Who else randomly quit weed?

[Prometheus]

I smoked habitually for 18 years.

Wanted to stop for different reasons, but I always enjoyed it, so I never stopped.

From age 13 to 31, loved it always.

One day (recently), I simply stopped enjoying it. Ripped a bong and thought "Damn, I can't wait till this wears off. This feeling is annoying."

It's puzzling to me how it just flipped on a dime like that. It's simply not fun anymore. At all. Doesn't feel good.

Just me?

[moongaze]

Nah I've had those thoughts recently thinking why am I doing this. It's a waste of time...etc. But for me why I want to randomly quit is for different reasons.


I feel like I'm about to quit because I'm sick and tired of dealing with dealer(s). It's gotten bad to where I started selling/helping give to one or two people now it's gotten to where several people are regularly hitting me up for weed like I'm a big dealer. It's a pain having to get from my guy and telling people I don't have it because the bitch is not the best at meeting up in a timely manner. I'd like to just quit weed business and wash my hands of it all. Wouldnt be so bad if it were sold in stores and I didn't have to deal with anyone to get it. ****ing legislators forcing us to have to deal with dealers.

[DaHeezy]

I did and never looked back. Never really interested me.

What I don't like is how weed smokers always feel the need to blow smoke into people's faces who don't smoke weed intentionally. OP, does that happen to you ever?

[highwhey]

i stopped smoking weed bc it didn't really do anything for me.

i mean, i'm open to a blunt on the special occasion, but i'm not into the daily routine that it entails.

to your point of quitting something you're used to using frequently, i've long considered quitting alcohol bc i did drink a lot a couple years ago, and now that the stress from owning a business is getting to me, i've been drinking quite a few nights of the week which i don't like to do. i'm not getting drunk, but 4-5 beers affect my sleep and the next day i feel the lack of sleep. i'm used to keeping my drinking to one night a week max. i think drinking less would be healthier and would help me sleep a lot better, especially in the long term.

drinking is overrated, i'd rather take the edge off by playing ball or soccer.

:wtf:

Nah man, can't say it does. Sounds like just a handful of rude people you happen to know. Blowing smoke in someone's face is crazy disrespectful. Worth a bitch slap.

Alcohol is literally mild poison. It's also right up there with heroin and benzos as one of the absolute worst things to get addicted to. Do you know anything about alcohol withdrawal? It's worse than dope. Can be fatal. Don't take my word for it, do some research.

Luckily, it isn't as addictive, meaning it takes longer for your body to develop a physical dependency. So you're probably still okay - but dude - don't get carried away with that shit. It's a very dangerous game. Watch some intervention and see what true alcoholism looks like.

I drank in my teens and early twenties because I had a lot of friends, and it was a social thing. Now that my life is much simpler, spending most of my time with my girlfriend and family, I literally never do it.

Our world is in love with alcohol - throughout history it has been easier to produce and obtain, globally, and so here we are. But if you sit back and analyze it for what it truly is... you'll see that it's extremely dumb and destructive. There are lots of other drugs which would serve us better in its place.

If your drinking is escalating due to stress, I don't blame you. Many people turn to vices when stress grips them. But give yourself some reflection - take some time to think about what you're doing, both short-term and long-term. Severe dehydration, impairment, sleep deprivation, liver damage, not to mention it will help you gain weight. It's highly problematic.

I know I'm an asshole, but you would be wise to take my advice - finding healthy ways to cope with stress, rather than turning to poisonous vice, will transform your life for the better. What if you quit drinking, and signed up to a boxing gym? For likely the same amount of money, you would instead be giving yourself a fantastic workout for power and cardio, keeping healthy, slimming down, staying hydrated, getting enough sleep, building your self-defense capability... your confidence would absolutely skyrocket... and honestly, it would obliterate your stress much more effectively than drinking a pack of Modelo. Long day working on difficult projects? Ten minutes at the heavy bag and you will punch all that stress out of you.

I believe in you. Take care of yourself - you have to die someday, after all. Don't waste your time here.

[Draz]

I smoke like once every few months. The sex is amazing high.

Otherwise, I never craved it. I used it during depression. Very small amounts a few years back during my longterm break up, unsure if anyone remembered. It helped me. It also was a reward when getting good grades in school. I used it during my single life to get high and get head or fck. Best time of my life tbh but also the worst.

Doing it before sleep to numb myself and sleep.

I don't crave or think about it. I guess it's not for me. I know people who did it for years daily and they're just losers. My best friend was one until he became a cop this year. He dreams about it every day.

[Bosnian Sajo]

Idk what it is with the stuff these days, is it too strong or that my body is just handling it different...but shit would randomly give me mad anxiety. It wasn't every time, but there were occasions where I would smoke and wonder why tf did I do that, because then I couldn't sit still and would feel stressed for nothing.

When I was a teen, whenever I smoked I had an amazing time and felt wonderful. Just ain't the same these days.


Everything in moderation, though.

[ItsMillerTime]

Been a daily smoker for too long now. I've tried quitting, only lasts a few days before I start back up again. I've definitely slowed down over the years, though, I really only smoke now right when I get home from work and before bed to help me sleep.

[Levity]

nah. but definitely have cut back from what i was doing just 2-3 years ago. and now really only smoke bud at night when im at home relaxing, with the rest of the time being a stiizy pen

curious though. if you were a daily smoker prior to quitting, how were the dreams/nightmares post quitting? have heard they can be crazy. buddy who was a daily DABBER told me some intense stories when he went cold turkey

Bro for me they were AWESOME.


So ****ing detailed, nightly dreams that I would remember. Even the nighmares were dope af. Scary at the moment, but once you wake up it is a trip thinking back to the adventure you went through during your sleep.


HELL, I'd rackon that in itself is more of a "high" than you get from smoking the shit if you were a daily guy. You sound like you're in the same boat as me, weed went from an adventure when you were young to something you just do to relax when you're older. Them dreams are awesome once you stop man. I recommend giving yourself a 1-2 week break, not only for the dreams (as dope as they are) but for self control in itself. I know it may not feel like it, but if you're smoking every day you depend on that shit bro. There are no withdrawls, legit after 2-3 full days the cravings go away.


Give it a shot.

I went straight from smoking like 7 times a day, every day, straight to no smoking at all. Literally just because it suddenly became not enjoyable.

The dreams are IN. SANE. No other way to put it. The difference is, no pun intended, night and ****ing day.

It happens to a lot of people. They say people

[stalkerforlife]

I smoked a ton of weed for about a year from 17 to 18.

I had about 10,000 cash from my Dad's life insurance policy. I of course hated myself. I lived on my own starting at 17. I smoked all day.

My first GF broke up with me and I was in so much pain because I had no self-esteem and my self worth came from her.

Anyhow, I quit abruptly because I started to read the Bible and God touched my heart and healed my pain.

However, for the first 30 days after quitting, I contemplated suicide and murder. The only thing that helped me feel better was planning my suicide.

Weed is not for me. I can hear people thinking when I smoke weed and they have evil thoughts. It gives me too much information that I'm not supposed to worry about because only God can handle it.

I do not like to think a lot. Weed makes me think a lot.

F uck weed.

Don't ever take acid...

[Overdrive]

My life went to shit some years ago. Got sacked from my job, broke up, etcetc.

I didn't have enough money to regularly smoke and so the graving just faded away. When I got back on track I started to save my money, bought a motorcycle and can't be arsed to lose my licence over a blunt.

[BarberSchool]

Been a weekend dabber for years, but sometimes I just don't feel like it for 3-4months in a row.

[stalkerforlife]

Don't ever take acid...

My best friend when I was a teenager refused to do acid with me.

He said he feared for his life.

We did weed, X, and pain pills, but he refused to do acid with me.

So I never did it.

And I won't.

[tpols]

What


i knew a friend that was addicted to much worse things that said he couldnt smoke because smoking made him dwell on all his faults or insecurities or whatever...

it does put you inside your own head. for me ironically i dwell harder when im not high, when i am i just dont give a ****

when you do it too much it starts to feel like a chore.

and you just get tired instead of creative. and it gets embarrassing as you reach higher age.

alcohol is more classy and acceptable.

[diamenz]

i'd bet my left nut that 90% of the heads on this board haven't smoked some real deal ganja. i'm talking about pure tropical landrace sativas from places like jamaica, thailand, or even exotic strains from hawaii. the bob marley hippy 70's stuff. the shit that gets u higher and higher without a tolerance ceiling. high, not stoned. almost everything that's on the commercial market in the states is hybridized indica garbage that makes u braindead and turns u into a couch potato. it fades the f*** out of u. quality grown landrace sativas the other hand rival an lsd high and will open ur mind, give u mild hallucinations, make u extremely happy and basically put you on cloud nine. it really is a whole different beast from gimmick commercial strains like a blue dream or sour diesel... or girl scout cookies ffs.

grow your own.

Very stimulating effect, both physically and mentally, completely clean, that invites conversation, expansiveness and activity. Of moderate duration and initial power, but of great quality and without ceiling or tolerance limits, taking you higher and higher reaching the sky without restraint. When the effect fades it does not leave any kind of mental or physical heaviness numbness.

i sound like a salesman, but this is real deal cannabis.

It's been very well-established that the weed from the 1970s was of much poorer quality than what is available today.

Sounds like you're the type to get caught up in mysticism and hype.

Grow up, man.

Dudes are *******, any drug without death as a side effects from quitting cold turkey is meant to be quit cold turkey. I've had withdrawal. A lot of nausea. I still am smoking weed or trying to get weed in a lot of my dreams.

But Yea mainly the downsides of smoking are... Having to re up (weed wasn't legal when I effectively quit, even tho I quit forreal forreal now. Probably.), how much of a dick everyone is over weed. I smoked mad weed n wasted mad money when I had it, but I also threw weed at people like let's smoke. Smoked w people who would never see weed like that. Maybe I needed an ego boost but it felt good to show people some other shit. Like nah u don't need crack try this shit. But everyone else was mad stingy with their shit. And then the last thing is just its effects on body and brain. Once you quit you'll always wonder was it weed. Walk thru your house like hm wtf was I doing, damn, was it weed. Etc.

The main reason to quit weed is because it's not harmless and it's not sustainable. Still I mean id love to smoke a 1h once in awhile. When you don't smoke you can really get crisp off one of good weed. But I'm not trying to sit on a sack at this point in life.

I don't know if you can call it randomly, but I stopped eating an apple because it was a b*tch and/or a snake feeding it to me

this might be the part where we find our characteristics being related to that of Thomas Jefferson

You mentioned hearing peoples' evil thoughts when smoking.

On acid, that feeling gets magnified x1000 and erupts like a volcano. You can look into their eyes and travel down their memories like a high speed train. Everyone's soul becomes naked before you. Voices are like portals, you will slide down their vocal chords and straight into their very essence the way a child slides down a sliding board.

The experiences of psychic connection on acid are so intense, it is completely indescribable. None of the "hallucinating" like you see in dumbass movies. Rabbits and dragons don't appear in your living room. It's more like you are rapidly thrust into an extra-dimensional space that has always been there, but was somehow invisible. A strong acid trip makes permanent, irrevocable changes to a person. There is no turning back.

If I had your past, I would stay the f*ck away from it. Far, far away from it. You have your children and I know you love them the way a good father should. Better than my father did. Just focus on that, and on being the best ISH poster in history. Don't ever do acid.

Alcohol is garbage. The masses are deluded and stupid for treating it like the king of all drug experiences. It really is a shame.

[DCL]

went from lighting it up everyday to stopping cold turkey completely.

life, finances, relationships, work ethic, self-esteem, everything, etc. have gone up significantly ever since.

[Smoke117]

I barely smoke anymore. For some reason it's started making me anxious instead of chilled out and relaxed now.

[Celtics 1825]

Wouldn't really say I quit but more like I don't currently have a source. I used to smoke a few times with friends but I haven't seen those guys in a while. If someone hit me up asking me if I wanted to do it though I'd still be down.
