Marijuana Addiction? pssht

I smoked weed every single day for at least 7 years straight. I was put on probation and was stressing out about having to quit smoking. But damn it was much easier than i expected to stop.
First two or three days, out of habit, i would finish doing something such as eating a meal, then my mind would trigger that its time to smoke. Seconds after that thought id be like "ohhh yeah i had to quit lol".
Whats weird is that even after quitting, i still havent had any dreams. Which is odd because while i was still smoking if i didnt smoke a few hrs before bed id usually have strong dreams. But afyer quitting ive had no dreams. Maybe its the kratom?

Point is, i was the biggest pothead possible for at least 7yrs. And marijuana was one of my favorite things and i still love it. But quitting was too easy.
Cant wait to smoke again in 18 months though. I hope it will become as psychedelic as it was for me when i first started. I remember when i first started smoking, id go outside and think i was hearing music but it was just birds chirping.

I smoke all day every day, and still have recurring nightmares that have troubled me since before I ever began smoking.
I wish the not-dreaming aspect impacted me.

For some people pot addiction is legit. A buddy of mine literally can not function with out it & becomes a grouchy, lazy, unpleasent person when he is dry for more than 2 days. Feel bad for the guy, I don't have an addictive personality so when I got put on probation quitting was a breeze

I won't lie. I need to smoke pot if I am sitting around my house doing nothing or hanging with people that are drinking and smoking. I don't smoke I become an asshole. Period.
But if I am hanging with people or traveling and camping and doing active stuff I don't need it like I would if I was not doing anything. I just don't need or want to smoke when I am being active.
I don't know about anyone else but that is just me.

I've heard that everyone has some sort of dreams as long as they go through all the stages of sleep, it might just be that you're sleeping well enough that you don't remember them, because I think you've got to become at least semi-conscious in order to commit dreams to memory.

I used to smoke an average of a half oz a week (I wasn't buying it). I did that for about 10 years without a problem. It definitely lead to some major depression and lack of motivation. Finally, some things were shaken up and forcibly changed in my life causing me to take a break from getting high. I had some really bad insomnia and depression during that initial period but my sleep schedule quickly adjusted and my mood generally improved.
I didn't smoke for 2 months and started smoking again (this was about 6 months ago) a few puffs every night. The general depression and discontent in life seem to lift without any real negative "side effects" like memory impairment. I still dream regularly now but not when I was smoking heavy.
I guess moral of my story is moderation even with weed.

a year ago I smoked 5-6 times a day, like 2-3grams a day, for about a year. quit 'cold turkey' and didn't skip a beat - sucks it affects some people worse. i can't smoke any more though, have tried 3-4 times and get body-shakes and panic attacks - good herb is telling me my time is done for now

yeah at my 'worst' i would just hit dabs all night not even keeping track. i developed sky high tolerences real quick. even one hit now makes me feel like i'm gonna die so I have no interest anymore i can't imagine what a psychedelic might do. last time I hit i just got up and walked around a lot saying "nope, nope, nope" - no more chemicals for me besides beer and caffeine

I don't do dabs anymore. When I was smoking like a champ, I would go through at least a 1.5 gs per week in addition to actual herb. It's overkill and not the most ideal substance for the mind.
Argh, I sound like such a prude.
