to have cash on hand to pay him by the day at the end of the day in cash and is broke the next morning. He truly is the laziest guy I know due the mass amounts of weed that he smokes.
Take a drug holiday...a week off....make a list to get some things done you have been neglecting and complete.your undone tasks. Breathe...open your eyes....and see clarity in your own spot light because if you cant do it, no one else will be able to. Start UAs on your self and monitor your usage. Lets say u stop for four days and u really feel like u wanna smoke. Test urself. If ur POSITIVE, no mj. Wait untill ur negative to use a prescribed amount that isnt too much. Hang in there.bro..u can do it
You're puffing on too much of that couch lock stuff! Cannabis Indica isn't your friend.
StevebTry moderation, do you really think you need to quit? Avoid any Indica strains, those make you lazy. I was able to stay motivated with Sativa strains. I could even go to the gym right after and have a great workout.
I don't know how to tell the differenice unless I sample everything I get thing I get lol
StevebIndica is Kush, short and fat plants with big nugs.
Sativa is Chronic, tall thin plant with small nugs.
The only thing to watch for tho with certain sativa-doms is the anxiety or paranoia than can come with them. The trick is to find the strains that work for you. In medical or legal states this isn't so hard to do , for the rest you need to get out and vote.
^^^^this^^^^definitely look into sativa
StevebSativa would give me energy and everything seemed positive. I would tear it up at the gym because I would not realize I was tired. With the old stains of White Widow, Sour Diesel, and Orange Crush I was feeling great and motivated. With the new Sativas like OG Master Kush I had no motivation to even stand up. And with Kush edibles I can stay in bed half the fucking day.
It's been about 7-8 years since I last toked (random drug screens often for work). Best strain of sativa for me was good Ole jack herer and NYC sour diesel AND Strawberry Cough. Which were considered "hybrids" but we're sativa dominant. Nice and tasty and didn't give me that lagging feeling like most indica strains would do. It's actually very easy to become self reliant in this area which is what I ended up doing for a time
StevebReal Sour Diesel is only supposed to be about 5% India and the rest Sativa.
Yes sir , indica was introduced just to produce a more robust plant and help fatten the buds up.
StevebI think it's funny how expensive Sour D is on the east cost. On the west coast it's dirt cheap. Another reason New York sucks.
Sour d is Dirt cheap up in NorCal it's like 1400-1700$ per lb in NY or jersey shit goes for like 2500$+
Shit try scoring that where I'm at man.....it's highway robbery without a license! I only know cuz the wife still tokes. That's why when I was still chiefing I made an investment and produce it myself.
Hybrids are the real deal like sour og aka 818 headband !! 60% Indy 40 % sati
StevebYeah hybrids win out in a lot of the competitions but I'm saying stick to Sativa only if you want to get things done throughout the day.
Agree yea sativas won't put u down like hybrids or indys
Man I was also in love with maryjane I mean she was my main thang but I recently had to break up for the same reasons I miss her but ill one day get back with her I mean I did save a lot of top strain seeds ;-)
Same reason I stopped over 3 years ago. Couldn't even find the motivation to do the most basic tasks in life. Man I was so lazy I would sleep on the couch cause I was to lazy to get up and walk 10 feet to my bedroom. Since stopping the difference has been insane jn all aspects of my life. Memory cognitive function motivation handing responbities. I could go on and on. It wasn't hard to quit. Fucking cigarattes are another story tho. Been trying to quit those for years and I always to back. But weed once I stopped I never looked back
AnonIt helps u make better gear right
uuuuhhhhhh..... yeah.
Yep...made with love and cookies...:)
Bro -
First, stop beating yourself up.
Second, you're well on the way to stopping. Why? Cause you have admitted it's a problem and it sounds like your desire to stop is genuine.
If I could stop drinking, you can stop smoking. Booze almost killed me for real - I took alcohol abuse all the way to the top.
There's got to be a 12 step program for weed. Find one. I hated and I mean hated AA but it did help.
People stop smoking weed bro. They end it. They stop and never look back. No reason you can't.
GH
LOL... it's hard brother. The craving for that buzz is it's own beast.
Your words are appreciated and noted. I'm gonna do this!..:)
Seems these days theres so many options with strands that have different effects? Maybe youre just getting sold the lazy strand.....I didnt smoke weed until I was 24sh, then didnt stop for 5 or 6 years. Took 6 years off of and now only smoke once a week, or less. Have similar experience with seeing others that smoke daily and lack things that I have.
To each their own, but maybe if you can cut back (if thats possible) you can find the benefits you once had from it? Honestly, quitting completely probably a good move since youve noticed so much personal change. Good luck to you!
