Break: Day 8, some observations.

My last toke was Wednesday (September 19), before that, I was taking 2-3 waterfall hits every night for 3 weeks straight.

My tolerance rose as high as the heavens because of this.

A few things I've noticed since then.

- I'm a lot less tired all the time.
- I can remember dreams.:wtf:
- 5 headaches in 8 days. Haven't had headaches in a while before that.
- My thoughts are clear and not jumbled.
- I don't forget things as much.
- I'm less of a pussy. (bud always makes me think about other people's perspective)
- Sleep isn't as great.
- More cardiovascular endurance (obviously)
- I've been eating less and less. I would eat 6 meals a day, now I eat 3. (I want to gain wait so I can hit the gym and get more muscle)
- More money.

Since this break, 6 out of 10 observations are for the better.

Since this break, 3 out of 10 observations are for the worse.

1 being not important.



Similarities in your own observations while on breaks?

Comments?

I get shit done when I'm not high.
I can eat and sleep and remember my dreams either way.
Being high is tight and all, but I only smoke about once a week now, and I am such a lightweight that I can smoke .2-.5 and get fucked up.

Being under control is the shit. I'm happy youv'e caught on man.

Control wasn't really an issue in the past. I was always a "once a week toker". I only started the daily routine because my friend began to get paranoid about the ounce in his room and sold me 10g for 50$

Does your observations have the same weight? You said that 6 of 10 were good, and 3 of 10 were bad... so it seems smoking is a bad thing for you... unless the weight of each observation is not the same... think about it...

More money is the only plus to not smoking for me.

to your eating thing something similiar happened to me I got down in wieght while I was toking daily to like(started at 168) 155. Then when I quit I went down to 150(barely ate for a while, no munchies) then since cross country started i am back up in wieght I hate it seems like weed kept me skinny can't wate till I can smoke again.

Hmm...


= Still always tired. Always.
= Still eat buckets of food.
= Still weigh 160 lbs.
= Can remember my dreams - some I don't want to though.
= More money, which is instead spent on new piercings or other entertainment.
= Little artistic inspiration, although my photography has picked up.
= Short-term memory is as shitty as ever.
+ Cardio is easier.
+ Not as paranoid about what everyone is thinking about me.
+ Getting shit done ahead of schedule.
+ Clearer, faster thinking.
+ More assertive.
- More stress, therefore more back and neck pain.
- Depression comes back occasionally, pretty much nulling any of the positive effects of quitting.
- Getting tired of eating the same kinds of food all the damn time.
- I don't like getting drunk, so I don't really have any mental "downtime".
- Less outgoing.

Smoking effects me in a better way than a bad way.

That is how I see it.

Me too!
In fact, for me, the only good thing about having a break is going HIGHHH when smoke again... :stoned::rastasmoke::abduct:

hey what up man. i have alot of exerience w this. i get antsy and sometimes aggrivaed when i dont smoke. i go to the gym everyday no matter what i do or how much smoke. exercise/plenty of fruits and veggies is the key to low tolerance. if u just sit on ur can all day eatin pizza and takin b rips your blaze will not be as fresh.

i work 7am-3pm and today im not smoking until i get off. i usually wake n bake n toke on breaks.


DONNY:stoned:

gigantic MINUS: can't EVER get to sleep

-tired all of the time (see above)
-don't eat much for first few days, then eat tons bc i am depressed
-allergies are worse (when i am not high)
-boredom
-nothing to really work forward to at the end of school/work/ etc..
+ 20-40 extra bucks a week.... yay not.
