Fuckin' amen to that.

Week-long relapse, somehow tricked myself into believing I'm a fucking rastafari. Got out just in time after I opened and closed the 'hey lets see entities and pennywise' door.

Motherfucker.

Why do we use the term "relapse" to describe a decision to use?

It's a total mind-fuck. Let's call it what it is. A decision.

Yeah, I'm with ya on not creating more needless suffering.

Good and evil are illusion.

Fuck me, lol. :2girls1cup:

My view on weed:
Smoked a joint at the Easter bonfire yesterday, as I was talking the whole time with my wife I felt my voice shallow up and my presence fade, my posture took a turn for the worse and my inhibitions lowered substantially. I want to 'better' myself and become a leaner, meaner more-in-capable-of-fighting machine, and weed just doesn't help me with that. It's not the devil, it's just not something for me at this point in time.

Fellow marijuana abstainer checking in. It's been almost two months clean for me.

I love the stuff... the look, the smell, the taste of the vapor. The taste of the smoke is so-so, I can take it or leave it, but the flavor of a draw of vapor... I find it delicious! Vaporization is my preferred ingestion method.

After years of believing I wasn't really a habit-forming kind of person, certain realities came to light, especially concerning cannabis. I would vape with the intention of limiting myself, perhaps once a day or only on weekends, but would end up spending most of my time getting high. That pattern of activity does nothing to help my anxiety and depression, it only masks it for a few hours at a time.

It was hard to realize this and try to seek help, but I did. Talking about depression and anxiety helped me remember some personal truths that I had discovered on hallucinogens years back. I haven't tripped in years due to a very long, intense LSD solo trip I went through a few winters back. It's hard to admit this as well but that trip had a long-lasting negative impact on my psyche, wherein my ego felt so assaulted that in retaliation it swelled, and swelled, and swelled. I puzzled over paranoias and existential crises for a long time, never letting go of my anxiety. This anxiety spilled out of me and affected others around me in profoundly negative ways, and it is hard to forgive myself for that.

I am planning on tripping soon, partly out hiking in nature during the day and partly at home, at the right time for me. It's been too long, and I have never tripped without the use of marijuana either as an anxiety suppressant for the come-up, or a potentiator during peak activity. I look forward to being more clear-headed and experiencing a more "pure" trip since I'll only be ingesting a hallucinogen. I will be sure to refresh my perspective on anxiety and the self with certain reading materials that put me in the right frame of mind, prepared for acceptance, forgiveness, and surrender. I'm hoping that a new, positive experience can relieve me of any residual anxiety from that previous experience, while also providing all the other benefits of a well-intentioned trip.

Marijuana did a lot of positive things for me in the past, but after a long period of use (some might say abuse) I think it's time for a very long break. I have noticed, like many others in the thread (and many on Reddit's /r/leaves subreddit, another great community for quitting cannabis) that my mental clarity, focus, presence, memory, and ability to dream have drastically improved since stopping. I have stopped for up to 6 months semi-voluntarily before, when I was seeking a more serious job that may include a drug test, but now it's fully voluntary.

I will probably return after a significant break period, I'm thinking a year or so or more, and then I will need to be extremely careful. Each time I acquire even the smallest amount, I tend to snowball and want to vape constantly until all of it is gone. I conserve a lot of weed with vaping, and I don't use much in a day, but being high all day is not productive regardless. The ritual is intoxicating in and of itself... smell the bud, grind it up, scoop it in, take a deep breath. I know I will need more discipline to control the habit.

I have even caught myself trying to replace bud with alcohol. I generally dislike drinking, a lot, but in times of extreme sobriety I will drink a few mixed drinks or beers over the course of a night. It's not much, but I can feel the craving next day, and if it's available it's very likely I'll just continue that pattern, especially with beer. I bought some beer the other day, but I think I'm just going to try to kick that habit too. Hell, if I'm kicking weed, alcohol is much worse anyway. Might as well be consistent.

I didn't start this post with the intention of making it so long, but those are my thoughts on the manner. Stay strong, fellow abstainers. Don't judge yourself too hard if you "relapse" or indulge again... we are only human. Simply re-commit and remind yourself why it's good to have that clarity of mind, that presence... ground yourself in the present moment, accept reality as it is. That's the only way forward.

Peace

Been not smoking since Thursday my tolerance is my issue. Trying to quit for like two weeks to a month to save money. I been smoking like a 1.5 or 2 grams a day it's gotten to the point a bowl doesn't get me that stoned I'll smoke like 2 or 3 bowls every 6 hours. I remember when I had no tolerance I couldn't even finish the bowl because it would have me so stoned I didn't want to get higher.

Anyway im detoxing for real this time ima commit to it this time. Like recently I can smoke as much as I have and it wouldn't even get me as high as a single hit when I didn't have a tolerance. Plus in all honesty the amount I been smoking I get sad when I quit I feel like depressed when I'm not high. I was going to just get this detox done then go back to weed but not smoke all day everyday. I just wish I didn't feel like complete shit without weed but once my detox is done the occasional bowl/joint shouldn't leave me feeling like shit the way my 24/7 stoned habit has.

I've spent like $700 on weed just this year last year was like $1,000 honestly that's why I'm quitting cause I don't get as much from weed as I would but still paying full price.

With the exception of smoking 5g over a few days when I flew home for xmas, i've stopped smoking weed for a year now (smoked daily for 15+ years). Really goes to show how a change of scenery can break the pattern and how easy it is to slip back into it when your around the old enablers.

I did 2 hits of LSD yesterday and smoked 2 more grams of weed. I don't think I really want to quit smoking but hate my tolerance.

Weed changes a lot of things.

A good strain isn't really going to be much tolerance.  LSD can make every drug pointless.

I usually worried about being too high.  Waking up a bitch that gotta smoke.  Just being a snot nosed brat.

I keep getting the message -when tripping- that I must stop distracting myself with trivial matters, and seriously pursue the course I am 'meant' to follow. Fishy and airy-fairy as it sounds, the advice seems sound and it rings true to me. I don't think weed is inherently a problem, but I think my habits have become problematic, and I should probably take some time off the stuff. Of course I've been saying this for a while, never taking breaks more than a week or two though

I've been smoking for 15 years and need to quit for a job that does random drug tests. They test for all the common "hard" illegal drugs as well as marijuana and prescription painkillers. Much of me doesn't want to quit but I've been using weed as a crutch for my stress for so long that it has become a crutch itself. Smoking daily half my life, I don't think I can kick it without managing my stress with some sort of legal substitute.

Initially, I will be tripping as often as I can (low-moderate dose every 4-7 days) to get through it. Thankfully they don't test for psychedelics. Scientific research has been done showing a potential for psilocybin and LSD to treat alcohol addiction and indeed, tripping was the source of this motivation. I barely feel marijuana when I'm tripping so I think there is potential to kick weed habits as well. However, I still may need a legal substitute for the days in-between.

I never enjoyed alcohol or cigarettes but I'm willing to try to like it when I'm not tripping to fight the cravings. I'm considering smoking Salvia for the oral fixation. I'm also curious of other medicinal herbs that may help, both psychoactive and non-psychoactive. Research has also shown that any chemical works much better at fighting addiction when combined with therapy, so I'm also curious of any meditative practices that may help me make these transformational changes..

If you believe your reason for getting stoned is stress, I'd explore that first.

Anxiety is rooted in thinking. Noticing the thoughts that fuel stress is place to start.

When you feel stressed, stop and be still for a moment, and observe your thoughts.

Notice the thoughts that encourage you to get high. The voice that provides excuses.

I decided to quit recently. It started off as a tolerance break but now i see that this can be a huge step in the right direction in my life. I don't really want to but I know I should. I'm concerned right now because in the past when I've taken a break, I've become an intolerable asshole and I pretty much hate myself. I'm really nervous this go around because I don't want to be a dick and feel like shit for the next x amount of days. Do you guys think quitting cold turkey is a bad idea? Any experience would help.

Quitting cold turkey is the best way to quit weed.
Quitting weed doesn't make you an asshole; you make yourself an asshole.
Think about what you say from now on.  Don't blurt out everything. 
Use your new found mental clarity from abstaining from weed to figure out how to make you the best version of yourself.

I don't have that mental clarity yet. This is definitely going to be a process, not an event. It just sucks because my appetite goes away. I don't think weed is a bad I just want to be healthy and save money. I do see the benefits in quitting though. I'm at the part where I don't want to but know I should.

I'm the same as dude above.

I let a lot less shit slide when I'm dry. I bitch a lot, but about real shit. It takes a toll on my loved ones, but I get so much accomplished when I'm without. I don't know what it is. It's something, for sure. But i don't know what. I'm only ever out for a day or two now, but in the past it'd be a week or three and I'd be a dickhead but I swear when I was dry I'd prove my points, got two raises at work, house mega clean and my myco work never got behind.

Smoking makes me very lazy, but I tell myself I have to be a stoner. I've smoked since early teens, been atleast 10 years now. I love it. I don't feel like it's physically adversely affecting me, but I wonder what I could be if I didn't smoke weed.
