Ive seen more most ibe seen was 3 pounds in a giant bad it was sick

Same guy, i smoke like once every 1-2 weeks sometimes more but rarley

If you feel you need to take a break or quit then do so. If it's holding you back from whatever it is you want to do in life then you shouldn't definitely stop for a while. Personally been smoking pretty much non stop for the last 10 years and I bust ass at my job everyday and fuck my wife until she is surrounded by a pool of her own cum every night.

should not shouldn't

I had this same problem OP. I can't say I've gotten better since I've been put on antidepressants. Could be a symptom of something could be the weed. Hard to know if you don't try life without it.

is it fun like it used to be for you still? do you still get high the same way? i just feel shitty without it i overthink things

this is what im afraid of turning into

me too user
i need that break too to catch up definetly
actually im smoking a joint at this very moment

A mate of mine smoked regularly for almost a year, I did it occasionally with him but no where near as often. Recently he just decided to stop because he was smoking just for the purpose of smoking and nothing else. He told me he feels great about it now

yes.trying to quit now.

weed makes me a degenerate sloth. instead of doing things productive, i end up falling asleep eating poptarts with family guy on the TV.

This is called: your brain waking up from chronic depression of function. Geez you stoners are fucking stupid

For me if it starts to not do enough for me I switch to shatter or oils to change it up. The high hits you differently and then when you go back to flower it feels fresh. Also don't smoke during the day unless you plan on doing absolutely nothing that day.

It also helps if you have someone to share the experience with, being a lone stoner is just as shitty as being a lone drunk. Also there are weeds out there can make you wanna get up and do shit, mainly sativas in my experience.

yeah i mean most people smoke to feel good and they find it helps them, if you dont feel like its doing you any good then you should quit

no because i was off it for 77 weeks and 4 days at one point and i was still like that, and before i smoked i was like this too. what you just said isnt even true, you just think that you live in a world where articulation equals intelligence. fucking child

Stopped smoking weed for 3 months now, have to admit I have no motivation to do much despite not being stoned.

Sometimes it's nothing to do with weed at all, why did you start smoking in the first place?

I'm just waiting until september so I can go back to university, my motivation to get anything productive done this summer is non-existent.

i was high for a year and a half straight from day to night never taking any time off, i dont know how to live without it its a part of my chemical structure now.

i quit smoking erday like 3 weeks ago and i feel no different other than im not fucking high, which sucks

I feel like that every now and then.
I've just had to quit for new jobs, or just decide to put my money somewhere else. But it's usually pretty nice to be off it for a bit, I am a good bit more productive. And then it's pretty nice to start smoking again.
And so is life, an endless cycle of me picking up habits and dropping them. Just so I can pick them up again.

Quitting weed was never a problem with me. Give it a few weeks off and see how shit goes try not to think about it so much you will be fine. Just have fun my friend.

lots of weedbabies responding in here i can see.
dont come with the 7years of nonstop blazing is easy to lay off

There's a problem if you think about it as a problem.

Personally, about once a week I go to a friends house and we watch movies like Bond and get absolutely blitzed. It's important to set aside days where you can just be yourself and not give a crap about the world for a day.

Weed honestly (in moderation) is the best thing you can do on a free day with someone you care about. It's not going to make your life worse if you moderate the intake.

Once a week is fine.

You faggots taking smoking for granted.

A million of us out here wish we could.

recently the same thing was happening to me, i quit mostly bc ive been to broke to afford it right now and i thought the break might help me bounce back as well and realized it wasnt the weed life just fucking sucks bruh stay high

work for it like me dude

Keep smoking if you want to wake up one day and be 40 working in a gas station.

>weed kills the innate desire to better yourself. /thread.

yeah, same. smoked daily, 4/5 blunts, for four years, started getting paranoid, losing ambition, short term memory was z getting worse, i quit alright

so? how you feel?
i mean it probably takes a lot more than just putting the weed down

...

dont smoke too much, take a week or two off sometimes, weeks that you do smoke just smoke every other day not all the time

good advice here.

I gotta disagree man. This year I have been the most motivated I've ever been. Every single day I make a point to be constantly through my day doing something. Got rid of my tv to minimize being lazy. I smoke every day. The only difference is I only smoke in the times where I'm not busy with something. I think the factor is that you have to have the right mindset and I think the majority of people who smoke don't.

Yes weed will make you lose your wit and energy. Only smoke it when you feel happy with the way life is going. It will put you in a rut you can't get out of because change is harder to adapt to while smoking it.

I have definitly felt myself lose my concentration, focus, and general motivation when I started smoking more. When I quit cold turkey for a week I felt alive again.
It is truly about knowing yourself/your body and how you need to moderate yourself. But quitting when you feel it is in your best interest is always a good idea, can always start again when you feel its right.
Best of luck to you sir, your wit and energy keeps that unique soul of yours alive.

I'm the opposite, I started smoking because I didn't really have the will to live anymore (traumatic childhood/lost a lot of people I loved)

>inb4 edgy

It calms me down and helps me cope a bit, although I can't say I'm a better person because of it.

Good luck OP

ive been working in construction/siding smoking weed everyday, working safely, im unrealistically crazy, and french
its motivation, comfort and im never mad or stressed, everything is easy.

Just stop smoking every day and you'll get back to normal... all things in moderation.

Yes, I went on a good break and felt much better actually. Im smoking right now but I think ill continue this cycle of it being just a treat between several weeks.

Been smoking essentially everyday for about 4 years now with a handful of breaks throughout.

Funny coincidence OP, I just quit the other day indefinitely.
As of late, weed makes me pretty lethargic. I still can and want to go out and do things, and being high is definitely fun, but it just makes me so damn tired.
It's also been fucking with my vision. While high, my eyesight gets slightly blurry, and it's fucking annoying.
Grad school's going to be starting back up in a couple weeks, so that's another reason to lay off of it for a long while.

After so long, at least in my experience, the high just doesn't hit the same. There's the initial peak after going from sober to high, but after maybe only 20mins it turns to pure lethargy and eye tiredness.
Maybe if I'd cut it down to a couple times a week it would be better, but I honestly cannot help myself from smoking everyday after work/school if I have it stashed.

I was in your exact same situation about 3 months ago. I smoked almost every day for 2 years straight and I stopped once this feeling got to the point where it was hindering me from excelling in life. now when I do it, it is never the same feeling and I've kinda lost interest in it all together. It's really easy to stop too man, you just gotta tell yourself you need the money you spent on it for more important things and that you need to be more productive. Now, I only smoke when it's offered to me and it's kinda cool because my tolerance is always low and I get baked as shit. In my eyes, it's win win, you get to feel better and more productive and when you do decide to smoke, you get baked af.

Rekt

do it, you loser and maybe you can start working on winning back the respect of your family. I'd start by paying them back for the money you stole from them

Yes, I have. I still have no passion, I feel dead inside everyday and smoking just makes it more intense. just learn to manipulate it to your advantage. Stop smoking now and your wit and energy will return,

smoking weed stops being fun after high school
treat it like medicine, smoke when you need to relax and go to bed, or when you have absolutely nothing to do

talk to us in a few more years cunt, or maybe your perception of doing well is askew, the dangerous part about weed is it makes you content even when you shouldn't be, hence getting rid of motivation.

Smoked every day, multiple times a day for about a year or so. Quit a few months ago to get clean for a job, went back to smoking a little but slowed way down. Ran into some money problems and had to hold off on buying, but since then I haven't really had the urge to buy or smoke it. I have a couple friends who've been wanting to smoke with me, and I probably will, but I don't think I'll ever go back to buying my own and smoking all the time like I used to.
It got to a point where I wasn't doing it for the high, I was just doing it to not feel like shit. Kinda like how people who smoke cigarettes just chain smoke all day out of habit. I used to have awesome highs and have fun with friends, then it just turned into habitually doing it because I felt like I had to. It wasn't even something I looked forward to anymore, it was like taking a medicine, and not in a good way.

I feel more focused now and I feel like I enjoy activities more. Back when I smoked every day, I felt like I would need to be high to enjoy playing guitar or video games, or watch TV, and while occasionally getting high with friends is fun, I just don't think it's for me anymore.
I have been struggling with depression and anxiety on and off for a while though, which definitely does not help. I'd have a ton of caffeine in the morning before work, be super tired but caffeinated all day, then rush home to get high, and I was irritable all the time especially when normal daily activities got in the way of or postponed my getting high.

so tl;dr my personal experiences show that slowing down is good

All you fucking pot head pussies. If you want to fucking quit, just fucking do it. Dear lord, its less addictive than a cigarette. I can tell you a thing or two about addiction.
>also was all day stoner for 10 years shit sucks just stop it if u want and smoke occasionally

I used to love smoking for years Just get panic attacks it takes away the fun from every intoxicant you love
Like to smoke weed not any more to bad it sucks and makes you feel like your having a heart attack. Like to drink same thing just after your hung over about 4 hours later all you can do is take a benzo which you become dependant on and the withdrawls from that are fucking terrible. You can't win I can see why people with panic attacks have a high suicide rate all you can do is be sober and deal with the shit show that is life

Welcome to habitual drug use (ie most stoners). If you gotta ask if it is still fun, its probably time to slow down. Y'all should be happy pot ain't addictive.
