I wish I never started smoking weed.

I feel like lately weed's dragging down my whole life. It's not directly from smoking weed but more of a by-product. The first thing is my mom is most likely drug testing me in a month. I'd like to stop smoking just in case she does test me but in all honesty I'm not gonna be able to. Weed isn't addicting, it's just to stop smoking I'd have to change up my lifestyle radically and I don't want to. Yet if my mom finds out I've been smoking again she's gonna flip, so I'm pretty conflicted. Secondly weed just doesn't completely satisfy me anymore. I have the urge to move onto other drugs now but I also don't want to. Besides it's hard to get much else besides weed and ecstacy around here, but that makes it even worse cause I want other drugs so bad. Maybe I should quit smoking for a little while, might improve things.

 

i wish i never stopped smoking weed

 

dont worry. one day you will grow up and realize what real problems are.

no really though, ive been where you are. just find a hobby or something to replace it. or remove yourself from people and sitiuations in which you feel you need to be high to be around.

 

i will not grow up!!

 

Fuck it man. If it bothers you that much than it's not worth it.

 

Why does this myth that weed is not addictive so persist? You're not addicted, but to quit would change your life in a way you apparently couldn't handle. . . why? Because your lifestyle right now is always being high? That is psychological addiction, my friend. Just be glad you don't get physical withdrawal symptoms yet - where you're at its just a matter of having a little will power and resolve and perhaps enduring a few days of boredom until you figure out what to do with yourself and get used to not being high again.

By the way, if you let this go on for years and get to the point where I was recently, where you're smoking multiple times a day and have been for a long time, then quitting can be pretty hellish. No, its not much compared to, say, heroin withdrawal but its plenty bad since sleep becomes nearly impossible and it also becomes impossible to get any pleasure out of anything and there's this constant unbearable nagging feeling in your nerves. The worst of this lasts like two weeks and trails off for another few weeks. And if you're like me, you'll get constipation and digestive problems that don't really go away even when the withdrawal has mostly passed. If you don't believe me google "marijuana withdrawal forum" and see how many people have experienced this themselves.

Having said all that, I don't think weed is a horrible drug or anything. I think it can be a great thing but you HAVE to have some self-restraint or it will do you more harm than good. I think a good rule would be to separate your pot smoking days by at least two sober days.

 

Heh start doing Oxys...j/k

 

If you wish you never started you were never meant to smoke the plant in the first place...

 

Here's what I've found out. I enjoy toking so much more if I do it in moderation. Life's no good if you're always high because you lose appretiation for it. As much as I love the summer I'm quite glad there's a winter because it shows me how much I appretiate the summer. Everything in life needs to have a balance. Yin and Yang. Ease up a bit man, learn to appretiate sobriety because honestly being sober and observing the world from a straight minded perspective is amazing.

 

pick up a guitar or something...jeez

 

:sifone: Agreed.

 

I'm not weak just because weed doesn't get me high anymore. If weed still got me high I'd have no need to do other drugs. I'm quitting anyway.

 

might as well quit... Considering your situation, maybe wee'd not for you .

one thing thoguh, don't be stupid. Stay away from the real drugs.

 

i wish i'd never started smoking weed either. that "gateway" thing they say was true with me at least. not just with trying harder drugs, but with hanging out with a different breed of people. getting involved with a different breed of influences. i think i might be a college grad right now if it wasn't for that first toke.

 

I don't get weed...don't need it at all. It's less fun to me than normal me.

 

In my experience weed is not for everyone.

That said, it is by far my drug of choice.

Smoke weed everday, etc etc.

 

Trust me when i say a college degree means absolutely jack sh*t....i just graduated from KU a month or two ago....and all it did was waste my parents cash (god bless them for paying for my education...) but your gonna need more than a college degree to get a good job...if i could have done it again, i would never have gone to a normal college...i would have gone to a art or business school..

ahem...sry to trail off there, but i agree you should just quit...its never fun getting high then worrying about a piss test...that makes me paranoid...but what happened with me was, i got caught by mom so many times she eventually didnt care if i smoked...now i can smoke freely

 

been there done that. your just feelin like shit now, itll pass. if it doesnt, quit for a month or so. id say quit about 3 months and weed will completely satisfy you again after that, or you may not want to smoke again after you do it for a month, who knows

 

I agree 100%.

 

Maybe take a break for awhile.. smoke less frequently. You may enjoy it and life more if you balance everything out a little better

 

What's with people saying that weed isn't a real drug?

BTW, OP needs to read a book.
