I must say, it is somewhat pleasant to see how many other shroomerites are quitting their daily cannabis habit as well.
It's ironic how much easier it is to go through with something when you find a population whose experience conforms with your own.
Oh the woes of being social creatures.

I respect you, so it will be fun quitting with you man.
"Intelligence mocks our cravings", that is unique.
I'm going to blaze an 8th of weed tonight and eat some mushrooms. Then I am off the stuff for good

What are you gonna do with all that money you make if you don't spend any time developing hobbies and other interests, or even just making friends to go out and spend it with?
I am going to buy drugs and pay hookers to suck my junk. And yes I will be happy chilling in the lab. Its what I do best and what I enjoy the most.

Some kind of a physical activity. Get really tired and feel those endorphins. I took a trip to the story which is freakin far away from here and got exhausted as shit carrying 6 bags of groceries up the hills. Made me feel so nice afterwards.

i just did the same mundane stuff i did while stoned. i had somehow deluded myself into believing i wouldn't be able to enjoy things like movies without being high. looking back i found that the opposite to be true. i used to watch a movie and the next day i could barely remember it, much got lost in a cloudy head fog. now i watch a movie i can recall it so much better, even very minute details like certain set designs. you're probably just in a transitional phase, give it more time. if your like me you will eventually find so much more enjoyment in your daily activities and interactions.
i clearly remember the second night i quit, i had an elaborate detailed dream marathon. i hadn't recalled a dream for several months prior while i smoking.

I never really understood people who have a hard time quitting weed.
Its the substance I can quit pretty much anytime without notice.
I can't possibly be the only one that can't get addicted to weed, am I?

Its mildly addictive. If I have weed I'll smoke it, if I don't have any well fuck it I'm perfectly ok this way.

I wouldn’t say i am addicted, I mean I have been on vacation for the past two weeks and haven’t been able to smoke and since I don’t have weed on me, I don’t think much about it. But as soon as I get home, where I have weed waiting for me, I won’t be able to stop smoking that shit

I couldn't imagine quitting smoking. I'm a comfortable toker and I haven't entertained the thought of a "last smoke." No reason for me to quit anytime soon. The benefits are just too Damn good.

If I ever embrace reality, that'll be the end of me.

Your life's potential wont unfold without you playing an active part.
I'm not trying to be a debbie downer here, but don't live your life looking to the future as though it is full of greener grass.
There is no future! Live in the present moment, and live it to it's fullest potential.

That's some good advice man, I'm trying to work on actively making things better rather than just hoping they will be

For sure! You'll see the difference soon enough 
Speaking of quitting weed, I had some super intense dreams last night.
The first dream was basically a zombie apocalypse scenario. It was pretty crazy.
I forgot the second dream, but the third dream was....well fuck, it seems like I've forgotten that one too.
I need to start keeping a dream journal and practicing dream recall.

I feel so much better not smoking for a couple of weeks now. My mind is sharper than ever and I don't cough tar.

I just remembered the third dream!
I was working in a kitchen at some place similar to Dave n' Busters. My immediate manager was pretty cool, but the owner was a total dick, and he ironically looked a lot like the wrestler "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
I was on dish duty cleaning pots when the owner came back to the kitchen area.
He picked up a giant soup pot, looked at it and then told me that I was doing a horrible job, and that I basically sucked at what I did.
I got really pissed, so I quit and told him to go fuck himself while giving him the finger.
He looked pretty shocked at my reaction, but didn't say much of anything.
As I was walking out, I saw my immediate manager and stopped to tell him that he was a cool guy, and I appreciated him helping me out.
That was a pretty cool dream actually. Felt good, considering I've had several bosses that were total dicks.

I used to smoke every day for about 10 years. I quit a few years ago for 1 year and now I'm an occasional smoker (2-3 times a month). I feel a lot sharper mentally, can communicate more clearly and dont feel tired and boggy all the time. My dream life HAS improved dramatically. And now when I DO smoke it's a lot more rewarding.. like a present to myself for a job well done. I guess some people can smoke every day and be fine, but I'm also not one of those people. When I smoked every day it was hard to stay motivated to do much except look forward to getting high again.
On the other hand though, although I do feel mentally sharper, and more clear at communicating, I do experience droughts of the mystical mindset that smoking provides. I feel more down to Earth, but gravity can be a bitch sometimes. As far as communication, I miss being able to just ramble about philosophical musings and ideas without a filter and just let my mind go.
But like I said, it is rewarding to feel healthier and I do still smoke occasionally so when I feel like I need to get my head in the clouds every once in a while it's okay to toke and it the experiences are much richer than when it's something you do every single day.
To all that want to quit.. just do it.. see how you feel. In a while if you feel like you can toke every once in a while and be okay with it that's awesome because you get to have those experiences but not feel like poo all the time.
