Misc Quit MJ after 17 yrs a 1/2 oz a week user. HELP - Page 15

Chief Roundup · 02-12-2006, 01:54 PM

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

NewChief · 10-31-2013, 08:44 PM

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.

**BossChief** · 10-31-2013, 08:45 PM

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.

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?
