I'm not quitting because of:

  • any study
  • ill effects
  • health
  • anyone's opinion (especially hard line faggots like StabEm and hystereichal)
  • money

I am quitting because I want to. Plain and simple. I'm still going to grow, because there are a lot of people that look forward to my harvests every year. Especially some elderly folks that really enjoy my edibles (which I hate) and my tinctures/lotions.

My biggest challenge IMO will be my physical addiction to smoking in general. I quit cigarettes long ago and switched to vaping, but I really like the feel of a smooth smoke going into my lungs. That in itself caused me to smoke more weed. I'm done with that. Anyway I figured I would document any changes or non changes that I notice. I'll update every now and then... If you want/care to know anything just ask me.

Day 1: Nothing to note

Day 2: I want to smoke something, but will refrain from doing so.

Day 3: I slept in today. I hardly ever sleep in, especially not until 9:30. I think I am vaping a little more than usual. Felt strange not having my usual half joint with my coffee. I really want to smoke something! Long deep breaths seem to help...

smoked that weed like a champ for 10 years. loved to break apart ciggies and roll up some arnold palmer spliffs. i slept great. didn’t drink so much. loved the routine of the spliff break.

then i gave it up for 5 years. life not a downward spiral, but significantly more miserable. lots of brain static, and slept like shit.

i didn’t want to go back to smoking, even though it really agreed with me. i started going to the gym. body is feeling better, but still got brain static and sleeping like shit. a friend introduced me to gummies - 5mg after dinner and i sleep like a baby. wake up refreshed, PR’ing like crazy at the gym, self-employed and business is growing fast.

respect to the body purists out there, and i hate the stereotypical pothead fags too, but i am 110% a proponent of cannabis

Good for you. Just because something is legal doesn't mean it's not bad for you. (And in converse, just because something is bad for you doesn't mean it should be illegal.)

Since pot isn't (really) physically addictive don't feel too bad if you backslide, just get back on the wagon and try to make it further before your next slip.

I've heard of people who were quitting smoking that found it helpful to put their empty fingers up to their lips, and inhale as if they were smoking, several times over a period of how ever many minutes a smoke would normally last. Something like the breathing pattern tricks some part of you and calms you down like a smoke did.
I don't personally know anyone who did this to quit smoking, the only person I know who was able to quit just decided one day that he is not smoker, and that was it, so I can't vouch for it, but it doesn't seem like it can do any harm, so give it a whirl and let us know if it is helpful at all.

I quit last April, for the same reasons. I wanted too, I was a daily smoker for 20+ years and it got to the point I just didn't enjoy it anymore. It became almost like a chore and a daily ritual. After almost a year off weed now I feel better and have a good mindset and out look on life in general.

To an extent I agree

After almost a year off weed now I feel better and have a good mindset and out look on life in general

Not discounting your personal experience, but strongly disagree as far as myself. I already have a good mindset, my life and outlook of it is already good. I don't sit around sad and gloomy. I'm active, I like doing things, I like people, and lots of people like me (IRL, not so much online, two different people).

Leave it to you to manage to fit three days into a 16 hour old post.

I quit once for about 9 months. Life sucks way too much. I need something to deal with it. Alcohol is poison. Antidepressants are deadly.

I'll stick with nature's own stress reliever.

Make RSO with whatever you grow in case you or a loved one gets cancer. Also a great insta-cure for many health problems both common and rare.

I have an older couple that get a quart jar every 3 months or so. The old man and I are convinced his wife gives it to her cats. Lol. He provides me with 190+ proof vinous alcohol (grape spirits) which I use to make a very high quality extract that is properly decarboxylated and winterized.

That old man makes some top notch homemade wine.

I do not call my extract RSO. Rick Simpson is a jew that took something people have been making for centuries, claimed it as his own, and profited from it. The faggot will also say it's ok to use Isopropyl Alcohol to do the extraction. If you do it his way you are getting a low quality and possibly dangerous extract. Fuck Rick Simpson he doesn't know shit.

Good luck on your journey. Idk anything about quitting weed.

Besides sleeping in once, has it interfered with falling asleep?

Not that I've noticed yet. I think if it does affect my getting to sleep it will be after a couple more days. I was a really heavy user so I'm sure I have built up stores in my body. Luckily I don't have much body fat and have really good metabolism.
