War on Reefers

Pretty easy for me. I just stopped buying it. I don't really hang around many people who do smoke, nor am I friends with my dealer. I smoked very excessively when I bought it and I guarantee if I had access to any now, I would light up in a heartbeat. But I don't, and I aim to keep it that way. I don't go to parties and I don't have many friends, so I should be in the clear.

The first 3 weeks after stopping were very hard. Depression at it's worst. Your body expects dopamine but doesn't get shit. Everything is boring. Just gotta push through it. The occasional cigarette did help calm me down, but you know, smoking is bad m'kay.

>has anyone here quit weed? did you have a specific strategy to not think about it, forget about the craves, etc? i must defeat the green jew if i want to improve my gas tank. ITT we share tips and experiences on how to defeat the green nigger from nibbling away the strength/motivation/productivity.

I just stopped, it got too expensive. I moved for uni and the price is double up here from what it is back home. So I smoke it once or twice a year when I go home, but that's it.

I barely even drink alcohol anymore, and I quit smoking.

>you body expects dopamine but doesn't get it
Not every good feeling you have is a result of dopamine. Too many experiences are attributed to dopamine when that is inaccurate. THC has such tremendous efficacy because it is actually the phytocannabinoid twin of the naturally occurring endocannabinoid called “anandamide” which is a neurotransmitter commonly associated with the feeling of joy. It's not dopamine or related to dopamine. Ingesting cannabis does not directly affect dopamine levels, that is a myth. Though fulfilling habits does release dopamine and that habit can be anything including ingesting cannabis.

For me it just repeatedly caused such bad consequences in my life that I found it easy to push all of this away.

Pro tip: Look at stoned people or look at video material of yourself stoned, or read something you wrote stoned, just see how retarded weed makes you, and know that the effects last for weeks.

Every 3/4 days at around 7pm I have a big fat smoke, cook a really good meal. Watch a classic film(predator, gladiator, master and commander, last samurai, saving private Ryan, thin red line or platoon) listen to some old school blues(usually Bobby bland), read then go to sleep. It's bliss. I honestly don't know what's wrong with you retards. Weed isn't the reason you're lazy, it's just an excuse. Quit being pussies and if you're going to be an addict atleast do a proper drug, jeez

Well shit if I'm only 2x more likely to get schizophrenia than I was anyway, and that probability is fucking tiny then I'm probably going to smoke even more. Weeds actually safer than I thought. Cheers for the links guy.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh why can't I sleep

What if you grow it at home?

I smoke one every now and then but I never buy.
