Hey man, good for you. I can respect your decision.I recently started smoking within the last three years and I must say I have learned alot about myself. I have learned to really appreciate life more, and my mind is much more "awake". I attribute smoking to have helped me deal with the loss of signifigant others, to the quitting of chewing tobacco (a habit I had for 6 years), and for the accomplishments I've achieved in the gym of getting ripped. I've noticed that I smoke alot more than I used too and I think I need to cut back some, it's just so damn hard for me cause I like it so much. <sigh>
I won't quit anytime soon, but I do need to cut back again. School was getting a little lazy last week and I puffed a few times before and at lunch with a few cool people from class, so I don't want to start doing that.
But fuck it, it's the weekend. :stoned:

Everyone has to make thier own choices, and you should be proud of those choices! Im just a lifer and will be in my rocking chair with my bong sitting next to it whenim 80. Im about halfway there so its not that far off. Anyhow, its a way of life for me, Im not young anymore and have made my choices in life.
As for pain, I take morphine for my pain, lots of it, Im disabled, have had 9 surgeries and pot helps better then anything. I can take less morphine when I smoke and therefor I am more productive. The morphine puts me in bed daily, makes my mind wonder, I cant funtion at all, so I cant think of life without it. My doctor always asks how I can not take my full dose, I just say Im sleeping through my dose! I use to live in a medical pot state but now its hush hush, this needs changing. People need to relize that its the oldest medicine in the world and that it does help! Just like all meds dont work for everyone, pot wont be everyones cup of tea and they may not get any pain relief from it. For me, I wouldnt be here if it wasnt for pot!
Its this simple, the founding fathers left all the BS because of civil liberties and freedom, this is the problem today. I shouldnt have to worry, stittng at home, doing what I want to do, not bugging anyone, and at any moment I could be in jail for my actions! My god, do we all forget what this country is about? Leave me alone and I wont bother anyone! Thats why I live on my 160acre farm and I rarely leave it!
Anyhow, glad you overcame this, if thats what you feel is the best for you, Great! Anyone that cant understand that can go fly a kite! Its the ones that quit and then start knocking it, that makes me mad. How can you smoke for 5-10 years then turn around and tell others not too, BS! Glad to see you havent done any of that! Thanks, and good luck!
It's been 13 months since the last time I smoked and I haven't looked back. I'm the same way as you, I'm not against weed but it's just not for me anymore. It was fun back in 8th grade when it would make me laugh hysterically, but then it got to the point where I was just sitting there doing absolutely nothing and made me feel useless.
People experiment. They stay or they go.
I wouldn't go so far as to say its behind me, but my smoking habits have definately changed for the better... After a solid year of daily smoking I decided that smoking had lost all of its magic. I hated smoking to obtain a baseline as opposed to feeling fresh and inspired.
Now I'm enjoying large periods of being sober and the occasional (once or twice a month) smoking session.
Stay around Dev, you're still one of the best members this site has...
are you still quitting?
I don't see myself ever stopping.. but I'm not an everyday use it kind of gal. I usually will only smoke if the weather is beautiful outside so it can enhance my enjoyment for nature and life. I really do trip out bad when the weather is dark and gloomy. Its like I'm bonded with nature and in touch with it as cheesy as it may sound. But I remember when I used to smoke up everyday and I really started to feel the affects of it and realized it was time to cut down. And now I'll only smoke if I'm already is a positive mindset because weed really is an enhancing drug for me, its there to make things 100 times better than they already are. :)
I understand you 100% crudemood, toking outside on a sunny day or a nice warm night is just the best.
i got a confession to make.. i said i was quitting, and ive been hitting the pipe again! im a quitter at being a quitter haha
nope not me, I use it as meds....
You gotta do what makes you happy. Weed enhances my life, but it doesn't have the same effect on everyone. If you aren't happy when you use it, than what the hell is the point to keep buying it.
Secondly this site isn't just for smokers. If someone comes here and contributes to our community, why does it matter what any of his choices in life are?
man i was put on probation so i got to quit but its been two days and i already miss it!!i will never get tired of it
I love you Mary Jane
Hey mrdevious, I haven't stopped toking myself, but I respect you for making that decision and sticking to it. Please don't feel unwelcome here, I hope you can still stay and post with us.. :)
Anyway, lately I've been feeling shitty when I smoke too. Not when I smoke alone, but when I smoke outdoors or with friends. I get slightly paranoid, my pulse quickens, and I generally feel uncomfortable. Those feelings just make me feel worse, because I'm not used to them... It makes me just want to leave, and I'm pretty sure everybody else is thinking "what the fuck is up with him?". So I can understand your reasons for quitting, and good luck to you. Peace. <3
i quit but only for like 3 months for a job. it never happened so i came back to the flower.
im gonna have to stop again if my apprenticeship tests me anytime soon.
enjoy sober living! keep postin too :thumbsup:
I feel ya man. I stopped smoking in on Jan. 5th. Almost 5 months now. I just got to the point where I couldn't get high anymore and could completely function after smoking copious amounts. I am gonna smoke next month though just for fun and only do every now and then after that for awhile.
I have been on the wagon for over 3 hours now...I am doing good:thumbsup:
I used to be a pretty heavy toker for about 2 years... For some reason it just changed in me and I changed to just one time every night before bed during the week. It helps me to fall asleep and its a great experience every night, it nevers gets old... Love playin games high most nights and can't wait for Starcraft 2 :jointsmile:
Now on the weekends, I reward myself to smoke freely at any time.... I like to party and if there smoking, I wouldn't think to turn it down.. and to those who say weed encourages cigarettes and other harder drugs.. I have only done one thing in my life, smoke cannabis. Never smoked a cigarette, never will... And I can still do the same activites I have done since I was a kid, and my breathing or running ability has not declined in the least.. So I'm not going to listen to the advertising going around us teens about it.. Yet, pursuing my own path along life the way I want...
I've noticed that by doing this, I save loads of money.. And I appreciate life a lot more. The only way I could think to explain it, is sort of like I have a very little high all day.. Like I really appreciate nature a lot more, and my life has definitely improved... I dont know, it's quite hard to explain.. Maybe down the road I might have another appreciation for herb as my body and age changes, just like everything else in life. I will have matured more going into adult hood and my mind may tell me something else. Who knows.. BTW Very high...:jointsmile:
But it all comes to down your choice, It's completely up to you and you really need to listen to your mind and your body. Don't let anyone interfere in what you do with your own life, ya only live once and it's gonna fly by.. don't miss the opportunities...
PS: And if some of that didn't make sense, don't blame me haha.. really thought about that one for a good hour and stopped typing to think quite often..
