Smoking twice a week should be the most anybody does it if you ask me...Withdraw symtoms can suck...
Every 7-10 days is more like it

I dont agree with that. I smoke weed 8-10 times a day. I havnt had any weed in the past two days, however. Guess what? When I smoke, I get stoned everytime. No headaches, no withdraw symptoms, no nausea, plenty of appetite, nothing of the sort. I bust my ass for eight hours a day at work, weed or no, I get to sleep pretty much at the same time everynight.

I've noticed exercise does really help with the with draw symtoms...most likly removes THC faster...
But some people just don't get withdraws....
So get horrible ones...

I have people who demonize drugs JUST BECAUSE they have the potential to cause addiction. You can get addicted to anything that brings you joy (food, sex, shopping, exercise, etc.) but yet I see no TV commercial propoganda telling you not to eat food because it will make you a lazy piece of shit glued to the couch all day. DON'T YOU FUCKING HATE THOSE COMMERCIALS!? FUCKING SENSELESS PROPOGANDA! Anways, I'm rambling...
I feel bad for those of you who have intense withdrawl symptoms. I smoke at least once or twice everyday when I have weed, and when I run out, I get withdrawl symptoms but they are barely noticeable. I am just easily bored, have reduced pleasure, and have a strong desire to smoke pot .

Here's what happens to me...and some other people
(Note...Much of it is self induced...Due to the anxiety the withdraws cause...Many of the withdraws from pot are the same as the symtoms of anxiety)
Insomnia Intense anxiety Depression Lack of appiete Nausea
If anybody is really stuggling with my favorite drug in the world (cannabis) PM me...I have many tips which can really really help...

I just smoked pot today after going months without it. I don't think it's a problem for me.

Been there. It really is a crutch; it can be a big-time addiction. I used to feel absolutely rotten and not get any sleep without it. Of course, I often felt pretty depressed while I was high, too.
Set, setting, and dose, just like anything else.
Silversoul, how was your first high after a while? I usually find those ones the best.

My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

It was alright, but I think I've realized that I really don't need it anymore. I can get the same feeling from meditation and deep breathing, without the lethargic feeling.

That's essentially my stance on it. Sometimes it's a good reminder.

Thank god I don't get withdrawal symptoms from weed otherwise it would suck. When I have it I will smoke everyday however have no problem stopping even after months of everyday smoking. I do strangely remember my dreams though and they're usually weird after recently quiting. Anyone know the cause of this? It seems to be a commonality among people who smoke everyday than stop.

I smoke alot. Pretty much all day almost everyday. Especially in my long periods of time where I don't have to work.
No doubt its had an effect on my motivation (at least to get a fucking job or other unpleasant ventures), but it also forces me to be able to deal with all types of reality whilst high and adjust.
When I quit to pass a drug test, which happens occasionally withdrawls are minimum. A few days of inevitable crankiness, boring moments of days are unbearable for a while, and food no longer tastes good. Once you stop thinking about it all the time it gets way easier.
In defense of smoking all the time and being able to quit if one had a really good reason to.
I've only been smoking this way for 4-5 years tho, and everyone's different.
