Congrats on your full week of sobriety.
All I was saying was that after smoking for quite some time, I feel surprisingly different even though it's only been one week, not because it's been a whole week.
Yeah
Not being stoned is different than being stoned. With the quality of today's weed no one should burn an 8th a week.
Why not? Can you give me even a single convincing reason?

I agree. People smoke fat bowls of strong shit all day every day and wonder why they can't function normally.

It's funny how the same people preaching that cannabis used just like one would enjoy beer after a long day is fine are the same people smoking all day everyday someone who does that Is called an alchoholic and is an addict.

hehe, look mate im sorry if I came across like a dick before. I shouldn't have called you spineless. It was your use of language that frustrated me thats all. Mainly because I see this sorta thing all the time, and quite frankly it does injustice to the plant. I would see it the same way if some person who was lactose intollerant was bitching about milk, trying to get people to stop.

If thats the case then fair enough mate. I don't doubt it exists, just like chocolate or cheeseburger addiction. Or gambling or video game addiction. It just sounded like you were making a few broad assumptions and stating them as fact.

"marijuana didn't benefit me recreationally so it can't benefit anyone else"
Marijuana has not negatively impacted any family/friend relationships I have. In fact, over the past year my relationship with my family has gotten stronger and more open.
You can smoke every day without being high 24/7, did you know that? So even if you're couch locked for 4 hours you still have 12 hours to do school/work/social life while getting 8 hours of sleep.
And I don't know of anyone who says marijuana is not a drug, isn't a drug any substance that you add to your body? Just because something is a drug doesn't automatically make it evil. Advil, vitamins, cough syrup are drugs too, should we ban pharmacies?
Some people can get a long just fine smoking everyday, it's okay that you can't but you don't represent anyone but yourself.

I'm not trying to get people to stop, than you for adding on this conversation how ever I was blind in the sense that I couldn't see what I was doing to my family and relationships. I think a nice sativa low with moderate thc used to relax and inspire can be beneficial.

I quit smoking weed about 5 months ago after an addiction of 18 years! I'm so happy i dont do that shit anymore. I was as addicted to my herb as a crack junkie to his pipe. Very few days that i did not smoke at least one joint in all those years. The amounth of money i spend on it was rediculous and makes me feel so stupid looking back. I wake up a lot fresher now and i dont cough all the time anymore. I'm not against weed, i think it should be legalized since its a very usefull plant. But i'm 33 now and i spend most of my life stoned and i wish i never touched it. I cant be a recreational user with me it's every day or never. I quit cold turkey after many failed attempts wich never lasted more than a few days. The urge is now finaly gone, i dont miss it anymore. From now on its only psychedelics they give me so much more than weed and they are impossible to get addicted to. At least on a daily basis. Also the last few years weed made me heart race and would ofton give me paranoid thoughts. To me weed is waymore mindfucking than lsd or mushrooms. Maybe its because the weed got stronger each year and with all the crap they put in it nowadays or maybe my body just had enough i dont know. Anyway to each his own but to me smoking weed is the devil and almost as dangerous as alcohol. I am however interrested in weed oil for health benefits, that would be the only type of canabis that i'm willing to put in my body.

I have quit recently too, but only because it has been making me tired. The opinion that pot makes you lazy and unmotivated is pretty much true. Not for everyone though, as drugs are different for each person. I was always told that drugs are for those who can handle reality. Don't take drugs as a way to feel better or to fix any emotional issues (they make it MUCH WORSE).

1) it's a typo, big fucking deal- I watch sports all the time- I know it's undefeated. You're stupid not to have realized that
2) pretending to be a weed addict is gay as shit weed isn't addictive if you want to stories about your hipster drug addicted past start shooting up

In fairness I didn't even stop to think that "u" is beside "i" so I'll take the tongue lashing. But really? I'm stupid for thinking somebody might be stupid? ha ha ha

If you were a psychiatrist with 25 years + experience I would probably consider this opinion. And still I would only just consider it.
But for now I will just ignore it because it is an awful conjecture.
Klonopin taken in small doses (2mg twice a day) has helped me make it through school, something that I have always wanted but could not manage to do due to a social phobia. Furthermore studying psychology has educated me about drug treatments for mental illnesses. I am no doctor but I have a much better understanding about drugs than I did before.
For instance, in order to avoid building a tolerance to the drug and having to increase my dose I instead assign certain days, weeks, or even months for withdraw. This has allowed me to take the medication without a growing tolerance.
My father has also taken Klonopin since he was a young man (most of his life). He told me that he was unable to function very well before using the drug. And that after he started taking it he was able to place himself in social situations that were once terrifying to him. In result he became a manager for the Department of Environmental Protection and managed 90-100 workers. He is now in retirement with a Mercedes Benz and a nice house. He is a happy person on most days and was recently remarried.

I used to smoke all day everyday without issue, but did enjoy the occasional break to decrease tolerance. I even missed zero questions on the SAT while baked as fuck in High School. Now I enjoy a few small tokes after work before bed sometimes.
I've seen people I grew up with get nowhere in life and it was not the weed that caused it. The 5-10% sounds about like the percentage of stoners I know who like to put the blame on everyone but themselves (mental dependency does not ruin a life unless you choose to let it) If you don't want to smoke that is fine, but it is a conscious and willful decision you are making when you do.
I think part of the problem is some people's expectations of how pot should affect them. Here in the states most people view pot as an appetite stimulant (see munchies). In Jamaica they view pot as an appetite suppressant. If you think pot will make you a lazy do nothing, then you might just become one. I think a small amount is great before a workout.

Sounds a bit like you are attacking cannabis. Maybe if you had phrased it as, "If my situation reminds you of your own, perhaps you should take a break to see if your life improves like mine did".
Things that can cause mental dependence like food, sex, or pot are vital parts of peoples lives. Some people can put the fork down, and some people can't. I used to be somewhat overweight as a child, but got fit in high school after I started smoking pot daily. Just because I lost weight doesn't mean I never eat chocolate. Moderation is key, as with anything.

Well said mate, thats exactly where I was coming from. I just get tired of people blaming their problems on a plant, or drugs alltogether tbh. As if it ground itself up, rolled itself into a joint, set itself on fire and forced the smoke down the 'victims' lungs. These same people probably kick trees and fences in frustration then blame those objects. "Lousy tree hurt my foot!" No mate, you kicked the tree and now you feel pain, stupid. Never able to take the blame for their own actions. Its pretty pathetic if you ask me.
