I quit smoking cannabis 2 years ago? -
but over the last month i-ve been smoking it daily again.
now i-m trying to stop again and have not had any since last tuesday, but since then i-ve been feeling a bit grotty - headachey.
I know i could smoke some as its lying upstairs - i would soon feel -better- but i want to stop for good again.
anyone else had troubles like this?
before i quit two years ago i smoked daily for about 16 years - I really do not want to do it anymore :~(
wow, why ?
It-s because you-ve had a break from it, so it seems much stronger- give it to a mate or chuck it out if you wish to give up.
Otherwise- keep smoking it and expect the consequences. I-m giving up drink at the moment- can keep upright on 3 bottles of wine, but if I had one now, after the break I would feel tipsy on two sips!
I-m no party pooper but it ain-t rocket science that this stuff ain-t good for your body- neat grass which is mild is maybe ok in small doses as is a glass of wine- but three bottles or loads of skunk made from chemicals is not.
Good luck- go for giving up if you can. When it-s not enjoyable- what is the point? you-ll feel better, look better and be healthier- not a lot to lose then!
just treat it like you would normally with nicotine, coz withdrawl is withdrawl, no matter what drug it is.
to give up smoking, i kept as busy as possible, coz i found that when i was bored the cravings really got bad.
Find things to do...exercise, call a friend, go out for a walk etc.
Hope this helps, you have done great giving it up again, dont quit quitting!
You need alternatives, walking, volenteer work, a new excercise program( I avoided this for years and now that I do it I love it).
New hobby or something to pour yourself into. Habitat for Humanity always needs help.
You can also visit a group called -Celebrate Recovery- which is for all kinds of addictions.
Man I know where you are right now. Really the only thing that helped me was to not have it in my house at all. Either flush it or finish the bag and stop for good. When you are a daily smoker and you want to stop but your just lying around the house bored you will have the need to smoke. So get rid of what you have get it out of your mind and erase your dealers number from your cell phone. Best of luck to you.
smoke till you get sick
what you-ve gotta do is lose your dealer-s number. you might be goin thru mental or emotional withdrawal, mainly b/c simply put, everything is more fun when you-ve gone bonkers from smoking.
if you plan on quitting, the next few days would have you feelin out of it and grotty. just eat lots of fruit (grapes and apples are delicious!) as snacks instead of smoking. those $10 can go towards buying mixed fruit instead of a bag of goodness.
good luck!
Was in true cannabis, ie green bush or that shite resin people call cannabis what contains brick dust and bob martins dog tablets etc?
If people only smoked a natural source that wasn-t a strong hybrid with abnormaly high THC, didn-t mix it with tobacco and only smoked it twice a week, there would be NO problems.
Reminds me about the guy who wanted to quit smoking cigars. He said -Heya doc, I wanna quit smoking cigars. Can you help me?-
The doc said -Try this: before you light one up, stick it up your butt as far as you can-.
Two weeks later he returned and said -Heya doc! I have great news! I quit smoking cigars! But now there-s a new problem...you see, I aquired this likeness of shoving cigars up my a.........-
Hey hey hey hey.............
Smoke weed everyday!
Good luck to you.
Aim going through the same, I stopped yesterday - I know how u feel, Pls stop. It costs u time - money.
Its called addiction. And withdrawls.
ooh, ick- give it away! I know how it feels.. you come down, feel crappy, so you smoke more and feel better. Good luck, love. You should just finish it all at once- throw a party- then stop buying. Thats all i can tell you.
send it to me...
;)
16 yrs on weed oh my i-ve heard it all now. whenever you get the urge to smoke another reefer, do something else like make some herbal tea or eat some fruit
then eat it...brownies, yoghurt, whatever floats your boat.
Have a couple of day a week free from draw, it will clear your head and make you feel a lot better.
do something else to preoccupy your time away from any one else who might do this with you! just don-t sit around or you will keep doing it
NO I don-t use illegal drugs.
just like any addiction it take time and will power, you should really chuck everything that reminds you of smoking out, my friend dabbles and finds it very hard to stop, its all about habits, do something different to occupy your mind and you will feel better in a couple of weeks when it is all out of your system the grotty feeling is your body getting rid of the toxins
good luck
Then if you really don-t want to do it you won-t.i-ve never really thought about stopping ,its something i-ve always done.i think when you can over come the having to smoke it all day and just have one or two in the evening then you can control it better.
good on ya.
Don-t give in, stay strong, you are doing well.
Why dont you wanna do it anymore? Smoke til you die homey!
y y y y y y y y y y..??
ok, if you try to shut yourself off cold turkey, it will be the only thing you think about. So maybe try this. Limit the amount of hits you take. Become the one-hit-wonder. You DO build up an immunity to pot, and if you start smoking it like a cigarette, you will be taking too much.
BUT, here is the kicker, When you take your single or double toke, GO DO SOMETHING ENJOYABLE - CONSTRUCTIVE. Put on your headphones and go running in the park. Start assembling a model airplane, fly a kite, what every fancies your tickle. Just do NOT watch tv, lay on your bed or play video games.
This should help you from falling into the -smoke and do nothing until the couch as an imprint of my butt on it and I-m destined to become a big fat loser of a couch potato because I spend all my young years doing zero cause I was high all the time- syndrome.
Mate why are you smoking it again? Have you been having a stressful time lately, or are you bored?
I think you should quit again and consider moving from the area. At the moment you still have contacts who can get you weed. If you moved to another part of the UK where you didn-t know anyone, you could make a fresh start.
Get a job if you don-t already have one. Go to the gym after work or go running for free. Find SOMETHING to do: anything to keep your mind off the weed and stop you getting bored!
Don-t beat yourself up about this relapse. Smoke the rest of it if you want to, as a final goodbye, then vow to never touch the stuff again.
Sometimes we go back to old habits because we don-t realise how bad they are for us. I smoke (normal cigarettes), but I-m planning to quit some time next year. When I do quit, I plan to read loads of horror stories about what it does to your body, in order to keep me away from it. You should do the same.
Incidentally, I worked with schizophrenic patients for a year and about 90% of them were heavy cannabis smokers. It really messes your head up and unfortunately once the paranoia switch has been flipped, you can never flip it back. Trust me, you don-t want to head down that road. Say goodbye to it and start fresh. You can do it.

DON-T DO IT IT-S BAD FOR YOU THROW IT AWAY AND NEVER TOUCH THE STUFF AGAIN BOOOOOOOOOOO DOWN WITH CANNABIS
It is supposed to be non-addictive, which as you know to your cost is rubbish. However it is mainly a matter of choice, especially if you have only been on it again for a week.
Remember it may damage your mental health, giving you an increased risk of both depression and schizo affective disorders. More worrying, especially in your case as a chronic abuser, it causes brain atrophy=shrinkage, this is cumulative and results in or accelerates dementia. The more you smoke the higher the level of brain damage, stop again now before it becomes even more difficult!
Yes! Tell yourself its not an option at all and your life will be so much better. Its not harmful but it just stops you living your life
well, it is with any thing that anyone is addicted to, once we stop we feel tired, **** up...so we take more and for a while we feel okay, until we have to take it again, and again and again!
But really if you want to quit... you just have to go through this period of feeling rough and all, I don-t know when it will stop, it is different for everyone... but more power to you, as you state you have the stuff upstairs and albeit you feel like crap you have not taken any that takes will power which you must have lots of... don-t worry.... you have to get worse until you get back to as you were before you took any drugs, it is like a spot it gets worse before it goes completely.
I think you are very strong, not only did you put this on here.. so you hang in there... wish I had that much will power!!! Good luck to you.
i got the same problem mate been smoking it every day for the last 10 years im smoking it right now i wish i never but i aint got the will power to stop if u stopped befor u can do it again u got to say no i cant lets hope u can
