Good luck to you, Gnome. A break can't hurt, and if you feel better without, then all the more power to you. I feel better without, too. Mostly physically. It really did do nasty things to my heart rhythm the last time I smoked, and I'm on an anti-arrhythmic medicine now that it could be downright deadly in combination with. As a very smart person recently pointed out to me, if you're in favor of people having the freedom to smoke weed, then you need to be just as much of an advocate for people who choose not to too.

Good luck with your personal experiment. I hope your anxiety lessens. Try working as much exercise into your life as you can right now. It really helps me with anxiety and tension, and for men, it's great for your vascular health and erectile function. Remember that non-smokers--even those simply taking temporary breaks--can still be greatly effective advocates for cannabis.
