Quit MJ after 17 yrs a 1/2 oz a week user. HELP

[Chief Roundup]

Have any of you guys ever quit and struggled like I am? I know it is what I want to do but I am alienating everyone around me. Man this sucks. I can't seem to control myself. I am not yelling but I am so confused and emotional like a woman right now it is horrible.

With tax-free returns, and compounding at 7 percent per year under the assumption that he was going with a solid conservative stock fund, his marijuana money would be $40,162.96 today if he had invested it.

Hopefully that will help him shake the habit.

america is full of vice's. if he didn't spend the money on pot, it'd probably be on booze. if i were to quit, i'd probably spend my money on ammunition. or therapy and a prozac prescription.
the only reason i would ever quit though would be for a better job. but since i'm in school for that better job right now, i see no reason too.

I'd love to see the look on the face of the IRS examiner when some dumbass actually pays taxes on weed selling profit.

they might not even do anything, just take the money and say "thanks, dumbfuck"

why is everyone hung up on this job/drug testing thing?

I have gotten 2 jobs that tested without missing a toke.

just sneak in clean piss.

the people that work there don't give a shit. you could probably walk in holding a bottle in plain sight.

Depending on the quality of what you were selling/smoking you were either screwing people blue on shwag or giving them a helluva deal on kind. And getting a HP at a time, I'm guessing it's shwag..... so who the hell pays $25 for an eighth of shwag?

Keep in mind that I was assuming a conservative stock fund. Your returns could be much greater.

I'll see if I can get Herzig to tell me how much money he "wastes" on golf each year. That should be fair since they are both for recreation.

If you can tell me how many years you've been doing that church stuff, and how much you put in the collection plate each week, I can estimate how much money you'd have if you had just stayed home and watched football.

Take it from an old hydroponic grower, hydroponics have nothing to do with the quality of the product. I used the nutrient film technique which was developed at Rutgers University. The quality is directly related to the quality of the parent plants. And having the good sense to get rid of the male plants. I used clones only so I didn't waste anything growing males. I'll grant you that hyroponically grown dope is usually very good. But that is because growers that are sophisticated enough to use hydroponics are also very skilled at growing dope. Shitty seeds yield shitty dope no matter how you grow it.

Did you ever have to shoot a nosy revenuer, skip?

[kcfanXIII]

but dosen't growing hydroponically avoid leaching of thc by the soil? this is what i have been lead to believe for years.
