#4 Posted: 4/29/2012 1:59:34 AM Obviously smoking weed affects you negatively.
Don't feel bad about that. That's the case with most people. Its the habitual use over time that wears on most and becomes a BIG TIME negative.
You have now learned and realized this very important fact of life with this comment: I haven't smoked since Monday and it's honestly crazy how much more motivated and clear headed I feel.

Yeah, it's just not fun anymore really

I know I've gotten bad when I can hit a blunt and not even get stoned off of it.(Ripping the bong everyday will do that to you) I haven't smoked since Monday and it's honestly crazy how much more motivated and clear headed I feel. College is coming to a close and I think quitting smoking should come to a close as well. With majority of my boys being potheads, how do I resist ?
u must b a sorority dude....
sorry... |

1. Dont quit, just take a break and stick with it... I have taken breaks for years with knowing exactly when I would start up again... easier to take a break then giving it up forever...
2. Commit to either smoking or not smoking... if you are on a break you are not smoking regardless of the situation... who's around, how good the weed is, how stressed you are... you will never make if you are bargaining/justifying with yourself...
3. The first 3 days are the toughest in terms of sleep and other side effects... after that it gets easier...
4. Studies have shown that people are impaired in their ability to recognize how THC is actually effecting them...
so this is usually the cycle...
A. while you are using, you feel guilt, know its illegal, feel it makes you lazy and depressed... and you live under the assumption that when you quit you feel better and be more effective in life when you quit...
B. You stop and during the first 2 weeks it is actually in still your system... but just by changing your routine up and decreasing the amount in your system and not wake-n-bake and using all day you fell better...
C. Give it a few more weeks and now it is out of your system and you realize that the weed was not even the issue and that you were not as impaired due to the weed as you thought you were... but with the "dream" that your life would get better you assumed that things would fix itself when you stop and now you have to live life with out the positive effects of THC...
So this "dream" of when you sober up along with the effects of the THC actually resulted in you not being able to accurately assess the actual positive and negative effects of the substance...
Unlike other substances, THC seems to create more impairment in understanding it well while you are using it in excess...
seen in hundreds of times... quitting other substances is a different path tho...

Get real kid. I think your real addiction is attention and I feel stupid for giving you any.
If you smoke all your friends weed and are about to graduate, won't the "problem" sort itself out? Or maybe you are so cool that your friends will come find you and force weed upon you. |

That is opinion, not fact. |

Doctors orders-not yours. You're not allowed to puff. This gets you off the hook in social situations. And last-resisting weed is NOT a herculean task like your making it out to be. Just think of resisting weed as a small little task that you can easily accomplish-which you can. In 2 weeks-you're fine. No biggie.

Umm well for me it makes me unmotivated, I don't want to do work/work out as often as when I'm not smoking, I'm not out of it when I wake up, the list goes on.
What problems did I say I had? I just want to be healthier overall. Psych therapy? For weed? That's hilarious, but thanks for the thoughts regardless
