I've been smoking daily for 20+ years. I'm 6'2" 170 lbs. Tell me more how I'm gonna get so fat... :lol: I have problems GAINING weight. 
15 years ago they used to say, "Oh, it's just because of your young metabolism.. just wait until you get into your 20s and 30s, it will catch up to you." Coming up on 35 and still waiting....
Do I need to wait until I'm 60 to get fat? When does it kick in exactly? Cause I want to know what it's like to have more than 15-18% BMI
You know what's gonna get you fat? Eating shit food and not exercising +/- bad genetics or some pharmaceuticals or a health problem. Pot has nothing to do with it. If anything, it helps make you thinner... according to science.

Also, if you smoke pot and use that as an excuse to be lazy and eat shit food... well that's YOUR problem, not the pot.
Plenty of people smoke pot and exercise and eat healthy. Hell... I exercise way better when stoned.
It just irks me when people say "pot makes you lazy" or whatever.. no.. YOU make you lazy. I function just fine.
Pot is the best medicine I have ever found for what ails me. I will likely never stop. Said it ten years ago and still saying it.
But in moderation, ya dig? Anything in excess can be harmful. There must be balance.

I'm trying not to add all the positives and ways it has enhanced or saved my life over the years because OP didn't want that.

Anyway, I'm not trying to shit on this thread, or convince anyone in here to NOT quit...
In fact - Different strokes for different folks / more power to you / pot probably isn't for absolutely everyone from my experience (in fact my girl is one of them)... etc etc etc...
Some people can't use it responsibly without abusing it and letting it impair their life.. some people get anxiety or whatever.. I can't even comprehend that because it has the opposite effect on me.
Seems to effect some people differently than it does others.. it's not for everyone from what I've seen.
If it's not for you... it's not for you. That's cool and I can totally respect that... but what I cannot stand is blatant propaganda.

Just 2 cents from a #pothead4lyfe. I don't think everyone should be though.

Carry on with your thread.

Yeah it's weird. My chick gets crazy anxiety when she smokes... or she just falls asleep. She can't do it anymore.
No sweat off my back. But so weird to me.. because pot literally melts anxiety away from me. I can't even comprehend anxiety when stoned. It's like a foreign concept.
I tend to rage sometimes and it calms me down like woah. Takes me down to where I need to be.

Different body/brain chemistries / genetics I suppose.

But yeah, literally drives me nuts when I see people spouting that propaganda that cannabis makes you lazy or fat or dumb. Lies. All straight from Reefer Madness and its predecessors too.

It's not for everyone. That much is pretty clear. But don't blame a substance for your own shortcomings if you aren't absolutely certain, it's disingenuous and isn't going to solve your problem.
If your problem is an addictive personality, quitting pot isn't necessarily going to fix your problem. Some go on to much worse addictions.... like heroin..... or alcohol... or gambling.. or whatever.
Personally, would much rather be "addicted" to pot than those others I mentioned. Have enough dead friends to show for it.
But the point is you have to nip the problem at its source. Maybe pot IS the problem for some people. I don't know, I'm not you.. everyone is a little different.
But pot definitely does not force you to sit on the couch watching TV and eating twinkies all day. That's your own laziness/lack of care.

There's something deeper to all this though - I've always looked for ways to alter my state. My earliest memories are of jumping through the banisters on the stairs, higher and higher each time, looking for a rush. starting fires, getting into dirt bikes, sex, fights, drugs, fast cars, superbikes, etc, etc. It's the root cause for such behaviour I need to find, else I'll forever be resisting, rather than having understood and overcome.

So, for the time being, I'm gonna stick at baseline. Nothing before work, that leads to a foggy head. If I can spend 16/17 hours awake sober that'll do for now while I focus on getting to the the heart of why I need to alter my state. I nearly had it the other day, but there's a blockage of some sort. It'll click at some point. I suspect it's related to my very early years and my mother. I'll keep you guys posted.

Sending my heart out to you all, keep at it.




FYI.. and just throwing this out there. Humans have been altering their consciousness since the dawn of humans. It's literally encoded in our DNA. It's how we evolved.
You can go as far back in history as you want.

That's said, there's a big fucking difference between "altering your reality to expand consciousness".... and "constantly altering your reality just to escape from real reality"...
one is "good", one can definitely be harmful. Just some food for thought.

If you are fucked up constantly that becomes your baseline. Definitely need some time to be sober and living in reality. Altering your consciousness shouldn't be a constant thing.

That said I consider ganja a medicine more than anything. I'm speaking more like psychedelics and whatnot.
But like I said before, anything in excess can be bad. Even water can be toxic if you drink enough of it too fast.

Just throwing that out there. Altering your consciousness isn't necessarily a bad thing, and it's completely natural to want to do so. Just have to find balance.

But if you're altering your consciousness all the time to try and escape from reality... a better solution is probably some deep meditation and introspection to find the source of that conflict and resolve it within, maybe some therapy.
But definitely.. meditation.

Once again, as I feel people are going to misinterpret my intentions here.. I want to make it clear I'm not trying to tell people to smoke weed or sell anyone on it.
I'm just saying it works for me. I know it doesn't for everyone.. and if you think quitting or cutting back will help you.. then fucking do it.
Just providing some different perspective.

CARRY ON!
