Wow am I happy to find this thread!

It seems like from reading that alot if you guys are in a similar boat!

Weed had been a daily thing for me for about the past 5 years... but I've always been a weed smoker since 15/16 years back, started when I was about 14.

Managed to go without it for a week exactly but yesterday had abit of a blip.


I've got a couple of good friends who i've known most my life, but i'm starting to think maybe I should distance myself away from them, which may hurt abit as one of them particularly has been a good friend and very helpful as I've been going through other substance battles myself.

Last time I quit i had people smoking it in my house and didn't care, but I'm unsure if the DMT I had been smoking at the time gave me some power and mental clarity to raise above it.

I would love to have another trip actually but I've not tripped without weed in such a long time, and who wants to be stuck in an anxious thought loop of ' wheres my crutch gone' type thing. As that is exactly what it had became in my life, a crutch.

Sleeping was starting to get much better, the sweating was dissapearing and my breathing/asthma had pretty much dissapeared. I was still coughing up phlegmy tar but it was getting less and less, must have been my chest opening up.


But the blip yesterday happened when I ran into a friend of one of my good friends at the gym. Who happens to sell weed. Now I didn't buy any, didn't plan on, had no money either which helped, but the cravings kicked in abit.

I then ended up at my good friends house who wants to quit but is maybe abit behind me in it, but still wants to make progress. We watched a film and before i know it theres a joint passed right to my face.

Now I ain't blaming him at all. But I'd like to keep him as a friend, but feel for myself if i want to quit for good I am going to have to gather the strength to avoid this.

Maybe I should smoke some of the changa I have got instead, that may gather myself some strength :-D

Peace & Love to you peeps. STAY STRONG! OUR LIVES ARE BETTER WITHOUT THIS PLANT (for the majority of us in here anyways)

Anyone from the last page or from this whole thread care to share their current progress/experience?

I’ve been smoking daily for a couple years now, not nearly as long as a lot of you seem to have though. I hate wanting to smoke before literally anything I do. I use it a lot of times because I’m bored which has been quite detrimental to my daily life.

I keep going through these phases where I’ll tell myself I need to quit and do it for a couple days then come back to it and feel guilty, but eventually it gets to the point where I just say fuck it and take as many dabs a day as I feel needed and not worry about it until i repeat it all over again.

There’s been a few times where I’ve had to go without for money reasons and I tell myself when I come back to it I won’t smoke as much, I’ve done that 3 or 4 times it seems like I just can’t handle it or something but god I don’t want to go without it forever.

Not to mention, my perception from using cannabis daily after taking psychedelics is quite “open” and I feel if I keep going down the road I’m in I’m going to lead myself to some potentially serious mental health problems, but even this is something I’ll sweep under the rug to keep smoking.

Going cold turkey seems like the only option here and it doesn’t sound like fun. I’m just about out of oil and can’t spend anymore money on it at the moment so I’m goin for it, I just hope this doesn’t happen all over again, I need to find a healthy balance.

Thank you for this thread, feels good to type this out, that rabbit hole analogy really resonated with me btw lol.

It has been over 3 months now!

really surprised my self as for a while weed was part of my identity!

I have been feeling really good and it has made me not want to touch the stuff again.


still hang out with my friends that are serious smokers and I can see how it effects them and reminds me that I was like that. pretty repulsive

had some great psychedelic journeys too! so much better without cannabis


to the people above, you got this!!

That’s super cool to hear

Very interesting you say psych experiences are better without cannabis, I couldn’t even imagine psychedelics without cannabis I can’t remember a trip where I didn’t smoke.

Thank you!

Been almost a month I think. Still having ridiculous dreams I think from the rem rebound. Turns out my mom has similar weed issues. If she has it she smokes it, and without she gets vivid dreams.

Its pretty terrible, but I don't plan on going back. I know its probably blasphemy here, but I'd go as far as to say weed is subtly evil. People that don't think its addictive are myopic or don't get it.
I enjoyed every puff and regret every second.
Sober life is tough. Depression and ocd are more prominent.

I'd still vote to legalize it as I did. Arresting people hardly ever works. It seems part of the cultural degradation we are steeped in though, and it makes me Joe rogan question everything I thought

As my thread I made shows, I'm looking for less habitual solutions for what I self medicated for

Well I am sure glad to have found this thread. Looks like I am not the only one who has had issues with consumption. I was stoned every day all day since I was 16 and did that for at least 7 years. It was great at first, helped my anxiety, I was happy, no worries. But slowly the positive effects began to go away, I got increasingly paranoid, I would sleep forever and do nothing all day. I was miserable and blamed whatever I could on my own life’s problems. It wasn’t until one day I ran out and I was completely broke that I realized what a problem it was. I was searching around the floor with a damn flash light looking for every tiny little speck in my apartment so I could smoke a cone. I even went through the damn vacuum cleaner... That is when I realized it had really become a problem. It has been 3 years since that and I would quit for a bit than go back to my usual smoke every 60 minutes routine. Than I started to have some serious mental health issues from it. I started to get extremely paranoid while stoned, and yet continue to need to be stoned. And eventually I was having full blown panic attacks thinking I was dying every time I smoked. It has been about 3 months now of not smoking. I have started college and it was time to change and really set my life straight. I feel way better now. My anxiety is going away. My mind is clearing up. I can remember things better and actually hold conversations. I do still really enjoy marijuana and I hope one day I will be healthy and understand moderation and be able to smoke a joint now and again with friends on special occasions, but for now I know if I do that I will be right back into the habit. Good to see I am not alone. I wish you all the best of luck!

I used to smoke every day for 3 years. It messed up with me and you know what I am talking about. The thing is that we have really bad weed in Croatia, so that helped me to stop.

Lost of money, addicting, not healthy for the mind and the body.


But overall, I think that having a smoke every 1/2 months can be beneficial. More is a waste of precious time.

It does it gets so much easier. I've been marijuana free (not by choice) but I dont even have the urge to smoke even when my wife smokes right next to me.

Great post. Thanks for sharing.

I used to smoke every weekend back in 2016/2017. Then it turned into everyday. Until I found out they were doing random drug tests at my job and I was like, "FUCK THAT!" I quit cold turkey that day. Yes, I got withdrawals and everything. But what I did was drink a lot of water, AND orange juice. Not sure if I would recommend the OJ because I'm not sure how it helped me. But yeah, I was addicted for some time. I'm sober from it now. I don't even know why I liked the way it made me feel.

Good luck to all of you trying to get off it. You can do it!

I'm on day 3 with no weed. It's not a big of an issue for me as other substances were, but it does feel nice not having it for a while. I will probably smoke eventually down the road but I can relate on going over board with it. I used to live stoned for 2 years and I could "feel" the weed not really doing anything anymore and I just kept smoking. I'm currently in the process of getting back on my feet and for now I think I will just stay away from it because my new job does do some sort of drug test if you get hurt. I don't plan on getting hurt, but I really need/like my job so I am choosing my job.

I would like to properly turn over a new leaf. Stay off the tobacco, take a 3 month break from bud, then after a bag, three years. Get cracking with my studies. Move toward growing into healthy and interesting hobbies, as opposed to feeling passion over little other than weed and tv shows.

A week in :smile:

Necro bumping this thread because I have been tossing around the idea of abstaining from Cannabis. Have tried before without success. When I am sober, I think of being high and when I am high, I think of being sober.

Its always been a struggle because of these common things.

A) I find a reason to justify getting stoned or just don't even care to see how my day would go without.

B) Its readily available in my state for legal consumption and purchase.

Just leaving this here to hold accountability with myself

What ended up helping me is simply not getting more, letting myself run out and then going like 2 full days, then its so much easier. It's always the first 2 days that is the hardest. Glad I'm not the only one who prefers to not be stoned all the time.

Now if only I could quit kratom...
