Last Dance with Mary Jane

Hey yall,
So I've been smoking weed since I was 16 or 17 years old. I've been going steady at a pretty high level for about 2 years. But I think its time to put down my old friend.
Weed is amazing. It really is. It cures my hangover, helps me think of creative ideas, improves my guitar playing, etc. Plus I love being high. But munchies aren't fun. Neither is demotivation, mental addiction, and a constant cough.
When I was 18, I was in the best shape. I was fit, could do anything athletic, and had a positive outlook on life. Now, only after a dozen or two months, I find it hard to maintain physical shape with my smoking habits. I'm not fat at all, but I just could be so much more.
Anybody wanna try quitting with me? Trust me, it'll be hard for a week or two, and then there shall be clarity!

I quit a few months ago and I'm very glad that I did. I rarely want to smoke it but when I do I really desire it. I just can't stand the unmotivated, lazy gluttonous thing I become on most strains. PS. Go check out my threads in the music part of the shroomery. I'm a new guitarist.
Anyways, I miss cannabis but it gave me bad anxiety so it was easy to quit. Ill smoke again one day but it'll never be a habit again, maybe a rare occurrence or possibly an occasional fling. Never a everyday thing again, fuck that. I gained twenty pounds in muscle, lost my cough, more confident and outgoing, all this good shit thanks to giving it up.
Good luck, bro.

Some people can do that I sometimes wish I could but fuck it, sobriety ain't half bad, it gives you options. Like when to do other drugs, haha.

I think confidence is another point that I forgot to touch on...it's so true that cannabis can sometimes make me shy and non-sociable. Thanks for the vibes!

I know how you feel man, but how about you take a different approach to your smoking habits...
I've smoked for the past few years myself. I've been pretty high. :P Sometimes my "habit" gets a bit out of hand, but other than that it doesn't usually affect my daily life too much. I still do my normal stuff, I just have a different perspective while doing it. Or time goes by faster/slower etc...
I was thinking about quitting but then I decided something else. Instead of smoking all the time, limit yourself. Like for me, I limited myself to only smoking once a day. I take care of all my responsibilities, and then take 5-HTP (helps for the production of seratonin) a couple hours prior to smoking at night. I read somewhere that it increases a marijuana high and produces more vivid dreams - IME, both are fucking true. I only need to smoke 1/2-1 bowl (on my pipe) to get as high as 2-3 bowls. It works out amazingly. Sometimes I'll meditate or make some music, or mess around with photoshop...
I've also started running again with a friend. I love smoking, the only reason I'd quit is for a drug test. Otherwise, why not? Everyone has their own little activities they do to make them feel at peace, or relaxed. Whether it be hobbies, beer, meditation...
But that's just how I feel

I get social anxiety when I'm not high enough. :P
When I get past that threshold, I just adopt more of a "fuck it" attitude and I don't mind too much what other people might think. If I'm just a little high, I tend to be a little more introspective and quiet.
I don't know, it's sort of hard to explain actually. There's just too many variables to my social anxiety lol

Smoking no more than once a day was the best decision I ever made regarding Cannabis, besides deciding to exclusively vape. I haven't used Cannabis in several weeks and I didn't even realize it. I have been using Cannabis for years and at one point was able to tank several brownies made with oil that was extracted from half a pound of trim. Moderation should be a golden rule because moderation with anything is important. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing and it's called drowning.
-------------------- Love.

I have been smoking weed pretty much every single day for the past 4 years. I only smoke at night or when I'm at home pretty much.. I avoid smoking before I go out into public or when I'm out in public because it just makes me kind of awkward and shy. I tend to get social anxiety when I'm stoned around lots of people/people I don't know. It never used to be that way for me. When I first started smoking weed I could be in public around anybody and it made me even more sociable if anything...but now it does the opposite. I wonder why that changed..I actually think it makes me more motivated to do stuff though. I love cleaning when I'm stoned.
Good luck with quitting, hope you find clarity and get your motivation back.

Sometimes weed helps it, sometimes it causes it. Strange cycle.
Thanks for all the support. Although I think some people can monitor their smoking, I'm kind of an "all or nothing" guy. It's bad for sure, but it's true. Even if I keep smoking as a rare occurrence, it'll make its way to a bad habit over time.

I am quitting edibles, no more EDIBLES.
I really don't like edibles, had some the other night... I didn't feel good high, just tired lethargic and couldn't focus on anything.
I want to quit drinking, my last shroom trip was a fucking introspective one that really made me consider how bad alcohol consumption is for me. It's such a social thing though it's fucking hard to give up

You have to be self-motivating because weed will (naturally) take it away if you aren't careful. I love what it does for my headaches and to relax me enough that I can go to sleep. Awesome!

This is another totally viable option. Might be hard for me to stop though once I'm in deep lol...
