Long break from cannabis
#22386153 - 10/15/15 10:40 PM (8 years, 3 months ago) |

I ended up going to a medical detox and getting sober.
And while I was there for 5 days it was the longest break from cannabis I have had in the past 10 years.
I just smoked and I am SO HIGH... I haven't been this high since when I first started smoking weed I think and it's super weird and a different experience than my normal high with tolerance. Normally I can smoke all day and I never get very high and now I am like borderline having a panic attack haha.
But anyway, has anyone else taken a long break from weed and had this? I always give people shit that don't smoke weed cause they say they don't how it makes them feel or cause it's too intense but now I know how they feel.
This is rambaling now but I'm gonna post anyway haha
Anyone else super stoned

yeah I took a long break and after that, every time I would smoke (for a little while) I felt like I was on the edge of panic or disaster, but I learned to love that feeling. its exhilarating.

I hadn't smoked in over a year before I got my card. I rolled a whole gram and only got about 1/4-1/3 way through. Holy shit, that la cheese had me literally tripping out in my head for a bit. Medical grade is no joke when you are used to mids. I had smoked almost daily until I recently stopped again for about 3 weeks for a job and took one hit off a blunt last Friday and I was higher than I have been in a long time. After tolerance breaks my heart always beats like crazy and I start to freak out a bit.

haha i just recently went on a 3 week brake, it was the first time in 15years that i even went a day without smoking. i just got fed up one day getting ripped off (never weighing up always a couple grams under) and thought fuck you cunt i would rather not smoke than give this maggot my money. any way long story short i bought some really really good sativa and had 3 bongs straight up and thought i was tripping haha like legitimate tripping as if i ate gram of subs lol not so much visuals although i did get some visuals but the head high was crazy. took a week for my tolerance to get back up and now i was like before, smashing bong after bong after bong haha. think i might get myself some nice bho or some shatter tomorrow see how that goes..
edit; also i found it ridiculously easy to stop smoking not sure how people have a problem with it. guess motivation has something to do with it.

It's simple, I need to get hired in to this huge company( I'm only temp right now but will be an employee soon) so I can support my daughter and a fiance and that comes before my medicating no matter how much pain and depression it causes me. Priorities bro. Plus after the first 3 days it's pretty easy. If you smoke in a group just stop hanging out with them for a little bit, if you smoke alone find other activities.

One time I quit weed because there was a threat of a drug test at my job. I went for 6 months and during that time I started to question why I smoked weed in the first place. I got used to not having it and I started thinking - why blow all that money and make myself stoned all the time? I started to look down on pot smokers. Then I left that job and started smoking weed again. That was 15 years ago.

how humble... addiction is addiction.. it aint the drug - its the person in a certain situation.. im sure rich people out there that do herion few tiems in a blue moon - like u would a psychedelic.. so put that in your crack pipe and smoke it ... pleased for ya
trouble is cannabis enhances creativities..designin art......... music.. but want out of cycle - and be able to relax without it .. ages 14-17 were abused heavily- an overdose on cubensis (blessin in disguise) had brought me back to real core of me again.. - and i kno 3 days is about the bench mark .. now at 30 nearly im an evening smoker - also helps to sleep been that way for about 7 years.. - but no worries.. - trouble is with weed it has no mercy on your tolerance.. not only that smokin it with tobaooco has only made the craving worse - as dont smoke baccy without weed rarely now - otherwise just taste like shit and tightens my lungs. i enjoy a joint.. cant just say na not spendin p on that......... il get there - like u say aint like it herion or anything.. althoush in my mind a problem is a problem wetha be 50 bacon rolls a day or 6 ounces of heroin . ..cheers anyway

I don't think rich people do heroin once in a blue moon bro
And it's not really the same, cannabis has no psychical addiction... It's all in yer head man. Weed never made you wake up in pain and shitting yourself having a panic attack while sweating through your clothes.

Lol right. I quit smoking for about that long one time. It amazes me how much the tolerance will reset after 4-5 days of not smoking. I prefer my weed with tolerance though. I can't even function on weed without a tolerance. Lol, the weed and dabs I get is just way too strong for no tolerance.

I long for the day that I can get incredibly tasting dense buds that is bread for lower THC and higher ratios of cannabinoids. I know it exists, but I don't know anyone growing it or where to get it since I'm not in a medical state.

Yep same thing happens to me. After a long break, only take a hit or 2 at a time and wait. Try to smoke a whole bowl, and I will have anxiety and feel uncomfortablly too high. But seriously, you will get so much more out of smoking if you only use it once a week or less. So much more euphoric and enjoyable (at the right doses). Plus you'll save a bunch of money.
I used to smoke everyday until it was fucking with my sleep and appetite... and also anxiety if I didn't smoke. So I took a break, sucked it up for that first shitty ish week, and I'll never go back to daily dependency on any substance or habit whatsoever. All in moderation for the best effects this plant has to offer IME

Getting high is only half it dude. I use it to treat my headaches, vertigo, nausea and lack of appetite (overactive thyroid), stress, regulates my sleep. It's pretty much an all-in-one for me. In proportion to what other people spend on healthcare and/or mental vices like alcohol, cigs, etc, weed is pretty cheap. I just factor weed into my cost of living and budget around it. Buy it directly from growers an oz or two at a time, it's super cheap.

Ahh i see. Yeah, using it for medicinal purposes makes things different. I used it for anxiety and depression during college especially. And i found that the more I did, the less medicinal effects I received. As in, if I am using everyday, it was best to only take a hit or two at a time to keep my tolerance down, yet remain functional through the stress... The higher my tolerance was, the more I'd have to smoke and the less overall benefits I had. This was just me though. But i assume after your long break, it only took barely any weed to benefit you medicinally. Rather than before, it took a lot more weed and still didn't benefit you as well.

Medicinally, its actually better for me with higher doses of THC. Lower doses with no tolerance just got me super high and due to getting so high, it was hard to consume the amount I needed for the physical symptoms to subside. The only other drug I use to treat my headaches is Tylenol, but most the time cannabis is much more effective, and fast acting. I use Tylenol when I have to just so I don't have to be super high all day, which is why I like my tolerance a bit high.
That said, my tolerance is a bit too high now. Been doing psychedelics about every weekend or every other weekend, so I tend to smoke a shitload of dabs because it's awesome that way. Lol, wrecks the tolerance though. 4-5 days of just not hitting dabs takes care of though. I don't have to quit smoking, lol.

Hmm are you sure it is the THC medicating your headaches? Seems weird if low doses get you too high and don't help with no tolerance. Perhaps you need such a high tolerance to thc that you don't feel the it as much, but get more of the other cannabinoids such as CBD that contribute more relief than thc does? This is all just my speculation of course, but i am quite interested in CBD and it's medicinal values vs thc.

I wish it was like that for me. I smoked daily for over 20y. Only reason I stopped rolling with tobacco was to make it stronger. Started mixing the weed with strong hash to make it burn better and kick harder. Loved it.
18 months ago I quit cold turkey. Long story.
But now I can't go back. My tolerance is gone. It's not the same anymore. I can't reach that place anymore where I smoke 3 to 5 of those pure torpedoes and enjoy. Even the smallest toke sends me just too high now. Can't handle it. I guess this is what it means, getting old.  
But I still need my kicks every now and then...
Paradox: it's not that smoking weed makes you finally seek other drugs. It's the quitting of weed that made me reach out to my new love, MXE. 

Love, Hanz.

Been smoking 1-5 grams every day for 2 months straight, after week tolerance took some cookies (around 3.5g in weed language), I though I was gonna trip like p. much mildly since the weed was p. much weak, but it hit me hard and strong, actually it was kinda OD, slept for 18 hours straight after very intense 3 hours tripping (couldn't be awake for more than 3 hours)

was smoking at least 2g a night (mostly through bong) for a couple years straight without a break until the end of august. I stopped for 50 days and smoked a couple nights ago. Rolled up a gram blunt and expected to get ridiculously high, but i didn't really feel anywhere near the way I expected so I said screw it, I'm taking a bong snap. I was trying to avoid the shotness that comes along with smoking so much and figured the bong would just bring me back to that state a lot quicker.... it did lol. I had really nice CEVs trying to go to bed that night, and I was so high my foot was twitching LOL

Yeah quitting weed is 98% mental. Just get rid of all your herb in your home and don't look back. Kratom is great for mood but don't become dependwnt on that. I just used kratom and it made weed withdrawal unnoticeable for the most part. After a week, I'm pretty much all back to normal. If you are really desperate, ibuprofen pm or valium, etc for sleep or natural remedies such as valerian root. If you have kratom, you shouldn't need anything else, but limit kratom intake to 5-7days to avoid addiction. Avoid coffee and any stimulants. The worse part is feeling apathetic and depressed. Kratom works wonders on this to have motivation again. If you have nothing and plan on taking it head on cold turkey with nothing to combat withdrawals, I find the best thing to do is find a hobby such as lucid dreaming or netflix it up nonstop to distract yourself for those first few days. Perhaps find a replacement substance too such as reishi tea, something healthy you can take when you have cravings. I find tea to be a perfect replacement. Exercise is great, but hard to get in the mindset. It will help you sleep though.
Oh and you know youre retarded high when you start to get the body twitches

I need the weed to combat chronic pain, so it will still be daily for me. I could not have a normal life with my constant pain, and now my life is back. Sure, I do not feel the effects like the first days, but the pain is gone which is what matters. Got the mushies and other´s to trip 
Edit: Turning on my vaporizer 0.25 grams of Blue Cheese (Apparently, my cannabis club won´t be closing, there is a lot of fighting with the laws for regularization here, but during the bumpy times, I managed to find a dealer and got some of what he had for medical, which is the cheese strain, not my favorite taste though, I prefer white widow and strawberrie kush

Heisencybin said: Hmm are you sure it is the THC medicating your headaches? Seems weird if low doses get you too high and don't help with no tolerance. Perhaps you need such a high tolerance to thc that you don't feel the it as much, but get more of the other cannabinoids such as CBD that contribute more relief than thc does? This is all just my speculation of course, but i am quite interested in CBD and it's medicinal values vs thc.
Also... it depends. For chronic pain is best high THC indicas. I am going to get tomorrow a couple extra grams of a CBD Sativa though, and see how that goes. Also, if I manage to vape a lesser THC content for a few days, and then switch back to a high THC content it will move me a few squares back in terms of tolerance. I can feel the difference between strains (been consuming weed for 3 months and a half, morning dose and night dose.)

So thc helps with your pain. When I had sciatica issues, it seemed like I would have a conflicted response to weed. It seemed to help a little with pain, but if I became anxious from smoking (no tolerance or smoke too much), it would actually make me more aware of the pain. I relied mostly on kratom during a flareup and took a break from smoking though. I'd be interested in trying a low thc/high cbd indica specifically for pain. I personally didn't get much relief from a high thc strain, and even had the potential to make it worse/more noticable

I tried to stop like that 100 times, never worked. The addiction really was very deep. Hats off to those who can stop just like that.

If you have nothing and plan on taking it head on cold turkey with nothing to combat withdrawals, I find the best thing to do is find a hobby such as lucid dreaming or netflix it up nonstop to distract yourself for those first few days.
Funny you should say that. When I did cold turkey from weed, I always got guaranteed massive amounts of lucid dreaming for free. No nightmares, just very visual HD lucid dreams. Full control and awareness. And afterwards waking up drenched in sweat. Usually managed 3 or 4 nights, then I was back smoking.

It's rough but it's also like making a promise with yourself no matter how hard it gets. And from there, you grow and realize how easy it actually was in retrospect to quit. My first time quitting for a job, so only a month off, I immersed myself in lucid dreaming and became addicted to that. That's why I say find a good, healthy replacement addiction like tea. Or if you're way too apathetic like my last quit, just watch TV nonstop and pretend like your sick basically.
When I finally made the decision to quit smoking everyday, I used kratom and it made the psychological aspect of withdrawals pretty much nonexistent. From there I realized how many of my physical symptoms were caused by my anxiety indirectly. Now I only smoke maybe 1-2 times a week on the weekend and it's soooooo so so so much better. I much more healthy and happy. Accept that you will feel shitty for a week or so and keep telling yourself that each moment you feel down, is a moment closer to feeling way better than when you smoked daily even. You can do it bro. And to be honest, it's better to quit young rather than 2 decades later when you're even more mentally attached. The longer you do it daily, the more it is just used for maintenance such as sleeping and eating, rather than for fun. At that point, it's meaningless to keep doing daily. So keep in mind that each day you continue toking, will make the mental grasp onto this habit even stronger and harder to let go. Letting go of this daily habit was one of the best decisions I've made as far as personal growth and health goes. Best of luck

I get no dreams at all when I smoke. And by that I mean I don't remember them. Since I have a dream journal, I noticed how I have something like 2 dreams in a month while smoking everyday. I usually have up to 20 a month, minimum 10, but that was long long time ago...

Thanx a lot for the sympathy Heisencybin. To be honest I guess I haven't been very clear. It's all in the past already for me. I did smoke more than 2 decades. And it was very hard quitting. But I've done it, and I think it's for good. The few times I tried to smoke again were not pleasant, just too much headspin and disgust at inhaling all that smoke.
And that's a pity. When I stopped I was looking forward to smoking twice a month and totally spacing out, moreover doing it out of free will instead of habit. Turned out when I stopped my tolerance dropped, and going back for infrequent smokes is not a good experience for me.
Oh well, I guess I'm better off now. And saving some cash too! I'm glad I still like all those other substances, just no longer using daily.
Love, Hanz.

This is not uncommon. I smoked weed daily from around 20 to 35 years old, then gave it up. Not as a strict rule, but just sorta stopped for no particular reason. Now when I do it, I start worrying about work, and finances, and other stuff that make it less enjoyable.
Hey, did you start to remember your dreams when you stopped?

SnowDaze said: I ended up going to a medical detox and getting sober.
And while I was there for 5 days it was the longest break from cannabis I have had in the past 10 years.
I just smoked and I am SO HIGH... I haven't been this high since when I first started smoking weed I think and it's super weird and a different experience than my normal high with tolerance. Normally I can smoke all day and I never get very high and now I am like borderline having a panic attack haha.
But anyway, has anyone else taken a long break from weed and had this? I always give people shit that don't smoke weed cause they say they don't how it makes them feel or cause it's too intense but now I know how they feel.
This is rambaling now but I'm gonna post anyway haha
Anyone else super stoned
    

I never get tolerance so experience this every night. I have no idea what tolerance would be like. Tolerance would be useful for social cannabis use. Fuck I just get so wrecked on social occasions it is a real pain in my ass, as I have too decline to use with people or make a fool of myself.

Smoked for the first time in months recently, I was shivering, stressing about life and slurring my words. Then it wore off and I was hunting out that roach like a fuckin fiend. When I take a sabbatical I tend to hit the liquor and cigs hard for a couple weeks till the cravings go away.

I smoked synthetic weed for a couple years. Shit got me way high. Funny thing is it started to not effect me anymore so I stopped. Went a year without smoking and got a different job where they don't drug test. So I naturally wanted to smoke real weed. Got some dank smoked it and no effect. I even tried smoking hash oil . No effect . Weed can't get me high and thatnsucks. Hence why I'm trying so do the mushroom thing

I know how the fuck you feel man. It's awesome smoking with no tolerance, the paranoia is fun as hell! I love it. Makes the experience NOT boring unlike with smoking on a strong tolerance!

Is it possible the synthetic JWH, or whatever you smoked, gave you some kind of perma-tolerance for the real thing?
I'm afraid of that synthetic stuff man, after all the K2 stories, and all the different kinds they invent these days...
Well actually I'm being a little hypocritical here. There are some RC's that I really like to take. Like Mxe, that stuff is great. Just don't take it every day. An Mxe addiction is something you definitely want to avoid!
