By challenging everyone to stop for a week you are assuming everyone smokes more then once a week. There are some of us who smoke once, maybe twice a week. I'm one of them. Right now I'm on a break even from that much (due to relationship problems I won't go into now), and of course I'm not any more productive now then when I was smoking once or twice a week. Why would I be?

Even if I smoked everyday or whatever... brother, weed is what *you* make of it. If you can't help but use it as an excuse to be lazy and do nothing, then that's a problem with *you*, not with weed. Television can be used as an excuse to do nothing too. So can a lot of things. Personally, I can't watch TV because I let it suck me in and I don't do shit with my evenings. That's me. If other people want to watch it... fine. I know people who easily watch one show and then turn it off. I can't do that easily. But that's no reason for me to tell people "TV holds you back". It holds *me* back. I can't fucking stand it. But that's me.

Good Lord, don't blame the weed. And yes, that is what you're doing when you say things like, "weed does slow you down and holds you back." Just acknowledge that you have trouble handling weed, and move on. There's no need to judge the weed. It is just a plant. Judge yourself.

If you are thinking about quitting or taking a break, let me say, its worth it.
I have only been smoking for about 3 years and it was a good time, weed is amazing.. but I realized I wasn't very productive anymore.

Don't get me wrong, I was still taking care of what I needed to do and I was responsible with my use but upon taking weed out of my life I just felt drastically better. All my friends just sit around and get high all day, from the outside looking in, its pretty pathetic.
Like many of you, I felt like I was still fine and you know "its just weed", but seriously, taking a little break will make you realize that weed does slow you down and holds you back, wether it be school, fitness, relationships, whatever.
I challenge anybody to stop for a week, save money, lower your damn tolerance.
or not..
just keep staying high.. lol. Just figured I'd share
