If i quit smoking weed, will i feel any different?

[Climbing High]

i have to quit as well. my parents found out i went to some senior party and got trashed, and they say if i fail a drug test or if they find out about me smoking again, they will not pay for my trip to peru this spring. so im gonna be clean for a month, but once i get back from that trip i too will smoke till i choke. as of right now, i hav enot smoked since friday. having been a daily smoker, quitting sucks, but im gonna tough it out. peace.

and i thought that i was the only one. weed does cause depression and making people more quiet/private. ive 100% noticed both of those in me and have been worried. i talk much less to people, i dont know i kinda dont like it.

what really makes me want to quit is just the thought of what kind of person id b if i didnt smoke pot. would i have more friends, or would i talk more to people...
and i do notice being more depressed, its tied in with the quietness. basically it could partially b because when u are not high u are depressed about not being high, and dont want to talk because u just want to go home and toke. im 16.

im 16 and been out since last monday and ill tell...it fuckin sucks! seriously, i hate bein w/o, i was a casual toker and this was the first break since new years, but im gonna keep clean for about another week or two...well until i can pass a test,

***then ill be token mornin,before afternoon, noon, afternoon, midday, evening, nite, before bed, midnite snack, middle of the nite wake up relief, before i wake up smoke...

my experience: I am 16. smoke basically every day I don't have school.

Weed has in my own opinion freed me from the chains of society if u will. This comes with a lack of motivation, because when u realize that u are living and doing something false that u don't believe is important (school for me and for u). so yes weed can be to blame for this. it does alter what u think. HOw can one say u learn life lessons but then not realize that it is because life lessons that people become unmotivated. the unmotivation comes from the feeling that u are wasting ur time. no one is motivated to waste their time.

I neve plan on quitting weed, because why plan things out when u can just go with the flow. u seem to want to quit korrupt. U seem to be able to last without weed as can I. ask urself if ur still having fun. I doubt u will go back to what u were. some animals just can't survive out of the cage. that is the problem with society. it is a cage and now u have escaped. U know what is out there and u can not ever go back.

dude ur fucking fine. I felt awkward with my family at Thanksgiving to. u are growing as am I. depression is normal. No need to medicate. Life is life. don't look at the way others live and set that as ur rule. live the way u live. don't question who u are, cause u can't change who u are. who u are is made up of experiences. weed is an experience. weed will alter who u are if it shows u the light.

Just remember u are looking at urself from a strange and deranged perspective, u are normal.

im also trying to stop for a couple months or so in hopes of feeling less depressed or whatever. my question is what if i toked hard for a couple days say on this ski trip i got comin up will those 2 days make what im trying to do a complete waste of time? or should i just not blaze for those couple days?

I've quit several times through the years and in my expierience its about 1-2 weeks to clear your head up. Its refreshing. Witholding stuff from yourself is good for the brain...toughens it up.

[wingedson]

I agree with Islandborn, and those who have recommended taking a break just to experience the difference and get a new sense of self. Everything goes in cycles, including depression. At 16 ( I am now 27 ), I was fed up with school, controlling parents, and society. I wore black all the time, I was into getting as fucked up as I could all the time. I quit doing anything drug related for 4 years, and it was great. Now, smoking is a luxury, and not a necessity. Your depression will pass. Remember who you are. Not your name, not your personal history. Remember who you are. You are more than your experiences, and more than your addictions, thoughts, desires, and feelings. You will do what you want. That is the ultimate direction for everyone. Take some time, find out what you really want. What do you get from marijuana? What do you get from depression? After that, what do you want. Don't accept the apathetic voice of the ego when it says nothing, or I don't know. You want, or you wouldn't be here. Wanting is a necessity of the will. When the will becomes railroaded through addiction to substances, thoughts, or people it can no longer sustain a feeling of peace unless the addictions are present. That is what must be changed, not the external input you are feeding yourself. And please, do not take any anti depression meds unless you are in dire need. They will alter you much more than marijuana ever could. Peace and Love.

Never had any problem quitting smoking when I needed to, it's all a state of mind..of course I'd say being addicted to tobacco like a crackhead to crack..marijuana is less addictive than coffee to me, and I had no problem quitting coffee, just the simple desire to go pick one up on the way to work..wasn't that hard to not do..I wish cigarettes were as "addictive" as marijuana..but that's why cigarettes are in fact legal..it's nearly a guarantee that smokers will return the next day to buy yet another pack..with marijuana they cannot ensure a steady flow of users/buyers

[budhungry]

All i have to say is marijuana is not addictive.. i crave cones.. but if i have a ciggie magically it goes away.. think about it. Why may that reason be?? Do you spin your weed with tobacco? Theres your answer if you feel addicted.

Ive been smoking weed at least 3 to 4 times a week for the past year and a half or so, and for some long periods it was once or twice a day, and ive noticed that ive been alot more anxious and depressed than usual. Im much more quiet and reserved than i ever was, and everything such as school, work, sports, ect. all seems pointless to me now. I am also a teenage male and ive heard that we have a higher risk of developing anti-motovational syndrome (or what ever it is called), if thats even a real disorder. I havnt smoked weed in a week and so far i dont feel much different. So basically im asking if stopping the weed can help me with these problems ive been noticing, and if so how long woudl it take to notice a difference? Ive always been somewhat anxious but it seems much mroe pronounced than usual. Like this thanksgiving i was anxious around my own relatives and the noticed that i was much more quiet ( i smoked a gram of dank the night before). So please, if you haev any advice i would greatly appreciate it.

after many years of scientific devotion to the study of cannabis, years of college education and consulting with medical experts around the world you would most likely in my expert opinion not feel...high
