Let's talk about it.

Did you ever attain moderation?

How did you do it?

Did you fail to ever maintain or attain moderation?

How do you cope?

I've kept my intake of cannabis in moderation and pretty much the same for 10+ years now . I've never failed at maintaining moderation, I've kept it consistent since I first started to smoke regularly/daily a decade ago.

I've been a daily smoker for basically the past 10 years, I smoke daily but not large amounts. Up until about 2 years ago I was smoking a little over a gram a week (about 0.2g a day). That was my standard for about 7 years. These days I'm smoking about an 8th a week. I dab occasionally too, but I have taken a break from extracts. I enjoy flower a lot more than extracts.



I love cannabis, I adore it, it holds a very special place in my heart....but I am not trying to get stoned out of my gourd all day every day. I smoke basically the same amounts every day around the same time each day. When I smoke day to day I'm not aiming to get as stoned as possible (with certain times/occasions I am tho lol). I actually enjoy having the tolerance that I do and that's another reason I keep my intake in moderation, so my level of tolerance remains the same (high enough tolerance I can toke casually with out being couch-locked stoned and remain clean headed, but low enough tolerance that a few tokes still gets me to the level I like to be at).

I usually take two bong rips in the afternoon....Another two before dinner.....Two or three more after dinner...Then another two or three before bed time...I do that every day and I have no desire to "smoke more" or "get higher".



I grew a few plants this summer...so for the very first time ever I have "lots of weed" at my disposal lol, I should end up with around a pound or so...The most herb I've ever had in my possession previously was about 7g lol, so I have WAAAAY more herb in my hands than I have ever before...Soon to be lots of edibles and hash too.

....but even though I now have a dozen jars filled to the top with dank buds and still another plant to harvest, I still do not have any desire to smoke more. I still take my two bong rips in the afternoon and leave it at that.

If I were to smoke larger amounts through the day then that just ruins my tolerance and leaves me in a stoned haze through the day...that's not what I'm trying to do...I like to keep everything in balance.



Sure there are occasions where I am trying to get as high/stoned as possible (usually after a night of tripping or rolling)...Or if I'm sick and not feeling well....Or if it's a particular celebration/holiday of sorts....but generally I use the herb as a "medicine" or "spiritual" component to my days (I look at weed something medicinal/recreational/spiritual)...I take a few tokes through the day and leave it at that.


I'm the same way with kratom too...all plants/drugs I work with I do so in moderation and with a regimen of sorts. I have a set way I use them, I find what sort of dose/regimen works for me and I don't stray far from it.

I think part of moderation is always being able to get super duper high

If you smoke too much it kills it

Especially the frequency of smoking

Yeah

Smoking a few times a week or even just one time at night keeps your tolerance way down and you get very high from just a few hits ans its overall a much more enjoyable high


Smoking all day everyday gets old hella quick



There more to life than cheifing D kush all D time



Imo a fullfilling day of productive behavior and coming home to a is wayyyygh better than waking up smoking weed and getting instantly tired and hazy

I'm very successful. There is not much in life I have visioned pursued and conquered.

Quit blaming drugs on your personal flaws.

Its just that simple

For me, finding "sober time" is important. If u think being stoned all the time is all good, there will be no moderation.

One moderating factor is i get pretty bad munchies, so some sober time is good for my wallet, so i dont have to spend so much money on food.

Secondly, it interfers with my sleep (wakes me up), so smoking during stragetic times helps me sleep normally.

Yeah I have problems with this. I can quit weed no problem if I just don't buy it, but if I have it around I smoke it.

Might try sometime to use one of those medication containers with compartments for each day of the week.
