[MEGA] Cannabis Quitting Thread aka I need a break

Not open for further replies.
i have been smoking only once a week lately which is fine. not buying weed is a tremendous help and so far i have only been mooching off people who smoked a fair amount of my weed in the past. i have to say that i miss it a lot less than in the beginning. every time i have gotten stoned the past weeks i didnt fully enjoy it. i am a more interesting and fun person when i am not high. when im high i become quiet and apathetic. it feels restricitve. i cant even hold a proper conversation with a friend cause my thoughts are always occupied with "meta-conversation".

i still really enjoy weed by myself or with a really close friend who understands that im different when im high. being high with people who i am not 100% comfortable with just creates weirdness for me and for them. since its difficult to smoke by yourself or with a select friend if you dont buy weed i will probably wont be doing much smoking in the future.
 
Hey CD. Summer school is owning my life right now - a total of 23 hours of lectures/labs on top of all the work that racks up due to the awesomeness of compressed courses.. The bong's been in the closet for a couple days now, and I don't really mind taking a break, to be honest; my tolerance is a tad higher than what I would like it to be, and cannabis was starting to lose its luster. I don't really have a specific goal set in mind, but I guess smoking will have to wait until I have the time to be high. Maybe 2-3 weeks or so?

What's really getting to me are my dreams/ sleeping. When I blaze, I sleep like a rock, but it seems that whenever I don't, I'll have super vivid dreams (this is expected), but I'll also wake up every 1-2hrs drenched in sweat. This totally screws with my sleep cycle, as I don't get the deep sleep I'm used to. Is this common? I'm assuming it'll go away in a couple days, but damn it's irritating as shit.

Hope the rest of you are going strong with your goals!

Every single time is the sameeeeee.

I stopped smoking daily months ago, but unfortunately I'm SURROUNDED by weed. Friends always smoking, and my house literally covered in weed from room mates. Whenever I haven't smoked in a week or two, I'm bored and theres nothing else to do the idea creeps in my head.

But every.single.time I hate it. It just makes me feel stupid and literally pass out within 2 hours. I wake up the next day groggy and feeling depressed for no reason. I can't think straight, and I can't function as normal. I function at %30 productivity 24 hours after smoking. It puts me off for 7-14 days, but by that time I sort of forget and maybe convince myself that this time will be differen't, like it 'used' to be.

I would rather be hungover from binge drinking than stoned or groggy the next day =\

THC Is the worst. (For me anyway, I know lots of people still enjoy it and I used to so eh)

I wish I could just %100 quit forever and never smoke again (Not for a few years at least).
 
In 1 month, I spend more on weed than I do my rent.
This needs to stop.
I'm not buying any until Friday. Because I'm completely broke.
I'm kinda freaking out about it. I'm pretty sure I've smoked every day for the past 5 years or something.
I have xanax rx though so I think I'll be ok.
I just need to chill out.
 
I'm about to run out too and don't wanna buy more. I'm nervous about not having the option to smoke, but I do skip some days every week and know it's possible, just can't imagine doing more than one day in a row.

the headspace , the relaxation, so sublime - also important for sleep. I'm tapering off opiate addiction currently, but it seems like those drugs I can definitely get off and definitely want to. with weed it's so much more complicated....

do people find that quitting from smoking like once or twice at night improves mental clarity and 'sober' short/longterm memory?

Taking a break until I leave for college.

I love MJ and it has helped me in every aspect of my life
-anxiety
-depression
-social anxiety
-concentration
-creativity
-productivity
-overall quality of life

but while i'm living with parents it just isn't worth it for me.
good look to all you T-breakers out there... it's hard to stay away from the green but you can do it for however long you need to.
stay strong /b/rothers
 
I've been going stir crazy. I feel off. I feel moody. I don't let things just roll off anymore, I get REALLY upset. This sucks!
 
Pillthrill you need to go out for a walk man!

Im about to go through mandatory rehab by my parents for smoking weed. Once they let me start smoking weed at home, they would see me do it morning day and night, and figured i had a problem. I had successfully stopped when they told me i was gonna go a few weeks ago, for 3 days. They said u dont go for three weeks, i kept blazin, what can i say, i love you mary jane,

They want me to change my ways completely, and i want to change somewhat (though i had to convince them i am gonna completely change from this, or i dont get to stay in school) to. I would like to start smoking weed only at night or when im done with a big day or something, smoking weed all day everyday hasnt been a problem, but i definatley feel like i crave it more.

Anyone been able to cut back from all day everyday to once a day? I think a break in this rehab will help, though its stupid as hell for them to spend a shitload of cash when i can do this on my own or outpatient, apparently i need "the tools to fight my addiction"'...whatever ill be lurking this thread till the end of summer..
 
Well could be that I'm quitting Tramadol at the same time.
And I agree rehab for weed is just stupid. So much $$ wasted!
 
Been smoking blends only for quite a few times. Going to start cutting back to just two times a day (after work, before bed). Then just before bed. I think I have enough blend left to get me too this point.

The synthetics are a nice help for me. Weird things is they do not have the burnout feel of cannabis. I'm finding my favorite part of the cannabis high is the afterglow you get for about a hour or two after you smoke.

I find the best part about synthetic blends is that many of them throw in a free lifetime supply of cancer.

No reason to be an asshole. Nobody really knows the answer to this question. I am more concerned with the impurities from the synthesis process then the chemical itself.

Its a joke. Chill out. And you should be concerned about both of the things you were talking about. Alot of big time pharmaceutical drugs are thought to be safe. Then 20 or 30 years later we start seeing some nasty side effects... You never know if these blends will be the same.
 
It's been about a month with no sticky-icky. This is the longest break I've had all year! I must say its nice to not spend my money constantly on green, plus my tolerance is way down. =D
 
I may be joining you all. Maybe.

pain clinic starting some rigorous DTs. Only way to reliably and cheaply pass all of em is to go legit for a while. Decisions, decisions.
 
24 days clean here.

I still really want to toke... :(
I think I'll need another month or so for it to be completely out of my system.

Playing basketball really helps to get my mind off it though.
 
ive been smoking 3-15 times a day every day for the last 2 months. theres so much superduperdank around i cant stop. i still cant decide if its good or bad haha
 
no need to quit smoking just try herbal incense (like serenity now and stuff) i started using it since im on probation let me know if u need a legit site to buy it from (since i got mine online i did a lot of research)
 
No matter what people say, weed forms psychological "dependence." Now, this doesn't even approach heroin and whatnot- that's not what people mean when they say it's "addictive," or that we "relapse" occasionally.
Weed, much as I hate to say it, can be an insidious little thing that creeps into your life, and then releases hooks and barbs to remain there, much like that one penis-invading fish.

Anyway, here's how I like to go about tolerance breaks (going from wake n' bake to no weed over a period):
1. Set an hour of the day to begin smoking that you think is reasonable based on the time you normally wake up. I wake up around 6-8 am, so I set my MINIMUM time for my first bowl to 11 am. Try to leave three to four hours of sobriety between waking and smoking. Repeat this the next day.
2. On the third day, don't smoke until two hours AFTER your original time. So for me, it would be at 1. As with before, repeat this the next day.

Continue repeating, adding two hours for every two days, until you hit bed time. Now you can smoke before bed, and ONLY before bed, for one week. Stop smoking after all that, and I promise it will be MUCH easier for you to give it up. And because of the gradual let-go, your tolerance has been allowed to lower naturally over time, allowing for a relatively short break (one to two weeks without weed) that would still put your tolerance at a vastly reduced level. You'll also find it's easier to acclimate oneself to enjoying activities sober if you're able to experience sobriety for some hours every day before getting high. This is what makes the eventual quitting MUCH easier.

It's tedious and takes more time than cold turkey, but if you find yourself in a situation in which you always have access to weed, or are regularly exposed to people who lure you back in, etc . . .this is the way to go. Of course, this would just be your base plan. Eating and exercise SHOULD be added, but if you're looking purely to lower your tolerance/recover your wits/quite entirely, then I believe this will help you.
