im done smoking for a year...

well schools come and ive decided that im done smoking untill august 1st. i have to many things i cant afford to fuck up this year. so far i stopped smoking 6 days ago its going pretty well but i do get that high craving like no other. do you guys think i will be ripped out of my mind once i smoke again next year? cuz i bet im gonna be really fucked up. peace

 

i dont know man, i just say cut down. Theres no reason to totally stop, I know some people that stopped smoking weed that had smoked everyday and that is when they discovered cocaine

but I wish you luck in your task, it wont be easy

 

ya I would just cut back if I was you, like burn once a week or something. but to each there own, good luck.

 

Have fun with your break while im toking up hahah
But yah I agree with the other posters to not stop entirely but do whatever you want. And yes you will get very high if you wait a year. Though I dont think I could wait that long.

 

I agree with the others dude, just gauge when you can or can't smoke during school and take a couple of hits now and then.

 

quitting is perfectly fine and respectable. know your limits and work with them. some people have too hard a time cutting back without just plain quitting. some people can just cut back, some cant.

and then again, when some people quit or cut back they just substitute. i love pot, passionately, and have smoked for over 5 years now. when i cut back (not by choice but by scarcity) i just ended up finding myself drinking far more than i was comfortable with. i have an addictive personality. i'm sure i COULD quit everything if i found a reason that seemed good enough to me (more than simply my health) but at this point i'm having trouble. as such, i've decided pot is the lesser of two "evils" and will gladly smoke all the grass i can get my hands on, but want to severely limit the booze for a while.

if you think your smoking is getting out of hand, and you think quitting or taking a long break will help you to a significant degree, then by all means go for it, and dont let a bunch of potheads tell you its a bad idea. some people use cannabis wisely and responsibly, some let it upest their lives too much. if you can't smoke and get everything taken care of that you need to, then smoking is no longer a good thing.

do what seems right.







and yes, when you smoke again, you'll get fucking ripped. hell, i'm on a 7 day break because of vacation (too chicken shit to take it on a plane, havent found any here yet) and i expect, when i get back, to get fully and completely gone from a single bowl of middies....hows that for lowering my tolerance......


i'll post and let everyone know how it goes for me

 

Nest brings up very good points, but does it really fuck you up so much when doing it after school or on weekends to wanna cut out entirely?

 

Like everyone else said, just keep it to the weekends or something. No reason to totally stop

 

i havent smoked in like a 1 week or so and i feel fine it just takes some time. i know the cravings you can get when all you wanna do is rip a bowl. it gets easier over time. if i had to quit for a year i know after 3 weeks to a month or so id be able to be perfectly fine without it. try to kep yourself occupied in other passions you have besides pot i know you have other passions.

 

Why not just stick to weekends if you're in school. You'll get really messed up because tollerence won't form

 

Hello! Normally I try to talk people out of quitting smoking weed but since it is in the name of education I salute you and hope you get nothing but As on your tests. Cheers!

 

im in the same boat man. id like to continue to smoke, even if it just meant weekends but im subjected to random drug testing at my public high school...

yes you read correctly...

i havent toked in a week. the first couple of days i had mad cravings but now i just stay after schol and work on my art projects to keep myself occupied. i dont have anymore cravings and i look foward to blasting off again in june.

best of luck from a fellow breaker...

that is really really fucked man.. my guess is the 4.0 kids are exempt from these tests.. just like any good biased government drug test would do

 

you mean the rest of you stoners don't have 4.0's like I do? shit, man, don't bring me down.

 

Yea, If you want to completely stop and you think it will really interfere with what you want to accomplish then by all means stop, but I personally find it to be beneficial. Im cutting back a tiny bit for school but I will probably end up smoking once or twice a day if I don't have anything really important to be studying for.

 

And as a side note, when I started smoking regularly my grades went up and my cumulateive gpa is now a 4.4

So I wouldn't say that it hurts my grades in any way. Actually right now the english class im taking is so laid back It could actually help as far as thinking in new ways goes. It really really helped me break out of habit

 

I am a 4.0 holding collegian who smokes the reefer... holy shit, dude, me too. Actually, the first thing I do when I leave and get back is probably urinate, find some good tunes [in the badass bomb-diggity VW (I want to get Free Hat put on my license plate...], if I'm leaving... or I tune into http://www.highfrequencyradio.com and pay Fidonet or Steve a visit.. he's always having good times), and have a nice bong rip or something.

Badass.

Keep on burning the herb and what have you.

 

For me it's all about the addiction factor. If you're addicted, smoking daily and can't stand it when you don't have any weed, I think that it's time to take a break, because your brain only has so much mental energy, and if that much of it is going to weed, something is being shortchanged. If you can handle smoking regularly but it doesn't become your life, then by all means, smoke some bud. That's my take anyway.

 

when i was in high school i smoked every weekend that worked perfectly now i try to keep it low like uuh every day!! but i am dry sadface!

 

yea the thing is im a varsity athlete starting on the best basketball team in the state. colleges are gonna start looking at me soon so i need good grades and to be able to stay healthy and lift and all that shit.. thanks for the help
