Anyone smoke weed every day....and quit for good or for a while??

I used to smoke daily for 4 years, and now I haven't smoked in 4 months. I feel perfectly normal.

Smoked weed every day for 7 years, quit about 3 years ago when I had my first child, I'm 26 now.

Weed didn't effect me first few years, then I started getting paranoid and didn't talk/socialise as much.

After a few weeks of quitting I stopped being paranoid, started going out more again and wasn't as quiet, I didn't want to be smoking around the child or anything.

But it effects people different ways, I know someone been smoking it for 15 years and he does not seem to get any of the side effects but in my case I'm defiantly better without it

Well the title says it all It seems , and the mind is the link
So before any one can make any fair judgement at all. go LOOK at the other side, after this side, with an OPEN mind. So just to be ABSOLUTENESS Here. Stay out with your own shit. And now go back and read the subject WORDS and what they may mean, and think before you type. And also just remember to Get fucked or feel fucked Huge difference. And if you still cant C Fuck off till you can. And if you Still Cant look back. And your'e still reading this You are a good human and that's what we all need AWESOME
Ps I am as U R

Welp day two here, not a lot of urges to go burn one. Feeling more energetic since I did not fall asleep blown last night, instead of waken and baken...its bacon and eggs for this guy.

No benefits, dont think that just because you quit weed that all of the sudden your lifes going to come together.

Mind you i only smoked organic weed, i know some freinds of mine would complain about 'hang overs' from all the chemical shite thy put in it.

If your lifes a fucking mess, smoking weed probably wont help, but perhaps you should concentrate on how to improve your life if thats your aim, rather than just blaming weed.

THIS!

Yep, being high makes even borinng things fun.

If your life is a mess it ain't from smoking weed, that is for sure.

Do you want to quit but you're finding it hard to stop? Have you looked into treatment programs or support groups for marijuana addiction?

I smoked for like 20-30 years and suddenly all this new hydroponic shit started making me feel like I was having an anxiety attack so I quit smoking, it just wasn't fun anymore. it was my body's way of telling me I didn't need weed anymore. I don't miss it at all, you change as you get older, if it still made me feel they way it did when I was 18, I'd still smoke it. I don't need a drug or substance of any kind to live a happy and fulfilling life and neither do you OP.

HI
One of the best products that I have ever come across to quit smoking is Nicorette Gum and I believe in that product because today with the help of that I used Nicorette Gum that allowed me to actively control on how much nicotine I used & when I used it.
I used Low Strength 2mg Gum: Since it was suitable for me, I use to smoke approx 12 cigarettes a day.
And so with the 12 Week Nicotine Replacement Plan of Nicorette I quit smoking. Today it’s been almost more than 6months and I don't get any cravings.

Thanks and Cheers to Nicorette and its Quit smoking Products. [link to www.nicorette.in]

LIfelong smoker.
3 hits at 3 o clock every afternoon.
only ever clean homegrown.
loved it mothers milk.

now nine weeks without.
life is equally sweet, equally vibrant, a lot more clarity and action.

will smoke again but only ceremonially.
beautiful plant this, has my respect.

I recently quit too, about 2 weeks sober now(trying to find a new job). I smoked only a bowl a night, after work, for about 3 years. I never really smoked to get stoned though, just buzzed a little to help me calm down after work(I work a very physically demanding job, really stresses me out sometimes). I've been smoking off and on since 18, I'm 30 now.

The only effects I've noticed up until this point is that I dream more often now. Time also goes by quicker for some reason now too. I also notice that I dont over analyze shit as much now. Its weird how when your high, its like you come up with all these ideas and shit but never act out on them because you lose the motivation to do anything. It causes you to put things off till tomorrow and when tomorrow comes you forget what you wanted to do lol.

Smoked nearly daily for 20 years, then stopped, 7 years weed free.

Refocus - find real interests - SPORTS , active sports. bike riding, sailing is a blast, very physical and chicks love to sail.

Running is boring but hiking and climbing can be cool if you have the areas.

Do non-couch potato things. avoid being in situations similar to the past, make new friends while doing new things in the areas of interest you are involving yourself. canoeing and kayaking are cool too - I like physical boating, power boating is a little boring.

last create a hobie you enjoy, and pursue it, also have a career similar to your hobie (know what you like first, i you don't - start experimenting and find out)

just dont smoke it

that's all


easy to tell hard to do

LOL

btw yes

sailing helps

I used to smoke weed every day, morning noon and night for 5 years then i quit and it was hard mentally. It took me like 2 years to get through my addiction. Ive been clean ever since and no longer have cravings.

Yep, i often give uo for long periods of a couple of months to a couple of years. I have recently started again to help with my sleeping which is working really well. You never get withdrawl or any of that crap, thats just lies plain and simple. Anyone saying they are hooked on mary jane is a fucking liar, period.

Total bullshit. I have been smoking mary jane on and off since I was 15, i am now 42. I have never, ever had any ill effects, ever. Tobbacco is addictive, mary jane isnt.

pussy ass quitter, weed stops you from craving the poisons they put in the food. It breaks the hold of the matrix.

I smoked weed everyday for 5 years 18-23, for a while it was an eighth (3.5g's) a day. I wanted to quit from age 19 on, or at least smoke less frequently but I couldn't, I was addicted. I couldn't sleep without it, or have fun without it. When I quit I unable to sleep for 2-3 days at a time for several months, was super irritable, super depressed. I had to go to a doctor and got prescribed neurontin to deal with it.

So to the guy above saying that the idea of people getting addicted to weed is a bunch of lies, you're the one lying, some people get truly addicted. If you want to burn trees, go right ahead, legalize it, and enjoy yourself, but addiction is very real. I never felt like I couldn't stop drinking alcohol, so does that mean alcoholics are making it up? Like alcohol, many people never have a problem with weed, but for some people, they can't stop smoking it, it's too good for us. I smoked two packs a cigarettes a day and that was a complete breeze to quit compared to weed. A substance doesn't have to be heroin or cocaine to have the potential for addiction.

yes.

I had to stop smoking as well, and this is over a year ago now, because I was getting massive psychic attacks while I was high.

I mean completely debilitating psychic attacks where I was no longer in control of my body.

And yes, it was just plain old weed with nothing added. I know, because my friend grew it where I lived in the States.

there is only 3 downsides to bud:

-its illegal in a lot of places. getting caught in places where its still criminalized could be a problem.

-its expensive. if you get decent stuff and smoke daily, you are dropping a decent amount on it monthly. if you cant afford it, that could be a problem.

-it makes doing nothing way too much fun. definitely has an impact of your level of motivation and drive. if you are prone to laziness, that could be a problem.

if you can deal with those issues, i see nothing else wrong with it.

I smoked daily for 10 years, never thought I could live without it and now I could never imagine going back to it. Quitting was one of the hardest things I have done. Sucks, but what worked for me was cold turkey. I couldn't eat, I couldn't sleep, I was miserable. I thank God everyday I was finally able to give it up and life is good without it.

yes ...benifits none...

ps quiting was easy
