Smoking Weed, Being Chronic, Weening Off the Green

[JtotheIzzo]

I am basically off the weed now, I will smoke occasionally if I am at the right place and someone is offering, but I really don't see myself ever buying it again.

This is kind of an interesting spot because I spent about 5 years chronic and quite a few years as a daily toker.

I am not shitting on weed, I honestly believed I got a lot of good out of it, it kept me introspective, kept me from getting into too much trouble with my dick and kept me from getting in a lot of aggro related trouble (that dusting of paranoia that comes from being high isn't a bad thing for a horny and sometimes angry twenty-something male).

Being off the weed for the most part (I will never QUIT anything because I believe everything has a use in moderation) I notice myself being much smoother and sharper in business and social situations and have a much easier time commanding a room. A couple of years back I left a corporate gig to run my own business, so that pressure/responsibility made being high everyday an impossibility.

It is also a lot easier to meet people, back in the 'high times' we'd often stick within the crew and sometimes the crew inside the crew as it was most comfortable and fun, now the social is a lot more interesting and you actually meet a better standard of female (instead of meeting girls only at the late night meatmarket style clubs, you can meet cooler chicks at pubs and lounge bars earlier in the evening where in the past you were huddled up having a laugh with the boys.

I don't think I can ever go back to being chronic, but I do not regret my weed days, I learned a ton.

That is my cool story.

No wonder you have no sense of reality with some of the arguments you make.

You have done smoked yourself stupid.

Not really, I was playing ball at the time, so I was flushing out a lot of the gunk, and with weed you don't really take in that much smoke as you total intake for the day is microscopic when compared to someone who smokes cigarettes. Granted weed smoke is heavier, but not as heavy as to affect the totals.

Yeah, because smoking a j per day is like smoking a pack per day.

[9erempiree]

OP should smoke less and worry about his business. Instead of smoking and complaining about ISH. Work is a place to work not read ISH.

unfortunately this is not one of those jokes that get better every time you type it...


me, I'm in between phase 2 and 3. Don't smoke every day any more but I sure need my own. When a friend told me how much he's back smoking before work in the morning I was thinking common man we're not 16 anymore, you have to step it up eventually.
I can relate to a lot of things you said.

but I think I'll stay friends with it until the day I d.i.e.

Watch out with the irrelevant arguments

It's those wake n bakes that **** you up man.

I quit smoking weed during the day, I feel much better. I don't do the weird shit I normally do when i'm high, I feel much sharper smoother (like op said) and just more energetic.

And quitting weed isn't healthy for me because I get back to smoking a pack of cigs everyday.

I used to smoke heavily in high school and university, but I haven't touched the stuff in years now. Quitting was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
It made me lazy, complacent and antisocial. When you smoke a lot for a long period of time there is no benefit or positive effect. I would smoke just because I needed to smoke, or to numb myself and not care about my problems.
At this point I can't even imagine myself going back to it. Last time I had a few hits it made me sick and dizzy.

It's ok man. Smoking in your 20s (and even 30s) isn't even particularly bad for your long-term health. Studies have shown that quitting before 30 prevents any chance of smoking related illnesses, and 90% of those who quit before 40 never suffer smoking related illnesses. When you're young, your body can handle that shit.
