Weed is no longer for me

Well after a 4 month break I have decided that weed is just no longer for me. It use to be great, I would smoke a bag with friends and just get really fucking stoned. But eventually the weed started hitting me differently, everything became very akward and there were things in my enviroment that I fiercly began hating. It's very hard to explain, but highs were very sad and judgmental. I started buying lots and doing it alone and frequent. Eventually I said fuck it and stopped. I don't know, I talk to other people about this and no one else seems to have had such a thing happen.

Discuss/thoughts.

 

You just need to smoke with new exciting people. Well atleast that worked for me.

Every weekend I go to my friends house and then our whole group of friends get really stoned and drunk. Then we sit around arguing and fighting and playing guitar hero until my one frien Jonathon pisses off my other friend john so much that they attack each other and throw stuff across the room. Like Saturday for example, Jonathon was grinding the weed in the grinder, now as most of you know a bit of thc comes off the wee and falls into the grinder, my friend (john who owns the grinder) was saving his thc but my Jonthon tapped and scraped out all of the thc, they fought and fought and hit each other with chairs and the rest of us just died laughing and we werent even high yet.

But couple weeks ago I went and hung around with my girlfriend and her friends, there normal people. They smoke pot and all relax and have fun. I find whenever I hang out with them for one weekend and then go back to my usual friends everything is better and people seem calmer and such.

ps. Dont quit

 

Lol I buy a lot and smoke it alone for the most part. I usually smoke before I do things though, so it doesn't seem like I'm really alone. I just like to be high around a bunch of people and then become social. On the weekends though, I have been smoking up a shitload of people.

 

Well Im back now and Im high.

Your missing out.

.....this place feels sort of like a big bar with people that you have to introduce yourself to but if you spell wrong thats like saying a word wrong and theyll think your dumb.

 

It hits people differently and could very well be a bad idea for you.

 

marijuana does intesify emotions i have noticed.. if you are depressed and get high it sometimes will make you even more depressed... maybe you were just having a rough bump in life and well marijuana wasnt making it any better... people always think marijuana will constantly make you happy no worries... but marijuana or mary jane is a woman and can be a bitch at times

 

indeed she can. Give it some time and smoke up again with a really close friend and hopefully you will start to love it again.

 

everytime that i smoke i always get happy and excited for some reason. this is really noticable when i smoke by myself. there are some circumstances with friends where you get paranoid about something thats going on at that time. once everything is cool again i just go back to normal. i dunno its wierd how some people once they freak out they continue to freak out and blame it all on the marijuana. you just have to be smarter then the marijuana become one with reality dont let marijuana cloud dumb emotions.

 

been there done that. I went on a four month break because it got boring, but then after four months smoked some white rhino and it was still boring and I realized why I stoped in the first place. I enjoyed sobriety soo much more. I know what you mean about having 'awkward' highs, it seemd to muddle my mind when I had better thinga to do. So 2 more months went by and I brought myself a big bag of weed. I admit its not as fun as it used to be but used on ocassion it can still be interesting.

 

i understand where your comming from but i still love smoking. i can usually do anything that i can do when im sober but being high just makes it more enjoyable. marijuana is such an amazing drug and its effects are so different from person to person and i think thats why its so feared. people get so paranoid about something so dumb and blame it all on marijuana. let me see if i can make a good example. this is kinda broad but im going to use water. everyone drinks water and it effects everyone the same. we all need it to survive so we all drink it even if we would rather have something else. now with weed we dont really need it to survive and some people reailize this and can stop anytime. others think they need it or say they can stop anytime but they wont. i dunno im kinda drawing a blank here but maybe someone will understand this. im just trying to think of something that effects everyone exactly the same and all i could think of was water :\ marijuana seems so simple in concept but the drug THC doesnt work the same in everyone. sorry if i sound dumb i havnt smoked in a couple days so im not thinking as creatively.

 

i completely understand dude. ive been completely sober for over 7 months and i have been so much happier than i ever was gettin high all the time

 

Sounds like you reached a Mature level of thinking..
Got tired of smoknig the cronic and lost interest in other things..

While some may say dude wtf you need to smoke all the time... Find new freinds to get high with..
What you need to do is understand who you really truely are with out weed... I would say it no different than any other hobby...

I call it a hobby cause it can get just as boring, And I smoke POT everyday..
but not all day.. I got other shit to do... Seems like your missing out on other shit...
WEED will always be there.. Go out and play with a dog if you have one cause they only live for 15 18ys or so..Think of all the joy you can have by just playing with a dog throwing him a ball and you dont need to be baked to do it...and all the real true memories youll have of doing something offical with out WEED......

 

Well if you don't enjoy it then don't do it. Simple. It's always there if you wish to indulge again for some nostalgia. Personally, i find sobriety quite boring sometimes knowing how life can be lived (high). Perhaps you were abusing it too much to the point where your tolerance was so high you were not experiancing the true effects.

 

The exact same thing happened to me man. I used to think weed was the greatest. I had a great time smoking with friends and was super social and outgoing. I used to be so clear headed and calm and felt great.

Then after smoking every day for like 2 years a lot of things changed. My old friend group fell apart and a lot of drama started happening. Also this is when weed first started affecting me differently. Like it would zone me out and me my mind really clouded and I would just feel stupid and stoned instead of clear minded and happy feeling like I used to. like now I would get stoned instead of high.

Also I started noticing just like you said that I would be awkward and less social when I smoked. and yes just like you I started to find that I enjoyed smoking more when I was alone. So yeah I started smoking by myself more and doing it a lot.

I found that if I was around people I no longer enjoyed kicking it. I like would want to play cards, or play sports, or video games, like you know just having something to focus on otherwise I would just feel like my stoned mind would vegetate because I was not social.

Eventually after smoking it so long for another year or so everyday I started getting that weird feeling I got when stoned around people even when i was sober. It used to only happen when I was stoned and I would socialize and be clear headed and fine when sober. Now when sober I was all stoned too. It almost seemed like since I smoked to much my brain turned almost perma stoned somewhat.

So at this point I would smoke at random. I would go like 10 days without weed light up then go 17 days light up go 4 days light up go 7 days light up go 28 days light up then 20 then even once went 40.

Then eventually I was like you know what I just need to quit this crap. It is not the same as it used to be and it is affecting me negatively. So I quit for 5 months without taking a single hit.

Then I got a headache one night and could not sleep and just did not feel good. and I remembered at 5 months ago when I quit that I had weed in my room and I just put in my closet and said I will keep it around just in case I need it for medical use.

So like I badly was ready to smoke this weed and take away my headache. I remember every hit was so great as I felt the high slowly lift the pain away and put me into a wonderful relaxing euphoria. Also after that long tolerance break I got super high. I felt like I was floating in my chair in my room haha. I remember laying down to go to sleep and it felt so good and I was super happy and thinking all these positive thoughts. and it got me HIGH not stoned !!!!!!!! it gave me the good effect this time.

I still decided not to continue smoking as I consider something of my past. but I probaly will still do it every once in while at the right moments. I will allow it to keep it's full magical ability. I have found now that I must respect the plant. I can't just go and smoke at some house with people and get messed up and feel good. weed for me is not like other drugs. I cannot just smoke and feel good. I have a new understanding of how it works now. I have to smoke under the right circumstances. I don't know it is hard to explain. but when I first started I never had to do this.

so yeah weed can still be super enjoyable still for me I just got to smoke at the right times.

 

Yeah i feel the same way. its just not the same anymore. and ive reached a point where i feel im too old to just get high and sit around even though im only 18. i just have such big expectations for my life and weed really gets in the way

 

I also find that toking has changed for me.

I still love it on occasion, but sometimes it's a bad idea, so I have to really watch it.
Especially smoking large amounts at once (which my main smoking friend/supplier loves to do), can leave me in a funk for the next day or two.

I have really taken a liking to tripping though (and find no problem to space it out quite a bit, while weed can be a little habit forming.)

 

same. i actually would prefer a night of some delsym over smoking weed all night simply because tripping doesnt throw me out of my habits or make me want to do more, as long as you are strong minded that is

 

I've felt the same way too. I like getting high and it's a good thing to pass time with when I'm alone, but I can just get sketched out and feel like I'm saying stupid things when I'm around people. Yes, awkward.

 

Getting high here all the time! everybody his thing, as a graphic webdesigner it helps me some times also, but it is mostly slowing me down

 

"johny weed" lasted a real long time.

To continue on the old ass topic:

It hits everyone differently, but it can, in almost everyone, be very heavily channeled, and if you let it run away with you, you will very likely fall into boring, depressing, non-functional, considerably less than creative, sleepy, wasteful habits. You've got to moderate yourself, choose your toking times carefully, etc.

Not to say you can't be high all day and do fine. but if you're high all day because you're smoking all day, instead of smoking and taking care of shit, you just get huge tolerance, a hazy half real dream world, and NOTHING done. And then you're afraid of leaving your dream world, and keep smoking. But when you take a break from that kind of habit it does make life even more awesome than before you fell into gluttony.

With all that in mind, I'm fucking sick and tired of peoples "I just don't like pot, whats wrong" posts. Well, either you don't like it anymore, or you're using it wrong, or b because of a. Most likely that last option. It can fuck up your life if you let it, just like eating too much chocolate cake, or it can greatly enhance it, just like eating the right amount of chocolate cake. Or you can binge and then sleep 16 hours, just like chocolate cake. Or you can binge for days or weeks or years and as a consequence, have a permanent dislike for it, again, like chocolate cake.
