Yeah O...I was going to say..."Don't you do anything else besides smoke weed?"...Then Owl reminded me of this, which is so true.

We used to smoke a lot in HS, but a lot of times it was when we were playing basketball or some other activity. It's a shame it isn't summer right now...but either way...Get the fuck out of your house. I'm sure they got a gym near you or something. Get your friends together and play some ball...I get a much better high draining a 3 than from smoking. Get a few layers of clothes on and get some football games going. Anything physical helps...exercise of course, but I can't see that happening lol (prove me wrong).

On the weekends...go to some parties or friend's houses where there won't be any bud (hard, I know)...just have a few beers or whatever you like...just chill and socialize for once. Or go to the HS basketball games or whatever sporting event with your friends...you'll have a good time just being with your friends..and you won't even be thinking of weed if you're having a good time.

So the short the version of what I'm trying to say is be active physically...and try to stay away from being alone as much as possible. If you usually smoke after school...don't go home right away...go do something else. Then come home later and just go to bed. Try to be with other people (that aren't smoking obviously) during the times you routinely light up.

Hope this helps...hang in there kid, you'll be fine...actually I think this will be a positive experience for you (I know you think I'm crazy)...it may open your mind up to new things.

Well being on CANNABISDOTCOM isn't going to take your mind off of it :o

Get a hobby like sports or something involving art. Try some hallucinogenics.

Work at homeless shelter or soup kitchen or food bank; read stories at the public library; just grab a trash bag and start cleaning up your neighborhood or local park! There is SOMETHING that should be done and if you think about it for a bit, you will know what it is. Now get moving, boy-child!- Granny:stoned:

I think he would be better off getting a job and making greenbacks so when he get's over this bump in the road he'll have loot to buy some danky dank...

Lol so true.

BUT we love you, don't leave us :o

First few days are the worst. After that it is cake.

I was dry for 7 months. It sucked big time. But after 3 days I was fine. Read a good book or learn something new.

In fact shortly I will be taking a month or so off from weed. Breaks are good. When you travel a lot they are necessary.

I have no doubt you can do it.

read Tommy Chong's book. Actually...don't do that :o

what reason do you have to stop for? Dont stop.... lol.... or just donate me all your shit and I'll smoke it in your honor and then you dont gotta worry, I'll let you know how it was, how I feel all that good shit ;) you wont even feel like your missing anything... but how do you stop? just stop spending money on it, easy....

Orangeman-

I recently went on a month-long break for MY birthday (it was the best birthday EVER...)

I started painting a lot more. Doesn't matter if you're good or bad, it's fun as hell. I still posted on here, mostly kept to chit chat.

I'm smoking again after 30 days off, cold turkey. But now it's only twice a week. And I've never felt better. I had a gram of dank stuff in my room, and took a hearty whiff a few times a day to keep me going. I love the smell of some skunk. Stay away from people who will try to convince you to smoke... I have a sister who I toke up with at night a lot, so I had to say no. After the third day, it was pretty easy to pass up a nice glowing cherry from the bowl of my friend's bong. But yeah, the first 3 days are the "hardest" if it's even hard.

Good luck! And remember- tolerance is a bitch, so beat it!
