Trying to Go 1 Week without Smoking Herb

....quitter...lol

Well, the day i made this thread, i ended up going all day and night without smoking, but i ended up taking 3 bong hits before going to bed. The next day,(yesterday) i actually felt alot better through out the day. More energy, kinda more social. Being that it was 4/20 tho, i ended up smoking quite a bit with my gf last night. Ive only been awake for about 2 and a half hours today and im already dieing to smoke. It kinda feels like i made this thread ages ago and that i should forget i even made it and go home and chief it up, but then im back where i started. One thing i absolutely need to do is what carne was saying about not smoking myself retarded. If i could get in the habit to just take a hit or 2 every other hour i think that would help. i was also thinking about what i said the other day about maybe weed just isnt ment for me. Usually i get sad when i think that way, but when i was sober thinking about it, it didnt seem so bad. If i didnt smoke weed, i kno i would still have the passion to grow it, and that can be some serious money made. And, i think my family would except it alot more if i honestly told them, i dont smoke it, but ive always had the passion to grow it. I can almost see them kinda supporting that. Ehhh thats me dreaming...

Fuck it smoke......................

cheers to that. i can always quit tomorrow

I know how you feel OP. I've been smoking heavy ever since i started growing.Its been about a month since i ran out of my last harvest's herb(which was literally the best weed I have ever smoked or seen,in person.) Man the shock from going from all that high grade shit to swag was harsh. Majorly. And now I'm stuck with no money for herb and 4 60 day wonders about 3 weeks out. *shakes head*

I only get heavy anxiety from weed if I don't smoke it every day. Which is why I prefer to smoke it all the time.

Agreed he should try different sativa's

Well, here i am again. Except today will be day 5 of no smoking! we basically had to smoke up everything we had, and then it took everything in me not to buy a little sack. The first 2 days were hell, after that its been a cake walk. I feel GRRREAT. More motivation, more social. This may be over the top but.... i think im gonna quit for good! or atleast for a few years so i can try to get a better idea of where im going in life. Now that my gf is graduating this saturday, lots of thing are gonna change! Im rich!!!! woooohoooooo. lol jk. But just because i quit the herb, doesnt mean i lose the passion for growing, and with that, i find a huge plus in the whole situation, because....i can kinda see my family supporting it. And these past few days im been thinking about what id tell them(its mainly my grandma's opinion that matters to me) And i think they would totally respect the fact, that i love to grow high grade weed, but i dont smoke it, it would be for people who truly need it...Anyways, thats where i am today. i feel great. things are looking good

I could go week without smoking before I started growing.. now that I grow, I be lucky to make it half day without toking some.

its dam near impossible when u got all that good bud in front of you. like it starts talking to u "smoke meeeee smoke meeeeeeeeeeeee"

Hows the quiting going? I took a three year break. Graduated college. Then smoke again. One thing I have learned is when the right time to smoke is. And it's hard not to smoke when you have. But moderation is key. A gram can last me one week, or one day. I smoke to feel better not to get trashed. One bowl in the morning and one when I get home from work.

Dont get me wrong in my heyday I would smoke a blunt when I woke up blunt on way to school/work blunt on way home and at least three blunts before bed.
Life willl pass you by in a hurry. So dont get trashed all the time so you can enjoy life's pleasures.

Its been kinda crazy lately. Its been about 2 weeks since we've had actual bud. Last night we were so bored and scraped some of our really old pipes, got about 2 hits each of reson. gagged a few times, but got pretty high lol. Im planning on getting a sack this weekend. My tolerence is back to normal. I just really need to learn not to get blazed out of my mind all the time. These past 2 years have gone by pretty fast, and all i can remember is me staying pretty blitzed the whole time. So my main goal is to control it now. If im smoking more than a gram a day, thats when ill try to dry out again.

I had THE WORST experiece 2 days ago. My gf is having a noticably harder time than me quitting, so she had the bright idea to drive into the next town and get some K2. Well, since K2 is banned now out here, the lady at the head shop reccommended Super Kush(sounds awsome) So we pay 40$ for 3 grams of this legal shit. Once we get home, i decide ill take 1 good hit from the bong and see what happens. Immediatly my gf takes 2 hits after i take 1 big rip. Within seconds i start feeling very trippy, like maybe the feeling of weed laced with lsd. It started getting so intense i started getting scared. The shit lasted about 24 hours. My gf was trippin out too saying " if somethin happens u can take me to the hospital right?" and i said "baby dont be that noob!"cause we have always kinda made fun of people that buy this dum shit from the headshop and end up in the hospital. But that shit was no joke. Now i just wanna get out of this state even more because wee, which is 100% safe, is illegal. Andthis bullshit at the headshop that will dam near kill your ass is perfectly legal......fucking stupid. Anyway i learned a lesson i guess and im nvr touching any of that headshop bullshit again.

I've seen some commercial growers spraying the plants with cocaine/heroin to make it more "potent", because it's really harvested too early and they wouldn't be able to sell that shit to anyone, so they found a gateway solution. Of course, they don't use crazy amounts usually, but you might have experienced just that. Or even worse, think about what happens if the grower puts some unknown chemicals into the spraying solution. Might be the case or not, just wanted to give you a heads up.

As for your anxiety/frequent mood changes, I really can't recommend anything else other than pure will power. You've got to realise the moment you're getting pissed and temper yourself down. Of course, this can't be done in just a couple of hours, but ultimately it's what we all as humans need to do in order to be better persons. This is what I've been trying to do since about a couple of years now and you have no idea how much will help in everyday situations as well. Always keep a positive vibe, try to see the funny side of the things, set yourself a goal when you feel down (ex go for a walk/bike ride/cook something/what ever other hobbies you have) and don't let little things get to you. Like for example not going out because you smoked some mj and you feel like everybody judges you. These inhibitions are again easy to overcome if you manage to get control over yourself.

It's a mistake in the first place to think that MJ is the cause of this (or anything else other than yourself, for that matter). That is the addiction right there and it's not physical at all, it's all mental and it only takes a second of self reflection to grasp that. Think about the people who are "trapped in time", like I like to call them. These would be the people who always seem to feel the need of planning ahead their whole week or month so that, god forbid, nothing escapes their schedule, not even light. You think these are happy people? Wait till they forget to do one thing on that list, like buying a milk carton. They will go through the same things as you, but for a very different reason, because they're addicted to having things perfectly timed. That's not a problem of course if you don't take it more seriously than you should. Otherwise we would all just have the same fixations. The mind is playing tricks my man, the real challenge is to avoid being tricked.

I hate being depressed, got through that shit in my childhood already, plus it seems to me like everywhere I look I only see sad and lonely people. I made a pact with myself not to be like that ever, and seems to me I managed to do so, for more or less; no one is perfect. I don't want to be rude or anything, it's just the way I feel, I think this is the healthy way to live, and I sincerely hope it will help you - and others possibly in the same situation. Changing for better, not worse, would be the ultimate goal.

Cheers!

I ONLY smoke herb occasionally so this would not make a difference

I smoked half an oz a day plus hash of top shelf dispensary bud for tree years all day every day then got busted. I'm eight months without smoking now, fuckin blows but it's pure willpower I didn't sleep or eat for days. I've always had exceptional self controll when necessary though.

i think the hardest part of quitting is finding something to replace weed. for me weed is like an activity, like playing sports or something. so when im trying to quit or take a break from smoking i feel like i have nothing to do, cus everyone i know is smoking and thats pretty much all they do. so i just try to work out and get exercise to take my mind off weed. its kinda sad how i dont really have any hobbies besides smoking or friends that dont smoke weed.
