Yeah I don't really prefer it. But I am a tenured smoker with 15 years under my belt. Start smoking weed when I was 14 and haven't really let up since my last couple of years (29 now).

I feel like I wasted away the early years of my life being stoned, I would have most likely been more successful, but at the opposite end of the spectrum, I possibly could be dead, since I was gunning for the military when I was young and weed was the only thing that stopped me. I definitely should have let me brain develop a little bit better, even though I can write this, sometimes I feel like a fucking moron.

Just checking in. I abstain from marijuana but use psychedelics and K occasionally.  I was a daily smoker for a long time and when I turned 28 it started giving me anxiety. I had a lot of fun with bud and I live in the bud mecca of the world so it can be tough to abstain but I feel better overall. I'll probably smoke again but I want to see what a year off weed feels like

I just figured out weed has been giving me crazy mood swings, I’m now stopping all consumption of weed. It kind of sucks because I’m a huge advocate for weed, but I guess it is just my time to not smoke it. It served its purpose and I know I will probably smoke it again, but right now the mood swings are not worth it at all, especially when I have to work with the public. Being grumpy around the public is just asking for trouble.

I find cannabis not so different from money itself.  Not having enough money is similar to having insufficient virtue/skill.  Many of us are in that situation, barely making ends meet, wracking our brains about how to get more of what is valuable (e.g, shelter from the storm, virtue, skill, control, love, good feeling, food, money, etc).

"Attention may last a second. That is good enough. Don't be greedy to have more. In the greed to have more, you have already created the centre, and then you are caught."

I am suffering from TOO MUCH Marijuana Abstinence. Its usually very hard for me to find Marijuana so I often go weeks without it because I cant find it in a timely manner. I havent smoked in 10 days right now. Thats why I wish Marijuana was legal in my State right now. Thats why I am so angry at Joe Biden because Joe Biden opposes Marijuana legalization. I will never vote for Joe Biden.

Marijuana Abstinence is okay if thats what you feel you need, but I wish people had the choice, I wish Marijuana was legal in the United States of America.

With you there. I hate that I'm drinking so much more alcohol right now purely because I can buy it over the counter. Miss living in California for that factor. Shy folks just don't have enough friends to have options outside of legal states.

Ideally I'd like to abstain from THC in general since I don't really like the whole sleepily-doing-nothing thing, and I get worried I'm gonna start affecting my memory, but I need the positivity the high brings with it so damn much. My big hope right now is that I can grow some psilocybes for microdosing with fewer side effects than weed.

“If you wish,” said he, “to make Pythocles rich, do not add to his store of money, but subtract from his desires. …. There is, however, one point on which I would warn you, – not to consider that this statement applies only to riches; its value will be the same, no matter how you apply it. “If you wish to make Pythocles honourable, do not add to his honours, but subtract from his desires”; “if you wish Pythocles to have pleasure for ever, do not add to his pleasures, but subtract from his desires”; (Seneca, XXI, 7-8)

Why are you a "huge advocate for weed" if it causes you so much emotional turmoil?

These days wild mood swings are generally referred to be a medical condition called "bipolar".

Although we do a lot to cultivate wild mood swings, we prefer to call it a "medical condition"

I was a near-daily smoker for a number of years and haven't touched the stuff for 18 months now. Feel better for it for sure. Smoking anything really isn't good for you and even vaping has its problems in terms of its impact on health. I was sporty when I was young and got to represent my state, then when I was having cones almost every day I could barely jog 20 metres without having an asthmatic attack. Weed fucks up your lung function if you smoke it. Eating it might be a different matter though!

I'm now back into health and fitness - natural endorphins are my chemical of choice these days.

How long did it take for you guys to start feeling 'normal' again?

I quit back in November for 116 days, then started up again during the quarantine. I am about 45 days into my current quit, with no cravings. My emotions have been a bit funky and I'm having trouble with persistent memories of stupid shit I've said and done in the past (something I'm in therapy for anyway). Any advice appreciated

Hard to say what normal is. I had night sweats for a length of time when I went cold turkey, quite uncomfortable waking up in a pool of sweat every night but eventually that goes away as the body adjusts to a life without green. Getting into exercise helped a heap as it gave me natural highs which replaced the THC highs. There’s no looking back now. Life without weed is more fulfilling and you get more done too!

C. G. Jung (CW 14, par. 709): "In general, meditation and contemplation have a bad reputation in the West. They are regarded as a particularly reprehensible form of idleness or as pathological narcissism. No one has time for self-knowledge or believes that it could serve any sensible purpose. Also, one knows in advance that it is not worth the trouble to know oneself, for any fool can know what he is. We believe exclusively in doing and do not ask about the doer, who is judged only by achievements that have collective value. The general public seems to have taken cognizance of the existence of the unconscious psyche more than the so-called experts, but still nobody has drawn any conclusions from the fact that Western man confronts himself as a stranger and that self-knowledge is one of the most difficult and exacting of the arts."

Sigh. Checking in here. Probably....oh...I cut my use of edibles by about 90%, and taking this activated charcoal twice a day made my tolerance diminish, but not by much. I find that cannabis is a band-aid patch for my c-PTSD and TRD, so it works, so long as I keep using it. Unfortunately, lately I have noticed that I am hitting the ceiling with the stuff, which used to be a lot higher. I don't know...I just know I benefit more from occasional psychedelic usage. Cannabis can be psychedelic, but I just need to stop using it as often as I have been...I think. I really don't know. I know I need to stop eating RSO every other day / every day but it's so good for my ailments, but then I end up needing like 200mg or more each time. I need to save up monies, since...my whole life is now trying to manage a very tiny amount of money, thanks to good ol cobra19

With you there. I hate that I'm drinking so much more alcohol right now purely because I can buy it over the counter. Miss living in California for that factor. Shy folks just don't have enough friends to have options outside of legal states.




Imagine having this problem with cannabis barely helping a mental situation that demands at least cannabis usage (c-PTSD and TRD), and having it respond better to psychedelics lol. All my homies are in other states, and you don't just walk up to acid or shroom dealers. I don't have a place to grow either, otherwise I totally would.

So, I have been taking activated charcoal twice a day for about a week. Goddamnit, do I wish I had a sauna. I would freaking build one if I had enough spare time, the wood, etc.

I will say this--activated charcoal, along with water and heating your internal body temperature up, by either getting tons of layers on or sweating via exercise/yoga/etc., really does pull toxins out of my body so well...and toxins can be found anywhere in the body, including the brain. I get that feeling one gets on a psychedelic where it feels like a brain massage--I get that on activated charcoal + water. Odd...it also makes me clear headed. Must be just binding to all the THC metabolites in my blood and clearing them out. I just want to reset my tolerance quickly and nearly completely so I can reap the benefits of cannabis again, so I can get back to diminishing my PTSD and TRD more effectively. I have tried every medication in the book, sadly. On some pills from my psych because I can't find actual psychs, although I thought about driving to go find them today, I forgot I had an appointment basically right in the middle of the day, and getting to the more urban areas is a hassle for me, not to mention parking. I guess I could line my backpack with foil, take the bus, quickly pick (finally now that I have seen enough pictures), and then just fill my pack.

I really wish I had a place to grow them. I think I'm just going to cut back on the cannabis as much as I can without losing my mind with the PTSD flashbacks, and hopefully save up enough to get a different place with some cool roommates. I have a trust problem with other people, I feel like if I just found people that I could trip around, they wouldn't freak out, then that's where I would live....so I definitely have spent all my money living by myself and can no longer afford it with my current cannabis expenses.

This sucks. I really wish at least ketamine infusion therapy was covered by insurance. Or we didn't have a health insurance system in the first place.

Wishing everyone well

My relationship with weed is interesting to say the least. About the longest I've abstained in the past 10 years has been 1.5 months. Going to break my record and really try to re-balance my life.
It's not so bad without and hope you guys are able to stick to your goals.

Great quote!

I have a few friends who ridicule any form of introspection. BTW - I saw a show recently where several people ridiculed the ideas of self-compassion and self-love (kindness towards oneself). I found some irony in that. Maybe irony is not the right word, but I bet you know what I mean.

People are often looking for excuses that justify the continuation of their habits (the habit of ridiculing, defrauding, and putting people down might be hard to break).

Correct.

Projection is also more ubiquitous than people realize, it's not limited to a subset of people and political stances/excuses. It's the foundation of human expression if one isn't conscious of one's self.

Used to laugh about getting high 350+ days of the year. In hindsight, it was not the best choice. Been wanting to stop it for good, but somehow always am back.

Anyway, just found this thread. Thanks for making it :thumbup:
