Don't show your son that you smoke weed untill he is much older to understand. Tell him young, he might get the 'if my mom does it, its okay' type of attitude. When he does get older, set him down and explain to him what you do and let him know its not a game. You have to be mature enough to handle it.

Weed

My dad smokes, and drinks too much sometimes. He's turned that around and used himself as a positive role model of what not to be. He's explained to me since I was little how those things have caused problems in his life, and how he wishes he'd never done them. To this day (mind you I'm only in high school), I'm one of the guys who WILL NOT smoke anything or do drugs, and have promised myself never to drink too much. He didn't tell me that he used to smoke weed when he was younger until not too long ago, since that may have been too much for a younger kid to comprehend properly, ya know. But anyways, his example, and attempts to cut back have been a good influence on me. I'm glad that he explained to me how horrible smoking/drugs can be and the same with alcohol, and I feel that it made me a better person. The point of this is so that, maybe, you can try to make a concious effort to explain to your son that addictions like smoking and drinking are bad, although you may not want to admit that you smoke weed until he's older.

thats something really positive that can come from heavy cannibis use, you want to help people not go down the same path. i know loads and loads of stonners, and a few smoke way too much, and do nothing with their lives, that for me is when cannibis become less of a recreational thing, more of an esential. when you smoke a lot of this shit, you get habits. today for the first time ever i found myself skining up as soon as i woke up, which was like 2pm. hence why i'm giving up, because i dont want my life to just pass me by, i want to do something with it. still i suppose clinton was a stonned and he was prez so maybe its not all bad
-
meh sod giving up, here comes budget enforced moderation

ok i have come to the conclusion that cannabis is actualy adictive. you might say that i'm wrong, whatever. i'm a real stoner, i do fuck all and genraly just smoke pot. now if i try to stop, i cant. i want a spliff. ive tried taking up smoking, drinking and even coke to get off weed but i just cant!!! i smoked all my stash and yesterday i found myself cleaning my bhong to smoke the oil, and today i collected all my roaches i had in a half ful can of beer and tried to smoke it, but it tasted like wet dog. while i love my herb, and always will, dont become a stoner, it isnt that much fun after a while. if anybody knows how to get cheap weed at 12:10am in hull pm me
-
I get that too. The first day is a bitch. You just reach for the pipe or bong but after you stop yourself the first day, its easy. If you do have problems keeping away for the first few days do this: Keep your mind off of it. Stay away from this forum (addictions forum) don't go to any pot related websites, no pot related music, no pot related friends. Just stay really busy. Stay away from whatever place makes you want it.

its sooooo hard.i last smoked on sunday night, and i'd be stonned now if i had weed. ive been smoking loads of fags, drinking shitloads, and well ive done desperate things to get stonned. i smoked my bong oil on monday night and i scoured my floor and smoked some wet roach ends on tuesday. i feel ok in the day, but avoiding monged stuff is hard as all my music is stoners music!!!!

Maybe you should actually seek drug help. I havn't smoked in a day or two and I havn't had a problem. I even have weed. Just told myself I need to take a little break and I am.

ive been debating if i should go to an NA meeting or not. i'm going to see my doctor tomorow to try and get something to help me sleep, because without my herb i cant get any rest and its driving me mad, although ive been putting it off because if i tell them i'm a heavy drinker/pot smoker i know they'l just tell me to stop doing that shit, which isnt the cause of my insomnia. as for NA, well i think it might help to go, but thats for people with real drug problems, people whos lives are sliping away from them, and while i'm not having much fun at the moment without drugs i dont know if i should go, plus its a pretty big hit to my ego and self respect if you know what i mean, but that all said, perhaps just talking to people who are in a similar position could reap rewards, i did some research on NA meeting round here and im considering going. ive tired drug helplines and the problem they have in this country is that they just try to be too laid back about it, and almost engourage you to go out and get stonned, so they are no help at all. i could just drink myself stupid, but then i'd probably end up an alcoholic so thats not a great idea. ah well, aint life a bitch

Try the meetings bro. I mean, I can quit just like that. I did smoke up twice today. Once at lunch and a few minutes ago. I can just stop here and go for a week if I want to. But, like I've said, thats just me. Cigarettes/fags I can smoke for 2 months, everyday and then just not smoke untill I want to. So I have pretty good control on my smoking, but drinking is harder if I drink regulary (hence the reason I dont). Try the meeting. Get out some of your troubles with a group of people going through the same thing. If you are worried about being seen, go to one thats a few towns over or whatever.

ok i'm off to narcotics annonymous on monday, there goes nothing.....at least i didnt drink yesterday. thats always helpful, but i did have 2 spliffs in the evening because i felt low. even worse is where i got the weed from, i made the joints from old roaches id kept in a can of half full beeer..... tasted foul. i think that made me realise that its time to do something about this
-
Thats good! Stick with it. No matter how stupid they sound or whatever, just keep with it. Lets us know how monday goes.

Pot is addictive. You are just one of the lucky people who never got addicted. I know people who are addicted to pot.

You are in school right? There is probably a counselor that you can talk to at your school who can help you out.

Do you listen to sebadoh

ok i'll respond to all 3 posts simultaniously, hows that for efficency1) yes i think pot probably is adictive, but only the REALLY good stuff like power skunk and purple haze, the rest never gave me problems.2)no i'm not in school, i'm at university but i dont want to use their services, i'm going to use genral NA tomorow3)ive never heard of that. i like propper music, like tallica and slayer and genraly heavy stuff. that and radiohead, ok computer is the ultimate stoners album

ok went to na today, was an experience. while i got some useful advice i didnt like the setup one bit, it was very 'god orientated' which put me right off, and i hate having religion forced down my throat. they also gave me the impression that they felt i was wasting their time as in 'you cant be a pot addict' but none the less i did learn a few things, and i'm feeling cheerier these days now. i havent smoked propper weed for..... 8 days, i still get bad heads and cant sleep but thats getting better, i dont wake up wanting to puke anymore. i havent been stonned for 4/5 days, i smoked some rough roach and my throat didnt appreciate. i'm not stoping weed, i might get stoned tomorow but i'll try not too.
i learnt that weed shouldnt be something that happens every night at a set time, usualy by 11pm i was wasted each night, but i'm going to change that. next time i have weed i'll just smoke 2 nights a week, give myself 2 days off inbetween sessions and hopefuly this change of pace will help me not be as much of a pot head..........
but we'll see. ive still got to stop drinking so much and give up smoking...... meh.
i'll keep ya'll posted, cheers for the help

What's the point of laying off, you'll just want it more when you're not high.
-
Yeah, so stay blazed all the time But, just deal with their shit. It might suck, but whatever. I don't think I could deal with the religious aspect, seeing how I believe in no god or religions, but I'm sure your differen't. Doing it every 2 days should be alright. JUST STICK WITH IT. Because you will, without knowing it, physc yourself that you need it and end smoking all the time. What I've been doing is just keeping it to the weekends (Due to lack of money right now) but I tell you, its fucking me up because I'm becoming normal, and I'm a total dick when I'm normal (More then when I have weed, I know its hard to imagine) One thing to keep you from smoking, is buy your session each time. Dont buy in bulk (I know it will be more of a bitch on the wallet, but if its not lying around, you wont smoke it) Anyways, when is your next meeting? I'm glad your feeling a little better about all of this. It will get better.

you guys just have no will power
