@op i have the same problem. something that helps for me is treating getting high like a reward for pursuing my goals. I’ve recently been studying to get my certs and I make a vow to myself every day that I won’t smoke until I get in at least one study session
or sometimes, I’ll smoke and study at the same time to put myself into the habit of enjoying what I’m doing even while I’m high. but that’s a riskier route so i usually just wait to smoke lol
I did edibles only a handful of times and smoked only 2-3 times.
I have Stoney patch kids in my pantry. I have to try really hard not to just get high, I only keep them for when the hoes come over.
I have an addictive personality definitely
What is Stoney patch kids?!
I use to, I always say if you can get past that first day not smoking, it get way easier as you go. That craving you get that first day basically start fading away. I’d suggest rehab if you really have a problem tbh.
i've quit for extended periods before, like over a year. but then I give it a try and one smoke sesh with a friend turned into daily smoking instantly lmfaoooooo im so weak when it comes to weed man
yep
its all or nothing for me as well
What is Stoney patch kids?!
Sour patch kids but with thc
Buy them at the local deli in nyc lol
Like I used to be a gigastoner when I was 17-21, high morning to night for a majority of those years. However now I realize that it really saps my dopamine/motivation and keeps me so content that I no longer pursue my goals/habits like exercising, cooking better meals, reading, meditating, gardening, etc.
But I struggle so deeply with quitting because it's so easy to get and consume (legal where i live) and because, well, on the whole it isn't really that bad. Like I ain't performing badly at work, I ain't abusive towards my wife or anything, I still get all the things done that I need to do. It just keeps me so complacent.
And it ain't like im out here tryna hustle my way to stardom or anything, just tryna get real fit and be that well-spoken learned man that I want to be. But man its so nice to just get f***ing smacked and play rocket league lmfaoooo
My plan right now that I'm rocking with is that I have a disposable vape stashed in the locker room of a bathhouse that I go to 1-2 times a week so I can only use it before I hit the sauna and cold plunge. So far so good. It's outta the house and means i can only get high 1-2 times a week. But part of me is like "damn bro you really got so little discipline that you gotta stash some s*** out the house to not be high all day everyday?"
Anyway just some ramblings cuz this been weighing on me for awhile now. Happy Thursday fellas
I was just having this exact convo with my friend about stopping
My dad smoked for 30 years straight, it’s in my genes at this point probably
I switched to dabbing and I don’t feel as spacey and tired. Idk if I can ever give up bud for good though, especially with all the new genetics
right? its like i wanna quit then i see a strain named "slap n tickle" am i not supposed to try that s***?
It's called addiction bro bro
Yea i smoke all day everyday but i stopped doing all other d**** and drinking so its w/e
When i was doing a lot of coke was the only time i stopped smoking weed.
Dispensary 5 mins from my house that i can get $30 8ths testing at 30% doesnt help either.
just got back from the sauna and last time i took two big hits before and one after. this time I only took one before. and now I'm home not feeling guilty or like i need more
first of many steps towards a better relationship with weed i got this
i don't even really feel that brain fog thing today. i feel so happy. this is lit
I struggle with not smoking weed bc last time I did it was 6 months ago with some trash ass trash that didn't get me high at all and before that I smoked like 4 years ago
would kill for a smoke right about now
Just work on making smoking more and more inconvenient.
“Forget” your lighter at home, don’t buy things you’ll need to roll up, leave the vape in the car at night etc.
Since you say you don’t want to completely quit maybe just roll one up in the morning for you to smoke when you get back home later that day, then leave all of that s*** in a dresser drawer
right? its like i wanna quit then i see a strain named "slap n tickle" am i not supposed to try that s***?
Cake and cookie strains got me in a chokehold
Yes the dichotomy is usually knowing I’d be better off sober but choosing to smoke/drink because it’s an easy fix for my anxiety. Only edibles even get me blasted now. Smoking is more of a habitual thing since the act of preparing and sitting there smoking until it’s finished is relaxing in and of itself.
This
This explains a lot about you @op
i rly got a mortgage in your head
right? its like i wanna quit then i see a strain named "slap n tickle" am i not supposed to try that s***?
It’s all the same s*** broham it’s marketing
Nah I’ve been living in CO for the past 8 years and last year I quit cold turkey. I broke my expensive rig and just said f*** it. Now I smoke maybe once a year with my dad.
Just wasn’t fun for me any more. I still like something to drink on the weekends though
It’s all the same s*** broham it’s marketing
nah fam... once u get into terpenes and pheno hunting its a slippery slope
I use to, I always say if you can get past that first day not smoking, it get way easier as you go. That craving you get that first day basically start fading away. I’d suggest rehab if you really have a problem tbh.
Yep, people who smoke daily don't realize it's making them feel like s*** cause they have nothing to compare it to.
Once you get over those withdrawals you feel amazing
