Do I need to stop smoking weed?

You need a break. Don't blame Marijuana. Its your fault. Its hard to get ass off that couch

 

You're the only one who can decide to quite or not. If yours not ready yourself to quit no amount of advice will help. However if its hard for you to stop and you want too, any treatment facility will tell you people, places and things. Meaning anything that reminds you of cannabis must go. If you hang w/ people smoking it will be harder, if your around weed, pics of weed, places that remind you of weed, anything weed related goodbye

I've smoked weed for 45+ years (never cigs) and am now retired. Mayhemtokes420 - it is nice hearing someone here actually thinking this through and trying to figure things out. There is MUCH more to life then cannabis.

VERY true story - My best friend from 1st grade is 300% below poverty level and has smoked every day and has had a very unproductive life because instead of doing stuff he would get high which in itself is doing something. I wrote that BEFORE I saw the above quote (sorry - I was skimming your post).


With that said - who is to say if not for weed he would be an alcoholic.


I made the decision 20 years ago that I wanted weed in my life but I wanted to control it and not it control me. I don't smoke every day but 2-4 times a week.I don't get baked (normally) but have an attitude adjustment. I enjoy NOT being high at times and I had a pretty darn good successful life and am living the good life now (retirement with $$ is WAY WAY better then you can possibly imagine).


I think many "young" people are so into their life NOW they don't realize just how long their life will be and how awesome it is when they get older and have not screwed things up when they were under 30.

 

If it's causing these kinds of problems you need to stop and possibly get some help for your addiction issues.

 

wtf is a typical stoner?

if you begin to see it causing the slightest amount of problems then i would stop, it looks like you let it go on too long and now your in a tough situation. take a good few years break and when your ready to be responsible and have your shit sorted then go ahead.

i think he means a stereotypical stoner.

 

I grew up poor and quit for decades because I wanted more out of life than to be drunk or high all the time. Why even mention the poor part? Well because once you have lived in the ghetto (rough one in Memphis) and lived with no money on a regular basis then you know how bad things can get. I wanted out of there permanently. The weed may be a causal factor but as a previous post said its more up to you than any other outside influence. Ive known people that made pot their lives and they are still poor, most work for close to minimum wage if at all and we are all in our 50s. I'm retired living well in a middle class neighborhood. Tells me I made the right choice on top of having a bit of luck. Had I smoked while looking for a job I would still be in the ghetto. No doubt in my mind.

 

Seriously OP life is what you do. When you choose to spend life in front of a screen having spent all your income on Marijuana and nachos, thats your life you chose. Decisions decisions decisions


I long time ago decided Im better off dressing and eating for comfort, not fashion nor health, grew a wild full beard. Im better off divorced, sleeping in a sleeping bag on the floor, having meals at homeless soup kitchen and knowing I will never own a car or house or home (I rent). When I tell people that, they give me funny look. I do what I want

 

Dude...the tldr made me laugh my ass off...lol still laughing.

This thread is actually kind of inspiring. To hear stories from people that have been smoking weed for longer then I've been alive. That quote in the op is the game changer.

Here's my advice: If you don't want to do it anymore, then don't. Strive to be who you want to be and work your ass off to get there. Don't take no for an answer, remember nothing is unobtainable, and knowledge is power. No matter what you choose, be the best at it that you can possibly be.

Greatness is earned, not given. Best of luck in your endeavors, my friend.

Honestly man you need to organize yourself in lift. I'm only 19 and I do smoke weed, not very often, I go crazy ham when I have a week off college. I think you have to set your mind straight and go for what you want. I use to be an overweight kid and I changed went to getting fit. I was super bad in high school up until my junior year I changed and did good for those last two years. It's up to you to find your happiness and get yourself back on track, I started smoking weed last year more often and I was close to quitting college because I was just too damn lazy and unorganized and I fixed it by motivating myself to get my stuff straight. Now I'm on track and almost done with my dental assisting certificate, although I will miss the ganja . Anyways OP Goodluck we all know you can do it!

Honestly it sounds like your situation is dire in the sense that you need to change your act around. I recommend quitting weed for 3 months, I believe that is more then enough time for anybody to clean them selves up, this will allow you to get a good job and start to become your old self without weed. I love weed but to much of a good thing is bad as everyone knows I recommend finding another thing to keep you busy that will also get you at a more sociable place then now, even if walking around or hiking is your go. After years of use of weed it may seem like your addicted but in reality you've become emotionally attached because when one thing is not their bud is. Go out and meet people that you share interests with to keep you on a good track. I wouldn't go to a bar seen but you catch my drift, and never put yourself down, but don't go out with high expectations, just live life day to day and start a good life for yourself so one day you can sit done and take a bong hit once you have done the hard work in the past. Life is hard and weed does make it better but the reality you can't have everything as easy when you smoke so putting it to the side is not a bad thing. You can become healthier also(not saying your fat), you will feel so much better after a month and hopefully a good job opportunity will come your way but if you have to take a shorty job til then.
I wish you luck in 2016

 

This has to end something you really want to do. I quit cigs when my mom had lung cancer that was realmotivation

 

Good luck it idt,S DOABLEs

 

If you're a young guy and aren't making buckets of money then maybe it's time to come up with a better plan.


Taking a job that piss tests, and a girlfriend who hates weed will probably conflict with your decision to smoke. So that's not a very good plan. Get yourself some trade skills, it's nothing to be ashamed of, bought me a house in my 20's. Keep telling yourself that someday you will go back to college if it helps. You're not poor because you smoke weed, you're poor because you make bad decisions for yourself.

 

Make a list of all the things you've said you would do over the past couple of months and work at that. It will help you to focus on something other than smoking. It's good to have your goals clearly written out for you. That being said, it might be the sheer thought of not being able to smoke that's psyching you out! As long as you get about your business and keep your priorities straight there's nothing wrong with smoking after a long week or even occasionally day. Also, working out gives a great natural high and tires you out so you can fall asleep easier.
