What's wrong with marijuana?

>



It's an illegal drug, and this is a family site. We do not condone illegal activities.


and there is plenty wrong with marijuana but this is not the place to discuss it.


discussion over.

October 22nd will be my 1 year since I quit smoking. I started smoking when I was 15, almost 16, and quit at 33 just about exactly 18 years after I started. That's a scary prospect, to be in my 30s and have smoked for half my life. I always associated people smoking half their lives to people who were older, like in their 50s at least.

Whatever method you use to quit smoking, the bottom line is really simple. You have to want it. Genuinely want it. If you do, you'll find a way that works for you and you'll quit. It's that simple. It sucks, and it's really hard. I was a complete basket case when I quit - and damn near homicidal for a good 3 weeks after quitting, and that was WITH the patch (which I actually recommend). I either cried all the time or really genuinely wanted to harm people. I had ridiculously ****ed up dreams from being on the patch, and yeah, I gained weight. You quit any stimulant and you're gonna gain weight.

A year later I'm still just as determined to not pick it up again as a habit. I can honestly say that while I have smoked maybe 10 or so cigarettes in the last year, I haven't felt the actual "urge" to smoke except for once, when one of my dogs died. I have no desire whatsoever to smoke on any kind of regular basis. And I'm really really proud of myself for finally quitting.

Griff, you should totally be a motivational speaker...

nah, right now I'm working on becoming a transmission repair girl

LOL I agree though on the motivational speaker part.

Yeah, that is the biggest part I am worried about. "Gaining" the weight. I have gone up in weight, but I kinda like it on me now. Just don't want to gain anymore. Especially not in the stomach!! No way, not an ounce more or anything.

I need to do this though. Maybe I guess I should not just work out but run more.

I thought the eaxct same thing from an earlier comment. Kudos to your very diverse array of genius - that's why I keep you around [Now start working on my chops for the Calander ]

>
What? Right now you're working on becoming a tranny, repair girl? This I got to see.
D-Man's been a Tranny all his life [But only on Saturdays and no he looks nothing like a female even with makeup]

D-man, I can fix you.

though ive quit a long time ago, once in a blue moon i like getting 1 grit from my friend and just lighting it up and smoke that grit peacefully by looking at some really nice scenery and i get "high"
-can anyone relate to this? it always makes me feel like how i was in the past living in japan

Its a cotine buzz that you get on your first few cigs or lips. Makes your head spin for about 15 mins pleasantly then you just get extremely euphoric. The main reason is started smoking.

>


Oh kinda like(D) doing NOS. LOL Ah, how I miss those brain damaging Duster cans...... But that is bad kiddies! Don't ever do it! Because you can really mess your lungs up worse than a few cigs, and you become dumb as hell!


Ooops, I meant LIKED. LOL See what I mean?

Duster cans lol... whipped cream ftw

weed is good, and legal here in california, so yeah

They don't want this to become a discussion of weed though. Yes, I have never met anyone who smokes weed to be known or known anyone to catch lung cancer and yes, scientists are discovering that it has at least 10% chance of reducing cancer (average American who is healthy is at 25% risk). But even so, it is considered a drug (stupid government because they can't compete) and therefore illegal. Not all in California, because Government stepped in and made busts on those "legal" shops. (I am such a Hypocrite and here's why... LOL)

Anyways, because this site is a family site. On behalf of the mods and everyone else, it would be best if we kept this on topic with quitting smoking, and not about the use of illegal drugs or anything else illegal, because if no one puts a stop to it, it makes us look bad. As a community, we cannot have that.

> WHY DO YOU HAVE TO TELL EVERYONE!!



j/P

>Well, if you've successfully removed wiener from your life than i suppose that makes you qualified

I think i'll keep mine though, i'm gunna play this guy thing out and see where it gets me

>


>AMEN!!

first of all i have to chime in on the marijuana haters. In california you can get hand cramps and smoke as much weed as you want all day everyday wherever you want, if you start deleting posts because i said you should smoke weed to help you quit smoking and improve your life then you need to go back through all these posts about smoking 2 packs a day, drinking, NOS, and delete them all too because none of that is family orientated.

IMHO if we want to talk about THC then we should be able to, this is the off topic section in a forum full of older people who like to modify cars (which is illegal). If you dont believe in marijuana then just ignore it. Dont cry because it is illegal in some places, aspirin is legal, but if you take 13 of them mother****ers it'll be your last headache, are you going to delete posts about aspirin too?

Nice Katt Williams Quote

For what it's worth, I agree, although continuing is getting off the subject and call me a boyscout, but I don't want to upset the mods here. I like this site and I am working on getting in good with everyone, because it is important to me. Which is why I respect what they ask and if they say don't do it, I am not going to do it. But those are good points and the argument honestly could go either way.

i agree, i love forums in which u can pretty much talk about anything. except the 18+ stuff.
but yeah man in here in CALI i smoke all the weed i can, its like oxygen in my lungs lol.
i hope one day we have kush cigarettes, weed isnt a drug honestly. just lame ass government cant tax it so its illegal.
-BACK TO TOPIC. cold turkeys the best for ur stuff. dont be influenced by others smoking, sometimes i almost start back up bc so many people are still smoking, but i say to myself yo **** them

Wait, weed is legal in CA?

**** it, I'll drive over right now. A road trip to CA is cheaper than a flight/swim to Amsterdam.

>

well its legal if u say u have insomnia to a doctor, u get ur med card, and now have access to the dankest bud alive
OG KUSH, third EYE,

lol most doctors you dont even need to tell them you have insomnia or anxiety or ne thing you just slip them a benj and you got access to as much ganja as your heart desires

>

o rly?

well my friend lives out there and he said thats what happens normally, its very corrupt.

<----- driving to cali

Are you guys going to continue this thread jack sub topic on weed that they asked you not to go on about? Or can we get back on ex smokers? Is that all right with you? Not trying to be an @$$ (Which I hear I am notorious for), but because this isn't related to being an ex smoker.

>

Okay, Seeing as i'm a "marijuana hater" Do me a favor and look at the bold blue bar that displays the TITLE of THIS THREAD... Does it say "discuss marijuana"? Does it say "debate on cali and it's stoners"? er... no i dont see that...

Where in that title does it say "let's talk pot"? Perhaps i'm too stoned to see it OR... Or or or... Perhaps it doesen't say that. Maybe this thread is about cigarettes? Maybe, JUST MAYBE, the entire nation doesn't live by pot nor give a damn about it. I believe if we all did, then there'd be a potleafs instead of stars on the american flag

Not everyone cares. No offense to you or your billy-bad-ass additude (just because you smoke weed) but we're not discussing pot. Go drink some coffee or something, and re-read this thread You've obviously fired your brain way too much to comprehend anything past your next hit.

btw: I know and understand the value of having a bag; but there are other things that you can do in life too Dont be so one tracked. Alchol and tobaco are legal in the entire country. You post has lived because it's legal in your state. Big freakin deal. This thread is about ciggerettes and the best way to quit smoking.

Your idea may have been a good one, But Smoking pot is still Smoking. We're discussing ways of NOT smoking. Yes, i smoke 2 packs of marbrol cigerettes a day. Easy. Sometimes i'll crack into a third for a few before bed. But; That's the topic of discusion in this thread.

Now: all of the people whom want to declare they are potheads and show off to each other; Go make yourself a thread. Enjoy. Have fun. But quit with the hijack on this thread talking about everthing that dosen't matter.

(damn, you know it's bad when i'm telling people to get back on topic )



[/soapbox_rant]

All I can say is I quit quitting!

>

That's what happens to me every time i try to quit. (actually, you should PM me i have a whole little speech that cracks people up about quiting quitting)
