Not smoking pot

[Katipan]

Growers work 80 hours a week. And it's not easy labor to chop down a harvest. Then buck it. Then trim it. Then weigh it. Usually standing the whole time while wearing stifling gear.

If Big Daddy's son becomes a piece of shit. It's comical to blame cannabis.

Welp, this game is a really good substitute for weed...

haven't smoked weed since the early 90's... I would though if I didn't have to piss in a cup .
The day I retire I am gonna smoke a blunt if I can figure out what it is

So, it's been a week now. Are the withdrawal symptoms mostly gone?

Yeah I'm doing a LOT better. Would I like to burn one? Of course. But I'm not CRAVING it, and I've found plentry of stuff that needs fixed around the house in addition to packing for my future move. I've listed more records for sale online, and just been more productive in general since I haven't been sitting on the couch burning it down watching TV after work - in fact, I'm so physically and emotionally exhausted after work, that smoking weed would almost be redundant anyway.

I have high terp CBD oil that I vape/use as tincture/baking oil/etc that seems to help, as well.

So, yeah, I can do this.

I've got a more positive outlook, and I needed to clear my head.

I may smoke weed again, someday, but never on the level I've done for the past 25 years. I've got so much more to experience on life.

And I'm looking forward to it.

Thank you for asking.

That’s great. Moving to a new location will help you make these changes too. Good luck!

Congrats, it sounds like you're doing well and life in full consciousness suits you. Maybe sober life will open a lot of new doors.

Hopefully. Doesn't seem like today is that day. People are ****ing stupid. ****.

[rabblerouser]

****, now I know why I smoked so much pot...

Because going without it SUCKS.

I just want to scream. Loudly. But I can't, because I'm at work.


I hate my ****ing life right now.

So...sometimes I sleep okay.

Sometimes not so much.

Have you tried melatonin? It’s the chemical that tells your body it’s time to sleep. It’s natural and cheap as hell.

I'm going to pick some up today.

From the age of 17 all the way until 3-4 years ago (age 31), I smoked pot probably 300 days of the year on average. And I don’t think there is anything ****ing wrong with it. I am not ashamed of it. Pot opened my mind, helped me find humor in things when things weren’t going well, instilled GOOD decision making...seriously, I would kick back and think things through thoroughly before making decisions unlike alcohol...which brings out the impulsive, 50 foot tall and nuke bomb proof version of me that I hate. I credit some of my worst decisions I’ve made in life to alcohol. I lose my inhibitions sometimes. Never with pot...ever.

And now I work at a place where I am subject to random piss tests. I just got off work and after a stressful night like tonight, there is nothing that I would rather do right now than just kick back and smoke a bowl and watch Always Sunny. But no. Random piss tests. And I make relatively decent money, so it would be catastrophic if I lost my job. It pisses me the **** off. I hate having to resort to the occasional beer-drinking after work because alcohol is, for sure, much worse for me than weed is. Seriously, **** this shit. I wish they would test you in a manner which they can tell when you had smoked and if you were stoned at work. All I want to do is smoke a ****ing bowl when I get off work in the morning and the kids are off to school...and there is nothing ****ing wrong with that. Hell, being 3rd shift, it’d ****ing help me sleep. And of course, alcohol keeps me up.

You found weed helped you sleep? I felt the same way in terms of it helping me get to sleep but not for quality of sleep. I remember being stoned a lot before going to bed and barely dreaming. I think marijuana has an effect on the REM sleep cycle where disrupts the last stage of it and thus we don’t dream. Not dreaming at night sucks. It was no coincedence to me as to why I wasn’t remembering information.

I’ve quit now for about a month and Im dreaming like crazy and also remembering stuff way better than I did going to sleep at night stoned. I think marijuana plays a role in impairing our memory by disrupting the last stage of the REM sleep cycle. I feel that difference at least in my life.
