Weed pretty much forces meditation on me daily which alone makes it worth smoking. It needs to be cheaper tho.

Excellent list! That's pretty much my exact pros and cons. Might want to throw memory in there too.

Other people have described me as observative; not sure why you're asking me this, but I think it has something to do with the fact that he's from Britain...

For me it became more of a pain then it was worth. Even when it was really easy to find and always great stuff I would be spending way to much cash on it, always getting stoned and just sitting around. I always liked to get really really really high, so I would - then it would take more and more and I could not get quite that high, so I started adding mushrooms into the mix and so it goes...
But I am weak weak weak when it comes to controlling drug use

My problem with stopping is that I get these random cravings. I just can't deal with them and normally I won't be able to satisfy them so overall it 
Like if I see a well rolled joint or a video of people smoking and enjoying themselves I get this insurmountable urge to take a big puff and get baked as fuck.

Get a vape!
After you throw down the initial $100-200, which is how much a real stoner may smoke on a particularly baked weekend, you can get high off of less than a dollar of weed. And you can get a portable one like the . Just do it! Everyone should, and no one does!

or you could just man up and quit, without involving any fancy lasers or light shows.
i mean i could MAYBE understand the above treatment for nicotine/cigs, but for weed?
even with cigs just get the gum, and once again MAN UP and quit. having done both (quitting weed and cigs) i can say it'll be a shitload cheaper than going and paying hundreds of dollars to have magical lasers beamed into your head/body.
