So my weed days are done. Who can relate.

[Mdrock98]

I've been smoking on and off for sometime... roughly 10 years.. I recently been smoking for the past year, before that, I had quit for 7years before toking up for the first time. I just try to normalize smoking because of it becoming legal, medically, and recreational, but to be honest, it seems like this "medical/recreationally" bullshit is a ploy to separate the wolves from the sheep, the weak from the strong. This past year that I returned to smoking, was nothing but cloudiness, laziness, ups and downs emotionally, and just annoying. Thought I would get more creative with music making, all it left me was clouded and tired. Smoked before and after the gym... before.. i thought it would help me focus, it made feel drained and a 1hr workout felt like a year, and thought I was working hard, when in reality, all I did was 3 sets of 8... smh. And for those people say munchies aren't real and can be controlled..lmfao.. if your trying to.bulk,sure, but it had me gorging on cookies and cakes just to shit all day the next day. Not to mention it wrecks testosterone production and semen quality.


Im 35. My weed days are done good... maybe when I'm old..
Who knows...

Thoughts?

If I think back to college, I mostly recall a haze of pot smoke. I kept it up after I graduated for a while but after getting into a new relationship with someone that wasn't as interested in it as me, I did it less and then not really at all.

Nowadays, I do it here and there but pretty infrequently... Honestly, I have no idea how I managed to function being high basically 24/7 in college. The only use I have for it now is to help with sleep or just relaxing late at night when I'm going to be getting ready to fall asleep soon. Beyond that, I feel a lot better just being clear headed with more energy during the day... I think moderation is key though so, if I were to take it up again it would still be just at night around bedtime. More often than that is just too much for me personally.

I smoked weed as a young man as a way to fight depression and now only smoke occasionally. It has helped me to an extent and people react differently to weed even in moderation. Can't smoke now due to strict rules at the workplace.

Interesting. I never touched the stuff, but that is mostly because a close friend of mine was a heavy marijuana smoker, who quit cold turkey one day, and he told me sort of exactly what you wrote, that a couple of months after he stopped he felt alive and motivated and clear for the first time in years. He really felt like marijuana just killed his drive to succeed or do much. He mainly replaced that habit with the gym and got large pretty fast.

I just never felt the need to touch something that would cloud up my drive to succeed.

Interesting post. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Good for you
Marijuana may not be BAD for you, in the same sense as cocaine/heroin etc.
But it doesnt exactly allow.for motivation and DRIVE

I think you'll be better off for the change brother
Good on you!

I'll smoke on occasion, but I RARELY get high
Maybe a tiny little piece of hash on the end of a cigarette, once kn a blue moon.

IMHO any mind altering habit/addiction is destructive for our lives.

Agreed
I'll smoke a tiny bit of hash before bed .. maybe once every few weeks or so.
If I've had a stressful day and my brain wont stop going over logistics and projects, then it helps put me down for the night.

For enjoyment?
Perhaps once every year or two at a cottage, sitting on a dock at the edge of a lake.

Watch, this whole medically and recreationally epidemic is going to back fire on the so called patients... I basically called a hotline, coughed up 250 bucs.. and got my medical card... anyone in their moms name can get a card... yeahh..."patients" ... 60 for and 8th.. damn..

Welp.. at least the government is going to prize off of this..

Go figure.

Those two were my inspiration lol jk. But seriously I was careful not to overdo it...smoked just enough to chase the dark demons away from my tortured young mind was it for me.

A $100 bag lasted me well over a month back then.

People differ. I vape weed ( buds not extracts) and don’t drink.

I wouldn’t change a thing for myself.

 

[Freakmidd]

I smoked weed from my teen years up till around the time I turned 48(I'll be 51 soon).. pretty heavily in the later yrs.

I finally quit due to an issue I started having..

I was (frequently) getting violently ill with uncontrollable vomiting, I would become seriously dehydrated, and It wouldn't stop without a visit to the hospital, where they would administer heavy meds to calm my stomach and bags of rehydration.

After losing a ton of weight and seeing two different gastroenterologists.. for every procedure they could think of.. with no diagnosis, I eventually ran into a young doctor(a fellow) in an emergency room who pointed out what he believed to be the issue..

Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome..

Of course having never heard of this I had a hard time believing him, I had been smoking for years with no past issue, not to mention I had been seen by two G.I. docs (including one who was at the top of his field) with no diagnosis.

Eventually after a ruined vacation (due to said issue) and a whole lot of reading on the issue, I decided to quit.. to see if it was indeed my problem.

Sure enough I haven't been sick since!

2 1/2yrs later I feel better than ever, my appetite has been way better, cut down on sugar (no munchies) and my size/weight is also better than ever.

Needless to say.. life for me, is much better without weed!

I was in the Rockies in Colorado last week sitting in a hot tub at night looking up at the stars while it flurried... That was the first time I smoked just for the enjoyment of it in a long time, and the setting called for it.

Now imagine sitting in that same tub during a snowstorm! Bet even that be a mindbender lol.

There was topless girls with me... I wouldn't have left that hot tub no matter the snow fall unless they invited me to bed.

Now that's even better.

I smoked a lot of pakalolo back in the late 70s...you could buy an oz. of good hawaiian for $40...I started getting bad headaches so I quit...I remember smoking some Mexican crap that been sprayed with a repellant called paraquat...I got very sick...that was the end...back in those days a lot of us would buy a 1/4 pound of colombian gold for $110 then selling 3 ounces for $40 a lid (3-4 finger sandwich bag)...the last ounce was yours free...

 

[jJjburton]

Cant do it anymore, instant paranioa.

and i used to do it all day long. Was “fine” then, i thought i would be doing it forever.

i just do not enjoy it at all. The second it hits me i want it to end.

but pot is the only thing that does that to me....odd.

i think i ruined it for myself mixing it with stuff. Not sure.

 

[MadBret]

God damn...I smoke like a broke stove. I got myself into the habit of rolling up backwood cigars. Probably smoke 3 on a slow day and 6 or 7 when I'm being ridiculous.

Lucky for me, the weed is cheap where I live. I remember paying 60 bucks for an eighth as a teenager but nowadays, I can usually grab an ounce for 80 from a friend. Good for you though @Mdrock98 I've had buddies that have called it quits. I don't see myself quitting, though it wouldn't be a bad idea to cut out the cigar portion of my habit.

When I got my medical card, I thought I was a lifer. Like you, I can't do it anymore. Racing thoughts, lethargy, munchies and God the money. Christ.

God Bless yall

That's good prices. I just don't like the mental trap that happens.. just on repeat...

My doc offered to help me get the script for it but I straight told him that when I want it, I can get it for a huge fraction of the cost of medical marijuana...and it's often much better quality.

But I can't do it like I used to. Messes with my head as well nowadays. Every once in a great while in the right setting or to help with sleep.

In high school and college I could do it all day everyday. But when I discovered alcohol I dove in head first like a total idiot. WAY too much for WAY too long. I now am suffering the consequences and it's a nightmare. Taken beyond moderation liquor truly is poison, in my experience.

So those who can handle the herb, I say smoke on. Or eat it, vape, dab whatever you all do.
