Just don't do it, simple as that.

lmao,its not that simple

It really is, anyone who says they are addicted to weed is a pussy

No it really isnt

but you prolly know everything about it

[TheHundred$]

@ Class - Anything you do excessively or do every day is considered abuse, I am high everyday because it is all around me and I really enjoy it so it's hard to pass it up, I also see the negative things it does and I just feel like I'm in a rut, it's holding me back. Marijuana is not physically addictive but it is mentally addicting. Think of it this way... Me and all my friends use weed with fun activities we like to do because it "enhances" the experience... Well pretty soon you can't enjoy these things without marijuana, it becomes a routine and whether you know it or not you start to have duller emotions, laziness, depression, and it basically just puts you in a haze. I am experiencing all these things but at the same time marijuana is a good friend and companion that I don't want to lose, I know it's hard to picture it that way but it really is like that.

Thanks for your advice Mike it's really refreshing to hear your advice being the great poster that you are. Thanks so much to everyone else who responded. Tommorrow is the day, I might just wake up and take a jog considering how I feel.

I wouldn't quit cold turkey. What do you smoke, like 3 joints a day? 3 times a day? I would slowly ramp it down.

First week, 2 times a day. Second week, 1 time a day. Third week, Once every two days. Week 4, twice a week. Week 5, once a week. Week 6, don't smoke. Week 7, smoke once. Week 8, quit for good.

That would be a two month plan for quitting, and should be more reasonable than just quitting out of the blue. A possible other advantage: maybe you find out that smoking just once a week is a good balance. You get to still hang out with those friends, get high every once in a while, but you are free the rest of the week.

Anyway,

Good Luck!

Agree with the first part however i know from personal experience just with alcohol maybe you can relate but when you don't drink for a while you make up for all the time you did not drink on the night you drink again you know what i mean? For example i had 3 weeks of exams and after my exams i made up for all the nights i missed out on in one afternoon.

agree with Mike's post, good luck man best thing to do is try to keep your mind of it, keep yourself occupied avoid friends for a while if you have to until you are sure you don't need it when having fun. Just don't lie to yourself.

..... or just buy World of Warcraft heard that shit sucks the life out of you haha

So how's the first day going?

[TheHundred$]

Hey guys it is day 1, it is only 10:43 am here at the moment so the day still has a long way to go but I have not smoked. I woke up at 6:30 am and when I woke up and had my morning coffee I really wanted to smoke. Today is a day where I have nothing going on so usually on a day like this I would have toked in the morning and not really cared, and continued to do so all day so I would not get "burnt out".

I just want to clear a few things up.

First of all I love marijuana. I truly believe that since marijuana comes from the earth naturally and gives the effect it does without man having to alter it in anyway, that it is not so much a drug as it is an herb. I believe it is medicine and it does have very positive effects on different disorders and problems like that. I do not think marijuana is bad, the only bad aspect is the smoke which is harmful to your lungs, but keep in mind you can eat marijuana and get the same effect without having to smoke it. That being said the problem I have is the addiction, marijuana is a GOOD thing. Have you ever heard "Too much of a good thing"? You can become addicted to ANYTHING whether its running, biking, sports, alcohol, sex, masturbation, pills, coffee, food and yes even marijuana. Anything that has a positive effect on you can be abused if you are doing it more than you should be. So don't tell me you can't be addicted to marijuana and that I am a "pussy"

I do have to quit cold turkey because I have tried the method mentioned above. Lets say I want to only smoke on weekends and I quit smoking Mon-Thurs. What happens is once I smoke I just keep smoking and fall right back into the habit, so when the next Monday comes around I just drop what I was trying to do and keep smoking. Why? because weed makes you lazy and when you on it, it changes your thought process to be lazy and take the easy way out. Thats why people who smoke weed have the attitude that you won't be addicted and you can't be addicted, because honestly when you are on it and have it in your system you just don't think clearly and it masks the problems you have.

Take it from me I am speaking from experience, I have smoked marijuana everyday for the last 3 years. It starts out as a completely different substance than it later becomes. It starts out as a recreational thing where on weekends and stuff you smoke some weed and you are baked out of your mind and laughing at EVERYTHING and just having an all around good time no matter what you are doing. Everything you do with your mates it makes funner and pretty soon your toking every single movie you watch or activity you do. After about a year of doing it everyday, you smoke and still get way high but it's different. You don't giggle, you don't laugh, you don't as much fun, lets put it this way... You get used to it. Pretty soon you can't do any fun activities without weed, you can't have a good time without weed. Why? Because you are so used to the routine and having the feeling that after awhile you pretty much depend on it. This is where the "addiction" to Marijuana is, not physically addicting like cocaine or heroin but mentally addicting.

Let me describe what is happening to me at the moment.

-When I smoke I need to keep smoking about every 30 minutes because my high wears off and I just get way burnt out and tired.(I used to be able to smoke once and be high for 3 hours)

-I have this haze over my eyes and in my brain, I feel like I am not myself. Instead of laughing and having fun it's turned into saying stupid things and doing stupid things.

-My emotions are out of wack, I feel dull and numb to everything. Nothing is as exciting as it ever was and I basically have a lack of lust for life, I have found myself thinking suicidal thoughts and questioning why I should even be alive. I find no motivation to go to the next phase in life. I am 19 years old and I have been unemployed basically all summer and have been content spending my days lounging around and smoking and chilling. I want to move out of my parents house, I want to have money, I want to be able to support my girlfriend when the time comes. And yet with marijuana it seems no matter how bad I want something I can always take the easy way out and put it off until tomorrow, which keeps getting put off. I want to workout, I want to be healthy and look and feel good but when I think of working out I just wanna go sit back down.. It seems like working out would be terrible and I just don't have it in me.

So just a warning to people who think you can't get addicted to marijuana, It starts out as a completely different drug and then changes into something very terrible as time goes on.

I'm sorry for rambling but it just feels good to get it all out, this is kind of like therapy or rehab I guess and it's just what I need to get out of this rut I am in because I literally feel stuck. You have no idea how much you guys have helped me with the support and interest, My thanks to you all.

I want to move out of my parents house, I want to have money, I want to be able to support my girlfriend when the time comes.

Think of things like this every time you want to go back to it, and that should help stop.

Keep it up

Don't compare alcohol and marijuana. Alcohol causes a physical dependency, where weed can only cause a psychological dependency. Plus, drinking more gets your drunker (in on session), whereas marijuana saturates in your bloodstream - once you reach a certain level of high, smoking more won't increase its effects.

[TheHundred$]

^ true, if anything alcohol is WAAAAAAYYYY more dangerous than weed.

It's like trying to compare a knife with a stick.


Anyways it's Day 2, It's still morning here so theres not really much to say about today.

Yesterday got harder in the evening and I noticed a few strange things happened.

-I felt depressed.

-I did not eat all day until about 9 o clock pm.. literally. I did not have an apetite.

-I had a hard time falling asleep and when I did fall asleep I had a very strange lucid dream. It looked and felt real.

I really wanted to smoke and even got smoked in front of once and it made it hard but i didn't give in.
