Tired?

[Buck268]

Is anybody else tired of smoking pot? Tired of the dirty looks people give you when they find out you toke? Tired of the antisocial feelings? Tired of the brain-drain and lack of motivation?

I am. But I still haven't quit. I wish it was about the money, I'd quit over night like last time (oxymoron? maybe...) but for some reason I can't quit anymore. Maybe I've quit and come back again too many times, maybe I'm just a little out of it right now... I dunno.

All I do know is if I go a day or two without toking I'm a totally different person. And I like that person better...

Am I crazy, or am I right? Hopefully time will tell.

I refuse to give into the expectations of society. If people don't like it, fuck em. I'm moving to Holland in a couple years anyways.

I've tried my best to be objective in my evaluation of smoking, but I keep coming round to the same conclusion. That I need to stop smoking. My post above ain't no governement rhetoric, its my own personal observations.

I must be fucking retarded or something. Maybe I am, I did do a lot of other shit besides smoke....

:D BUCK.....m8 if you want to have a break from toking then good for you m8, cos I know there has been times that I wonder why I do it, but then pain hits and I'm no longer wondering! At the end of the day my friend it is mind-over-matter.....just say to yourself "I don't mind and it doesn't matter". If you like the person you are when not smoking then only you have the power to be who or what you want to be, you are in control of your future.... :D

Just take a break, man.

That's what I used to do. I'd just take a break for about 4-7 days while working out and drinking water. My breaks were mostly to lower tolerance, but also because I felt I had to stop smoking so much.

And let me tell you, after those breaks, that first hit is the greatest. Tastes so sweet, mouth starts watering, mmmmmm-mhhhhmmmmm!!

[Buck268]

When I don't smoke... it gets rough... I tried to stop for a few days this week. Didn't sleep for 3 days. Felt like I was on coke.

Went to Physics on Day 2 of no smoking, after being up for about 30 hours. Even tired as I was, the physics work was so incredibly easy. Its like I just saw how to fit things together and eveything just... clicked...

Seems to do that whenever I clean up for a bit. School would be jokingly easy if I didn't smoke and kept up with my school work (and Istudying Mechanical engineering)....

But when I don't smoke, I have an attention span of under 3 minutes. I'm not exaggerating at all. Couple that with the worst insomnia you can imagine, and well... I'm about ot go fire a bowl :(

[kiwi]

:D Sounds to me like you already know what would be the best thing for you to do m8...... :confused:

[Buck268]

Your right... I do. I'm actually pretty bright about things, usually know the correct option to choose of whats laid in front of me.

Seems I rarely do that which I know I should, though...

I think some people are better off only toking on special occasions, that keeps it fresh, and keeps it from interfering with your life. By the way, those effects you described when you stop smoking for a while, are the mild withdrawal symptoms everyone gets (though its not exactly the same for everyone) when they quit, or take a break. The same thing happens to me when i take a break, after I've smoking for a long time.

[hoodedclum]

Damn i hear what your saying man, i think me daily smoke keeps me sain, just about. If i go a few days without a smoke i get insomna, nausea, can't eat properly and im generally im just a f8cking asshole to everyone...
problems is smoking kills my motivation and makes me lazy so i end up slacking off college work, which i really hate because i know this is my chance to make somthing of myself.
The key is moderation, when i have work or college ill just have a few bongs in the evening which will help me sleep and eat and i wont have a stone over the next day.On my days off i'll smoke as much as i want and just chill with some mates or whatever. So maybe if you just cut back on your smoking you wont feel so tierd all the time and have problems with motivation, moderation works for me.

peace.

I know exactly what your talking about.

I fix that by working out. It doesn't solve all the problems with smoking, like money-wise, but it helps with motivation and anti-socialness. It brings you commitment, confidence and motivation. When you feel like a corvette, you'll feel much better about yourself and in turn helps in every aspect of your life. I'm 21, and I feel like I'm 15, young again :)

[likemclever]

The looks donâ??t really bother me too much because only my close friends know I smoke and other than that I donâ??t care what other people think.

I know what you mean about school. Iâ??m currently in college also and I know it can be hard to balance responsibilities and entertainment. I judge how Iâ??m doing in managing them both by the quality of output that I produce. (are my grades good, are my finances ok, is my life in a state of foreword motion, am I happy in spirit) If im not getting the results I want than I quit smoking and straighten my life out a little.

The first two or three days after I quit Iâ??m a little off kilter but I know it will be like that before I quit and I chalk it up to â??thatâ??s the price I pay.â?� Tobacco is another matter when I try to quit I turn into a basket case.

If you donâ??t like the person you are when you smoke than you know what you need to do.

Hang in there, your detox symptoms WILL end.

My weed habit was pretty rediculous a couple months ago or so. I found the easiest first step was to cut back on the wake and bake. Try to give yourself like 6 hours after you wake up to blaze. Part of the reason that you say the weed is making you dumber might be because you smoke before you can really even gather yourself in the morning, and your mind is in a fog for the rest of the day cause of that.

I know you have probably heard this tons of times but exercise is key. It gives you a natural high and makes you tired so you can sleep at night without blazing right before.

[juggalo420]

id say gradualy cut back on how much you smoke, like cut it in half and do that for a week, then cut that amount in half again for another week, then just smoke like once or twice a week and you'd proberly feel normal again.

[KronicKing]

i exercise everyday,infact i excercise while high :( i lift weights everyday,run everyday but then....then i get stonned and sit around on my fat stonned ass stuffing my face ;) but your right ODB ty for the help,juggalo that a good idea ill try that MMCL man

[BOgart.bitch]

im trying to cut back at least. its not working too well for me, either, man. i usually can only get one day.. actually.. hell.. i havent been one day without pot for a while. it sucks. anymore, unless i smoke loads - a joint really only does to me what id imagine a cigarette would.

[mellowman420]

i love this post!
i agree with most of you, don't wake and bake too much and don't smoke everyday. I know it sounds crazy but you guys know that the stronger you are the more confident you become. i also do like how i feel after a workout like im super tough. i just started working out a while back and i realized i can only bench like 110-120 so i need some work. i don't suggest it but working out is crazy when your high.i know i sound weak but i never workout and im only 17. if u do a school sport and find a hobby u and your friends would both like weed will not be to big a part of your life.i say who gives a shit who knows you toke up, do what ever you what to do when your high, i know to many kids who blow off the day because they get high because they underestimate what the can do when there high so they just chill but if you try to do things high you can and with the addition of some CLEAR EYES eye drops no one will know and even without eye drops people usually just think im sick. its always crazy toking at work if you work in the restaurant business.

[mellowman420]

what do y'all bench?

[hoodedclum]

Im up to 250 :) 300 here im come !

[kyle]

I used to work out every second day. I have'nt worked out in a while, I have my own private weight set (dumbells, barbells, bench, etc.) so I have to get back into it. And as far as people go, I like the stares, makes me feel in power because these mindless ignorant fools are taking time from their meaningless lives to gossip and look at me. Ahhh school. And I used to be able to bench like 150 lbs. Probably only 110-120 lbs now. I think thats pretty strong for a 14 year old 150 lb person. I'm 6'2"+, I'm next to anerexic, I need to gain a few pounds.

[hoodedclum]

Yer man few years ago i was skinny as fuck, you need to eat big to get big working outs the easy part.

[KronicKing]

i agree with most of you, don't wake and bake too much and don't smoke everyday. I know it sounds crazy but you guys know that the stronger you are the more confident you become..

not true i work out everyday and i play football and im very modest about my strenth i benched what you did not long ago nothin wrong w/ not being able to bench much,plus im just naturaly big,6'3 200lb @ 15,but if anything my size has taught me not to be over confident.size can go to your head real fast :) but it can humble you aswell


im maxing at 225 right now but ive been geting lazy lately so that will probly go down in the next few weeks

[chris420]

Im just tiiiiired tiiiired tiired of this shit man that people think ur a criminal and look down on u for smokin grass, this is all i got to tell them" thanks to the use of hallucinogenic drugs i see through you"
ima take a break for atleast a couple days after the week binge i just came from, i need to purify my body atleast 10%

[ezjim]

any anti social feeling's i have are caused by idiot's that can't mind there own buisness not by cannibis as far as motivation nothing get's me going in the AM better than a joint or a couple bong hit's if your feeling unmotivated maybe you should take a look at your diet many stoner's dont eat very good they just eat a lot

[qwerty]

buck i totally agree with you....

if i havent smoked for like a week or longer, my friends ask me "pete have you been laying off the weed?" and they say i act and look better

[Darkneon420]

Man...this thread is making me think about ending wake and bake sessions...fuck...oh well i'll have more weed for the weekends, perhaps I wont run out again...>_>

[Rarrr]

I dont care about what ppl think anymore. Those who look down on my weed smokin I just laugh at for their close mindedness, ignorance and stupidity for believing all the governments propaganda. Hahahahahahahahahaha :D
