that's a bummer it doesn't move you anymore

onequickmove Reviewed by onequickmove on 05-25-2007. I've put toking behind me. Anybody else? Just wondering who else here, if any, has put the weed behind them? I quit toking as of 2 weeks ago and am commited to staying off the weed. I have nothing against smoking it of course, and I wish you all the best with happy toking, I just don't enjoy it anymore. Every time I get high I don't like the feeling at all, and I've taken 2 week and even 6 week breaks, but it's always the same lousy feeling when I toke again. It doesn't help for pain anymore, and for some reason even makes the Rating: 5

Glad you're doing what feels right for you. And Runway Jim, there are others here who've made the same choice. I don't smoke and am a mod on this site. I'm still an advocate.

I don't feel I've put it behind me, however. I still enjoyed the heck out of cannabis the last time I smoked it. It's just not something that works easily into my life right now, primarily because of the hassle of its illegality. I prefer to think of it as something that's out ahead of me in my future again--when it's easier to get without fear of repercussions and when I'll have more ability to choose the ideal strain.

I used to be an everyday toker, now I'm weekends only. And I've learned a new appreciation from it.

Best of luck to you!

I quit for a long time because I thought I had outgrown it, now that I have learned it can make me healthier I am waiting to get legal in California so I can start back up. So as one stoner quits, another sparks up:smokin:

Dude, don't buy into the flat-out extremist stance that it does nothing but good for you. It acts neuroprotectively, agressively kills cancer, settles the digestive system, improves long-term memory, and reduces inflammation (albeit the opposite for me the past year or so). But don't fool yourself, you're still putting tar into your lungs and that's never a good thing any way you look at it. It does have some mild hinderance effects on learning and short-term memeory, though there's a good chance that's temporary looking at recent research. I think science is still on the fence about it aggrivating psychological conditions like schizophrenia and depression. And lastly, it desensitizes the cannabiniod receptors in your body which is an important part of your bodies regulatory system.

Once you get a tolerance so high that you don't get that magical hallucinogenic state anymore, I think it sort of dulls the experiences in life (when you're not on it mainly) that would normally get really really excited/happy/feeling significant. That's how I've felt at least, I have an extraordinarily good memory of how I percieved the world at every age right down to when I was 3.

word man, i know exactly how you feel.

if down the road you should start smokin again, cool
if you dont, thats cool too

Seems I've had a lot of responses like this one. Thanks for being so understanding all .

I quit smoking, I just vape now.

Good for you man! I tried to stick to vaping, but when it came right down to it, smoking is more pleasurable and so much easier than heating one up for 10 minutes and having to use a wall socket. Stick to it, it's good you have the willpower.

Not yet for my. I'm, still in. What's it like being not stoned? Last I remember it was a bit dull.

Actually, it's more exciting! I find I'm appreciating life and the little things, the little beauties, more now that I'm not getting high. It's as if all the wonderful effects cannabis used to give me have completely reversed (especially the analgesia).

You should eat some. Then you'll see the beauty of mary jane in a new light once again. Never shall I leave your side sweet Mary, we're gonna go for a walk in the park everyday.

nope, i'll consider myself a toker til the day i die..

however lately, it hasn't seemed as important to me as it was from 14-20... back then it was everything to me, it was virtually the only thing i gave a shit about.. (as in material possession type shit, family members/friends don't count)

i guess this last year of having a 1/4 here, an 1/8 there, have made me realize it's not the end of the world and i'll live if i don't have it... so i just kinda now sit back and wait for it to come to me... don't get me wrong, if i found somewhere to get it, i'd probably be on it in a heart beat... but atleast i'm not sitting there all day anymore going 'i want weed' 'where can i find some..' and all the other typical desperate druggie crap...
