all the tolerance

[beachguy in thongs]

^ you know funny you say that, BeachGuy, cuz the last time i quit for a month and a half (about 2 years ago) was the day I started dating my current boyfriend.

It wasn't intentional, I just got so swept up in him that I just misplaced all thoughts of weed.

Now I have a show to distract me (I play Eilert Loevborg in Henrik Ipson's "Hedda Gabler" if any of you know it) so I hope to conquer it once again.

Well, give it four more years. My ex-girlfriend stopped smoking pot, and, one year later, we became roommates until we both moved out.

Best of luck with your current relationship, though. :thumbsup:

I don't know many Norwegian games.

edit: At the beginning of the relationship, she wasn't smoking herb (she was at nursing school), but had before. Then, we smoked together for four years, or so.

come a month from now I doubt we're going to hear you saying you regreted it. Tolerance breaks are always definetly worth it

i went on a 2 month break to lower tolerance.
the first few days were the easiest for me because iwas full of will power..it was after like week 3 thati cracked because i was just like well whats the point..i keep getting offered free weed and im turniong it down, im spending all the money ive saved from weed on take aways and im bored.

A massive thing that helped tho was replacing the weed smoking with another hobbie
i started doing weights again

basically i started my break done weights nd got allot of fast food then decided it was all pointless nd started smokign again

its funny tho because weed really takes away allot of my motivation to do things lol

obviously not 100% but it makes me content with what i am doing and stops me from wanting to have a crack at anything else that is going to take a while.

Anyway my 2 month break was a new years resolution :thumbsup:
It would have been due to finish on march the 1st lol

Actually, weights and exercise were really some of the top priorities I had to motivate me to keep up with my break. I've never been ripped or defined, always had that one layer of baby fat on me, and those goodamn munchies (:stoned always seem to squelch any gym results lol, so we are thinking alike in that respect.

The tredmill was killer yesterday, because my lungs are in the process of healing (i guess). Because when I smoked daily and ran on the tredmill I was fine, but after a 4 day break, and my lungs are coughin up shit left and right, I had to walk some of my usual jog.

come a month from now I doubt we're going to hear you saying you regreted it. Tolerance breaks are always definetly worth it

And i definitely don't think I'll be regreting it. I've been an avid smoker for over 4 years now, so a month or so without it will really just be... well, that. Just a month.

I've read on the board that some ppl hav different opinions on when your tolerance gets back down to square one (if there is such a thing). Some ppl said 2 weeks will do it, others say it takes a month.

Is there really such thing, for an avid smoker, as getting your tolerance completely down?

[NextLineIsMine]

Sort of... None of us really know the specifics but after two weeks more time doesn't really seem to make a noticible difference. It will however build up your anticipation though.

Wow, quit for 8 months! Man, I'm sure there will come a time in my life when i can say "shit it's been years since i smoked", but no time soon lol.

Potcake, my boyfriend, didn't smoke muuuuch before we started dating. But I don't even think I knew that when we started dating and I just up and stopped for over a month.

But now he smokes (im a bad influence!!) and he's a vocalist, but he bought a vaporizer (HerbalAir), and I'm in the process of buying a bong (still not 100% effecient in elliminating carcinogens, but better than nothin) so we're health-conscious... hehe sort of.

My ex girlfriend though, she was always against me smoking weed, and then she got into it herself slightly, but was still kind of hypocritical about it. She didn't understand how casual pot could be.

Anyway, Day 5 of my fast went well... i was very lethargic and slightly down today, not sure if that had to do with staying up late, or my body becoming used to not smoking. This i the first day I've felt anything slightly resembling mental withdrawl...

im on the first day of my break. i think i will take a week off. smoke one blunt on the weekend if i go to the beach or something then take another week off till my spring break. so it will either be 2 weeks straight or week off, smoke one day, then another week off

More power to you, dude!! That's a good way of doing it, in incriments with the blunt.

Officially, i foresee myself smoking on March 22nd, the day I get back from an overnight trip to Montreol (for a friends 22nd birthday), so as it stands I have 27 days left... AH! lol Total, it will have been 33 days without weed. 33 days longer than it's been in 2 years!

The way I see it, your cannabinoid receptors are activated within seconds of inhaling. The only thing that's building up the tolerance is that your cannabinoid receptors are not functioning properly.

But, yeah, if you don't smoke for four months, you'll have more appreciation for it than you would if you stop for four days. That's if you smoke for reasons other than you've been demolished, hammered, and, tampered with, after you had your brain bounced around your skull.

^ yea i smoke purely for recreation. There's no physical or mental ailment that requires the use of the smokey pain killer. I just do it for fun.

Today I find myself 12 pounds below what I was at the start of this semester, and I do think that the majority of my progress has been made in the 6 days I've stopped smoking. Im not saying I lost 10 pounds in 6 days, but my will power has grown, and my dedication is strengthening.

I'm still feeling somewhat lethargic, perhaps still has a result of my brain missing weed, but in 15 minutes i'll be jogging on the tredmill and doing 300 crunches, so my adrenaline will be pumping and I'm sure I'll be feeling better.

On the other hand, during the first half of this little weight-loss journey, i WAS smoking, and to be honest, the notion that I was going to get to smoke that night was really what kept me motivated. I had to give up all my favorite foods, but I rewarded myself for doing that and going to the gym by getting a toke at night.

So it's neither here nor there with any relation to smoking & weightloss. It works differently for different ppl.

I guess it works both ways for me. I'm BiSmokable lol.
