At the start of the new year I quit smoking cigs and weed and drinking and mdma and psychoactives and hallucinogens... im back to buds after about 75 days clean.. all the other stuff im still layin off tho.

It's all in your head. Everything in moderation and try smoking or eating edibles after your daily activities are done, if you must; or just on the weekends.

Think positive and don't dwell on the past or future.

Last year I started jogging trying to lose weight. The first night I was only able to run

about 50 feet. Now I run about 2 miles. I stopped smoking for about ten weeks. Then I

smoked for a week. Then quit again for 10 weeks. This has become my pattern.

I like the clean active feeling I get from regular workouts. But I also like the deep relaxation and quality sleep I get from a quality bud.

Now i just indulge for one week after every harvest, then quit until the next harvest.

This balance of jogging and smoking schedule is working out well for me.

Also, Cannabis is not addictive no matter what anybody says.

well cannabis can certainly become a habit, i noticed either when i indulge myself a bit too much
my body shows sings of weakening, but i love running and bicycling it can really clean you up.

the best thing about smoking a joint after several days of giving it a rest,
is that it really kicks in nicely without making you feel groggy.

smoking for some time and then giving it a rest at least if you are not a medical smoker
is certainly the best and the healthiest.

its always the amount and how you use it thats for sure.
but thats a number which you can resolve anything with,

even drinking too much water
can bring you into serious trouble!!!

cannabis is great and can be incorporated into any lifestyle

that sounds like "we are the borg you will be assimilated resistance is futile"
well you cant force it onto anybody, its a recreational and medical tool
and thats how it should be kept.

unfortunately its being abused for politics and cashflow control.

not smoking now at the moment, in between jobs. gotta be clean to get in. it sucks, but that is how the rules are written. if I ever find a welding gig that does NOT random test after hiring, I will work there for the rest of my life...

 

[Photosynthesis]

On a pause myself. First one in many years. I smoke right before bed to help me fall asleep, but that's it.

It makes me feel like a hypocrite though.

I rarely smoke anymore. Lungs don't like it much, too much tobacco earlier in life.

I grow my own, make my own edibles (eat them too). Jars of smoke are around for company, along with a bubbler and pipes.

Gallon zips of cookies in the freezer for those so inclined. lol

 

[BrnCow]

Can't smoke...

 

[Asche]

Can't smoke...

Been over three weeks here. After the first two I dont mind but do miss it. I am getting a new job next month and need to be clean. Not sure if they will have random drug test after that but if they do I might just smoke a few times per month. Not to mension I have no safe place to grow my own and really cant afford to buy it for every day use any longer. I figure this break will take at least a few months.

Last break ended up taking nine months to get clean for a hair folicle test. I spent two months clearing my system, then shaved all my body hair off(not much left up top), then greew it back clean. They ended up taking all my arm pit hair. Funny people ask amaized how I passed a body hair test. I just didnt cheat and passed legit. Sometimes it just has to be that way.

Off break I smoke around 1/8th to 1/4 oz per week.

Maybe its because of my surrounding or that fact that I have no friends living in a rink dink town that I came back to

I'm wondering how much of a roll this environment plays? I mean if I lived in a small town with no friends and very little to do I'd likely become depressed especially if I was smoking heavily and by myself. It's really tough to enjoy a high when you have nobody to share it with and nothing interesting or stimulating to do while high.

My situation isn't too much different as far as environment and so I've had to make adjustments to avoid feeling like the weed was bringing me down. Mainly what I do is get high before doing mundane things that I'll be doing for long periods. Like for example doing yard work. I smoke a joint or a few bowls before starting and then what is otherwise a boring chore becomes something I almost enjoy. Another example is when I go on long walks. I several miles a day and always along the same route as it's easy to keep track of my mileage. Since I do it daily and have been doing it for some time it's boring, nothing new to see. So now I catch a buzz first and distract myself from the boredom of the route by letting myself contemplate whatever interesting thought pops into my head.

All that being said it's still a good practice to take a break for a while, every so often, so as to lower your tolerance and to not lose the joy of getting high. I find it's not hard at all to do especially if it's something you decide on your own to do rather then being forced to abstain by someone else.

that sounds so fucked up..
i mean ok if you are seriously desperate on a job then you do many things..
but that something like that is even being asked.. thats just a pure insult
on anybodies privacy, here where i live something like that would have no chance.

 

[fatsack79]

Hi, my name is fatsack and I've currently not smoked for 15 mins... J/k... I've honestly not smoked since May 7th of this yr... I quit smoking ciggs and weed at the same time... Ciggs because its just not healthy, grass because I need this job... I was laid off about a yr ago and got tired of setting on my ass getting fat... So I quit smoking, for the time being... But I grew then, I grow now, and I'll always grow... I love to grow weed almost as much as I love to get pussy, and sometimes more... I cant wait to get the n's and outs of this job figured out so i can burn the f down, i absolutely love mj... That's all I got for now... Just for today... -F.S

Well the hair thing was for a court case and was well worth it. I figured better to quit then end up on probation for bullshit I didnt do. The fuckers will lock us in the system forever to fill their pockets.

The job is in a hospital this round. Plus it pays four times what I make now. Once the ball is rolling it will make my whole life better. I just figure they test all staff but not sure. I did use some one elses pee to get another job but that was long ago. I had never been tested and my piss sample failed for temp.

Ill survive but it helps my arthritis and insomnia issues. But not the end of the world.

 

[Asche]

very sorry to hear that Bob.. maybe thats a dump suggestion
but i would try to find another job.. that kind of privacy disrespect
should not be substituted in any matter..

but you have to set your priorities.. where are you from if may ask?

 

[D. B. Doober]

I wouldn't let anyone shave my pubes off for a job

The south I tell you a friend of mine was taken to jail for getting caught with under one gram of herb ON CHRISTMAS EVE last year. Concentrates are considered same as crack, meth, heroin. Lookat the kid facing 10-99 for brownies. Some places have not changed much sense the 70's.

As for the hair test it was bullshit but I have a kid and his mom knew I smoked. I cant give anyone power over my family over Herb no matter how much I like it I really just dont need it. Plus it gave me the power to look the judge in the eye and say drop the bullshit and test us both. I needed to have her hair tested to make sure she was not doing coke, or pills while breast feeding my kid. It was just a fucked up situation all around. But it was well worth it best decision I could of made at the time.

I dont know if this job will test or not but self disapline to not spend money on it is a big factor.

But I have faith it will work out fast this round.

 

[HOVAH2.0]

I will cut down on my smoking signifigantly until I get my head above water, the cost of living and making money in SF, trumps getting high on weed someone else has grown!

FYi: I smoke for the quality of the high, but the high of current popular bud is fuzzy and weak.... a high of a lesser quality..
