Anyone here quit weed?

[UltimateSource]

i dabbled in high school but i didn't really start smoking heavy until 24-25. I'm 32 now.

honestly in the beginning weed was a very positive outlet for me. brought me closer to my own emotions and I discovered my spirituality. weed helped me learn things about myself I never even knew was there to begin with. The knowledge I gained as a result of smoking weed led me on the path towards my career. plus everything was just more enjoyable when I was high.

but for the past several years it hasn't been about that at all...now I needed it to just to function. I smoke when I wake up, before the gym, before work, before going out, before bed... whether i was in a good mood, bad mood, or just bored. I've become too dependent on it.

Which is why I'm thinking of quitting. I feel like I'm at a standstill with everything and I'm hoping quitting will help me get to the next level.

Just wondering if anyone here has any positive experiences to share for inspiration.

Don't miss it at all. I smoked religiously everyday for 20+ years...but wasn't strong enough to quit completely when I wanted to. I was without a doubt, AN ADDICT. Caught a charge, placed on supervised probation with many years over my head which gave me the incentive and extra push to quit completely (got a head start with a small jail stint). Now the supervision is over, and I can smoke....I love my sober self too much to ever go back. You find new things about yourself you want to accentuate and that in itself is addicting. Mind is clear, dreams are vivid, confidence is unmistakable and unshakeable.

Do drugs Brehs.



Wonder why you never have any money because you spent on something you don't even need



IMO drugs (alcoholics, stoners) are for mentally weak people, can't deal with shyt in life so you'd Rather get fukked up

Yes stopped cold turkey. I noticed one day that part of my crew was doing nothing with ourselves but smoking weed and hustling enough to get smoke and club money. Felt like I was in a dark cloud. I knew my ancestors would be shamed. They didn't fight to live for me to be like that.

I said fukk it stopped smoking then cut them dudes off for the most part. Got my shyt together and am doing great.

I smoke very seldom now like once a year.

I promised myself I wouldn't smoke again until I was making 100k a year. Surpassed that goal and now I say I won't smoke until I am worth a million.

Very motivating, thanks for posting!

What do you do now?

I'm four months in and it wasn't by choice.
The first few weeks was rough but it ends up not being an issue soon.
Be lying if I said I didn't miss it, but I also don't need it.

In the same boat as you op. It started off as a fun thing then overtime I started getting bad anxiety from it. It's like it had the reverse affect on me.

its been 4 years for me. stopped so i could get a real job with benefits. i do wish i could smoke again but it would def be a different experiance now. i started smoking at 12 years old and stopped at 22. i damn sure would not smoke with other folk if i started again and i would have to find a strain i could handle. i started drinking more since i quit smoking. and im just about done with that also besides beer and moonshine when i can get it. the clarity is amazing tho

Almost had to ever since I started getting this sharp jolt of pain in what I can only assume is my heart after smoking a joint. shyt is quick but scary but I can only chalk it up to my ulnar nerve issue which came back and started fukking with my left hand again.

If I wasn't already vaping, I'da Prolly quit for like a month to see of it went away....don't think I want that yet.

Crazy to see this Thread

I actually decided to quit smoking yesterday and today's my first on the wagon lol I smoked all of my shyt last night

Like most said in here it started off great but then eventually found out to be more of a habit thing. I wasn't even getting high no more. Plus started fukking with my anxiety due to sensitivity for Sativa strains. Makes me feel better knowing others like me are on the same boat.

The longest i've ever quit before was 3 months

Good luck to everyone trying to kick the habit

I'm just over a year cold turkey. Job related reasons. Can't imagine explaining to my family that we will be in for a rough few months because I indulged in some loud. Once it comes legal federally I'll go back to smoking for special occasions (weddings, funerals, birthdays, etc)

Edit: sidenote Bruce banner is the fukking truth . I'll be going that route exclusively

Thats why I bumped this thread. Im gearing up for a very long break, im gonna go for three months, previous record was two back in October. My wrist healed up so I can distract myself with the gym again; when I messed it up I got very lazy and smoked hella loud. Ready to put it down for a long time, perhaps for good!!
