lol 197?

It was the 80's...

still clean and have made the corner. Yeah!!!!!!!
I smoked weed like most people smoke cigs.
So not addictive whatever. It is if you smoke it 24/7 and never ever run out.

You may have wanted it quite badly. I smoked about 5 joints a day for almost 10 years. And I quit cold turkey when I had kids.

It's not addictive, that's a scientific fact.

I didn't smoke joints that is to wasteful. I did one hits out of a dugout or bong hits or the ole changing color glass pipe that way I could get all or at least most of the smoke.

Wasteful is relative...it all depends on your supply.

Hell, if you're making $200M a year, who cares if you wipe with $20 bills?

Good job, Paul. Hang in there man. After a week, you'll be disgusted by the things. I tried to dip twice after I quit for good. First time I hurled, second time I nearly did. I'm a slow learner but there will be no 3rd time.

Congrats, man! I'm happy for you.

But after years, you'll still crave one when someone lights up. Somehing about that first whiff...

When you drastically cutdown or quit smoking, many people go through an "angry period", usually only for a week or so, then it gradually fades away. You may get pissed off very easily, sometimes reacting irrationally, almost like you are out of control, but you don't realize it. Hopefully cold-turkeyers will understand this and make a conscious effort to control their emotions and not "react up", as I believe these symptons do fade away fairly soon. And then you can start to remember you dreams, wonderful dreams!

In the medium term it is important to understand that the hobbies and past-times you enjoyed when stoned are often a crashing bore while straight, (i.e. video games, walks in the park, etc). So you will need to find new interests which will challenge and entertain you, (bingo?)

If I was going to quit, it would mean a complete change of lifestyle. In fact, I would be a new person. Some of your friends may not like this new guy as much as the old guy. Perhaps you might need to make some new friends, which share interest in the things you enjoy to do while straight...once you figure out what that is...

Bon chance mon ami!

that's the way to do it. i usually smoke by myself anyways so a one hitter or :bong: works great for me :)

here's my "work-station" my fav pipe, 14' bong, kif box, space case, nightmare before christmas zippo (i collect nightmare before xmas memorbilia), 30g ipod video (i'm an apple nerd). two pipes and a pill press didn't make the photo ah well... some good indoor bc buds

oh snap! sorry. not really following the thread theme.. but who does? PBJ

I'm really addicted to marijuana right now. All I can think about is my next bowl and when it's coming. I work really hard and am successful at work but this is started to become a financial burden.

I just broke up with my girl who was also a smoker and in the last 3-4 months with her I've become and extremely heavy user. Hopefully I start to cut back now, but I doubt it will be easy.

It doesn't help that I can just order marijuana from my computer and someone will just bring it to me, and that the prices are half that of those on the street (I get 1/4 oz for $60 or $70 depending on the strain).

I just looked at my purchase history and I cannot believe what I'm doing to myself. This is $780 since September 20th.

The thing is...even as I'm typing this, I just want more weed. I don't want to stop. I just want to have money. And I know this is the wrong frame of mind.

I need help.

MA meeting.

inside voice

omg you broke up with your girlfriend

I have the card, Midwest will prob never see it

Never done it, but my friends are very strong voiced about it not being addictive.


They are full of shit.

gotta love it

Sure make a joke, but she was a pretty big enabler and it's the main reason I broke up with her. And her severe alcoholism.

It isn't physically addictive. You can become dependent on it though.

Damn dude, that's a shit ton of weed. When's the last time you took a break? And have you ever considered taking a break for a month or so just to remind yourself of what life without it looks like?

Seriously, though, if you think you have a real problem, seek help. There's no shame in that.

It's not addictive. A person can become addicted to it though. Just like a person can become addicted to Coca Cola or chocolate.

You smoked an oz in 10 days? Holy shit!
I typically get 1/4 of dro every 3 weeks or so and smoke a bowl after work just to relax

I quit 3 weeks ago because I'm about to switch jobs and need to be able to pass a piss test. Other than occasionally wanting a hit, I'm doing ok with not smoking. That said, I will re-upping once the job is secured.

You should try cannabis butter. You can make your own brownies with it. It's cheap, about $20 to $40 a month. The only problem is you have to wait about an hour before it works and if you eat too much at once you can get sick.

Physically vs. mentally. You don't have withdrawals from it or anything, but you can sure get used to the feeling and miss it when you go a while without.

:drool:

That's a lot of weed though Buck.

I stopped smoking after 4/20 after being pretty much a daily smoker and I had no problems smoking (although I'm thinking about smoking sometime in the next 2 weeks for old times sake).

But man, 700+ in a month is nuts. You were complaining about not having money for food in the fitness thread but you're spending that much on weed. That's pretty much rent money spent all on weed.

Just manage to stay off for about 3 or so days. After that you won't feel the need to smoke.

I've been a pot smoker my whole adult life. I've taken a couple or maybe three six-month to year long breaks in my life but only because it got to the point that weed was making me paranoid, especially that I would have a heart attack or something (mind you I was a very unhealthy person). That doesn't happen anymore.

If you see the picture, I obviously just bought some, so maybe I'll try to ween myself off it with this batch and then take a break and see how that goes. I didn't seriously think NA was an option for a marijuana smoker, but maybe I will have to.

Yes. I am ashamed of myself.

No they're not. I will sometimes stop for months at a time just to give myself a break. If it were addictive, I doubt I could just take it or leave it....

Meh. You gained control over food, you can control this too.

MA, not NA. Big difference.

MA could be a little extreme depending on your situation. Even a couple therapy sessions to talk it out might be able to help.

[/not an expert, but a big believer that mental health is really important]

Here's another option (just found by Googling). Seems to be more self-help oriented.

http://www.smartrecovery.org/addiction/marijuana.htm

How are you ordering it online, anyway? Isn't there a significant chance of getting busted?

California.

This. People who do this for a living know their shit.

He's in California

If you really want to quit, start by getting rid of anything pot related (out of sight, out of mind) and stay away from anyone who smokes, at least in the beginning. Then counseling as DeFace suggested to change your mental state

Have your mom lock you in the closet with a pound of weed and you can't leave until you have smoked it all.


I heard that works with cigarettes, so why not give it a try?

I'm quite shocked that Simplicity didn't post in this thread once.

I can't give any good advice to you quitting, Buck. I love weed too much for that. Just keep your spending and usage under control. I go through maybe 1/2 oz every 2-3 weeks

no they aren't.

I'll volunteer

I wish I could help. When I got into my heaviest MJ usage, it self-regulated. I would start smoking heavy , then start getting paranoid, and need to quit for a while. After a few months (sometimes years), I might come back and enjoy again for a while before I'd hit my ceiling again. MJ has always self regulated for me. Alcohol on the other hand is an insidious son of a bitch that I can drink every day and it still encourages me to drink more.

LMAO


How much does a pound cost, anyway?

Get some self discipline buck.

2500-4000

Depends on the quality. anywhere from $800-$1500 for mids

Ignoring that you could probably get a massive volume discount...

1/4 oz = $60 (from his first post)
1 oz = $240
1 lb = $3840

Seriously don't be(or don't be excessively ashamed that can drive you to use more). Recognize that shit happens in this world. Yes you are responsible for getting yourself into your situation, but you also have the power to get yourself out of it. The worst thing you can do sometimes is to dwell on it(and get depressed for why it happened).

You've recognized that you have a problem which is a huge first step. Now it's time to go fix it. Just practice telling yourself no. Want to smoke, go out for a run and get your endorphins up instead. You live in SD take advantage of the weather. Work out instead of smoke out and kill two birds with one stone.

Yes professional help can help but it can also be a significant expense. You have to decide what you need. But the biggest issue is that it's now time for you to be in control, not what you're addicted to.

If you're going to do that it has to be locked in with a pound of weed and only a pile of cow chips to eat. If that doesn't break someone of the habit I'm not sure what could.

JFC


LMAO

For some reason this thread reminds me of the movie "Club Paradise". Rick Moranis and Eugene Levy score a huge bag of J.

In SoCal top shelf is $300/$400 oz

But... but.... weed doesn't have any side effects of addiction like the other drugs do. /Colorado

Oh, I should also add: MJ was never addictive for me. I know lots of folks who are completely depenent on it though. I think that addiction is much more complicated than X substance is addictive. I feel addiction is so much more complex. A person can get addicted to cleaning their house if that's what their individual chemistry and psychological background facilitates. Then you get into actual psychoactive substances that may have inherent addictive qualities that bond with certain active receptors in the brain, and things get even more complex.

I think I could probably get it for $200. If I was smart I would just buy in bulk, but I'm not very smart, especially with my money.

FFS man, order a couple clones and grow your own. You will find that to be a pretty interesting little hobby with a payoff at the end.

Take the money you would have spent on weed and buy gold or silver coins.

Profit

People get addicted to porn, to sex, hell even exercise, LOTS of shit can build psychological addiction. So in that context weed likely isn't anymore addictive than many other perfectly legal substances and probably less addictive than things like cigarettes.

:doh!:

that's about my range anything low is crap,lol

If you think that most people in Colorado believe that, you're pretty naive. Most reasonable people know that there are possible drawbacks to legalization. They just don't think that the costs of keeping it illegal outweigh the consequences, especially considering that alcohol is a mainstay in society and is far more damaging.

Hey Buck,

If you want I'd like to offer to buy you a copy of "The Total Money Makeover" - I think if you get your finances in order you can get your habit in order.

I'm all for self medicating as much as the next guy but if you can follow the book everything else will fall into place.

What do you think?

Same here and of course, the more you buy the cheaper it gets

I get addicted to everything. I know how unhealthy alcohol and tobacco are for me, so I quit them (well I still do both but I'm not addicted, drink once every other month or so, and thats usually when i use tobacco), but I am completely addicted to weed, sex, the gym, and football.

Other than work and food, those are pretty much the only things that matter to me. Sucks saying that outloud.

I had this Dutch Passion smelled but it was heaven and got 4 seed out it, lol and usually top shelf has no seeds

I would really appreciate that.

Last time I bought some dro here in Iowa, it was 50 1/8 friend prices...60 retail. That was awhile ago, though.

It's a shame it's illegal or else I'd still be a casual smoker.

I hope you don't listen to that turds tips on investing.

This game is neck and neck

I'm not a fan of Ramsey when it comes to sound financial advice in general, but his methods are a good place to start for people who have trouble getting out of bad habits.

a lot of ppl out here like the wax but I'm old school, tried it like it but but give me Bud

Investing is so far down the line at this point - Buck needs a plan

Even Dave Ramsey's investing tips are better than what he is working with

Why not?

nail hits are the shit.

Someone explain this to me.

People on chemo will take MJ to stop nausea and make them eat. Most of what you hear about side affects relate to the munchies and eating.......so how does someone who is fighting flubber justify smoking it? Seems pretty damn counter productive to me.

I've softened my stance a lot of medical MJ and legalizing in general, but posts like these make me scratch my head.....It's not addictive, but it makes a guy smoke his rent and food money....

I lived for a good daily Wake and Bake. That was about 13 years ago.

Just send me what you just bought so you're not tempted to smoke more Buck :)

Isn't the NSA watching this thread?
