I go long periods of time between smoking and sobriety. Right now, I am smoking too much and ciggarettes EHH I need to quit those like asap, btw I agree sobriety is the best. One period of time 3 Summers ago I used to run 3 miles in the morning when the sun came up. This one particular day I was listening to my minidisc player and I had wavvy gravy on it, then the sun started rising and I felt the endorphins in my legs and body. I felt a warm feeling in my head, it was an incredible natural high.

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

you are right.. it certainly isnt physically addicting. anyone who stops can tell you that.

but mental addiction is a different beast all together. pot is one of the most mentally addicting things there is. because.. well.. it feels good. and its fun... the types of withdrawls you get are related to "man, it would be fun to get high right now" or "this concert would be cool with some weed" or whatever... and while it isnt necessarily physically paining, it still sucks.

try not having sex for a while. (not having sex? try with masturbation... and shutup, yes you do it).

you will be able to do it just fine. but it will suck.

there's no reason to stop smoking. god put it here for us, you and me, to blaze uppp. :Blazed:

viva la mota !!

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

I would love to be able to get the enjoyment I used to get from a spliff all those years back. I was a heavy user for quite a few years, and I have to tell you I loved it. Then it happened, I don't know when or why, but I started getting paranoia from it, and it got worse and worse - this must have gone on for months and months. I knew that if I had carried on I'd end up in a nut house. The key is, as soon as your body starts showing you the signs, pack it in. It's not worth risking your mental health for. Strange though, I'm fine with everything else: pills, coke and even acid?

Now, after not smoking a joint for over a year, I have to say that I am a lot sharper, my memory is improving leaps and bounds and I'm not a paranoid hermit. It took about 6-8 months to get my head straight though.

Fucking hell, I'd love to be able to smoke like I did back then. Good times. Oh well, there's always beer :)

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

for me, it was a lot easier to quit smoking cigarettes. i've quit smoking butts for over 3.5 years (not even a single drag) but i find it difficult to get the ganja out of my life.

and yeah, if you do smoke too much, it undoubtedly affects your mind/brain in some way. i'm definitely not as sharp as before. it is also nice to take a couple of days off before smoking again just because you really do get used to being high so you obviously don't feel it as much.

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

I've been wanting to make a post on the "effects" of hippie lettuce for a while now and I'm glad I see someone other than me has not procrastinated at it as badly.

I for one dont believe that puffing makes you floopy. The debates on this issue have been blasted and protected in defiance by the medical community and the believers. I read a report once on CNN that said the Harvard Medical Journal did experiments on moderate to heavy smokers in an effort to point out the calculative ability of individuals who were indulging themselves in drugs.

Moderate smokers who were huffing 11 J's a week and heavy were ashing 90 and above. (Fucking 90 J's was unbeleivable, like getting up and brushing your teeth with the fucking plant, but hey, that's what was in the report).

Anyways, on the IQ tests (according to the report), the results were inconclusive as the moderate users were performing marginally better than the the heavy users on certain tests (mind you key words being certain tests). But then the counter arguement was that "who is to say those performing better were not already more intelligent to begin with and those who were heavy users weren't natural idiots to begin with".

The point being, even after quitting, it can and is possible to revoke the "effects" by exercising your brain. I used to be a prolific user and 2002 was a phase in my life I thought I felt I couldn't understand shit...... affected my work, life, self confidence, relations..... it was a harrowing experience.... but I continued to push myself, telling my self I could get rid of it .............. and I did.

Like I read in a post before, when you smoke, you dont feel like doing anything. If you're stoned all the time, you dont do shit all the time. Lack of brain exercise just makes you naturally slower......has nothing to do with weed but a mere after effect.

In all honesty, even more than having positive effects of red wine to your heart, I'd rather light a spliffy, put on a banging diggerz set and just let the hours roll by rather than go out drinking and become silly and get into stupid fights......

what do you guys think ??

oh and by the way...... viva la greenie :RockOn:

[b]PS:[/b] I also read a report where dropping and lighting up is by far the most brain destructive activity to indulge in so be careful those of you who are lighting up and dropping........ trust me, I did it for 2 years and most defo faced the effects.......

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

you got something going ...

lettuce burning is fine. as you -e- i would prefer people do that then slam some shiltz and start killing each other over something that is irrelevant and miniscule. lettuce burning does have a higher rate of carcinogens, compared to stigs. so there is a health risk, but fuck it. living on this planet is a health risk.

i have been clean for a while, and frankly i love it. i wake up supa easy, eat more (yes strange), and notice a lot more with my own two eyes, then yet before. do not get me wrong ... i miss the lettuce tossing. but yet i know there is a time and place. with becoming a Father my life style has changed much. i have someone i need to support and nurture. there really is a no "me" time. which is fine, i have had plenty. i know when i am older i will be sitting on some stoop smoking a fattie. some young kids will walk by and look at me ... "that old man is trip'n ... look at him"

if it becomes legal ... i will build my house out of lettuce and burn it. o. and i will be inside. :YeaRight:

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

smoke up Jonny! :Bingo: :P

Nuff respect to you for not smoking mary jane but myself i wont stop toking the stick:roll:

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

Man I feel like such a loser. I haven't smoked pot in over 6 years. That is some crazy shit right there.

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

I smoked first, then tried everything but needles. Partied heavy for 5 years. Then backed off, except for the occasional. Now, 6 years since I smoked or did anything. Don't miss it at all. In fact, life is better without the crap. You could not have told me that back in the 80's and early 90's though. You know weed is not addictive ... physically. But it is mentally. I was in love with weed. Did it at stupid times, like during a family reunion with my cousin. STUPID!!! :Whoaa:

I finally came to realize. In the beginning, drugs were fun and an escape from the reality I did not want to face. After a while, the drugs became my reality, and forced me into directions I now wish I did not have to go. The drugs became my new reality.

Looking back, I wish I had just faced the true reality of life on this planet, with all its SHIT, instead of only delaying the inevitable, and ending up making life harder for me now.

STAY OFF THE CRAP ... YOU WILL BE THANKFUL LATER! :Smiling:

Totally agree. Back in the day when I would drop pills I would get so fucked I couldn't truly appreciate the music b/c I was FUCKED up.

When I went out smoked up and had few drinks, nothing crazy just enough to feel how we say back "REAL NICE" I would have had the best time. I was totally in control, could converse with people and no one would know I was trashed compared to pills when your just a fucking zombie or when you drink to much and end up puking.

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

Is it either being clean or smoking it every day?

I sometimes drink, I sometimes smoke some weed. Not every day, just sometimes. Works great. Doesn't affect anything.

Did my finals on math in secondary school on alcohol...got a higher score than ever before that year. :mrgreen:

i thought they taught pot smoking in school in the netherlands :shock:

j/k :wink:

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

When the inspection's not watching :WinkNSmi:

Did my first in primary school, but they also teach you to moderate. After I finished it I had my chick teacher bend over and did her from behind. Awesome.

:Bingo:

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

My excuse for tokin 24/7 was to help with the real drug withdrawals. Been about a year now though, so don't know if that really works any more.. And I don't care what anybody says, weed is not addictive. Mentally or physically.

.....i'm smoking right now. :Blazed: :RightOn:

Last year I quit smoking too. I quit x like 2 years ago. I been like 1 mounth without smoking, but then I started again. I like it so much. But do you know something? During the time I wasn?t smoking, I replaced it for alcohol. So I realised that I looked for that state of mind smoking or drinking. I know that maybe it?s not normal...so now I?m talking it with my psychiatrist.

Omm
