Re: Confession? Regret? Does it matter?

Don't take advice from anyone on here that hasn't been a serious pothead themselves...
I tried to quit smoking pot a while back because I realized that I had forgotten my reason for doing it in the first place; i didnt stop.

Bottom line- you cant blame your smoking on being stressed and bla bla all that crap. People smoke weed TO GET HIGH. that's the only reason, you can tell yourself otherwise, but that's the bottom line. I'm trying to cut my use down to where I only smoke before I go to bed.
Don't start saying that you use it in order to get to bed though because then you start to believe that and develop a dependency on it then think you cant sleep well unless you've gotten high. It's more of a way to know you can control it and something to sorta look forward to at the end of the day i guess, if you feel you need it DUring the day and it doesn't interfere with much because all you're going to do is chill out and go to bed.

There's nothing wrong with smoking pot as long as you have your *%#&¤?§* together. I can't think of one entire week during my senior year in high school where i was sober.
im fine too. it's all a psychological mind game.

i never smoked before school at the beginning of the year because i was drum major of my H.S. marching band cuz that was a responsibility i had, after marching season, i smoked before school sometimes. id smoke everyday after school, sometimes from 3 until midnight without stopping. ive cut down on it a lot but ive been using it so much that i can control my high and i dont feel it as much...so im not as impaired because i know i can focus and concentrate if i can tell myself im not high.

really though, as long as you keep your *%#&¤?§* together, marijuana is not a drug. if you let it take you over and cause you to be a loser, then it is.
dont let anyone tell you what you should do. i became the biggest pothead i know and i still graduated in the top ten percent of my class with honors, i was still a great all-state musician for years and im going to a university soon here...which i dont have to pay for due partially to financial aid but mostly scholarships. i'd say i turned out fine.

i say all that but i also wanna add to it- if you can quit, do it. if you dont want to give it up yet...then dont, no big deal, if you've come that far, then you're strong enough to realize when you should stop and what the bare minimum is to feel a high and then enjoy that...or maybe i just do that for conservation purposes...ya never know ;)
