Smoker for 7 years and I'm about to roast my last blunt....TALK TO ME, GLP

7 years isnt all that long to be a toker. what changed?

drug test?

Just bought a pack of Garcia Vega English coronas.

-_-

you won't last

if you last you won't miss it

smoked everyday for 17 years, just quit in september

after the first two weeks, you get over it
but first two weeks tough, real tough

smoked a few times since then, wasn't into it at all

you miss out on alot of life when you're high

I've just come to the realization that when I started smoking (around my 18th birthday, summer before college), I stopped...accomplishing...anything. I used to defend the creative sparks, but nothing concrete actually comes out of it. High-deas stay high-deas, and it's time to start taking the blame for that.

I'm just sitting here with the end of it in my mouth, trying to prolong this pre-blunt buzz as long as I can. It's a long overdue chapter of my life coming to a close. Pretty depressing, when it comes down to it.

lots of people have their vices
but yeah, get real about all the bullshit my friend
you only go up from here

you get to dream again too

was smoking a gram of wax before i realized that i could no longer defend the use anymore

do you even heroin bro?

Most of the people I know never accomplish anything either, and they arent getting high. So dont expect any miracles.

haaaa..... I have smoked for over 24 years... and I mean SMOKIN'.... I smoke at least 2 grams a day... keeps me level... i am borderline personality, OCD, ADD, insomnia, also have severe bipolar I with psychotic features, and I have tried all meds from Seroquel to Zyprexa, depakote, lithium, natural remedies focusing on magnesium and vitamin b12... nothing works like the herb :) especially strains that have the limonene and linalool terpenes... very mood uplifting, and do wonders for my depression! love the OG kush strain, as well as the Jack herer... both have the BEST terpenes for bipolar depression IMHO


to each his own yo

OP, I admire that if you find you can't do both. It is possible though. It's a habit like anything. You have to set your goals. whether for that day or whatever. If you let the herbal rule, you won't get anything done. But there is a choice. I get it though.

Op. I'm kinda in the same boat. But I'm scared to stop. Smoking weed has been a high point (no pun intended) for me for like 10 years. I'm worried if I stop completely I'm gonna fall into depression. Best of luck to you

I'm also worried if I stop smoking for a few weeks and live life not high for a bit I'm gonna regret all the years I been smoking. But I tell myself it's a flower and it's good for uplifting spirits . But that could be an excuse . I don't know what not getting high for two weeks would even look like. I pretty much have smoked weed every day these last 10 years. I have accomplished some stuff . Made a short film that brought me to New York and Vegas and I'm editing a feAture now but it's like man I been high this whole time I don't know if it's good anymore

I smoked two packs a day for 25 years. I used the patch and was off of them in a month. Been smoke free for 15 yrs now. I dont even think about wanting one. All you need is a real strong will to quit.

25 here, smoked for 7 years, last 4 everyday, last two all day. It's been almost a year sober. You can do it

Dear God did I miss so much productive time, but I tell you this is a good thing to do. There's so much to get done but that's the first step, remember once an addict always an addict. Quit for good, or at least set a year goal, just a couple weeks isn't enough, your brain needs to get its chemical balance again, it's called neuroplasticity and takes up to a year

Well you could be doing even better, stick to video work

I just can't believe God would expose me to the plant if it wasn't good for me. So I'm confused. Just being honest

46 here, and an on/off smoker for almost 30 years. Always hard on the cigs too.

Gave it up a year ago and started lifting.

Best I've ever done, it transformed both my body, health, mind and life.

My only regret now is that I didn't see the light and do it like 20-25 years ago.

Would've been a completely different journey. For sure.

Keep at it.

How you going Op?

Feeling withdrawal effects yet?

It's all about timing and moderation.

And just about everything is bad for you, if done in excess, or out of time and place.

Do you really want to get into the reason why bad/evil exist?

God allows it, that's all I can tell you, but you chose...and yes it serves a purpose. The character you develop from choosing is what matters.

You can do it, you've explored this mountain and there are more mountains out there to explore . Now there's video work to be done and self control to be learned, as the path to self control is long, this is certainly the first step. Control your drug addiction and you can control a lot more

Good wishes

if i had a nickle for every time..

Good insight; applies to me and maybe I should cut it out.

Thank you for your kind words. It means a lot
