Anyone else tired of smoking?

[Grow Tech]

Greetings IC family,
First off...let me start by saying I love cannabis and the positive impact it has in my life; both medicinally and recreationally. But...I'm getting tired of smoking. Unless it's top shelf rolled in a spliff, I rather not.burn it. I grow my own so I know.the cleanliness of what I'm burning. I also know I'm not a perfect grower so only a fraction of what I grow meets my standard for burning. I've tried upping my bubble hash game and once againg, only a fraction of what I produce tastes acceptable to me.
I've had the privilege of smoking some of the best grown herb and I love the process of doing so. What the hell..this is tokets den. Random thoughts about lessening enjoyment from smoking welcomed.

indeed this is a huge problem...

i'm yet to work this one out!

I think if you are high too often and are high more often than not then it does become boring because it feels like the norm and you are in an altered state when you AREN'T high.....

 

[yesum]

Take some time off from smoking, you will be fine. At some point when you start again you should like it more.

Not everyone was cut out to smoke regularly or even at all.

Get a vapouriser

Many mornings when I wake up , I promise myself not to touch anything for a week or two , but it never works for me , lol

 

[sutra1]

no, i'm not

 

[MrBungle]

That was about the time I started dabbing

Any and all things to excess can be unhealthy, mentally and physically.

Smoking too much makes your tolerance high for the fun part of the buzz and puts you into a sleepy, boring zombie type. Smoking for fun should be used as sparingly as you would drink for fun.

Using it for medicine should be used with the same prudence as most medicines I think. We all know someone that over does it on prescription medicines and many have the feeling that the person is obviously doing too much where the user can't see it.

Many people feel square or like a trader any time they reduce or take a hiatus, but they shouldn't. Marijuana is a very powerful drug (don't fight over that term please) and should be used with caution. Don't feel obligated to do shots of tequila or dabs just because someone is prodding you to do so.

all I like to smoke is joints, your fine! I feel the same way about herbs , you have high standards thats ok too

I'd say take clones of everything you grow out, only keep the clones from the fraction of what you grew that you found acceptable. Keep them as mothers and just work with those lines.

Once you see what herb can be, it is truly hard to go back to unmemorable strains.

Saw that chem d in your albums, looked really nice, if you can run it again keep a clone! I'd say order some new genetics and start looking for keeper mothers!

I used to feel this way, and then I switched over to oils. After the "thrill" of oils started to wear off, I found myself barely vaping anything at all, and so I switched back to smoking again... and for the first time in like 20 years I'm barely smoking at all. It's crazy, because I didn't plan on (or expect) this at all! I just don't have the compulsion to smoke during the day anymore, and pretty much only smoke at night before bed, and sometimes during the day on the weekends. I'm getting so baked these days, it's silly.

So, maybe try switching things up by going over to oils, just so that you are changing something about your routine, and who knows, it might be the catalyst you needed.

 

[greenthumbdub]

Definitely bored of it myself. I'm with Hush, it just doesn't have that thrill to me anymore. I want to take a hiatus for a few months but it is very hard being around others who want to "match" and smoke all the time.

I've been burning herb for 13-14 years now (which doesn't seem like it btw) and dabbing for about the last 3 years. My beloved MJ has just lost it's luster to me for the time being.

Good luck to all of you who feel the same way.

Tolerance break. !

Thanks for all the replys! For those that suggested a vape....I got one and while it's different I prefer the effects of smoking.
What I have found most enjoyable these days is edibles. Other than putting on a few lbs, this seems.to be the best method for.me ATM. I take all the flowers.and bubble hash that doesn't meet my standards and cook-a-fy it into something tasty and potent.
Regarding strain selection....that's part of the problem. I have been pheno hunting for the last couple of years so I end up having plenty of.phenos.that don't impress me. Their are a few (like ChemD) that never disappoint when they come in to rotation.
I've considered oil but I'm not down to blast here at home (actually playing with butane doesn't have much appeal to me in any sett8ng). If I had a quality facility near me that would run my stuff I'd consider that but fo.now.i'm just trying to up my ice extraction game.
Oh...and I have taken breaks ( no cannabis at all in any form) for as long as 7 mths off within the last 3 years. That didn't make my life better at all hahaha. I'm guessing it's my body telling me.that if I'm going to continue a habit I've done for 30+ years I better make it worth it and only burn the best. ...now if I could only keep my garden happy enough to produce the best. It's been a long hot summer here in SoCal without a/c

imho/e it is the nature of the weed itself

it is healing and transforming, not addictive and many people get a benefit from it an move on, others gets something from it a bit longer

either way its all good, as long as it got you to where you wanted to be .. happy

 

[2 Legal Co]

Tired? Weeellll no.

My lungs don't like me to smoke anything much anymore.
I'm not much on the alcohol, (not a Tea Totaler by any means), but weed is my preference.
I do enjoy cookies for desert almost daily, however.

Just so you know, you don't need to fuck with butane to get purified concentrate. Isopropyl alcohol will give you just as good of a product. Check the QWISO link in my signature.

I somehow got me some 190 proof ethanol. If it didn't cost $20 for a 5th I might be more inclined to use it. Always been nervous about nasties iso would leave behind

Sometimes i get anxiety and I smoke to relieve the anxiety and instead it exacerbates it...
I'm a junkie by nature so it get frustrating being really bad at regulating my cannabis intake..
I don't often want to quit smoking but I do often want to cut back...
