Weed

---

hey everyone its been a while since i posted here....

i gave up pot over xmas, and i felt so good. like really really good, i had loads of money, i was never tired or 'too stoned' to do shit. then when i got back to uni i got myself hooked up with some weed, just for social occasions etc, it lasted me about 3 days and it was all gone, a whole quarter of skunk. it sucks because i want another one now, i really feel by doing that i undid all my hard work by doing that, and guess what? i feel like shit now i dont have my weed. back when i was a total pot head id have just got plain drunk every time i didnt have weed but this is a path i'm avoiding. i duno, i feel so low at the moment, it feels like the world has moved on but left me where i am, my friends at uni are so fickel and my friends back home seem so different now its like we speak another language. i just dont know what to do, im tempted to buy some weed and wallow in myself pitty but ive realised that thats going to get me nowhere at all, i just feel so lost and insecure at the moment......

isnt life grand?

(oh and incase you didnt notice ive been avoidint this forum because it reminds me of weed)

Why did you break down and buy the weed?? It's like alcoholism. You can't take a sip here and there. It's all or nothing. You say you felt great while being off weed. STAY OFF IT then.

the thing is, i like smoking weed. i like being stoned and messing arround, its great fun!! when i had that weed i made a prommise not to do it all at once and i failed that completley. i will keep doing it but i think a break until next friday is in order, then i will pick up the joint again and smoke away possibly. if not then then i'll try to make it through next month without weed. hopefuly

Just as many alcoholics like being drunk or other drug users like the high they get. Sometimes you have to fight temptation tooth and nail.

im really confused. while i love smoking weed socialy i cant just have it socialy, its gotta be all the time, every night. after ive been smoking a spliff every day for a few days i find it really hard to sleep without it, i managed 3 hours last night...... anyway back to my point i dont want to be some pothead loser but at the same time i dont want to quit and stop totaly, i just want to moderate my ussage. does anybody thing thats a possible/good idea?

I agree with SDP when he said "all or nothing". I don't think it's a good idea to try and moderate.

For people like you, moderation and social smoking is not an option. You have too many issues with it. I smoke (cigarettes) now and then. Sometimes I'll smoke alot, sometimes socially, sometimes none for a long time. I can go without it. I can moderate. If you can't, then you need to stay away from it completely. You said you felt better without it when you quit for a while. Don't you want to feel better ALL the time???

i'm not smoking weed now, yet i dont want any. i'm not giving up totaly because i dont want to, but i'm not smoking it constantly because again i dont want too. i'll just smoke it when its free, and wish for it when its not

i know this thread is considered dead...but burn all of your pot and shit somewhere, or sell it and then stay on this forum away from the people with drugs and QUIT!!!

weed is bad, and will lead you to utter dispair.....

now that i got that outta the way, don't sweat the small shit you'll grow out of it. atleast i did, i mean i'll smoke if i have nothin to do. but dooooooooood, i cant help myself when that good ol' hash oil comes around. so hit it hard! better yet go get some hairy and smoke that shit if you wanna see what real addiction is. drug's like sex, is just something you'll go do and learn from. it all builds character. (our experiences) :wink:

In reply to:i know this thread is considered dead...but burn all of your pot and shit somewhere, or sell it and then stay on this forum away from the people with drugs and QUIT!!!OK, why? Did God tell you this, or is there a reson you say this?In college I hung out with people who smoked a lot of pot. It was almost never smoked during the day, except on weekends. By the third year, it was an occasional thing. By the fourth year, it was a rare thing. When college was over, I doubt that many people I knew missed it that much.However, I did see people developing into alcoholics. That's a much bigger problem, and the substance is legal. People would smoke dope and get smiley and mellow; people would get drunk and break things, get into fights, and set stuff on fire. Marijuana seemed like the better choice in a dormitory environment.But people can get psychologically dependent on all kinds of things, every if they're not considered psychoactive (ice cream is a good example). If there is research concluding that pot (or the new strains of pot) is physically addictive, could someone point me to it?

In reply to:and you can talk for hours. I don't need weed to do that chuckle I have never smoked it and don't see the draw to be honest....

Well, if you don't try it, then you never will know. But that's OK.

I've sampled various drugs. Marijuana is OK up to a point. I was not at all impressed with the other stuff.

My bad for addressing the thread, and not the original poster in my last message, so here goes: If you're physically or psychologically dependent on some substance or behavior, to the point that it's having a detrimental affect on your life, then you need to seek out help. Dropping out of school and wrecking personal relationships, for example, is a lot more negative than the euphoria induced by pot is positive.

Alcohol is a bigger problem then marijuana. Alcohol is so much cheaper and easier to get. I dont drink often because I feel I lose a degree of control I had, that I dont feel I lose while on marijuana. But like I've said before: MODERATION IS THE KEY!!!! If you have a glass of wine when you get home from work or a beer, thats fine. But some people come home and down a 12 pack.

Yup, totally agree. I wonder if marijuana would be a much bigger "problem" if it were legalized.

Actually for high school, here. Alcohol is a lot more complicated to get and hide. Our teachers check everyone's drink. Marijuana is passed out like candy. Some kids smoke joints in the campus and teachers sometime join in....

ya know i can't remember where i heard it...i think maybe "Loveline" on MTV but they said that one problem it can cuz for SOME guys is lowering their testosterone levels. and i don't mean just fuckin with your sex drive but in some cases it also INCREASES the levels of estrogen the body produces to the point where you're friends start callin you "Jugs". I don't know how true all that is and it's kinda horrible but i really don't give a fuck because damn it i LOOOOOOOOOVE the bud!!!!

In reply to: they said that one problem it can cuz for SOME guys is lowering their testosterone levels. and i don't mean just fuckin with your sex drive but in some cases it also INCREASES the levels of estrogen the body producesI've read exactly the same thing, but I've never met anyone who was affected that way.

In reply to:I know you're a STONER, smoke if you must, the fun will wear off eventually. Wait till five oh pops you a few times and your life doesn't progress as it should, you'll see...Tell me, can you be totally stoned and get the best grades possible, study to your potential, and write the very best term papers? I doubt it. But, maybe you don't want to be the best you can be.... The fun won't wear off if you try different strains and take a couple breaks. People who are smart know not to go to school high, or write term papers high. I want to be the best I can be and I do get good grades, weed has nothing to do with that. I do it as a hobby and the only reason people think it's bad is because it's illegal. I saw a FreeVibe commercial the other day that showed how drugs ruined the person's life, in fact, a lot of stories are similar. They show that the person with the weed problem got caught by the police and that was the start of their problems. Maybe the problem is that weed is illegal? If those people never got arrested, FreeVibe would have no commercial. That guy's life wouldn't be messed up. It's ridiculous. Like with alcohol, there is a responsible way to smoke weed. Like with alcohol, weed can cause people to do stupid things that could kill them. But people think weed is so much worse than drinking alcohol and I don't understand that.

Here at UCSD (where I work) there is a research study on how cannabis can help people with neuropathy. It involves a double blind study where the participant is observed while he/she smokes joints for 5 hours a day. Neither the participant nor the scientist know if it's the real stuff or the placebo (but even the placebo looks, smells and tastes like Chronic). Wouln't you know that people feel as if they're high even after smoking the placebo? It's psycological, PSYCHO-LOGICAL. You can't be in the study if you're an avid smoker, so don't ASK me.
