Anxiety. I used to get those every once in a while to. Got extremely introspective to the point it was kinda scary.

grab a marlboro and a six pack
yeah trade your addictions
why stopping?

I don't smoke, but a good friend of mine does.

Apparently, these new vapes use much less weed and don't cause near the lung damage as smoking.

I have heard of N2o vapes that are battery powered and are portable. I have even heard some people drop them in Big Gulp cups and extend the straw for public consumption.

Then, there are the vapes that look like e cigarettes that use hash oils and waxes.

If I were to use mj I would use one of these methods as they use less, dont smell and are much easier on your body.

If you live in CA with a simple sports injury, you can even get a prescription to buy, use and possess legally.

I smoked cigarettes for 40 years and stumbled on a real easy way to quit:

1. have a massive heart attack
2. go into a coma for 3 days
3. wake up and be told you died three times
4. have terrible hallucinations and nightmares for two weeks in the Intensive Care Unit

That should do it. If you go through that and take up smoking again then "Your and idiot"

Who was talking about cigarettes?

The post is about ADDICTIONS. Pay attention.

wow a flash from the past. I quit for several years. Best thing I ever did. It ended up giving me the power that I know I can quit anytime and that it is not that hard. Now I don't smoke everyday, don't feel the need to smoke everyday anymore either. Quitting although difficult at times, was a great thing.

Sometimes I wonder how rich my dad and brother would be if they didn't blow so much cheese on pot. I don't even want to know the annual # they spend.

That explains why you have no money for food.

First off, just quit if you're wanting to quit.

Secondly, though, you need to change your intake methods and habits. You're obviously being wasteful with your weed. If you're rich, who cares? You're not, though, so if you keep smoking, you need to reconsider your habits.

I think weed users are hilarious creatures of habit. You buy an oz, you smoke 7/8ths of it quickly...the last 1/8th you make last the same amount of time as the 7/8ths. If you buy a quarter, you smoke it in a week. The next week, you buy a half...you smoke it in the same amount of time. If you are low on cash, you can stretch weed out for days. You smoke the kief from your grinder, you scrape the resin from your pipes...it's disgusting.

Weed use is different than food in that...when I buy enough groceries to last a month, I still eat the same amount of meals a day. When you buy enough weed to last a month...you smoke all of that shit in a week and a half.

Glad I never picked that shit up.

I will admit that I don't know the effects of smoking weed...never tried it.
But there is some interesting reading in these posts that suggest that smoking it does have ill effects (as some of you have described) and is not a miracle drug like the pot head Bump says it is. Base on your postings it IS addictive and you can't quit it very easy.

Hey Chief Roundup,

Good stuff man. What are some of the benefits you are experiencing from quitting? If you don't mind me asking.

I'm an occasional pot smoker myself (I.e., 1 joint a week that's it) I want to give this up though entirely and be clean. Is there any advice you could offer on what I could do that may help? I hangout with people that do it. I think that poses itself to be a problem surrounding myself with people who do drugs because every time Im around them I feel like Im in a situation where Im battling temptation.

I don't want to do it but I kinda do. I wanna do it to blend in with the social scenery and I don't want to do it because well unfortunately I have depression and I know that by doing any drug doesn't matter what it is, is an example of me not treating my condition to the best of my ability. And that is why I feel guilty every time I do it. That's the thing.

The real conflict is, I have a condition and have a social circle/network of friends which is useful in helping me cope with my condition but they do drugs which doesn't help me with my condition. It's almost like its counterproductive thats the thing. These folks aren't bad dudes. They just happen to smoke pot and lots of it. Do I turn around and distance myself from these folks and cut off my social network? But then, I'd be lonely and wouldn't have many people to talk to which would make my condition worse that way. But, it would make it easier for me to quit! Or, do I continue to hangout with them and find a way to muster up that courage, strength and just say no every time they engage in it? That's something Im struggling with now.

Its just not having that strength, will and courage to say no and always giving into the temptation.

What a difference the passage of time makes. I can remember when some people were sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for having ONE joint in their possession. I'm not sure if the weed made you paranoid or the draconian laws we had at the time. Now I can legally grow a plant in my home for my own consumption. (Colorado)

Are you smoking with your friends a lot? Do they at least pitch in? What is your munchies bill?
Next time you want to load a bowl load it up then set it down and go for a walk, whatever you may enjoy, or even walk to drive to the store to get a soda or a .25 cent piece of candy to kill some time.
