"quitting" pot

[stangle12]

One of my pet peeves is when somebody says they're gonna "quit" doing pot. This usualy agrivates me because marijuana isn't something you quit. i mean, you may come to the decision that you dont wana do it anymore, but that almost never means your not gonna do it again. In my mind, quit is forever. you quit your job, quit stealing money, or quit cheating on your wife. maybe if you need to quit heroin...then you really do need to quit pot, but if you just smoked yourself out, all you really nead is a breather. some time to collect your thoughts, or just a simple cut back (like robert42). getting yourself in too deep is only becuase you couldnt ration out your use for yourself. its all about self control people.

i finished your sentence before i finished reading it. lol, uh? on another note, your totally right, man. when i think of bob marley's song, natural mystic--i know he's talking about marijuana. everyone knows deep inside their heads that they can't put their problems on marijuana, and if you do that just weakens your character. i could understand someone putting off marijuana because they couldn't afford to smoke anymore whether it be financially based or for your health, but permanently quitting is absolutely absurd. marijuana is the earth's knowledge, a point of view if you will. i can't explain it you see. it's mystical. the majestic things in life shall not be questioned, but accepted as truth.

some people can handle it better than others,

but there are people who do need to quit,

some of us are happy drinkers and some of us are violent drinkers.

some of us can have a few lines at the weekend and some of us need to bloodie our noses every day,

some of us can chill on weed and some of us need a straight jacket when we toke.

a good rule for me is...

smoke at night, otherwise your gonna burn yourself out before the night even comes....

i probably smoke a bowl every night just to relax and think deeply about lifes secrets... its incredible how logical it all is to you, and i feel enlightened and happy when i "figure stuff out"..... only to forget it 10 seconds later... but just KNOWING that i figured it out. makes me all the wiser

we should apply our wisdom and ability to know to paper. applying what you learn/know is key to remembering. apply it however suits you best.

I quit YOU, how about them peaches and gravy? MMMM...Peaches and gravy.

Quitting something means you cease to use it, or you give up because you are weak. So, yes, you can literally quit using pot.

[Nochowderforyou]

If people want to quit, then so be it. I don't care.

I have cut down considerably over the las year or so. It was getting to the point where I would sit down, smoke 6 joints in a row to myself just to get high.

I'm glad I'm not burning though reefer like that anymore! :cool:

Peace

[STDzRus]

I'm quitting weed... and this forum

goodbye forevers
or until I make a new screen name

lol

I hate both of those, if you want to go then go but don't make a big announcement trying to get folk to beg you to stay.

Now, if you are about to lose your internet or get sick or something then yes I am behind you making an announcement. Come back when you can and you will get big cyber hugs and welcomes. If the reason is just..I'm leaving because I'm bored here now and I've grown past this forum then fuck off and leave already.

I feel you on quitting weed, perhaps it is just that I hate to be a quitter. ;-)
I would never admit that anything had such a hold on me. I'd rather take a break, because I can do that.

[robert42]

yea i agree - thanks for mentionion me positively.

thats always one of the reasons i made my thread to kindaprove u dont have to quit if ur not havin a great time just self control.

[3 Sheets To The Wind]

There are a lot of people "quitting" recently :p

[ScarlettCrush]

I think people quit weed openly on forum for the same reasons they quit the forum in the open...wanting folks to convince them otherwise.

I take responsibility for my own decisions. I smoke weed.
When I'm tired of smoking it, I'll stop. If I want to pick it up again then I will.
why isn't everyone like that?

[sophiastarchild]

ScarlettCrush, bravo!

[Looker]

I dunno guys but I gotta tell ya...

I've thought about quitting weed alot recently..I can always get it thats not a problem...smoking it DOES fuck me up and yes you can forget about things and let things slide sometimes but getting high outweighs the consequences in my opinion...I can't drink cause that REALLY fucks up my life...

It CAN be a problem if you have to take drug tests or have a high risk or dangerous job..I've had plenty of those or opportunity to get those and I'm almost an everyday smoker...

It's costing me $400 a month to smoke blueberry and AK-47 or whatever..
No gettin around it.....

I make over 60K a year not including my wife but its gettin a bit pricey....y'know if you have children and all....

I dunno stuff stuff like that...

And I wouldn't be looking for any other drug...tell you the truth I'm fuckin sick of expensive drugs...I have the ability to grow my own weed so that would eliminate the cost factor as long as I dont grow weed that smells like cat piss or something...

I dunno, y'know? like I said before stuff like that ....

[STDzRus]

Funny...ALOT of people on Cananbis.com are thinking about quitting....

Nah, I just wanted everybody to be aware that I am sober when I'm posting now. Nobody is gonna convince me otherwise. Maybe others do it for this reason, but not I!

What I hate the most is when generation x says ignorant shit like "it's a fad drug." it has never been a fad. for some fake people it is, but not for me and alot of my friends and family and alot of niggas i know. it's more of a way of life. Don't get me wrong.. I don't smoke every fucking day 24/7 but I smoke a decent amount. It's a way of life. I can't really explain it, but when I'm even settled down and have kids, I'm going to toke every now and then. This is for life. I learned a while back not to use it to try and escape everything. It just enhances life experiences and makes me glad to be alive at some times. I'm never going to quit, no matter what anybody says. Now a while back I was reading some posts about these guys saying some black dudes throw a bottle of juice at them and then one guy said "have you noticed it's always the black guy?" Then another guy said. "Yeah I'm getting sick of this stuff" and all type of racist ideas started floating around. I coudn't believe my eyes? That going on here? On a site about cannabis? The one Organic compound that god made that unites men of all color, race, and idealism? Think about it. We're all linked. I'll admit, I hate alot of black people too. Our youth was raised all wrong, with no morals. I can honestly say that I feel I'm one of a few left. We need to talk to eachother, and work on our relations with ourselves, and other races. But you must understand... we're not even at peace with ourselves! But we're all linked. I love to smoke and have an intellectual conversation as well. I'm up for anything. We can express ourselves better. I don't want to get a whole race discussion started but when I'm sober, somtimes I just get so mad at what white people have done to us in the past, and what they're still doing while America thinks "Pssh, shut up, racism has been eradicated." But when I'm high, I feel at one with myself, peace with all. Those feeling are subdued, and I think back and reflect on life, and my views on certain subjects, such as racism. I don't care what color you are, what you look like, and whatever, as long as we can have a man to man conversation, we're alright. That's just how I feel.

If you can't handle it, or you think you don't need it anymore, that's good for you. But like I said before, it's for life.

...but if you just smoked yourself out, all you really nead is a breather. some time to collect your thoughts, or just a simple cut back (like robert42). getting yourself in too deep is only becuase you couldnt ration out your use for yourself. its all about self control people.

Yeah I agree. I control my self now but once I start growing I already know that everytime I harvest a plant of buds I'll end up smoking my self out of control lol.

[Lily420]

Yes...i hate it. They shouldent quit for good...its just crazy. Why not shmooke a lil? I mean, you aint gotta smoke everyday. Maybe make it a weekend thing. Occasional shmooke. :smokin:

[His Dudeness]

I've had quite a few friends "quit" smoking pot. They all ended up hot-boxing my car with me about a month or two later. I don't see why people just can't cut down. Before I moved up to school, I was killing two or three grams daily. Now that I'm up at school and I have responsibilities; I keep it down to the weekend mostly. It's just a matter of self-control.

[WhosGotTheHerb]

I need to start cutting back .. and then stopping altogether for a few weeks - a month at least. Jobs and internships :( I sure will miss the ganje for that hellish month.
