So Sup Forums I'm giving up weed and I'd like so advice.
I've smoked/vaped for about the last 4 years, pretty much every day.
Have you ever tried to give up? How do you get through the first month of crushing anxiety and inadequacy? What things do you do to take your mind of it? How do you keep busy and escape then absolute crushing boredom while your body re-adjusts?
I've tried once before, found it pretty hard.
Pic related - it's what I use as my daily vape.
Korean red ginseng tea, Sup Forumsro.
it sucks for like a week. i dont care what everyone says you do get withdrawls from weed. You are gonna be moody for sure, and find something to fill the time you would somke weed.
protip, if your a richfag, don't give it up, it dosnt matter, keep doing it if your a poorfag give it up, get more money then go back to smoking, that's my plan atleast
replace it with MDMA 4 times a year.
Shit's not that serious, quit being a whiny bitch.
Lucy works for that, recommend acid instead 4 times a year.
how mutch grams did you smoke on a daily base's?
Also all the myth's that weed isn't addictive etc is total bullshit.
It may be true, but on a political correct way.
Witch is the way of a dick, a pussy, a cunt.
Becouse in that way the fucking HEROIN isn't addictive either.....
But the withdrawel effects are so bad you can die from it...
When it comes to quiting weed I've found that having the mindsett that weed isn't a big deal can sort of be the problem. allways when I've tried to quit, I've allways thought that the issues from weed just isn't worth the boredom.
By not being a faggot
You're not alone, Sup Forumsro. My girl and I finished our last bit of weed for a while just this morning. I'm trying to move to a new job which will do random tests, and my current job announced they're going to do randoms now as well. So either way I have to give it up if I don't wanna be broke.
get a life, kiddo
buy pee from someone clean

Quitting a solid cannabis habit sucks, but is very doable, as you are not physically addicted.
>first week is gonna suck ass
>slight anxiety
>hard to sleep
>soul crushing boredom
>depression
Make it past the first week and it all gets easier. I've done it before op, and it's a walk in the park compared to kicking a healthy opiate addiction which I've also done.
I don't really know how to go about that. I feel like my luck would land me needing it too short notice and unsure who to get it from.
I smoke weed daily but on and off. I'll smoke every day or almost every day for a few months, and then stop completely and not smoke at all for many months. The amount I smoke when active ranges between only a few days in a week to multiple times or all day long every day in the a week. Right now I haven't smoked at all for about 6 months (since the beginning of August). I stop purely when I simply decide to, and spend my time doing other things instead, and start similarly, just when I decide to; it's not difficult or easy to put off for me because I will simply not feel like smoking/being sober anymore. Some things about me that might mean my experience is different from yours in ways out of my control:
>I live in a heavily policed, strictly illegal state, so if I'm in an unfamiliar place or dealers in the area are running dry I might not be able to pick up at all
>the weed I buy is much more expensive than one would pay for the same thing in a legal state
>I don't often drink or use any other drugs
>I don't use tobacco or vape nicotine
>I don't vape weed either, since THC oil and shatter is usually very hard to come by in my state, and not regularly at all if I do see it

Or buy synthetic piss. Comes in a flask or pouch that straps to your body. I've passed numerous piss tests and screenings this way.
>wore one to work for 2 years straight
Your the one acting like he's done something wrong. Your the one being pathetic, calling other annon's name's. You think your better.
Yet you don't even know this user.
Instead off pissing on people on the internet.
try to be nice. We 4channers maybe faggots, but were not edgy kids like 9gag.
Grow the fck up faggot.
Buy synthetic online
I quit because it suddenly caused panic attacks and killed the magic
First week sucks. I personally had pretty much no withdrawals except craving to smoke. After a month it´s pretty much gone. I still kinda miss it every now and then, fond memories and stuff. Also I occationally smoke when the time and situation seem good and had no problems so far.
I also had panic attacks, every time i tried to smoke. It was so fckign bad i needed to quit.
I know its in connection with the weed,becouse it happend every time i smoked. but i don't know how. ( i smoked for 5 years, last 3 on a daily basis)
Actually may consider it. Thanks guys.
Fag, only fags vape, your little vape toy is just a penis substitute
A month? No, no, no you need like 2 maybe three days.
It works. My buddy just passed for a job.
I just bought a fresh flask, cost $35, for another $10 you could get the whizzinator type pouch that straps around your thigh/waste. Another 10 bucks and you get a fake dick~pisser tube.
Yeah, I smoked every day for 2 years and never had any problems at all, not even the first time where I smoked way more than I actually needed to. Then out of the blue one day it hit me like a fucking truck just after a few puffs, worst feeling ever. Probably has to do with a lot things. I feel that a little bit of alcohol helps with it aswell as not doing it alone since it gives some sort of security. I´ve also heard the other way around tho where people say they can´t really smoke with someone else because it makes them anxious. It´s all in the mind.
it is tough user, you really need a hobby or interest to throw yourself into or other motivation. I gave it up about 7 years ago after smoking every day for more than a decade because I got a good paying job doing what I love. After a month or so, you dont miss it and after six months, you never think about it.
Are you sure you just didn't go bad?
Did you needed to puke?
Becouse a panic atack is not in your mind, its litterly in your heart. and let nobody tell you otherwise.
>^this
First day, yeah you're going to feel hopeless. Do whatever you can to keep your mind busy. Hobbies, exercise, viddya, whatever. Go see an old friend or hang out with family.
>after about 3 days to a week you won't feel th 'need' for it anymore
It's not Kratom. If you're depressed it's not because your body is adjusting. It's because you would have been depressed without the weed. See a shrink or something.
This
It's already been said a few times but the trick is keeping yourself busy.
The more interesting the activity you do, the better.
I've smoked (and still do) everyday for the last 6 years. I do it because I hate my boring ass life at home.
However, we just went to Rome for 2 weeks and didn't have a single smoke. Honestly don't even remember thinking about smoking. Cause I was in motherfucking Rome.
I'm in the same situation, user. I smoked weed every day for over a decade, had to go to rehab for 6 months for painkillers, sleeping pills, weed, and alcohol. I'm off all the other stuff but I fucking relapsed on weed after 3 years clean and I haven't stopped smoking again for 2 years. I fucking hate myself and I'm trying to stop again but because I'm an addict it takes very little for me to say "fuck it" and go pick up. Would love to quit for good.
Weed is an addictive drug. It changes the way you feel and the way you percieve the world.
Try putting the money youd spend on it in a new savings account. Then invest that money in stocks once a month.
You act like smoking weed is the same as shooting "H". I'm disappointed in you for feeling this way.
Addiction has nothing to do with substance and everything to do with behaviour. The same guy smoking joint after joint is the same as the guy shooting up and sitting on his ass for 7 hours doing nothing.
Sure thing kid. Because when they both quit, the same exact thing happens to both of them. Ur a fucking retard, I hope you OD on pots
I didn't say anything about withdrawal you fucking cretin, obviously they aren't the same substance, but to an addict it doesn't matter, it still stimulates the same part of the brain. I hope you watch your entire family get raped and murdered by niggers you jizz guzzling faggot.
And the guy who has too much coffee, or smokes cigs. Because all drugs are now the same.
No, it's definitely different parts of the brain. Heroin doesn't affect the same receptors. You would not suck dick for marijuana
You are being willfully ignorant. You wouldn't sell your TV for coffee and cigarette money, or rob a liqueur store. And drinking too much coffee doesn't stop you from managing your life, but it still activates the same pleasure centre of your brain as meth or coke. Read a fucking book you ignorant cunt.
No wonder you are hopelessly addicted to marijuana, I'm afraid it's too late for you, just anhero
its sarcasm
No u
LOL I'm not the fucking uneducated idiot that feels all drugs are the same
Go outside. Not even trying to be an asshole
I'm trying to quit (or at least cut back) smoking too. I have stopped for a while before. I feel like to keep my mind busy I would just get really immersed into a video game, or hang out with people that don't smoke. It's tough, but you gotta hang in there.
I never said all drugs are the same. Read my fucking post again. I said they activate the same receptors in the brain.
Congratulations on growing some balls and facing daily life instead of hiding behind a cloud of smoke.
I quit about 6 years ago, after a few weeks you’ll feel better then if you eventually break you’ll be surprised how much you hate the feeling and can’t wait till it wears off.
You will also look down at potheads like total deadbeats like i myself have done this past few years.
user, people get addicted to all sorts of things, gambling, porn, video games. Other user is right, they do activate the same pleasure receptors in the brain, and people with sex addictions go to the same rehab centres as people with H addiction or any other kind.
10+ year daily smoker here who quit.
Try to stay away from anything that can trigger it. Had a place you liked to smoke at? Somewhere to go after? People youd smoke out with? Cut em off.
You need to find something else to do to keep your mind off of it. Go for a walk, go outside, cook whatever just do something. Have a routine? Change it up. For a long time i came home, ate, smoked a cig a bowl then a cig again, play vidya then go to bed. Now i eat, do sit ups push ups play vidya then go to bed. Urges will be strong for the first week, stay strong and dont do it.
Godspeed user
I get what you're trying to say but people would be more inclined to agree if you were to say there is an" increasing motivational mental similarity" between folks that constantly ingest a mood altering substance.
What you're saying is true but the spectrum of drugs is wide and what is considered healthy is a line somewhere in the conservative middle.
I'm an addict but with a lot of pot and some alcohol I'm not killing myself unacceptably or harming others to feed myself.
Call it a weak moral compass but it is better than nothing.
Sometimes this works and sometimesimes you become a dry drunk
Thank you for putting it in a way that I couldn't. Obviously you can still smoke pot regularly and still maintain some semblance of a normal life but it definitely isn't helping you achieve your full potential. I was unemployed for ages and only smoked and played vidya, and when I did get a job all I wanted to do was go home and smoke, use it as a crutch so I wouldn't have to deal with feelings or emotions. It stunted me in every way.
How weak mentally must you be if you find giving up a class c drug a hard task ?
>please don’t ever try any real narcotics
I think I'm somewhere at 140 without pot. 110ish with it, whereas Jodie Foster is nearly 200.
It really depends on what you have to start with and unfortunately most of you don't have a lot to start with bless your souls
Be prepared to get addicted to something else. I gave up weed started drinking Evey weekend, then started doing copious amounts of cocaine on weekends. Stop drinking started gambling 100s a day. So as to myself I might as well just start smoking weed again
They are so fucking good though
You should take weed, on a daily basis, over 40% alcohol and coke on a daily basis everyday.
Get bronchitis and then you can't smoke without nearly dying.
Thats how I quit.
lel
Nope, schedule 1, which is same class as heroin~meaning there is no hope.
Its a gateway drug, next thing you know Op is going to be smoking rocks and injecting the pot!
>How do you keep busy and escape then absolute crushing boredom
I huff gas.
It certainly can grease the slope, but only in highly susceptible individuals which would lead me to argue that causation does not equal correlation
They would have found their way straight to meth if it was handy in short
fucking 20 years into that hole bro
Imma making my 4th proper attempt to cut down.
It's as expensive as a heroin habit and my head is pickled and my lungs are rough.
Going to my Docs and getting therapy starting this week.
I said id stop when i was 30 then i said id stop when i was 40
cant hit 50 and still be a weed tooting manchild.
Weed and hash are addictive as fuck if you try hard enough.
There are a lot of people who don't understand (and science has yet to prove this.) that long term weed addiction is really bad.
I smoked 2,5 grams a day.
And quiting was really bad.
I did not sleep for 13 days straight.
Couldn't even walk normal.
And i had to quit becouse smoking somehow one day caused panic atacks.
(witch is a known event for long time smokers who use a lot of the ganja)
Now you have all kinds of different drugs and one can be more of a pain mentaly or physically, and some are harmless.. But don't underestemate long term canabis smoking.
Heroin is considert a non addictive drug.
(political correct they are right)
But quiting heroin can kill you.
Weed is in some way the same.
Its not addictive but quiting after using long term high dosis canabis.
Is a reall pain in the ass to stop with.
Also just like sigarets, having smoke 24/7 in your system is bad for you health.
You can smoke a gram a day without a problem. quiting is then pretty easy.
But quiting after 5 years smoking 2,5 grams on a daily basis is a whole other fkcing story.
...
"really bad" just means you were more dependant fuckhead
It's very mathmatically understandable and you didn't die
I was meaning in the uk, they yoyo’d it down from b then i believe raised it again so they could dish out harder sentances for growing n punting.

I said I'd stop when I was 30 and I'm almost 33, I just ran out and I'm not buying any more. I can't deal with it anymore. Have been in my first relationship in 12 years for just over 3 months and I'm so scared of fucking it up cause I'll be high all the time, I want to start a family already and live my fucking life. I wish you luck, bro.
...
Lol what? Is not being edge but the truth. Y'all fucking losers fucking doing drugs and have to worry about quitting. Way to be a responsible adult lol
>we
don't do that
just quit cold turkey. i did (used for epilepsy cuz my mom force fed it to me and then i realized i didnt have to be stoned every day to help the illness) all i had was a little trouble sleeping and crazy ass dreams. otherwise anxiety actually got a fuck ton better after and i got way less depressed. honestly i dont know why the fuck people use weed its shitty in all ways. you wont be productive, you feel tired as fuck, eat way more than you should, i get anxious,
when i was on it i was in jr. and senior year of high school and i litterally failed every class but my ignorant ass mom didnt care. she still thinks to this day that weed is some sort of miracle drug. ill just stick to my barbituates and keppra thankyou. i dont have anything against drugs i use amphetamine every day (recreational doses) to get through work (my epilepsy meds make me tired as hell but not as bad as weed did)
No 'really bad' means. mentaly fucked.
Psycally fucked.
Clearly you have no idea what the fuck i'm talking about becouse you never used a lot of weed in your life.
And no i didn't die, you can't die from panic attacks. But i might aswell have killed myself.
And don't come and say, that i'm trying to tell you that's all the weeds fault.
I'm saying that if your feeling like shit.
And are addicted to something, that substance doens't make it any better but only worse.
All in all it was a really bad expierence.
What is wrong with using drugs user?
I used a lot more than u
mad?
like, a lot
god i fuckin wish caffeine worked like coke or meth, it would save me alot of fuckin money. and i dont understand why people steal for liquor, shit i distill my own all you need is yeast a gallon jug or more. 2 pounds of sugar for every gallon and then wait 3 weeks and distill with a pressure cooker and copper tubing (make a condensation column, just look it up) and fuck youve made a set up for about 50 bucks at most and your still will last a really long time if you make it right
That's not my point.
It's not a battle between who smoked more.
Its you not understanding what i'm saying becouse you lack the expierence faggot.
>its not me saying you lack experience its me saying you lack experience
This is why I come to Sup Forums after all these years
Heroin is very addicting, and No it can't kill you if you just cold turkey quit. It's not like alcohol or benzos. Sure withdrawal is intense, but won't kill you.
...
all the best to you too bro
keep yourself motivated and try and get your folk closest to you to help
it's do-able i'm sure I've stopped for 6 months but the relapse after was insane and Ive never cut back since. The 6 months off was boring and I felt more depressed than ever BUT at least I wasnt smoking weed. Stopping weed was not a magic bullet. My life was still a mess but it was a step in the right direction.
nvm, i see your mentaly ill and are not cappable of understanding my message.
Your claiming shit i never said.
gl en have fail.
Go on a holiday for two weeks or more. Breaks your routine and you got plenty of stuff to do. Throw everything weed related away before you leave. Don't relapse when you get home.
Plan B: Have the cops raid your place at 7am and bust you for growing. The shocked covered all withdrawals for weeks. Would recommend plan A though...
>Smoke weed everyday for the past year
>Need to quit and get a job
>Not smoking weed sucks
Happens to the best of us, when it starts feeling tight I quit and get a job.
But as some people are posting, yeah I know kids who will smoke stems seeds and whatever crumbs you got or they'll call and ask for a free bone or they'll ask if they could give you a shitty electronic or some game just for pot. And it's always the poorest, most mentally fucked up people that fiend for weed.
On the other hand, my friend has asked me for video games, guitar pedals and baby sitting in exchange for weed. I even posted his $40 bail and got a quarter o in return. I think shit like that is fine.
...
unlucky bro, fuck the cops.
...
I was fuckin stupid. Ordered the tent on eBay not realizing it was a drop off order at one the countrys largest suppliers which got raided 4 weeks after my order.

Its mostly in your head bro if you want it youll do it. If youre a chicken shit cuck who wants to die cold and alone, youll quit. No one likes a quitter. No one.
it's just a matter of willpower, i used to be able to smoke an ounce a week on my own last year and by the end of the year i could only afford half an oz a week
occasionally i would do month long T-breaks because i could barely get high anymore and the first week is always the hardest, i would get night sweats, loss of appetite, being constantly on edge and etc
the thing is your body is used to have a certain amount of CBD and THC along with all the flavonoids, terpenes, etc... that is found in weed so anytime you just starve your body, the withdrawal symptoms are going to be relative to the amount you're used to get daily
my tip for a less harsher withdrawal period is to gradually diminish the quantity you smoke per day and it'll be better to deal with when you're at the point of stopping
i never took this advice and would always go cold turkey
recently, i quit smoking weed(since 11th January) because my job actually doesn't give me much hours, my wage is shit and i need to save up so i can move elsewhere because i'm renting a room with a bunch of retarded fucks that constantly gets on my nerves on top of having been threatened several times by my landlord which is a complete fucking douchebag full of himself
all i gotta say is, put your priorities straight and when your mind is ready, the body will follow
The withdrawals don't last a month, just find stuff to do. Maybe exercise when you're bored, it'll help get it out of your system faster anyways.
I know I can do it. I stopped for a full year about 3 years ago and I stopped for 2 weeks this year, I felt so much better. I know it's not a magic bullet but not being high definitely makes it easier to get motivated to do other stuff like going for walks and not being stuck in front of a screen for hours on end. There are definitely triggers like certain songs, certain people, certain places etc and avoiding all those things will help.
