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 pain worse when I get higher than a mild buzz. So I've quit entirely, and don't plan on starting again. I haven't sworn it off for all eternity, I just think in the distant future it'll be something I indulge in once or twice a year on a special occasion. Hopefully by then my tolerance really would be back to zero and the "magic" would be back. Because seriously, it was more magical and amazing and outright psychadelic than any substance I've ever experienced (and I've been around the block). Wish I could go into details, but ah well.

Also, I can confidently say that the so called "addiction" claimed by prohibitionists is nonsense. 2 1/2 years of smoking, heavily, and I don't have any sort of withdrawl of any kind. Not the slightest desire or need to smoke again, lol.

Anyway, that was a nice 2 1/2 year chapter in my life, time to start the next one. I'll still hang with all my good friends here of course .

Anybody else in the same boat?
Dude, I heavily respect you for being wise enough to be able to look at your situation and assess what is what. You aren't living any illusions, and that fills me with a fuzzy sense of joy. So many people bring so much bullshit in when they quit something, anything, whether it be weed or tv or a relationship or alcohol or cigarettes.
