I THINK I WANNA QUIT!

Hey whats up. I been thinkin alot about quiting weed. I don't find gettin high fun anymore like I used too. When I first started I loved it...trippin out was fun. Now its just gettin old. I mean I still love weed, but my lungs are fucked. I can't even hit a joint or a pipe without choking. Don't even ask me to hit a bong...it won't be pretty. Sometimes I choke so hard I can't see for a few seconds. I feel like such a rookie smoker it makes me sick. The last time i hit a nice bong without choking was November of 2003. After i got that cold in November I never was the same. Man I used to be so good. My lungs were so huge and I could hit a blunt like u wouldn't believe. I know I could make a tea or brownies, but its not the same. So thats why I'm I'm thinkin of retiring my lungs and going the smoke free path. Maybe not perminatly, but at least for a long time. Hopefully my lungs will heal and I'll live on to smoke another day. What do you think...should I quit? If anyone can help me... its my fellow smokers. Thanx.

if u dont wanan smoke, dont smoke, u dont need our permission

i would take a break if i were you, maybe for a year or so

take vitamin C

i get that if ive been heavy smoking for a few weeks(very rare) give it a few months for the tar to clear and yes ur lungs will heal up, get urself a vaporizer if u wanna get stoned, no smoke at all, no tar nothing, just vapour its the healthiest way to smoke

I havent smoked for 6 days now and I'm doing alright.

u r the one who should decide on what to do,we might be sharing the same air we breath but the fried air bags enclosed in yo diaphram belong to you couz,so the decision on whether to blaze another Reefer is yours.

MAYBE DON'T SMOKE FOR A MONTH THEN YOU WILL HAVE TIME TO OVERCOME THE COLD

A true stoner never quits. If u want to, go ahead. More weed for the rest of us. lol

I hear you, cronton, although I'm not stopping 'cause I have to...I'm stopping cause I want to. and believe me, its not permanent...I'd go ballistic if I knew I wasn't gonna be smokin weed again.

anyways, come eat some mushrooms with me, don't need your lungs for those.

my lungz are fucked too buddy. an i kno wut yer talkin bout, this never endin cold. the first week i moved into my buddy Darcy'z house i got a terrible cough, an every bong, joint er anythin i hit, i wood choke my fuckin ass off an i woodnt b able ta stop chokin b4 the bong wuz bein passed 2 me again. it pissed me off so much cuz it wuz gettin 2 b such a pian in the ass 2 smoke. i had this cold fer a month an a half beleve it er not, an it wuz passed on to Darcy an another friend who wuz there quite a bit. germz do get passed along easily boyz, keep yer bongz clean! az fer quittin, giver man, wut do u got 2 lose? u can only gain frum it my friend. but ov course like eryone else said, thatz yer decision 2 make.

Buy a vaporizer, like what was said before. But you said you've stopped having fun with weed...I don't understand how that's possible. Or, just eat cookies from now on. Or, go see your doctor and he'll prescribe you something. Or, take a 2 month break.

hMm..ya know.. if it's just your lungs you're worried about, you can just pick up a covert cookie baking hobby. according to certain television shows, this can often result in hilarity. and laughing is good for your health. :D

Hey everyone thanx for the tips about the vaporizer, I'm gunna try it. I'll try the baking the cookie thing too, cuz I loved laughing when i smoked. As for u GEOFFROWLEY19... I wasn't askin for ur permmision asshole I was askin for a solution to my problem. So if u had nothin say then u wasted ur time writin that useless shit u idiot. GET BENT!. Again thanx for everyone elses support and help.

If you dont enjoy it, don't do it. I'll probably do it for a couple more years since I'm starting college, then I'll switch to a vaporizer.

If you say that before you could hit like a champ, then that mnay be why you cough, you have breathed that shit, and most blunts expetially philly's fuck your lungs up when you take big hits that shit gets stuck somewhat in you lower lobes of your lungs, it's like excercising while you are smoking, iT is really bad for you,

Read the new issue (white cover with doctor bag full of buds :) ) of HighTimes article about tar it has alot of really good info that people usually have no idea about. Also if you smoke menthol cigs and smoke blunts that shit will fuck up your lungs i have seen Newport smokers cough up fuckin blood because that shit is bad bad poison.

Also swag is not that bad in penut butter cookies if it's ground up and if your really into a good batch of cookies just make some green butter. :) ps sorry about the f'd up spelling

so smoking blunts is really bad for u?

Do you have to put more weed into a cookie then you would have to smoke? I don't have much money.

Dude, this is due to your own lack of self care. Ride a bike or run or something, clear out your lungs and get the blood flowing. Quit smoking for a while and save up for a vaporizer. Do something thats self fulfilling, and u know, when you start smoking again, your tolerance will be low and you'll enjoy the high, and stay consistent with all that I listed above. Right, and green tea. Green tea will take care of anything.

I don't know what else to say, man. It sounds like you've run yourself in with smoking. Sounds like your anxious about it. You own yourself. You can do anything. You can go anywhere. Take responsibility. Smoke responsibly, and don't let people reign you in with all the Ronald Reagan fried egg crap.

hey Stooj, by green tea, do you mean chinese green tea, or stoner green tea? just curious...apparently chinese green tea is actually incredibly good for you, although it tastes kinda funny if you're used to earl grey.

smoke lowers ur immune system, when i been smokin a hellofalot i usually get colds, or chest infections and shit, the only way to get rid of them is to quit smokin until u feel ok again.. i used to hate hittin a bong coz id caugh like a motherfucker too coz of some chest infection.. i used to hock up a load of yellow phlegm too, it was fucked up.. so i quit for a bit, took a load of antibiotics and i was ok..

Do you also smoke ciggarettes? A friend of mine was a heavy smoker (cigs) and a real light weight toker. But, from smoking so many ciggs (NEWPORTS! EVIL!) She's got a constant cough. It's the most disturbing thing, she'll talk to you one minute and break out into the most horrible coughing fits the next. Smoking a bowl is like the equivalent to smoking a pack of ciggarettes, so if you're smoking both, I'd imagine you'd be doing double damage to your lungs. dude, just take a break from it for a week or two, see how it goes. If you're feeling better, go back, if not take another week or two or three till you feel better. YOU CAN DO IT! :)

smokin a bowl iz like smokin a whole pack? damn i smoke the equivalent ov at least 10 packz a day then.

dude, lol thats probrably why!

That reminds me of things like "smoking a cigarette takes 5 minutes off of your life" and "for every joint you smoke a little baby in india dies" or all that other bullshit people make up to make u stop what ur doing, LOL

smoking a bowl is not like smoking a pack of cigs.are u serious?

I just started a short break a couple days ago because of the coughing. Smoking so much everyday is making me cough up some nasty shit. Take a break for a couple months and maybe you can enjoy again.

smoking a bowl isnt like smoking a whole pack. What are you, Ydoyouthink.com? It's supposed to be like 4 cigs.
