I quit for a few years but there was no difference in anything. Motivation, happiness, etc. so I just went back to weed and realized I was overthinking it

I guess I just wanted to prove something to myself but now I realize that was corny

Now I’m back to so many nights spent with the homies just laughing, telling stories, blasting music, rolling blunts, etc.

I definitely have a lot more energy and clarity since I sobered up. Every now n then when I’m at work I smell my co workers lighting up and the urge comes but I remember how time consuming and lethargic I get after I smoke

And also this girl I was talking to said that weed smelled like poverty and that s*** stuck with me. As goofy as it sounds lol

“Smells like poverty” is something an elitist would say, yikes

Sounds great:)

Remember to take Tyrosine on an empty stomach

It’s not sudden effect, but after a week or 2 it starts to show

Every time you think about it, just do something else, literally anything.

One day you’ll realize you’ve spent more days in your life getting high than actually being sober. I quit after 11 years and you can too.

Everyone relapses and that’s okay, just start over and this time go even longer till eventually you never look back.

Don’t overthink your decision to stop or smoke, just go with how you feel but remember why you want to stop in the first place. For me it was heart related + the smell + dark lips + yellow teeth + realizing how many people do not f*** with weed/the smell and how it affects peoples good time

I agree with the smell + dark lips + yellow teeth but those are all just from smoke, not weed itself. Same problem would happen if you switched from weed to cigarettes.

thats why I mostly stick to edibles, capsules and tinctures

My response is my 2nd sentence

Everything in moderation, not just weed

You could spend most days drinking, spending time on social media or playing video games, and miss life. That’s not really a weed related thing. That’s just a self control thing.

had a real nice time chattin with a buddy of mine last night. he's an oldhead fr, in his 50s now. we went and shot some pool and talked about so much. our experiences in the dark night of the soul, spirituality, mythology, psychedelics, split brain theory, etc. and man it felt so good to speak on this stuff. it really reinforced my position in so many ways.

when im smoking like i do it's like i become someone else. there's this anxiety that bubbles up that is non-existent in my sober experience. i also just forget so much, the music i listen to, the books i read, the conversations i have. its like years of my life had 80% of the memories clouded in a fog

and i dont want that anymore. i just dont. i actually want to be sober. like i desperately want it so badly, and I can have it every single day.

I don’t f*** with in between, leads to indecisiveness. Out of sight, out of mind. That s*** will hinder you in the long run, even in moderation

Smoke more weed

5 days in and going strong, really feeling like I can get to two weeks this time. Been doing this every day for the last 20 years, gotta prove its possible to stop

if smoking weed makes you even less sharp than usual then thank christ I dont do that anymore bc I can barely keep my s*** together fully sober

I don’t feel remotely hindered. And I have no want need or desire to use weed every day, I haven’t in weeks. It’s just an occasional thing to do with friends or my gf. But I respect your opinion.
I’m curious, do you think bob Marley, a guy who changed the world, was hindered by weed?

My gf smokes a lot more weed than I do and she makes 400k/year working as a UX researcher and she owns her own business where she formulates cosmetics on the side. Anyone who says weed is effecting them that much is just not doing anything with their life and is using weed as an excuse imo.

i think if you're already unmotivated and/or depressed weed doesnt do anything to help it
weed makes you content. so in the case im referring to, you're more content with doing nothing

Good point. Being unmotivated and depressed is extremely rough and can feel like drowning, I empathize with anyone going through that, I was abused by my family growing up and so I’ve struggled with depression and been in really dark places. Smoking weed, personally, helped me. If you feel like it’s making you content with a bad situation, then you should definitely cut back a lot, at least until you’re in a better headspace.

sluggish, lazy, stupid, and unconcerned fr

yeah i look at weed as a lovely dessert to celebrate a good time rather than a coping mechanism. cant eat ice cream for every meal of the day

theanine is crazy dawg i feel so calm and much decreased anxiety its almost like weed in a sense but without the high

altho its making me bored easier too tho. anxiety keeps me awake and alert. very cool substance im definitely gonna incorporate it in my life

No Vap dude over here man

This is facts. I been smoking pretty much every day for years and I feel like it makes me more unmotivated and content with just sitting around. Going to finish my last few buds and try going through at least July and August without smoking

its easier than u think. the hardest part for me is the vivid ass nightmares . but u got this dude give it a try. mental clarity is cool bro brain fog sucks

He openly sings about how despite his love for weed and it’s meditative/healing effects it hindered his life, connection to his society and progression in his homeland due to its vilification by Jamaican government. He accepted that reality, said f*** money and remained in the slums of Trenchtown

His beliefs also led to his untimely death at 36 as rastafarians (religion where weed is sacrament) don’t believe in mutilating the body temple and he died from a foot infection.

So you tell me, was he hindered by weed?

RIP brother Marley
