<IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif"> I've just stopped smoking pot after 1 year of constant drug abuse. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be, but the battle has still not been completly won.
At first, it was my friends who persuaded me to stop because they were worried about my mental and physical health. They really helped me through the hard times, but now I have no motivation. The main reason why I started smoking pot was due to my parents who are incredibly strict and amazingly tight. I suppose that I wanted to rebel against their tight regeme. I have literally just finished arguing with them and I feel like I need a joint to calm me down, but I know that my friends will be very with me. Please help!

I just have to add that this is a prime example of being addicted to puff...and mental addiction is just as hard to break in a lot of ways. I hope that u manage to get yourself togather and be happy coz thats the most important thing at the end of the day <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">
if you want a joint take a joint if you dont dont.
just because something is illegal does not make it wrong, dangerous, big or clever.
dont just do things to make everbody else happy or even to rebel, do what you like for your reasons, if you dont want to smoke dont.
Sorry but u r very wrong in saying its nothing to worry bout just coz its pot. Ive seen people messed up on this and it may not be considered as serious as cocaine but its still a drug and still has the abillity to fuck up your life...anything can it has nothing to do with what it is!
Same happened to me mate. Now I hardly evr smoke it through the week and save it for after Raving, Cubbing, Pubbing.

Anyway, I work at a full service computer company. I am the manager of the web design department and do my job very well..at least
I think so, as well as my customers <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">
In fact, I know for a fact that pot makes me more creative, it seems to open my mind up. I remember one day I was having the hardest time coming up with a layout for a website (not stoned). Still hadnt come up with anything by lunch time so I go home toke up and I got all kinds of ideas! So in a way it actually helps my business. haha
Anyway, I think the only real danger with pot is getting busted for it because it is, unfortunately, Illegal. I don't plan on quitting smoking but my intake is very high.. too high.. and I WOULD like to cut it down some. Like only weekends or something, but after 6 years of constant smoking it will be fairly hard....
*tokes up*
probably not wise at all since the police (sKum?) could read this board oh-so-easily... i happen to live with one in fact. <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/tongue.gif">

I think that most people who do drugs have dealt it, in one way or another. Even sorting out your mate a smoke is dealing. I used to sell loads of hash and pills but I give that up. I used to spend all the money in my hand to easy, or tick ppl up when I was wrecked and then forget about it in the morning.
After doing numerous sorts of drugs for a few years you realise that's it better to let other ppl take the risk and only buy what you want. If I'm going out with my mates I'll buy something to sort 'em out with but that's all.

i don't want to preach but i suggest a lot of you look at your lifestyles and ask yourselfs if it's what you want. if it is, ask yourself it you really think that or do you accept the way you are/what you do for fun because you just want to take drugs? i've cut from taking drugs 24/7 to now only at weekends, with a view to stopping altogether.
and i've never felt as good <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">
Anyway, no drug is safe we should all know that, but i think most of you will agree that Alcohol is much more addictive and dangerous than weed will ever be. And alcohol is legal?
I have a question for you Zim...
Did you smoke cigarettes before taking harder drugs?
Or perhaps you went to school before taking harder drugs, or church? So maybe these things lead you to harder drugs? :P
If anything cigarettes led me to weed then on from there to harder.
That just makes you a loser. haha

i wasn't expecting any sense fom the kids on here
yeah i did smoke ciggarettes before weed - but the reason i did that was a bit different, tbh it was only to look 'cool' in front of other people. intoxicants are a lot different really
and since when does dangerous mean 'detrimental to life' or something similar? the social effects weed has are huge, and it's funny that only now i can look back on what i used to do - staying in/going to freind's houses and just watching TV or listening to music whilst caned - and think to myself how sad i was. fine, i was with freinds, but it aint much of a life.
or maybe it is and i'm just the weird one, i couldn't give a flying fuck really - at least i'm getting my brain back <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">

I thinks you need a little more then Mike, coz it's not working <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/tongue.gif">
Maybe not Detrimental but seriously losing your girlfriend or your job is not considered dangerous. heh that just sounds ridiculous. Maybe giving your girlfriend your car keys.... now that could be dangerous <IMG alt="image" SRC="http://www.thesite.org/ubb/smile.gif">
