when and why did pot get old for you?

[JJ_in_DFW]

It got old when finally after many years of abuse I finally (again) dared admit that the negative effects far outweighed the positives for me.
And that delaying the inevitable was a matter of simple and despicable cowardice.

Quitting improved the quality of my life greatly and I mean so fucking greatly that I could cry for the years I've wasted in that hazy stupor, even though it all happened quite a long time ago.
Never looked back.

Finally.

YMMV of course.

good post

+1!!

I'm 16 and so tired of Pot. Amphetamines are just more practical. Weed and salvia are still good on the weekends sometimes though.

Grrrr......I hate this train of thought that people have that you have to grow out of doing drugs period. People have this perception that you have to go through an abuse period with weed or any other drug they do until they get tired of it, have done it too much, have their lives ruined by it, etc and then stop completely. That very way of thinking is exactly why these stupid laws are right about people not being able to be responsible with drugs, and they never will be.

When I smoke weed, I do it occasionaly and not just for the hell of it. If I can't sleep and really would like to get some good rest, then I'll smoke. Or there have also been a few occasions where I have been extremely stressed out/just went through a traumatic experience and I have gotten so frazzled and smoking a little weed has helped me calm down in those situations. Weed is great for that, and I don't ever expect to "grow out" of using it. Hell, I hope to reap the benefits of it for those purposes my whole life, it would be a shame not too....since it serves such a good purpose in that respect.

Now, if I was using it all the time just to get fucking stoned then yeah of course I would want to grow out of that lifestyle. I fucking hate potheads.

I think it's a shame when people abuse a drug so much that they have to completely give it up later on in their lives. If they had only been responsible with it from the beginning they could still continue to enjoy it in the right settings and have a good balance with it so they could still enjoy the good/fun aspects of it every once in a while as long as they live. Abusing it completely ruins that for them. All I have to say is...."sucks for them...."

I've never gotten tired of weed, its my old standby, I don't have to worry about ODing on it, and its very peaceful for me.

ive smoked for about 6 years now, and just recently i've just gotten tired of the same thing every day. tolerance way up, just getting faded munching out mass, then getting real tired and passing out.

then i just took a break for 2 weeks and went back and it just made it that much better.

so when you get sick of it just stop for a week or 2

i used to have horrible panic attacks after smoking for like a year. But im being treated for social phobia with zoloft and self medicating sometimes with a little beer. i really don't get to paranoid or socially anixious nearly as much as i i used to and its been getting better.

I didn't like smoking pot a while back and was a bit of an elitist in thinking everyone that smoked was stupid and they were missing out on the amazing feeling of coke/pharms/rolls/anything else. I stuck it out through a while of smokign with major anxiety/paranoia but now I feel just amazing when I smoke. At the end of the day it's your little buddy that's always there for you, when you're at home and coming down from a roll and you need a little comfort. I hate those that obsess over it, it's smoking weed, no need for magazines, a million pipes, non-stop activism and preaching the philosophy of marijuana as gods gift to man blah blah.
