Today...

I'm giving up smoking ganja forever.

It doesn't do anything for me any more, it's expensive, and it makes me lazy.

Makes me wonder what the point is.

[kiers]

yeh, its nothin special. i've not had a smoke fer a few months now, not particularly missing it. comes in handy for camping though, you tend not to worry about the fact your bored out of your face

I still enjoy a few spliffs with friends every now and again. Better than getting monged every night like I used to, and a hell of a lot cheaper that way

My mates still smoke it and the smell makes me ill.

I remember waking up feeling like crap and started smoking joints and getting them cloudy heavy headaches and not doing nothing for the rest of the day. I was unempoyed when i hit it hard 3 years ago. Before that i was having sneaking joints while working in customer service and trying not to laugh at people. The laughing soon wore off.

I got depression from it and anxiety, i smoked more and more to get rid and it made it worse. I felt far to calm at times it was unnatural. I couldnt do a dam thing. Life was shite. I was in hospital with Bronchitus and was very ill i couldnt breath, I was smoking crap resin with plastic bits going through it (quite common)

Then i kicked it! my anxiety wasnt good but after a while it calmed down and i returned to normal and so did my lungs i no longer got chest infections but was left with asthma.

I got motivated after that and felt more active and my head was more clear than ever., I look at people smoking joints now all day and they cant know how good i feel not to be smoking that shite anymore.

So i recon if you have the will power to say no to your mates you can do it. Easier than giving up smoking fags to.

My old mate from school and karate has just been sectioned.

He was a heavy weed smoker and started believing he was god.

One day in town he was so sure he was God, he grabbed hold of one of his dreadlocks and pulled it straight out. Was horrible.

It's so sad.

I only really started smoking it after I turned 40, so I'm enjoying smokin it cos I never did when I was a kid, and hence haven't wasted my life away (well, not on weedsmoking, anyway, LOL).

So hence I am able to enjoy being trashed, cos I already have the work ethic, and know when to work and when to smoke.

It doesn't cost me a fortune, cos I don't actually cane it so much that I'm getting much more than a score a fortnight, if that.

Plus, I was always lazy anyway

For me, its a much better way of socialising than having a drink: no hangovers and yet I still have an enjoyably daft time.

I heart weed.

Stopped cold turkey 4 weeks ago after 7 years of smoking, had a few when real drunk, but no more then 5 in the last 4 weeks.

Good luck dude. Hope you stay off the evil little things!

If it doesn't gree with you then yeah try and cut down, then stop.

You will notice the fresh mindedness after about 2 months if you've been a regular user. I can honestly say it does affect you, but you dont know how much until you quit.
I've looked back at the last three months and its stunned me how much i've got done!

Good luck

The fact is that it really isn't good for me mentally. When I don't smoke I feel less tired, I get more done, I am more able to converse intelligently, and it costs less (I'm trying to save up for a few things - a new computer and a full bike license to name a couple!)

I've still got about a joint's worth - I think I'll have that tonight to get me to sleep, then that's it.

I've smoked it since I was 13 and I'm now 19, it's time to stop - I'm an adult, I have adult responsibilities.

I know people in their 40's and 50's who are regular smokers and still manage to hold down a decent life but they own a house (fully paid up), have a pension and make a bit from renting out their other properties, so they don't have much to worry about apart from sorting out the garden and doing building work on their house in France - my idea of bliss!

[hellkat]

Well, good for you if you decide to do it.

I'm in my forties, and I have none of that. But I did have. I put my nose to the grindstone like a good little girl, wife, daughter, mother, and done it all when I was younger. Then I blew it all, LOL. Kind of wish I hadn't, but its something you get over. Life's too short. But you have to knuckle down and make your mark at some point, else you'd waste your whole life.

Now, although I'm skint and homeless, I can sit and doss about a bit, do what I like, given up chasing corporate bucks (except for these papers I'm hopefully getting from Italy and New York), I still know how to work hard, but am enjoying the fruits of me labour, and all that guff.

I applaud you and encourage you to knuckle down and seek what you can for your life.

Sorry, just to annoy you Junkie ... can anyone tell I just sparked up as I started to read his thread?

The verbosity of stonerism. Meh.

Weed is definately best enjoyed occasionally at the right time and place.

Having a smoke outside on a sunny day with your mates after two weeks off the stuff is incomparable to sitting monged in front of the TV on a Monday night.

I go through cycles of smoking just at weekends, then smoking more reguarly until I get sick of the lethargy /woolly headed feeling and stop completely for a month or so to clear my head.

It's true you don't realise how much it effects you day to day until you stop for a few weeks. I've found the clarity of thought almost a novelty.

Although I never smoked heavy amounts, a little each day still cripples your mind quite badly. Maybe because unlike alcahol the side effects are very subtle and not enough of a punishment to put you off doing it regularly.

The strange thing I've found is how easy it is to switch off for me when I stop, I'll miss it for a day or two if I'm bored sitting watching TV, I might have a bad nights sleep but after that it sits in the cupboard and I don't even think about it.

good luck to you .

i'm seriously thinking about knocking the booze on the head after probably pissing about 30grand and most of my adult life up the wall .

i cant do it in moderation either so i'll probably go cold turkey and quit for as long as possible.

gave up for 2 months last year so i could give up the cigarettes but fell off the wagon again.

i think it's time for a change.
