I've put toking behind me. Anybody else?

[LIP]

It's a shame to see you go, but this proves weed isnt addictive at all, people CAN control when and if they smoke, and how much they smoke. It's very decisive and right for you, so best of luck! I hope you stay on the site though, i enjoy your posts.

I myself, probably wont give up. I enjoy it so much and it's such a big part of me [which i know people will think i sound addicted, but i'm not, i choose not to stop] that i cant really see myself without it. For starters i'd be in pain, but more the fact i enjoy life stoned much more than i ever would sober. Life is meant to be fun, and productive along the way, and maybe even bang out a kid while your going along, and life for me stoned is very fun, and it doesnt affect me at all.

But anyway, like i said, goodluck and dont vanish from the site!

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 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.

I know exactly how you feel. I wrote a book on stopping the weed. Helping others to quit just as easily as you and I did!

I just recently quit too. i stopped for alot of different reasons. one to help me get over some of the depression and emotional problems i was facing with giving up my child.. smoking just seemed to make those feelings worse after a while. after covering it up for so long, and then got busted for pot, and loosing all the friends around me that werent doing pot (most of which i really respected, and valued) and finding a good job. i just dont have the time to really fit it in my life at this moment. yes i still want to smoke, but at this time in my life, there is alot more important stuff that matter... dropping out of school was a bad choice, dropped out to go get stoned every day.. i was being one of the people that give pot a bad name.. but once i get my shit in line, i will probably pick up the pipe again, and use it in an entirerly different persective then i used it for before.
