well, after multiple close encounters with the cops, and with my friends psycho ex-girlfriend on my friends and my back for smoking weed.
and after a little research on weed

i have decided that once my last dime bag is gone I'm gonna stop... for now anyway ;-)

i have come to realize that weed is not gonna do anything for me except get me in to trouble. sure its fun and the feeling is like no other and i absolutly love weed, but I'm afraid I'm sick of the bullshit.


This is probably how its going to work, when i hit my midlife crisis ill whip out the old pipe and smoke some grass, or when weed becomes legal, or when i retire on my future farm. Which ever comes first.

Don't worry RIU ill defently say hello to Mary Jane again one day. Just not anytime soon.

Well i wish all the best to the RIU community

HAPPPPYYYYYYY TOKINGGGGG :bigjoint:

Gotta do what ya gotta do. There's a lot of benefits to quitting. Good luck to you, it's not too difficult but if you've been a long time daily smoker once you hit the 2nd week it get a little annoying. I know I'm feeling it right now.

I was thinking of up and quitting after I return from Mexico. I'm already on day 5 of no MJ. However, after getting much closer to my older cousin who has been smoking daily since age 15 (12 yrs) and who is now in his 5th year working for Microsoft, I see that MJ and a successful responsible work career can easily co-exist. Plus, he's an awesome guy, and now I know one of the reasons why. He's putting in a word for me at MS and hopefully I get the job. Never thought I'd be FRIENDS (as in hang out, because we live 20 mins apart) with my cousin. But hey, never say never. He apparently has an amazing hookup so I can't wait to match with him :)

Of course it works. I know literally at least 20 people who smoke just as much as I do(daily) and they all lead very full lives with good jobs.

I own my own business and I smoke daily while at work and I still get all my shit done. I've never listened to the "pot heads are all lazy" bullshit because its nothing more than half truths. I know more drunks who don't do shit w/their lives than I do pot heads doing the same.

+rep, hobbes. I'm not even 19 so I have no idea what it will be like. However, from all the experiences I've heard lately, your right it's nothin more than half truths.

and yeah its true alcoholics fuck up there lives much worse than potheads do. if a pothead is lazy its a character flaw and has little (some, if its heavy indica) to do with weed.

yeah me too, i dont believe that bullshit either.
Potheads get dumber, Potheads get lazy, Potheads get depressed, Potheads personalities gets aggressive, Potheads try more dangerous drugs, Potheads this, Potheads that. its all crap

I reckon the media and politicians just say that so you THINK your getting dumber and lazier etc etc.

Because they think prohibition of MJ is making them money, but it is doing quite the opposite through very indirect causes that they are too stupid to see.

I would just toss out slowing down... when I was in school I smoked all day, everyday and still made good grades in a hard major.
Now that I can only look back on college, I only smoke a couple times a week and get a little every couple of weeks. My tolerance is down - so that's a plus and mary jane remains in my life.:bigjoint:

It all depends on you if the negatives out weight the positive then stop,it's just not for some folks,ex. my buddy is worthless after a joint,i mean lazy as f*ck,slow,never get things done,just sit in 1 spot and stare into space type of pothead......me on the other hand smoke all day long,before household chores ,my daily 2 mile run,going shopping,I just do more if I smoke....which lot of people can't understand..but that's me.....I luv my mary...I seriously don't see my self quitting unless it became a serious health concern

TC, I'm in the same position dude. 18 here, and I just can't handle the paranoia that comes with hiding shit in my parent's house. I get useless when I'm high, and I need to stop at least until I'm living on my own. Of course I'm goin to college next year so that prolly won't last but whatever, for now I gotta lay off, and it's a fucking BUMMER. Can't wait until I have my own place so I can grow a few honeys and take bong rips all day lol.

I think it depends. Like say its a Saturday and no good sports games to watch I'll get going on all my errands and lists of things to do. If I smoke beforehand I don't get much done. However if I smoke when I'm in the middle of my errands or chores I keep on doing them usually with more focus and attention than normally.

Weed calms my ADD. Its amazing how clear I think when stoned.
