365 days down

So I've been smoking for about 3 years now and just finished smoking every day for a straight year. I chose to do so because I really wanted to know myself what the effects of continual mariajuana use were. I figured smoking about 1-1.5 g a day on average would suffice to give me enough reason to make the observations that I will. After a year, I can say that number one and overall, marijuana has made my life much better. I have a better sense of well being and calm even while increasing my workload with school and work (work full time, school part-time). I haven't ever had a problem getting up early (about 7 or 9am) and doing what I have to do each day until I get home at midnight during the weekdays despite smoking at night every night. I will admit that i have tended tot feel a bit groggier in the mornings and a tad more tired but that eventually wears away after the morning gets going. I've never felt the need either in this whole entire year to smoke because I had. Never felt like "I have to have a smoke or im gonna freak". As a matter of fact, I'm taking a break here in 2 days for 2 weeks to reduce my tolerance. In the end I can say that smoking has given me a much different view on life as well, helping me look at situations from a different perspective. The high itself has definitely gotten much duller over the year, but two things still remain golden at high time: music and munchies Just thought I would share my thoughts on what I've done and hopefully those of you who have done the same would agree that marijuana, no matter how much you smoke n toke, doesn't have to be the center of your life and that you can still succeed with it. It's only a distraction if you let it be.
