I Think It's Time For A Break

I've been smoking some sticky chronic now for the better part of the summer..there were days when I didn't have any but there have been more days when I did have smoke. It's been a decent summer for me so far but I think it's time to slow down on the chronic smoking for a few weeks.

Going back to school next month, I don't need to be stoned for that.

I have 2 grams of straight up chronic that I'll save for after my break.

I think I'll take a 6 week break just to clear my head and get the herb out of my system. Hopefully my tolerance will drop enough to where I can get lit with a couple tokes and be good for the night.

Maybe it's time to re evaluate why I smoke mj. I do believe it is a good thing to be able to smoke mj but only in moderation and not every day like I have been doing. MJ can be used as a tool for many things and maybe I should start treating it like that instead of smoking just to smoke.

I smoked my last bowl this morning and it was a good high to go out on.

Turns out, my 6 week break will end on September 11th..that's kinda odd.

Have fun smoking the sweet herb everyone, I'll take my next toke in 6 weeks...hopefully I don't break down and raid my stash within the next day or two.

All that is easy for you to say, but right now, i miss the days of having plenty of weed, being able to wake up, roll over, reach for my pipe and smoke. It's a good idea to slow down during school, as in, dont smoke before class, and do your homework before smoking, but its SUMMER MAN, LIVE IT UP WHILE YOU CAN!

edit: on second thought, do what you feel is best. Im kind of applying my logic to your situation, which doesnt work, so best of luck man! :wave:

Thanks for the comments Gypsy and Satan. I will try my best to hold out on smoking for at least a month..I think 6 weeks is a little long for a break but it's not impossible. By the end of August I should have lowered my tolerance and have new respect for MJ>

It will be tough to hold out on smoking for a while but it will be worth it that's for sure.

I remeber when I first started smoking and would only smoke like once a month or so..man would I get ripped!

I have a Painting class I'm taking this semester so I think I will smoke when coming up with ideas for paintings. I already have one idea for a painting which I think would look good on canvas. Painting will be a blast if I can use my mj to spark my creativity.

thanks for the suppotive words pomh, I do appreciate them. You're definently a kind soul that genuinely cares about people.

it will be good to lower my tolerance and get a new perspective on things ..kinda ask myself why I smoke marijuana in the first place.

I was busy all day doing Yahoo Fantasy Football drafts and signing up for college classes. Didn't really think about smoking but I did enjoy my high for a couple hours and got some stuff done that will get me going in the right direction.

man, that's awesome! In high school and middle school, my favorite classes were sculpture and ceramics. After i did my first oil painting though, i found a new passion for painting. I was so close to going to art school, but i decided to major in horticulture at the last minute, but sculpting and oil paintings will always be a part of my life. And, pot was always a good inspiration for ideas on what to sculpt.

lol in the 10th grade i made a sculpture of marilyn manson wearing his "dope hat" and underneath the hat was a bong. the carb was his nose and the bowl was concealed behind his hair in the back of his head. all i had to do was break off some of the hair and i would have had an instant bong. Only problem was, my teacher broke the fuckin thing while transporting it from an art show, but oh well. It was in the school display case for a long time, and i loved the praise i got for it, from teachers and students alike. good times good times. I think the first thing i do when i get the money is buy a kiln, potters wheel, and some painting supplies. I reallly enjoy making art. lol

Well, I lasted a whole day without smoking any herb. The reason I smoked some was to see if I could replace a med I'm on with weed in the morning. I took 6 hits out of a small metal one hitter. I don't even know how much 6 hits is in terms of grams but I know it's pretty small.

I feel very relaxed and pretty medicated..not ripped or blazed or stoned..just medicated and relaxed. It feels good.

I'm thinking with how much it takes to get me medicated that I could do this once a week and make my stash of 4 buds last me longer. Maybe into September.

I know I said I wanted to take a break but maybe once a week will be better than taking a 4 or 6 week break.

Weed can be used in a lot of useful ways and not just for getting totally stoned.

it doesnt gross me out it just isnt visually appealing... cant say i read much of his posts for fear of the mutated baby with vagina's for eyes nextdoor

I used 2- toking is awesome... it just sucks because school is where you want to have the clearest head... if you got that chronicboombonic HEAD HIGH buzz you dont have to worry about being "stoned" you know what im sayin? couchlock type herb isnt for studying... just "UP" buzzs i think are beneficial and keeps your mind smoke free but still high... its all about the herb

reward system is nice, especially if exercising... you always push yourself further each time so u can treat yourself with a fat spliff after a nice and exhausting work out... exercising works the body and MiNd... a joint is 5 times nicer after a workout... definately... :joint:

i know exactly where you are coming from "i used to grow". i just used more than twice a day for many years, i felt that the weed i loved had become something i took for granted and i had lost respect for it. with my wifes help i managed to quit for over a year, and im glad i did, smoking occasionally and restricting how much you smoke is much better for you.
good luck man :wave:

I used to Grow - I think your probably better off just cutting back for those 6 weeks. I think once a week is actually a good idea.

I think if you tried to do just weekends, then it would be harder to abstain during the week possibly because you were high all weekend or whatever.

Good luck. Its totally possible to go without. But you know what, I think you should also go for 2 weeks only. Most people who achieve great things in life, set goals that are not too hard, but not too easy, according to my business class. They set goals that they would fail in 30% of the time, or something...

So, maybe 2 or 3 weeks would be better, smoking only once per week. You can hit that goal, and have a lot of time to reflect on what weed means to you, etc.

Good luck with whatever you do though.
