probably the longest i've not smoked in at least a couple of years

started off because my eyes were so dry after laser eye surgery that smoking was a fucking bad idea... after a couple of weeks i could have but was going on holiday in another week so thought i'd try and go a month without just to prove to myself i could

suffered no withdrawls and no cravings... only time i've hankered for a spliff is after work on friday.... so i now think i can fully justify the statement i always made that i'm not in the slightest addicted to it and could stop smoking at any time IF i wanted do...

other intersting thing is i can't say i feel any different... no less tired, don't have more energy, no more movitated at work, don't feel fitter at all

i never wanted to quit.. i enjoy smoking... but this has been an intersting experiment

i'm having such a big fucking joint when i get home on friday :Blazed:

ya don't ever do that ever again. When people tell me stories about quitting i ask why? You should have changed over to honey oil if u were worrying about the smoke.. it's not an addiction thing it just keeps sane in this crazy world..u know a couple hoots before bed never hurt anybody... :Cheerz:

Re:: i haven't smoked any weed in one month....

It's good to test yourself once in while.....bet you're going to make up for it on your holidayz!! :Blazed:

[quote=runningman]You should have changed over to honey oil if u were worrying about the smoke[/quote]

nah it wasn't the smoke i was worried about, it was the dryness that you get from getting stoned... my eyes were painfully dry anyway (eyedrops every half hour) so didn't want to add insult to injury. was thinking about trying some cakes but didnt' want to risk it

i go through phases where i wont smoke for a while.. it just seems (and i dont know if this actually happens, or if i imagine it) that the more i smoke for longer periods of time, the less stoned i get (or the more weed it takes me to get there) so i just stop smoking for a few weeks, and then start up again.. never an intention to actually quit, i like being stoned too much :P

Xeb = Deviant Drug User imo :wink:

:lol: Ya I do this a lot too, not a month unless i need to take a pisser test or something. But two weeks easy. I agree peloquin, after smoking everyday for a week, quit for a week, and then you can get high faster and on less MJ. Can't wait to try some Brownies for my B-day. MMMmmm good.

There's definitely a tolerance level - the more you smoke, the less stoned you get... If you've not smoked for a while though it can really wipe you out - which can be a good thing or a bad thing :Blazed:

try not to smoke at all. you will feel the add'd benefits after a month or so. but you really gotta wait. ... like words come to your mouth quicker. you understand people, and most of all people understand you. your mouth is never dry, nevAr. you can run the mile by three minutes faster. you read, write, and DO math. it's fucking great being sober.

life is beautiful.

were there always this many stoner threads on the board? i dont remember (no pun intended)

asdf, you need to come out of retirement, blaze one up :wink:

Congrats man, Maybe you can keep it up. Not smoking that is.

I agree with this statement, somewhat. I agree that most people get dumb on this stuff. Its because it really does effect your synapses and especially the short term memory. Most of my friends that smoke suffer from this, however, I don't. Seems weird, maybe, but I am pretty much the same person even when I'm high. I take tests stoned because I can concentrate better. If I'm doing more then one thing at a time, I agree because I can't concentrate on more then one thing. But if I only need to concentrate on one thing, its more of an adv then a disadv. Otherwise, I would agree, I know people that should just quit, or at least not smoke most of the time, a lot of people become retards.

Re:: i haven't smoked any weed in one month....

Yeah I quit for a year once.....(for work), and it was no problem at all. no withdrawls or anything.

now I am back to normal...partyin everyday

Re:: i haven't smoked any weed in one month....

xeb give us a 420 report on friday :Smiling:

Just a quick observation: if you started up again, you didn't really quit. :?

I agree a hiatus is a good idea every once in a while. I can usually do that only when I'm out of town.

Re:: i haven't smoked any weed in one month....

im clean since...december 2003

Re:: i haven't smoked any weed in one month....

I quit smoking weed years ago because of drug testing and my sypapses, short term memory or concentration did not get any better. I quit all forms of recreational drug use and only drink on special occasions and I really can't say I'm a better person because of it. I miss smoking a joint every now and then but I'd miss having a roof over my head more.

Re:: i haven't smoked any weed in one month....

I quit smoking 2 and a half years ago... i originally was taking too many drugs (smoke,x,etc) so I just wanted a break. After a month I tried it again and hated it... it makes me paranoid now. I've smoked maybe 4 times since then when I get too drunk to realize what I'm doing, and I hate it each time. Alcohol is my drug of choice now

Re:: i haven't smoked any weed in one month....

yeah! now i drink a lot.....cheers!

lol. pot-o-rama does affect you. and it does make you silly and goofy, and have some short term memory loss. that is known. but it all comes back ... i think. also i have known people who smoke blinties (blunt) and fucking ace complex derivatives. i could careless what you do, you could smoke crack as far i care. just do not bother me, and do not affect my life.

in general i was a "good" boy. never got into trouble by the law, and never had a family, girlfriend, etc drug related problems. but that is me. the problem is the other peops out there, the ones that destroy it for us all. we had a chick in highschool who "smoked" was driving and ended up killing one person, and almost another. another story is tweakers ... people who fucking should not consume ANYTHING ... but air and water. food is pushing it. we had a fella who "smoked" and lost it. started rolling around on the ground, and la la la. i told him to get into the closet and stay there. and so he did. later on we had a buddy come over, and there he was lurking out of the closet, he was told to close the door and stay in there. it was the funniest shit. word?

[quote=Marimba]yeah! now i drink a lot.....cheers![/quote] Alcohol is legal.

Re:: i haven't smoked any weed in one month....

I enjoy it to much to quit....It goes well with the music.

^^^ it shouldn't be. i never heard of someone smoking and killing 4 people. herm ...

... ahem goes with the next upper post.

drink that poison till you puke :RockOn: :Alchy :Bounce:

Re:: i haven't smoked any weed in one month....

Well i smoked it solid for 5 years up untill May 2000 but decided id had enough. Every day id come home from work and whilst still dressed in my suit sit down, build a biffta and smoke my self daft. Id still be sat there 2 and 3 hours later, i never got anything done. Apart frombeing a lazy git when charged it was costing me a bloody fortune, id smoke at least 4 or 5 joints a night every night and more at the weekend. I didnt find it hard to stop at all, i just went on holiday for 3 weeks and didnt miss it at all. Some others have said they didnt feel any difference when theyd stopped but i did. Getting up was so much easier and i felt as though i was alive in a morning. Oh and then theres the fact that i have more money in my pockect :D

Good luck to ya xeb wether ya stay stopped or start again, its up to you.

^^^ tis wis correct. :wink:

see i've always tried not to smoke during the week.. i lapse from time to time but generally just cane it on the weekends. the english way of smoking seems to be more smoking less but more often, wheras my kiwi upbringing leads me to get completly wankered then enjoy being sober till the next weekend. that deals with the tolerance issue somewhat too.. if you're smoking every day then surely pretty soon it ain't even touching the sides

100% clean since 2003 ... but it has made me drinking more since then.

^^^^ yeah give it at least 6 weeks total and I'm sure you'll notice a change. I quit when I was younger and after the 6 weeks passed I actually had a teacher of mine tell me that I was doing much better in class and she had no idea I was even messing with the stuff). I've gotten back into it lately after popping a pill on the weekend, but I had the girlfriend give it to her friends so as not to temp me on the weekends.

I will have to agree with Civic though. It affects people very differently. It just affects me negatively. I've known some very intelligent people who smoked daily and didn't lose any IQ points but I've also seen my cousin get really dumb on the stuff.

There's a long time since I've stopped smoking, in the last years there's no day I ain't smoke, maybe I should stop it for a while. :roll:

i havent smoked weed in 19 months

keep it up :)

unless of course you want to smoke, then um.. have at it?

umm, you guys realize you cant get [i]withdrawals[/i] (notice how thats spelt ;) ) from smoking pot, cause its not addictive, right?

this is true. I remember my new years resolution was to quit smoking...I lasted about 7months, and i didnt miss it at all. I recently started smokin again, and it felt great again (before i quit it was losing the goodness, and bringing paranoia) and had that "home again" feeling.

I am also glad to say that today is my fifth day sober from drinking, and i feel great. Im happier, more energy, and motivation to actually get shit done. I guess im an alcoholic. I would drink about 4 days out of the week, and go on two week binges every now and then. Though I have been goin through mild withdrawal symptoms, such as headaches, nausia, twitching here and there mostly when im trying to sleep. I am also a little depressed, and nervous. I know more booze would take it all away, but it will still be there when i come back to reallity.....Anywho..i just felt like venting a little, lol. :RockOn:

just be on yourself, and keep yourself busy. i went insane after my departure into the real world. but i have found that things i loved in that world are the same in this. plus, nothing beats a natural high. a few days ago i was on the highway listening to an old pole folder set, and this track came on ... fucking bliss. it was so rad. best high i have had in a long.

fuck. we were created almost perfect. hang tuff. you always got us to help you kill the pains or time. :wink:

Re:: i haven't smoked any weed in one month....

Its nice to somoke once in a while not being an addict.

There are few things in my life I will never forget if its about smoking pot.

1. Laugh, laugh...laugh at anybody who was more stoned than me :) (that's a bad one, but that was the rule)
2. Listening to music...sets especially...with Winamp Vizualiation Studio!! Unbelievable!! Oh and Airdrawndagger was the best to listenar...
3. Watching Scream 3 and laughin my ass off of this retarded murderer in mask who never got anyone by the firt attempt.
4. Enjoy eating all kind of stuff....

All those were very valuable expieriences for me...I wouldnt find any of those things so amaizng as it was after smoking pot....oh but music maybe.

This thing just enhance or expand your senses...

right now i didnt smoke for a few months and i dont miss it at all....but when really good occasion to do that appears I will smoke for sure....it has to be some reason..good reason...not just nothing better to do...:)

I wanna try rollercoaster stoned really bad :)
