LSD helped me quit pot

i agree with everythings better with weed

 

Yep. Being stoned at that point becomes the new Norm.

I'd just like to say though to anyone trying to quit, or to anyone who dives into it in general, calling the effects of marijuana a "high" has the potential to be very misleading. Because then you may just start to believe that it's needed to achieve some optimum point in daily living. Hence the term, "High".

"Oh this would be better high" / "every thing is better with weed" is the perfect way to trick yourself into thinking that things would be better while "high", rather than just enjoying them fully when you are not. I guess what I'm trying to say here is that you can make the most of any experience. If you start believing being "sober" sucks, or isn't "good" enough (which is only a personal opinion, not a fact in life), then you are really only perpetuating the need for a drug to enhance what can be already considerably awesome on it's own. You don't need to associate being sober with a sense of mediocrity or a "low". You're simply fooling yourself.

I know some people use marijuana to relieve "stress" and "tension" though I found in my case after a while marijuana just starts to relieve what it's constant use is eventually starting to cause. I know that may not apply to everybody but the above paragraph above this one is what I'd really like some of you to consider.

When I first began smoking it was out of pure curiosity, and that was when the high was truly enjoyable and respected as a fleeting experience, not because I thought it was going to make every aspect of life better and it was something worth pursuing constantly. Of course I too was one of those who got caught up into the weed cycle for about 3 years straight, though honestly it started off as "just for the experience", to eventually what gradually built up and led to heavy daily use. My mistake really, opened my eyes as to why staying casual with it is really the best way to go.

Really when you rely on a drug to make things better you really blind yourself to the more simple pleasures in life, this may not be true for everybody but I seen it happen to a majority of stoners I know. Being outside of the box I really am starting to notice how moody some of my smoking buddies are when they aren't stoned, lol.

 

:iagree:

Sweeett I make Sense!

 

Yeah, the best way for me to smoke, is like once or twice a week, and just smoke like 1 or 2 joints. If i smoke more, as some1 said, the trip aint that psychedelic, and i dont like the effect that much when i smoke a lot; like i get so used to weed i just feel normal.

Anyways quitting smoking that much is easier than stop masturbaiting that much xP

 

I've been out for a few months and it doesn't really bother me.I guess I'm lucky that I never really got strung out on it.I never smoked in the day time--for some reason it made me feel useless and guilty when I tried to.But I know that it sure makes my knees and back feel good--much better than the pain shit the MD's give out.Plus my mind gets very active and provides me with some funny and interesting stuff when I partake.One day I'll get some again.

 

I agree his statement..Smoking makes me more active in the mind, not some zombie....Take a look at tommy chong hes become a stand up comedian type dude all he did his entire life was smoke....Besides the possibility of jail time smoking isnt all that bad.....Now excuse me while i light my splifff

 

Like i said, i had to smoke everyday for years to get to the point where getting high isn't as fun to do constantly. For the years i was getting high every day all day, i have to say it was as good as heaven. So for me when i started getting high, i realized that it was a fact that being high makes life better no matter how much you do it. Just like anything fun gets repetitive when you do it hardcore. So yeah now that i have a clear mind and better memory, i have to say my life is just as awesome as it was as a stoner, if not quite as good.

 

Heroin has helped me quite vicodin.

 

Then now you just need a good meditation lsd trip to quit heroin. Hey there are actually some treatments with psychedelics to quit methadone and shit like that, there was a documentary in national geographic about it (or bbc).

Some dude addicted to methadone did this ritual with some african psychedelic, and i think it actually worked, didnt see the documentary on Natgeo, but saw the Photodocumentary some where around facebook .


I hope i didnt get your post wrong.

 

I remember the first time I tripped (shrooms) I thought, why do I smoke so much pot, it sucks.

But, I go off and on. When I have it, I really can't stop smoking at least on a daily basis and usually all day. Right now, I don't have any, and am fine without it. (My wife always complains that I'm irritable for a few days after quitting/running out.)

Lately, I purposely buy small quantities so I don't have it in the house. I don't miss it much when it's not here, but trying to force myself to avoid it when it is hasn't worked well for me.

Now, I rarely go out of my way to buy it, but friends usually come by and offer it, especially when they find/grow something especially good. So I go on and off the wagon.

The thing I hate the most about a binge is that I tend to gain about 5-10 lbs and spend a lot of time arranging my day so that I can indulge. It's really not good for me.

Ironically, I do like it while tripping (I know some thing the opposite), so I like to have some around for that. It's hard to have some around and plan it right so that I'm not in the middle of a binge while tripping. Ideally, I just get some right when I'm planning to trip.

I feel like a looser sometimes that I can't stop when I have it, but I think it's because for almost 20 years I smoked daily and really never took a break until recently in the last 6-7 years. I don't want to accept my bad behaviour, but it is what happens, so it's not worth it to me to try to keep it around and not smoke it.

A friend is coming to visit soon for a few days, and I know she will have some, and may want me to go in on an oz or something. I have to resist somehow because I'm going to a festival soon and want to feel healthy and alert. I would like to have some there, so at the end of the night I can smoke a couple joints and relax and sleep. (I kind of feel bad not getting any because then I just smoke my friends and don't contribute.)

So, for me it's really a lot of planning and stuff involved, and really trying to keep it out of the house.

I was never a big drinker, but lately I have probably substituted some. I not, similarly, often buy pints of gin even thought they are so must more expensive that way. If I don't I tend to have a couple martinis a night until it's gone, regardless of the size....

I'm a substance abuser I guess, so I have to keep myself in check and try to keep myself away from the stuff that makes me feel unhealthy.

 

usually after real intense trips i'll not even feel the need to smoke pot anymore for a little while. but after this last one that 'little while' never really went away. it's like a permanant afterglow and connection to the divine. although sometimes i don't live up to my full potential which disapoints me and makes it go away. but once i recenter myself things return back to normal. we are all human after all.

see ram dass on addiction and attachment.

i still smoke, but not nearly as much. it's been a few days and i really don't even care that much for it anymore. it's nice to get high, but life without dependancy is much nicer.

Gin is my first choice when I want some poison.

 

What about those who smoke to relieve pain on a daily basis? I don't mean mental anguish or anything like that. Prescription meds have more problems than they're worth, meditation and exercise only help so much, and even after years of smoking every day, every time is special and effective. Oh, and pot helped me quit cigs.

 

cig smokers are drug addicts to the max. I mean, they have to smoke during work, several times a day. I'd like to see someone quit cold turkey after 30+ years of daily smoking and not go into physical withdrawals.

that's what's fuckd about our gov and society. They vilify pot users but we aren't as hooked to a drug like cig smokers are. fugged up is what that is.

 

yeah i agree, but you could say their is a fair amount of "pot addicts", who smoke all day every day. certainly not near the number that smoke cigs.

i love me a bogey though

 

Agreed but pot's not a physical addition as much as psychological.

they put too much chemicals in cig as well as more nicotine.

Just grow your own tobacco.

 

i used to smoke bogeys like it was my job lmao...Iam trying to stop though..As for marijuan, the good times are rolling on lol

 

part of being buddha is being an asshole, an idiot, all those things. it is being all things. next time you snap at your friend over something stupid, bless yourself.

 

When was buddah a asshole? lmao
