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.

I started smoking the devil weed in 1968. About 1/2 0z per month I'd guess. About 10 years ago, I quit completely for about 3 years due to a job I had that required testing. I had no ill effects at all and really didn't miss it much. But yes, life is more enjoyable with it. I'm guessing it isn't entirely lack of ganja causing your behavior.

FTR Skoal was alot harder to quit than the whacky tabbacky.

When you act like a prick 24 hours a day with or without it, it may be tougher to guage your behavior.

You are a bad test sample.

That's pretty much my assessment. I've never had a weed habit, so take this with a grain of salt, but I'm from one of those "stoner" familys. You know the type, my parents were children of the 70s and never quite gave that lifestyle up. Anyway... When I was about 14 my dad quit weed cold turkey because he got a good paying job with Union Pacific railroad that did random UAs. He just up and quit with no ill effects, he said it wasn't even that hard.

He tried to quit smoking many times though and never pulled it off. Died of a heart attack at 48. His death certificate says "smoking related heart disease"

Hah! Yeah that's the absolute truth. People can smell you man, it's strong. Same with cigarettes.

See what I mean? I cant tell whether you just quit smoking weed or not.

I smoked it for a while, about 7-8 yrs. I quit cold turkey one day and haven't looked back. I don't miss it at all. The aroma is putrid. The smell of burnt hair and dog crap...that sweet smell of incense. No, I don't miss it at all.....not at all, the feeling of euphoria and relaxation. The munchies, I love doritos. You know the smell was not that bad, I did'nt really mind it at all. Why am I shaking all of a sudden? Is it hot in here? Jesus, just one hit is all I need....Just one and I won't ever do it again. I can quit again any time! Screw this! I love the sticky!!!

TheBurryMan · 02-13-2006, 11:14 AM

It's all good.

If I had to quit, boredom would be my only symptom.

It's just nice to toke a fat bowl and watch some TV on Saturday afternoon.

How much does half an ounce cost? Just think about all the money that you burned on it over the past 17 years, and then think about the car you'll be able to buy in the future once you quit.

It really depends...back in the day, an eighth went for $20. If your supplier didn't give bulk discounts, that's $80 a half.
