George Carlin said about weed...

I saw an interview of George Carlin. He said that he used to do weed, that it's a value-changing drug, that it lets you know when it's done with you. That is, he smoked it for a while, it changed him, and eventually the weed said to him that he's done enough, he learned what he needed to learn from it, and then he no longer needed it and never smoked again.
I found that interesting. Any thoughts on this?

I kind of agree with him. If it's not doing anything for you anymore, why keep smoking it? But if it is doing something for ya', then keep smoking!!

I can agree with that. I used to be a daily smoker a couple of years ago, now its more like once a month if I feel I need the experience.

thats what happened to me. i smoked weed for a long time, got many life changing insights from it and then eventually the only insight i would get was that it was time to stop smoking.

This is an interesting way of looking at all drugs really.
I've learned as much as I can from salvia and DXM. I will 100% never do DXM again, and probably 99% never smoke salvia again.
As George put it, I learned what I had to and what they had to offer, and I moved on.

i guess youd have to reach that point for yourself to understand... about three years ago i was a dealer, i smoked around an ounce a day, i got busted and spent almost three years on probation, sober as a judge, no pot, no beer, only shrooms, after i got off i started smoking again and i guess it just wasnt what it used to be, i wasnt doing it for fun anymore, it was more just something to do, thats when i realized it was time to cut back, i still smoke on occasion, when i feel the need, but i can relate to what he said.

i think i agree with that, but the system seems to operate a little differently in my case. with weed, and drugs in general, i'll use for a while, at whatever rate feels right at the time, and then back off somewhere down the road. after a bit of sobriety, i'll feel the need to experience it again, and go back. i kind of like it this way, because it offers me the opportunity to observe things both objetively and introspectively.

I think it's the point that you realize that it has become more of an addiction than recreation and fun when you finally decide to quit. Who wouldn't get tired of smoking dope EVERY DAY eventually?
