dude during my NYSC days, i smoked lot of weed,it was fun, gosh! i wrote stuff, think good about world affairs, had new ideas, and then one party i over did it, i smoked 6 -sks, and also drank pepper soup mixed with sk, then i had a very bad trip, was scared of my life, in the morning i was normal but i knew i lost something, then began a phrase of severe depression, heart palpitation, weak reflexes, i was like in a waking dream, i lost ambition in life and dopamine was low in my brain, all stuff i found cool wasnt cool again, it was pain, i broke up with my ex even though she wanted to help me.i needed to be alone, i was not even an addict but i know what i passed through from withdrawing from it. let it be known Marijuana can be used to treat some diseases especially the oil but misusing the plant will definitely make you dependent on it and can destroy your life.( once you become dependent on any drugs, medically approved or not for survival it will destroy you)

do you know, how i came back to enjoy life again? i started doing exercise( long distance jogging) and playing football. all my heart palpitation stopped and i became damn happy with my life.

to go cold turkey be prepared for withdrawal symptoms(heart palpitation, depression, weak reflexes,boredom, living in a dream state life, no dreams and many more) it is almost similar to symptoms you get when quitting cigarette

Dude, avoid your friends like die
try as much as possible to stop smoking, the first week will be hard( keep a sheet to record your no smoking days)
run and jog every morning and evening
play football
find for activities that interest you
be prepared for withdrawal symptoms during these period, so jog and jog
eat lot of fruits
stay in the sun, your brain needs lot of vitamin d
The op is not serious he is smoking dope for the wrong reasons. I have been smoking since when i was in JSS3 till date my lips is not black. He need to get his priorities right i hustle during the day, smoke and sleep at night. Back to your story you made a very big mistake eating weed can kill person i will never advise my enemy to eat weed. As for smoking i will be in the Stoners league till i die, though i rest for 29 to 30 days yearly

i totally understand,we have a lot of similarities though.i too started smoking weed by 16, just before i got into the university.while in the university, i became a truant,i go to class like twice a week,my friends were all like me,peer pressure i guess.back at home, i started hanging out with junkies too.we thought we were enlightened.but like you, i started to feel empty inside.the high just doesnt feel the same.and i was doing badly in school too,had a couple of carryovers, im usually a very bright fellow.i was missing out on love and relationships too,i dont make time for ladies because im always high. i decided to quit, it took me two years though.i started by cutting down to just one joint a day,stopped hanging out with my friends,and right now i hardly smoke once a month.my life has greatly improved too,i remember things more.i intend to quit fully too.i guess the reason why mine has been slow is because i had no help,i did it on my own,am 23 now.

that was the greatest mistake i made, eating weed is bad and it takes long to wear out and infact, you dont know if you are high or not until it strikes you with force.

never in my life, will i ever eat weed.

I may be wrong

Eating weed can't kill you
Nobody has died from using weed

You may black out but not kill

No long talk. Been smoking since I was 16, now I'm 24. I've destroyed beautiful relationships, been in wrong company just because of this plant.

I don't know what sober life feels like anymore. These days I smoke to function, I smoke to be normal.. I need my life back. pls do not bash me. I've done a lot of that to myself. I need help now on how to quit.

Front page pls.. I know there are many others in my shoes.
You said you started smoking at the age of 16 and now you're 24. Thats eight years. By now should be able to know how weed works. Real weed smokerd dont find it hard to stop it, and they only smoke when they need divine imagination. I doubt it if you're a real smoker because it is very easy to stop it, very very easy. I smoke it for more than 25 years befor I finally stopped it and I must say it have no any side effect.

Limit your intake gradually, if this is impossible seek professional help.

Marijuana is not addictive like cigarette and other hard drugs, so if you want to quit just quit. No hard thing.

Hear the word of the Sovereign LORD O simple one:

I had planted you like a choice vine from the very best seed. How could you turn yourself before me, into a rotten wild vine?-- Jeremiah 2:21

If only you had paid attention to my commands, your peace would have been like a river, and your well-being like the waves of the sea.--Isaiah--48:18

Submit to God and be at peace with him; in this way all will be well with you.--Job 22:21

The ear that listens to the reproves of life abides among the wise!!!

Some people smoke weed as a form of self medication for
depression
anxiety
e.g social anxiety , phobic anxiety
Post Traumatic stress disorder
bereavement etc

In such cases stopping weed could lead to reemergence of the preexisting symptoms ,relapse of weed smoking or graduation to stronger drugs and a vicious cycle.

In such cases treating the underlying mental health problems becomes crucial in order to move on.

This topic interests me a lot, I believe as human we should have our limits and always reflect on our growth from time to time.

Iv had moments where smoking helped to decipher situations that seemed complex while I’ve had moments where smoking made me over-think simple situations.

All in all, best way forward i think is to cycle on and off weed. Quitting it cold turkey might stunt your growth in life. Weed helps and it kills too.

Exercising on a daily basis is the surest way to take weed smoking off your todo list smiley

There is no rationality in this


Even food consumption can be pathological and used for comfort or to manage emotional problems in the same dysfunctional way

Paracetamol and codeine ARE medicinal

Medicinal use and RECREATIONAL use are completely different things

Drinking alcohol responsibly and drunkenness are completely different things


With respect your talk about inflaming the hypothalamus is nonsense.

The science of marijuana is too complex to be reduced to a few opinionated moralizing ejaculations

There are all manner of excessive and compulsive behaviour whether it be eating ,masturbation,drinking, use of mobile phones, computers, playing video games etc

whether those behaviours tell us about the subject (individual) ,the object( substance/gadget) is up for inquiry and debate.

What is bizarre is unfounded and opinionated pronouncements inspired by nothing but fluff
