comfort from weed without having to get high?

[cygnustaxt]

ok so just a little background, I took a break from smoking about 3 weeks ago. I had been smoking pretty much everyday for about 4 or 5 years. Now the first couple of days i was just really irritable but nothing too bad, after that I didn't even have cravings to smoke but i just felt like something was missing. This weekend i smoked like 4 blunts with my friend and ended up getting a dime off him, just to have when i really want to get high, because I find it's way easier to not smoke if i have it. Kinda weird but i feel safer knowing that if I really want to smoke, I can. If I dont have it, then it seems like I want it even more, but anyway what I was getting at with this thread is that since it was a dime i didn't really feel like putting the whole sack in my grinder so I've just been breaking it up by hand. It seems like when i break it up with my hands, its exactly the craving that I was looking for when I was taking a break, if that makes any sense. For example, I was thinking about smoking a bowl a few minutes ago and after I broke it up and packed the bowl I realized that I didn't even want to smoke that much, I just needed something to do with my hands and its sort of relaxing and almost ritualistic when you break up the weed and pack it all nice into the bowl or roll it up into a blunt. Anyway, I just thought that was kind of interesting and thought i'd share it with you all :jointsmile:

I sorta feel that way too. I found that I enjoy the actual process of packing up a bong and smoking it with some mellow music playing more than I enjoy being high. Its just such a relaxing process.

people who smoke ciggarettes often say one of the addictions is just how you handle/play with the ciggarette as you smoke it.

with weed im kind of the same way. i enjoy the entire process of smoking weed, not just the being high part.

Man... a friend of mine had said it, and it also happens with me... the mere fact of touching the weed and de-seeding it gives me a slight feeling of being high... its very relaxing and comforting... and surely it would help a lot if i were in a break and were craving to smoke... i would handle the weed, and the craving would go away...

i know exactly what you mean, i quit 3 weeks ago temporarily and this weekend i was at a party and rolled 3 blunts for my friends cuz i was craving it but after i rolled them i didn't even feel the need to smoke... also i felt kinda high :wtf:... coulda been from licking the tobacco leaf tho?

yeah me and my friends have talked about it before, its knowing you dont have it and cant just blaze a toke whenever you want. Then when you get a bag you can put it off for so long cause you know its there

:thumbsup:Thats why I always roll as many joints as possible when I get a sack. It's just plain really fun to do.
