I'm in the same boat with Mush4 and Kamoops, I unfortunately wasted years and years of my life to smoking pot on a daily basis; I spent a ton of money and wasted a lot of time lounging around and doing nothing due to the high it produces for me. I find that I have a major lack of motivation, my thoughts may be a bit deeper but it tends to turn me into an anti-social being. I think to each his own, but for myself I found that mediation and other mind clearing practices were more beneficial for me while not taking away from my quality of life.

Have you tried regular exercise and weight training?

Sounds like it'd help with the problems you're experiencing when not smoking.




I did at one point about 5-6 years ago, but I was only able to do that after weeks of heavy iv antibiotics/steroids (the kind that kill off infections, not the illegal kind used in weight training), but after about a months worth of lifting weights and gaining about 20 lbs, my health slowly got worse again like it always does. The antibiotics only work for a little while. My health is deteriorating quite quickly due to medical issues that I've had my entire life. My body and organs just don't have the strength for the necassary energy output needed for exercise or weight training, and as each year goes by I'm able to do less and less.

Trust me, I would love to be able to get back into the sports that I used to do when I was younger, but I can't even walk around the grocery store to do shopping without getting tired.

I'm an old man in a young mans body.  :oldman:  :shrug:

If u-er going to smoke weed, do not, I repeat Do NoT smoke it every day (if u-er using it for mental stimulation).. if u-er smoking it to sleep or some other reason then of course once a week iz not feasible.. But I've heard many people talk about it and know from personal experience that it looses it's magic when smoked all day evryday - nom say'n!

I have read several studies that actually state that smoking marijuana before bed causes a major decrease in REM sleep if not causes it to cease to exisist. This was proven true for me and my personal experiences as my dream state for years was greatly reduced.

@kettleballz: I agree that smoking too often create a loss in "zest" in the effects of marijuana, everyday just kills it's vibe.

My dreams have been a lot more vivid over the past few days, so what you said about REM sleep sounds about right. I haven't been waking up during the night either, just a nice long undisturbed sleep.  :drooling:

Reasons to quit weed:

*More energy
*Clearer head
*More stable dopamine levels leading to all round better mood stability
*Increased confidence
*Increased ego
*Clearer lungs
*More oxygen supply to body's cells increasing both aerobic and anaerobic capacity and improving bodily functions
*Healthier heart/blood pressure levels
*More stable hormone levels
*Easier to maintain a healthy diet
*Save money
*More time to do more important things in life
*Less risk of legal problems
*Not supporting criminal organisations
*Not ending up with that "pot head look" that becomes quite obvious after some time.


I smoked weed nearly every day for over 11 years and quitting it was one of the best things I've ever done. IMO weed is shit, a waste of life and money that will prevent you from reaching your full potential. Doesn't have any benefits apart from relieving boredom and providing instant gratification to your brain's reward system. Its "potentially" a highly addictive drug which often does more harm than good. Maybe if you've got a terminal illness or something, weed can be a great way to pass the days and relieve certain symptoms, but in many cases, opiates are far superior lol. But if you are a healthy person with plenty to live for, its a waste and its gonna hold you back.

Now not saying I didn't have my good times with weed and for those people that may just have a puff or two at a party or something, there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. But when it begins to become a habit and becomes a part of your identity and lifestyle, can that really be helping you in any way?

Don't get me wrong, not trying to judge as I have many close friends who still smoke weed and if that's what floats your boat, then its your life so go for it. I don't think I'm better than anyone else, just trying to point out the simple fact that weed DOES carry multiple health risks, has a reputation for ruining some people's lives and supports organized crime. It doesn't fuck everyone up but it does fuck up a lot of people.

But in the end you gotta ask yourself... Why? If you have your own reasons, then fair enough I respect that. But in reality, you're getting totally fixated on a silly little bit of plant matter IMO...



You know, you don't have to smoke weed EVERYDAY.

But, OP you should take a break and save the money you spend on weed and put it towards a nice vape!

I know the vape thing sounds pretty damn good, but for me I spent about $600 on a brand new digital volcano. I used the thing about 30 times for one month, missed the "smoke" part of smoking and stopped using it; ended up buying a new bong. IMO you should definitely try a vape out for a while, possibly borrow or rent one from a friend before cashing out on one. Obviously just my experience though, I know a lot of people that enjoy them a lot.

@TheEnd: did you stop burning at night or for a couple days or something? Interesting about your dreams, I figured what I had read in those studies was true but it encourages me to believe there is more to the method my madness. I pretty much stopped smoking for that very reason; after that came all the benefits.

Well I was out of town for a few days earlier in the week, and I didn't smoke during those days. So when I got back home I was feeling the benefits of those smoke-free days, so I decided to keep going instead of "Yeah I'll quit smoking for awhile and take a break...right after I smoke this bowl:bongload:". Cause I knew that that would just flush my motivation down the toilet and then I probably wouldn't take a break. :smirk:

Kids are a good reason to stop.  I used to love to toke up, and I smoked way too much on a daily basis.  But having kids made me stop.  No CPS whore is taking them away from me.

Sometimes i feel like weed maybe makes me more psychotic or something.  Not the worst reason to stop either. :tongue:

That's great man, so how long do you think you are going to be away from it for? I just found for me life was so much more blissful, colors were brighter, and the world seemed to be a better place when I wasn't smoking. After years of everyday smoking it just seemed to dull me out a lot. Thanks for sharing your experience though!

Not too long, I vaped a bowl last night. :lol:    :volcano:

But my lungs feel a little worse today even just from vaping, so I'm not going to get back into the routine of smoking everyday again.

Yesterday was a good day and I enjoyed the feeling of a weeks worth of sobriety, I actually got out and did some things around the yard that I had been meaning to do for awhile. I figured I would end the day with a bowl as somewhat of a tester, see how I felt about it after not smoking for a week, and although I enjoyed it, I think my body and mind will thank me in the long run if I continue to not smoke for awhile.

I just noc'd up some jars for a mini monotub grow though, so I've got a new project to work on soon, and a trip is on the horizon.  :Awemush:

Hey to each his own, I think it's cool that you actually vaped one and noticed you still needed some time, much respect for that and not just being ignorant to the good feeling that mary always seems to bring.

Quitting is going "okay" for me. Too bad it's not by choice.

Seriously, I don't see a point.

Vape, grow your own, use in moderation. WIN

So the man stuck it to yah eh? I would agree, if Mary didn't make me so lazy and clouded I would totally agree. I think she effects everyone differently, for me it's just better to keep her as an ex-lady :frown:

i think weed is the most over rated drug there is. i recently quit smoking everyday all day and shits been much better, it doesn't fit my personality at all it took a while for me to finally realize this but i'm glad i did because life's been a lot better. I haven't quit completely, like ill still smoke at a party on the weekends or something but i am done smoking alone during the day i swear shit was making me go insane. and keeping it to the weekends makes it way better, the high is so much better and enjoyable.
