Stopping the ganja (Discussion)

bigcat.blaming weed for your problems is a cop out. i would imagine you find yourself more productive almost because of a placebo effect, you think you should be more productive because you stopped smoking weed.

i smoke weed every day, not all day, usually after work or whenever on the weekends, nothing better than smokin a bowl in the AM when you're hung over. weed doesn't effect my life in a negative way at all, after all weed is medicine and like any other medicinal drug, not smoking yourself retarded is key, but thats easy to achive, just don't smoke weed all day every day

i kno weed effects everyone differently, but i think youre taking the wrong approach, if you want to stop smoking go for it but you could only smoke before bed if it helps you sleep (me too brother) or only on the weekend with your buddies, not smoking weed seems pretty silly to me ;)

zuesYea.. sure and i'll stop railing lines

supersquidIm actually pretty serious about it. Obviously there is no way for me to prove that to you, but then again that wasnt the point of this thread. I dont need your support or congrats. I just want to hear from people that have stopped and moved on in their lives.

DIRTYBUBBLEI’m on a pretty long T-break right now. Living in Colorado ruined weed for me. I was smoking multiple bowls+dabs a day. I really recommend you filling your time with any activity. Boredom will make you relapse pretty fast. Delete your dealers contact info as well. Also if you smoke at night, be prepared to have really shitty sleep for the next few weeks. I still can’t sleep without melatonin. And don’t try to make your last smoke memorable. You’ll only be romanticizing weed. Just kill your stash like you would normally, get rid of your piece, and don’t look back.

bread_birdReplace it with a habit that doesn't demotivate you.

Like bath salts, or crack cocaine.

JTTremblesOnce I joined the sigma alpha boners fraternity, I realized smoking greens was inhibiting my ability to bro out with my bro's 24/7.So I started moling to still get high but have enough energy to keep a solid hard on when i feel the fierce energy flowing between the bros

supersquidYo what up Ns. I have been a bowl a day smoker for the past year and a half and I think it is finally time I stop. I am a busy college student with lots of things I need to get done, and almost all of my inefficiency in regards to work and time management largely stem from my habit.

Its hard to be honest with myself and understand that I am just not as productive. It has become a hinderance on my goals (weight loss/physical fitness, grades, part time job, money/savings, fraternity life). I am not posting this for your sympathy or for you to pat me on the back in all honesty I do not care what you think. I think most previous stoners reach this point and decide to quit. I probably just realized it a bit earlier than most.

I just want to know if similar NS have come to this conclusion. Was it hard to quit? when did you realize it was a hinderance? What did you do to stop? This isn't limited to just weed. It can be alcohol or whatever else you have decided to stop doing to improve your lifestyle. Im not addicted, I dont think you can be addicted in the same way an alchoholic is or a cigarette smoker is. But stopping cold turkey is gonna take some work. It is so much easier to fall asleep, go to a boring lecture, or relax while high.

Note: This is not a post bashing weed, some people can function great on it. I always told myself I could but after not smoking for a few days I realized how much more productive I could be

TheHamburglarI've been a daily smoker/dabber for ~8 years

Quitting weed is easy, just stop and find something to busy yourself with. Intense exercise (skiing, lifting) almost guarantees an easier time falling asleep.

I stopped drinking alcohol almost entirely after binging in college caused me pretty severe ulcers. Now I "drink socially" lol

Caffeine gave me the worst withdrawal symptoms I've ever experienced. Was a barista for a year, upwards of 10-14 shots of espresso daily. One day decided to go caffeine-free entirely, 100% cold turkey. Woke up the day after that and thought I had the flu. Terrible migraine, aches and pains, threw up painfully several times on an empty stomach. Was sick for about 48 hours despite having some coffee to try and reduce symptoms; didn't help

GolfingElephant

Call this guy.

daannnnieelI smoked all day every day, for roughly 5 years. Mind you I mixed tobacco with it the whole time.

But, when I decided enough was enough I stopped. It was affecting the way I lived which wasn't legit. It wasn't fun but other than my diet and sleep schedule getting kinda fucked for a week or two it was fine.

Tl;dr is that if you want to stop, just don't smoke anymore. It's not rocket science.

theabortionatorSeems not scammy at all.

A guy I used to play with was a "recovering" heroin addict. Phenomenal guitarist. Taught the bassist of breaking benjamni how to play, had solid music contacts. Got me into a lot of shows for free. Sketchy guy though, and total junkie.

He was a good web designer and had a website for a retreat. charged 10k us and didn't have catered meals and dieticians or anything else it was supposed to. And was shooting up the whole fucking time.

Also bonus guy would talk about aliens in their group meetings. He tried to get me to work their, I kindly declined.

J_SteezBruh... you're ignorant as fuck man. I am an active weed smoker and I know so many ways that I am negatively affected by it. For one, it's expensive af, secondly it burns me the fuck out and makes an absolute lazy pos, third it makes me a social recluse, and so many more things. I love smoking dont get me wrong, but to say that it is simply a "medicine" and to act like ganja is the heal all herb and that it is completely positive is dumb as fuck.

JTTremblesI agree with Jared, weed FUCKS me up. It has its times

Hans_GruberDon't be a pussy.
