im asking for help, and get your facts straight,it been proven reefer does not fry brain cells. I've written a 10 page essay on medicinal marijuana for class and done plenty of research the only negative aspect to pot is when you burn it, hence the vaporizer.

The smell of smoke is very distinct so I asked a friend why he doesn't eat weed to avoid smelling like a crackhead. He gave some weird answer about "it's not the same!"

Can you explain? How is it not the same?

I'm happy to hear that you're not in denial and you've recognized how these drugs are destroying your life. That's a great first step.

It would be great if you had a circle of friends and or a professional that could arrange an intervention. You could get your life back after some rehabiliatation. Your memory would return and you may mature naurally and have a normal life before permanent damage is done. Marijuana is a gateway drug and it is flattering to you that you are wise enough to recognize its dangers.

You may seek help through an experienced addiction specialist, friends, family and clergy. You go for it. Reclaim your personality and brain power. Congratulations!

money for rent,utilites and food on a 10/hour job is tough. i need $800 a month for a bedroom and some food. not a lot for some folks but it sucks having to work full time and go to school.

Here is the thread I was referring to. I guess I just don't understand how you have the right to bitch about working so much and being tight with money while you've "spent hundreds of dollars on blunts".

Grow up. It's pathetic you need a drug just so you can enjoy life. Sounds more like a crutch than anything else.

I've got to the point where i need to take a tolerance break. I dont get high anymore, i just feel normal.

tolerance break? you fool... clearly now is the time to enhance your high by stepping up to a big boy's drug like meth. everyone knows this.

1/8th a day? Uh huh.

When I was smoking, I bet I could outsmoke you without a problem. I went through an eighth a week.

Though, I understand everyone's tolerance is different.. but an eighth a day is absurd. If true, that's essentially admitting that you also have a garden, unless you can afford 40$ or more per day.

Nancy Reagan told me it was a stepping stone to cocaine. Everyone knows this.

This is just some useless troll/bragging thread. You smoke a lot of pot for free you poor pitiful person. I feel your pain.

I think that's pretty much what he has alluded to in his previous posts.

Edit: Go to a different professional and get help with quitting. You have taken the first step by admitting you have a problem.

Heh. I guess should have read the thread.

I still don't believe it though. I've never met anyone that could truly go through 1/8 a day by themselves. With a group of friends and a large water pipe? Sure. Alone? Hell no. Even with said large water pipe.. lol.

It would be physically impossible, for me at least. I'd just go to sleep, and it's rather difficult to continue smoking in that state. :p

tolerance my friend, tolerance.

I'm well aware of tolerance issues. Even when I was smoking all day, every day, and even if there was only schwag around.. I wouldn't be able to do that.

I guess everyone is different, but I've never encountered it. *shrug*

Anyway.. If you want to quit, then do it. Yeah, it sucks. I go through terrible withdrawls when I quit, but the worst of them only lasts a day. It's all uphill after the 1st day.

thats the thing, i can't thats why i saw an addiction specialist. I know its not like im doing opiates or benzo's on the daily its just pot, but i can't stop, if i go to watch a movie, i have to be high (or normal again for me) if im going to eat , i have to smoke first (food taste so much better) the only time i don't smoke is when im sleeping.

Can't is a bullshit answer. Just do it! quit for a couple of days and if you CANT do that then check yourself into rehab

Fixed that for you. Downhill means easier.
