Being Sober Vs. Being Stoned

Hey,
So i was thinking, as a smoker, that people should be able to moderate and be sober a lot as well as being high, because a lot of pot heads smoke all day everyday and sometimes it can change an individual. what do you guys think??

i used to smoked several times a day for six monthes and i quit cold turkey and after like 3-4 weeks i felt ALIVE again, i think its something everyone should experience. people should take breaks after being stoned for a lonnggg time just to catch up with reality and see how they like it again, u kno? i think they would b suprised how nice it feels to be sober sometimes. im not trying to preach, im just saying

cheeers:cheers2:

 

also moderating keeps the magic in weed, keeps ur tolerance low, and then when u do smoke u get more blazed than ever... so in my opinion its a win win situation. what do u guys think?

 

I take breaks from smoking all the time, I go through phases from where I smoke everyday to not smoking for a few months. It's nice, keeps my head clearer. Now I only really have a few spliffs on weekends because I want to be able to focus on work and studying for now, and a fuzzy head really doesn't help.

It's awesome when you've been smoking a lot for a while, then stop for a few weeks and you can practically feel this cloud lifting and then suddenly all your thoughts seem a lot clearer and you can actually remember things again, hahah.

 

I agree after not smoking for a long ass time the high is amazing

 

i only smoke like 1-5 hits a day so its not a big deal anymore. I'm sober for 20+ hours a day.

I used to make weed my life and smoke all day even throughout school. then i got arrested and was forced to take a 14 month break and i learned a lot in that time.

now i keep it very moderate.

 

I don't know, if it doesn't burn you out I think staying stoned all day is perfectly fine and possible, it's just when you stay stoned all day for months and months on end you start to become a burn out. But I know whenever I buy weed, be it a gram, 1/8, whatever, I just keep smoking till it's gone, might as well enjoy it. But I don't go out and buy weed again the second it's gone

 

u moderate though u smoke daily??? yeah i guess ur moderating more than u used too, but my point was when ur used to smoking daily then u quit for like 2-3 weeks completely than it really feels GOOD then when u smoke it also REALLY feels good.

cheers

 

I think it's easier to just not smoke every day, or not smoke massive amounts and not have a tolerance at a level where quitting for 2-3 weeks actually seems like a good idea to be able to be that stoned again

 

even if u smoke small amounts every other day for example, for... 1-2 monthes... once u quit completely for 2-3 weeks ur still going to feel better, and its still going to make ur tolerance low enough so that when u smoke again ur goin to get a lot more high, and thanks to the break ur going to be a little more down to earth, dont u think?

 

I don't know, I follow the school of thought that if you're drug use in any amounts when using is effects your attitude or perception enough that stopping puts you more down to earth, more focused, whatever it may be that it might be a problem.

 

personally i don't like the high i get when i smoke with no tolerance. i prefer to have some amount of tolerance.

 

i used to think being high all the time would be better but after a couple months of not it feels nice while smoking every once in a while with some friends, not to mention your not spending so much money all the time.

 

to OP: i agree 100% with what you just said. it feels really great. i moderate my smoking also..well more than i used to. then i look at my stoner friends when their smoking and high all day and everyday. and i' like damn..dude wake up, then he's all anti-social and shit...dont want to do anything on a saturday lol


to madcapsyd: who is that in your sig? is that some kind of play or something?

oh yea weed+alcohol FTW lol

 

how will i sleep if i dont smoke pot for 2-3 weeks?

right now im havin to drink because i am a poor sod

i dont wanna fuckin drink

but it beats lying in bed awake for hours

 

Being stoned > being sober

what else is there to say, as long as you know the difference between the two and don't always feel the need to be high and view sobriety as sucky, sure it's more boring and stressful but it's good to have a break every once in a while.

 

Moderation is essential on longterm. Not particularly because the tolerance in my experience, because I still can get very stoned of one joint. Only times when it really doesn't strike me it is more about sleeping too much, or moving too less throughout a day or several days. But yeah, that's just my toleration, I'm sure it's different on lots of other people.
Anyway, moderation and being sober is more to keep in touch with reality and everything else, keep an healthy view so to speak. Some people can pull it of by moderate their smoking by every day a little and other moderate by smoking more a day and have a week or a few days off. Both can work.

 

Yeah I was stoned for about a year and a half then got clean cold turkey, I felt alive but when I didn't get the job I wanted I just started toking again.

 

brothasssss, if ur smoking so much to a apoint where ur anti-social or cant sleep without it, its almost like ur dependent on it. the whole point about weed is having fun with it! i hope u decide to keep it fun. when i smoked all day everyday for 6 monthes.. i didnt do it for fun, i did becuase if i DIDNT do it i DIDNT feel normal.... that sucks!

anyways whatever u guys decide to do with ur smokin habits i hope u make the best of it and have fun with it, cuz if ur not havin fun than its not even worth it.

stoner bill, when i first quit i wasnt able to sleep good at all for about 2 weeks, and it sucked! (u can try taking a light dose of sleepin pills).... but the good news is once u can easily fall asleep without weed and u can do everything without it than its fun again, what im tryin to say is YOU gotta b in control all the time (im not sayin ur not, and u probably know thissss) but anyways,
CHEERS.

 

I read this thread then went out and smoked three joints in a row... just to make up for all the breaks people are taken

 

Good reason.
