Do I smoke too much ganga?

[Cigaro]

Need a bit of advice.

Every night for the last three years, since I was 16, I've come home from work and the first thing I do is skin up and go for a bath.

Then I smoke about 3 or 4 more spliffs over the course of an evening. When I'm stoned enough to sleep, I go to bed - usually at about 11 or 12. If I don't smoke, I don't get to sleep until about 4am.

It doesn't affect my day-to-day functioning in any way - I go to work, I get all the bills paid, and I lead a perfectly happy life, but I can't help but feel that I'm almost totally dependent on the stuff.

Would anyone say this is an unnaceptable level of usage? I've tried to stop but I always end up smoking again - I'm sure one day, when the time is right, I will do it.

I only spend about £20 a week on it (I smoke hash) so it's less than a lot of people spend on drink in a night.

Opinions?

Hetz is spot on, i'd regard it as too much. I've smoked 4 spliffs in one night on a couple of occasions but shared with another person. I felt completley and utterly fucked and had to crawl back to my room and it's not something i could bear doing every night and like he says you've built up a tolerance to it.

I live with family friends and smoke A (singular ) spliff each night with their son whose 23 on his nights off or i smoke by myself but only skin up using a normal length Rizla as opposed to a full length reefer.

£20 a week is quite a bit to be fair, i'll usually spend around £40 a month on some bud and that'll last me for the rest of the month and i don't have to worry about picking up again. Something else i just thought though, people who smoke solid get a much bigger high when they smoke skunk apparently. So maybe try having a spliff with some bud instead and see how you feel then.

I'm the same though, i just feel like a fucking insomniac if i don't have a mini spliff and get lean and go to bed otherwise i'll literally end up lyind in bed wide awake completley incapable of nodding off untill the early hours of the next morning.

So to summarise if you can't be fucked to read all that:

1. Yes i personally think you smoke too much, but that's my opinion.
2. Try smoking bud instead and see how you do. Be sure you leave it under a light for a period of time to dry out. Most of the stuff i buy is usually a bit damp so sleeping with it under my bedside light for a couple of nights sorts it out.
3. Take a break for about two weeks and come back to it. Your first spliff will probably screw you over

First we have someone who wanks a few times a day and thinks they might have a wanking problem.

Now we have someone who smokes 3 or 4 spliffs over an evening and thinks it might be an unacceptable level of usage.



BCF is a bunch of lightweight poofs!!

Guessing it's not proper hash so get rid of that shit and get yourself some green. Unless its any of that shitty grit weed but that seems to be mostly gone now.

Start making two skin spliffs, that way you can smoke more whilst still 'only having a spliff'.

Try smoking first thing when you get up each day, nothing like a fat spliff before breakfast.

Come back when you're getting through big quantities, an eighth a week is next to nothing!!! You can put that much in a single (big) spliff. You can then smoke several of those in an evening without problem.

But, considering all the fact I think it might be an unacceptable level, you really do need to put more effort into smoking. Do you wanna come to Amsterdam when we go later in the year?

I like that you believe smoking so much weed is somehow respectable Ste.

Yes I can see it now "I've met this great guy mum, he smokes like 42 spliffs a day, spends most of his spare cash on weed and biscuits and as if that wasn't good enough already his eyes are always blood shot".

[quacker_boy]

[Ste]

Don't see why not. No actual plans have been made yet but it should be sometime around October.

It is respectable Shaun, very much so. So many great things in life are due to being stoned, like the fireworks at yours, that wouldn't have been nearly as interesting if the people playing with fireworks and gaffa tape weren't nicely stoned.

You lot should try and cram this 'Dam trip in before July, so you can experience it before the smoking ban one more time. At least you can still smoke blunts and bongs and pipes and vapes.

And an 8th a week isn't much to worry about IMO. It's not about how much you smoke, it's about how much you let it affect your life. I'm happy not going out as much, spending a lot less money on booze and a lot more on biff, and having a laugh with the housemates. And between 3 of us we generally get through an 8th a day.

[thegubner]

Well four spliffs may not be too much at all.

No one can comment until you post a pic of how much weed goes into each spliff, if you are smoking four a night with the same amount I put in then I would say no its not too much.


If however you put roughly the same amount as my mate puts in then yes far too much.

But my mate probably does 8 or so in the space of a day, from about ten in the morning to about ten at night, it may not sound a lot over 12 hours but he puts a hell of a lot of weed in each joint, and its not crappy home grown either.

He has been doing it for 20 yrs though, but he pays the rent feeds his kids and pays his bills, him and his family are happy and no one is affected so is that too much?

I think its too much when you have so much that you stop functioning.

[killa]

Something’s made you think you’re doing too much.
Have a think why, is it because people ask you to do things and you can’t be fuck**, or that you forget everything?
If you’re happy with how things are rolling along then why stop?

Nowadays I don’t have time to smoke spliffs like I used to, id like to, but I know it will get in the way of the things I’m doing right now. I don’t mean in a really negative way, just that id enjoy it so much id stay indoors a lot more getting kained.

TheBassJunky, you really need to go to Amsterdam with ste, it's an experience.

I reckon more weed than fresh air enters that guys lungs.

[Jaloopa]

Give it a rest for a couple of weeks and after an initial rush of insomnia you should find you sleep better and dream more. Once you feel unstoned again decide if you want to carry on with it. I try to do this every few months to give me a perspective on things.

And 4 a day is nothing reaqlly. I had 6+ last night with some skunk we unearthed after forgetting about it months ago. Each one was packed.

I think like a lot of people have said already its not how much you smoke its how much it fucks with you life and IMO when it starts messing the sleep patterns.

In my first year of uni i think i didnt smoke in total about 6 nights and these i was so pissed i couldn't actually smoke anyways. You always get the "this is messing up your life" but i always smoke from about 9pm when i done all my work (or at least most of it).

I dont think its messes you up when you make sure you dont smoke when you need to do things. I came out with a 1st last year with smoke every night.

In second year the work load is so much more and i had to cut back to 2-3 week as its really starts to make me really tired in the mornings for 9.15 lectures.

Also, i started getting to the point where i would wake 3-4 in the morning and the only way to get to sleep was another J. Which i think makes you realise you smoke too much.

I feel x10 better now i don't smoke everyday. But its a bitch to get out of the habit.

I have smoked for the last... 4/5 years on and off.

Started off with generic london Skunk, dident like the paranoia involved, for th enext couple of years it was Sensi/Mersh (average quality grass). And now last month i went to amsterdam and posted back around 20 or so grams (not alot), but due to the quality its lasted me untill now, I have enough for one or two bongs.

I go through phases of detox, Cut it out every now and then, cold for a couple of months to lower my tolerance, detox and to comfirm the old "i can stop whenever i want to".

I find myself in that situation now, After smoking nothing but the finest amsterdam bud (NYC Diesel, Mexican Haze, AK47 and bubble gum i think) for the last month the prospect of going and picking up some average shwag doesent really appeal to me, plus i have my Uni, second year exams in 6 weeks.

So... Im going to go pick my girlfriend up after i finish this post, finish off this lovely amsterdam bud, and then im gonna knock it on the head for the next 2 months or so, or untill my exams are over.

Then as a reward for all the hard work im gonna book one of those 40 pound easyjet returns to amsterdam and get MASHED.

If you think you are smoking too much you are probably are, detox for a while, if nothing else you will get high-er when you smoke again.

I smoked every night for a significant number of years to help me get to sleep.

Gave up about five months ago as it was a possible cause for my bones not knitting.

For sleeping, I can recommend nytol (the over the counter kind, not the useless herbal kind).
If I feel like I'm not going to sleep, I take one before going to bed - they seem to be quite effective for me, so I actually usually take 1/4-1/2 a pill, as opposed to the recommended 2 pills.

It is cool.... to teenagers.

[Ste]

Didn't say it does fosk. What would those be Killa since no one knows the long term effects of strong skunk? Lots of problems that people try to blame on cannabis were already present before they started smoking, its the easy answer and a way to get off the hook... "it was the new super skunk that I've read about in the papers which made me do it your honour".
