I'm already considering quitting weed, at least for a while. It's not that I don't enjoy it, or that I'm afraid of getting addicted or suffering from long-term damage. It's just that I don't seem to be getting any psychic or spiritual benefits out of it anymore. I've already quit using ecstacy for precisely this reason(also, I no longer feel it's worth the risk of brain damage). Mushrooms, on the other hand, continue to provide me with spiritual insight, so I will continue taking them as long as they continue to do so. Once it becomes just another drug to get fucked up on, I'll consider quitting.

for a long time I really fucked up my body/mind/soul indiscriminately. when I came to, I though that I'd have to quit using anything, that I had to live completely "clean" to purify myself.
well, that's bullshit, there's just a happy balance that I had to find, that many of my contemporaries found before I did: moderation.

Maybe I would stop taking drugs when I don't feel a million bullshit influences trying to pry their way into my brain. my politically brain-washed elders, an orgy of blinding advertisements, etc. etc. etc.

I've decided to stop taking drugs for awhile at least. This is because my highs have gotten differant, kinda paranoid in a way too. I just dont find it to be fun anymore. I will still drink once in awhile though

I stop taking drugs every once in a while, when i feel like i should. I may never stop, and i may quit tomorrow, i have no clue. I will not stop because of laws, or what people think, or what anyone says. The only reason i will stop is because i want to.
However i do believe that moderation is key, and 'drugs' is pretty broad. I will probably use drugs till the day I die, atleast thats what most the world does, and i am probably no diffrent. drugs are everywhere, most people just think of the illegal ones when they say it. There are also alot of illegal ones, so putting them all into 1 category aint fair either. I will stop some a long time before i stop others.

Well I guess death, But if I can I am planning to have my last trp just before I die say about 0.5g of mescaline. This should do me a great send of into an other reailty. But if i end up returning (re-encarnation) I will still probably take some psychedelics.
But recently I have had to quit smokeing pot simply because I want to pass my course at Uni and pot is makeing it way to difficult, cos I cant remember anything for revision and exams and I am becomeing way to lazy for all that cousre work not forgettign how difficult it is beign high all the time. So far I am doing fine its my 10 week without smokeing anything.

I dont use drugs much at all, and don't consider entheogens drugs, cause I don't take them just to get high. If I ever do anything other than hallucinogens I do it in moderation, like 1 joint and I'm good, don't want no more.
After a bad trip I wonder why I don't just stop taking them in the first place, and I always end up with the same answer. If I didn't do entheogens I would feel like I am ignoring many wonderful plants who are willing to show and teach me amazing things, and I can't pass up such an important opportunity.

It's definitely good to get away from drugs for a while -- if only for the return later.

Since putting foreign chems into one's body isn't healthy, I assume you're ready to give up eating, drinking, and breathing any time now?

I've already kinda stopped taking drugs
I dont really smoke herb that much nowadays because im not gaining anything out of it anymore. It isnt about getting a new and unique state of consciousness anymore...i've spent years in that state of mind so its very familiar...i'm not gaining anything anymore. It's still good for a social activity sometimes though.
A lot of drugs i had tried just to have a new experience. I really didnt gain anything from drugs like coke or heroin. Plus they had a lot of negative effects, and i had bad encounters with cops the rare times i used either...so i stopped those
So basically, i'd stop using drugs if they dont seem to be worth the risk of getting caught, and if I am not gaining anything new from them.
I always gain new things from tripping though...so i dont see myself stoppign that. I'll probably keep doing that unless i end up having a horrible traumatic experience.
