Calling it quits.

    What's up, guys? I've been an active member on these forums for quite some time now and I just concluded that I'm calling it quits.

    When I first got introduced to the ganj, it was a great thing. It was such a nice thing to just sit down with your buddies burnin' it down. I was never really an active smoker until about 6 months ago. I then started to toke every day after a long day of work, or whenever I had nothing else to do. The herb got so popular throughout my teen years, it's just about what -everyone- did.

    Sure, it's nice, but then my friendship with all of my close friends started to revolve around pot. I can't tell you how hard it is to go back to the good ol' days where we'd actually -do- stuff. You know, like go out to eat, a night of bowling, going out and actually doing stuff. Instead, it was just smoking blunts every night.

    It's to the point now where I can't even hang out with some good 'buddies' without throwing down $5 on an L or bringing bud. At first it wasn't a problem because I -always- had enough herb to share. I smoked out all of my so-called 'friends' countless times. Everything was going well until I just didn't have as much bud as I used to. I used to be the nice guy always smoking my friends out, never leaving them with the hassle of throwing down $5 all the time. I did this because I thought it would be the right thing to do as a friend.

    Well I was wrong.

    It came to my attention that none of these so-called 'friends' ever has the decency to call me and smoke me out in return. My phone stays silent unless something really big is going on, then it'll ring. It's just fucking amazing how courteous I was and I get absolute shit in return. Nothing. Zip. Nada.

    Because of this, depression started to arise. There really isn't much to do around here because everyone just sits around and smokes all day. I got sick and tired of it and decided to call it quits. A few minutes ago, I just a fucking rampage and snapped my phone in half because of how ignorant people are in this town. They just don't give a fuck. All of this drama and bullshit just leaves me with the only decision to quit. I had a great time here and I've learned a lot. I'll still be a visitor, just not a poster. Thanks for everything guys, I;ve realized bud isn't for everyone.

    Well at least you gave it a try and had some good times in the process. I don't think you should let the actions of others effect your thoughts on herb. It sucks how some people can be.

    Iv been in the same position. Some kids are more concerned about weed and getting high than other more important stuff. Mabye you know smoking weed has passed for you, you don't have to be pissed off about it.

    Sounds like me and my friends only my friend are my true friends. But u gotta find some friends that smoke, but there lives dont revolve around it. You know get high and go bowling, or even just go bowling. I think bud isn't the problem for you its your friends. But at least you gave it a shot.

    Hey man, first of all I want to throw you a +rep because I can really relate to your story. I have taken the perspective that I have initiated the smoking, for example I will offer to smoke, therefore they will join in as well. However, if my friends start to pressure me when I am around and have bud r call me up just to smoke, I get frustrated and don't pick up as much or try to get something in return (cash, food, etc.). I can tell that you are a good guy. My problem has been that I want everyone to like me, I am a passive guy who wouldn't say anything if cut in line, although I would be raging inside. Here is my token of advice, so take it for what it's worth. I am trying to phrase this so I don't sound cliche...Try to be sure what other people's motives are and remember that alot of tension can be created that is completely misunderstanding of another person. I am no way saying that you aren't being used just to smoke, but I am saying that there are certain tactics that you can use to assure tourself that there is a reasn to cut of a friendship. Get pot out of the conversation, try to avoid it while hanging out and see how they react. If they seem less interested in you, they are pricks that aren't worthy of your company. I have a buddy that I always tke up with, but we only share a single bowl and I am deff a bigger pothead, and he will still chill with me without pot. Also remember that some kids just don't think about calling people up. I am actually one of these kids. I get paranoid that no one likes me so I am always delighted to get a call, but if the other person took the same stance we would never hang out simplky because we are too reserved of people. I really hope you don't give up the herb, because it can be such a great asset in making decisions and realizing yourself. Maybe smoking by your self a little while will take some of the anxiety off you and you may get some new insights into these things. Best wishes!

    ;)

    man that sucks bro. I agree with a previous poster that the problem is most likely your friends. I've had "friends" like that before. Actually just last summer there was a group of kids that i used to chill with all the time. they're 19-20, and i was 22. Needless to say, virtually every time i showed up anywhere they were, they'd be like, "hey man, you wanna go buy us some beer?" Well, they've started turning 21, and i haven't heard from any of them in months. well, i've heard from the stoniest one, but that's cause he's just cool as shit.

    now, most of my friends don't smoke the green. I've got about 4 guys that i toke with, and the rest just chill. see if you can't work something like that out.

    Thanks for the comments guys.

    I really just can't drop the herb cause of this, I'm just putting it down for a while and really trying to start a new life.

    I just got into lifting/running recently, so I'm trying to cut down on the herb to only 1-3 days a week now so it doesn't interrupt my strict schedule I'm on. Thanks for the input everyone.

    No offense man i mean its your life and you can do what you want, but i hate when people say the herb interferes with their lives. Just think of it simply. If i have time to blaze ill blaze if i don't have time then i don't blaze. Its that simple. You don't have to make a big deal out of it saying the herb is interfering because its the the herb its you.

    I see what you mean, and thats a good reason to quit. But hey, a joint every now and then wouldn't hurt?
