Weed not fun anymore??

Hey guys,
I've been smoking the green for a while now and lately when i smoke it just seems to not really be as fun as it used to be, almost like i'm just getting sick of being high which i thought i would never say. I've been smoking pretty much everyday for a couple months and now that school has started i really find that its harder to concentrate than it was last year and my memory sucks now.
I heard taking breaks because of my tolerance would make my high better but ive done everything. Taken about 10 days off then went back and i got bloody high but it still just wasn't that great anymore. It cant be the nug im getting because its usually really nice headies and i get it in a variety of strains.
Sometimes i honestly just don't know if it is worth the money to pick up bags anymore because when i look back on it i could have saved so much money. And i've tried doing different shit while high and i still love to blaze and play guitar or drums or go mountain biking or something.
Growing is also out of the question since i still live with my parents but someday it will happen

take a 2 week break then smoke and see if that changes your mind :thumbsup:

10 Days probably wouldn't be as noticeable, but try quitting for a month or 2, and maybe find a new activity?

dude, wtf ? do u smoke weed cuz its cool or u have personal reason/enjoyment to smoke?!

it should be the latter case!

if YOU dont enjoy it anymore, just quit for a while, until u crave it again and check to see if u can get your enjoyment back... or just quit it alltogether...

its all up to YOU.

i learned not to let weed to meddle with my serious(er:D) part of life... school is going to finish most likely b4 u are 25 and an avg life term these days goes into 70s n 80s, so learn to keep the two separate if the mix is not helping u...

smoke on occasions or even better reward yourself with smoking... make a plan say like set a goal to make an A in first major upcoming exam, if u made it, then go roll up a fatty for yourself... it worked for me

school + everyday smoking may be one of the worst ideas... I went thru it and made it thru... but YOU DO NEED YOUR SHORT TERM MEMORY for school and everyday smoking will cause problems!

But if u make school and college thru in good shape, then u can land a high pay job work a lil and save and perhaps get up on your own feet and start a business... anyhow, unless your type of job screws u over with random drugtests, u will be able to truly enjoy weed then, your life will kinda be a repetetive boring cycle... no more new things that u HAVE TO learn and be ready to get tested over like school!

Ever try Heroin? joke joke JOKE!!!!!! It may not be as fun as the first time evertime and it most likely never will be again but when i moved to Hawaii I didnt even look for bud until i found a job and passed the drug test. 4 weeks had gone by since i had smoked and that seemed like years to me. When me and my girl smoked for the first time in that long, we both got higher than should be allowed!! Dont give anyone any reason to believe the hype about pot being a gateway drug cuz that is exactly what i thought of when i read this. I know you never said anything about wanting to try anything harder, it would just seem to be the next step for some people. Stick with pot always! The good times and the bad! In 5 years you will be thankful your not waiting in line at some clinic to get your fix everyday...

Do you get really high for that one time and then not so much eachtime after? Or Is even that high not all that great?

If i were you i would just keep a bag around for smoke every few days ya know? You ever use a nice bong? Maybe insted of trying to smoke little bits all the time (Im just guessing that might be how you do it) Try big amounts not as much.

Hope some of this helps. My post above was me just tryin to do my part in warning someone in a positon i was once in and definatly took the wrong path but have since found the way. Dont take any detours to happyness...

Yea i was sooo baked after that 10 day break but each time after that day that i smoked i was back to ground zero you know?
I also just got this nice bong w/ an icecatcher and it rips better than i could have hoped for. What im just going to do is take a nice long break and get my lungs at least semi-healthy then blaze again.

Quit for a awhile if ya feel the need
its not rocket science, but dont go to harsher drugs, or you will regret it,
, are ya 'getting bored' because ya cant get higher?

ya can only get so buzzed on herbs I know this

Im a medicinal only user herbage helps me cope
Im sick of the shittin lies in this stinkin world


rotza ruck



Im not quittin

the reason is your tolerance drops signifcantly from day2day smoking in 10 days

but since its initial position is so high due to regular smoking, once u hit a couple of bowls after 10 days u will be in average tolerance level

i would say make it a weekends thing, cuz these breaks... u will have to repeat! thats just the way it works, i have had the same problem and only way is to give it time and go for it again... one more advice, when u do take a break and smoke after it, dont smoke heavily... stay with 1 smoking session for a 24 hours period and give it 24 more hours for your next and test it

most of the time, the way u describe it, problem seems 2 occur when u take a break and then smoke a few times from your pipe or bong on the day u get back @ smokin... that will ruin your 10 days of soberness in less than 10 hours. it only takes about 3 very small bowls of some 10-15% thc bud to bring your tolerance back up to the extent that u wont get high the next morning anywhere close to what u got the day b4!

well, here i will pose to you this question. Do you smoke until you get uber stoned every time, or do you smoke till you get buzzed? For a few months i would smoke until i got really stupid, everytime, then i started smoking until i got buzzed and i enjoy smoking more than i did before, not to say i dont get really stoned anymore, but most of the time i will smoke only a few hits out of a bowl, then rest for a few minutes, then take a few more.

taking a regular break helps as well, i tend to smoke a week, take a week off, then smoke a week, and another off week. it helps keep me regular.

Weed doesn't really get me "high" anymore either...no matter how I smoke. It's sort of like taking a good multi-vitamin now or something...is this what you are talking about? Take a break...2 weeks. Smoke and see if you like it anymore. If you don't repeat a few times till you decide to "quit" who knows...you may enjoy it later on in life.

maybe it's just not for you, or maybe you just need to quit for a while and come back to it later.

Thats what I would do. Be sure when you start back you do it slow(Every few days) and maybe that will help more. I hope it does anyway, nobody should have to go with out being able to get high...

wtf?? Stop Smokin Then!!

im on a long tollerance break right now, its about 1 and a half weeks into it, and im not gonna smoke until my grow is finished (almost 7 weeks into veg, about to flower) and before i started my break i almost wasnt getting high off smoking a whole joint to myself. i cant wait until my plants are finally done..im gonna get high as fuck.

Combine, I was in your position a while back. I have stopped smoking cannabis and my life has been incredibly good since then. I made a thread a while back, you might find it, but some idiots decided to ruin it by insulting me and my decision to quit. I don't know if it got deleted because of those kidiots.

It sounds as if you aren't getting high because you smoke too often. Don't smoke every day. Make it a once a week or twice a month type thing. The high will be better.

There are many things to get your mind off cannabis. Play sports, pick up a hobby of your choice, listen to music, read books. I would suggest studying. If you are having difficulty concentrating, studying what you did in school that day will train your mind to pick things up faster in your daily life and in class (remember: learning is understanding and not memorizing) and will get you better grades (there is nothing wrong with trying to get the best marks as possible).

I hope I helped out.

Good luck.

thats natures way of telling you thats it time to start drinking. :D

exactly, if you smoke too much, then being high ceases to be 'special' and just becomes business as usual.

yeah i agree... i smoked daily for years.. and because it didnt give me the same effect as when i first started smoking, I decided to quit for a few months..

i started smoking like a month ago, and man lemme tell ya, that first joint after 3 months of no smoking was BLISS.

good luck!

I have smoked for 5 years on and off. Weed is never going to be as fun as when you started. I just think of it as, its twice as good as being sober :).

Also as people have said, if you take a break, the weed will be better when you smoke again.

Mother Nature would NEVER ever advise such things... stick to the weed! :rastasmoke:

you must go with the flow...of your environment. If you're busy with studies and school then catching a buzz may seem to 'loose precious time' out of your busy day. When I'm busy working ( I work part time, seasonal) getting stoned comes after work, if I find the time. It's not bad to be busy like that. feel it out. I have days where I smoke a couple of joints all to myself and other days where I have a single one-hitter. I always get stoned and love it. I do have at least one friend who doesn't seem to get stoned anymore. What a bummer that must be. I've been like that for over forty years pretty much and it's still working for me. A lot of it is the individual.

I agree.

Time for me to take a tolerance break, too. I'm smoking more and enjoying it less than usual. It came on quick.

I have 25 THC test strips that I got on-line for $30. I will use one per week, until I'm clean again. ( besides that, I'm down to 3 quart jars left, I need to make it though the winter, grasshopper)

Going "cold turkey" is tuff....:D

That's exactly why I only smoke on the weekends... and sometimes not even every weekend. At the very most I'll smoke 2 or 3 times in a week, but that is rare. If I smoke every day I can feel my tolerance build day by day and I don't like that.

It may sound silly, but when I smoke I can feel the effects for a couple of days anyway. I don't mean to say that I stay stoned that long... that wears off within hours. But I just feel more laid back generally and more thoughtful for a couple days after I toke. I love that feeling. If I burn everyday that feeling goes away; it gets to where I feel sober all the time even though I've burned.

I enjoy being sober, and I enjoy being high. I try to live life so that I can enjoy both. One of my favorite things about doing that is having really cool ideas when I'm high, and then applying myself to them when I'm sober. That's just something I really enjoy doing.
