 Coolness: 685640 | like I said, as not fun as it is; do, or do not, there is no try.
It's not like weed is physicaly addictive. Psychologicaly, yeah, but the worst you're gonna get is maybe a couple nights having trouble falling asleep while you re-adjust to not having the THC in your system. It takes concious choices to roll up a joint or pack a bong; it's not something that'll just happen without you thinking about it/concentrating on it, it's not a nervous tick like chewing on a pencil or tapping/shaking your leg.. If you want to stop smoking weed, don't buy any. Don't buy any papers. When your friends or roommates are smoking and offer you some, as good as it smells, don't accept it. These are all concious decisions, concious choices. No one has a gun to your head and says "smoke this joint or die".. No one is holding your parents at knife-point and tellikg you to hit a bong or he's gonna gut them while you watch.. If you want to stop smoking weed, then don't smoke it. It's really that simple, and it's called willpower. If you can't put your foot down for something you "want" to do, well then you don't really want to do it, and you really DON'T have any willpower, do you? |

| Coolness: 685640 | yeah, and believe me, I understand fully how un-fun it is.. When I had my intestine problems that started up, every single time I smoked weed I'd become completely and totally paranoid, I'd get massive panic attacks, and it greatly enhanced the pain in my abdomen.. I'd spend 2-3 hours totally freaking out and thinking I was gonna die.. After 2-3 times of that happening, I finally had to go cold turkey with no weed.. Since then, I've taken a grand total of 2 tokes off of joints, and it's been the same effect..
Granted, I had the whole extra added bonus of 'if you smoke weed you're going to have a complete mental breakdown and think you're dying' to help the motivation, but I LOVE weed; the smell, how it felt when you were high, the taste of a nice blueberry or strawberry blunt, the temporary leave of reality... And I live with a pothead. He smoked at least 2-3 joints every night when he's back from work.. And appart from those 2 tokes I'd done, as much as I love the smell and every single time I want to just ask for one toke, I don't.. Yeah, I've got extra motivation, but believe me, it's completely against my will that I had to quit, and I still WANT to smoke. But I don't. |

 Coolness: 40800 | Shit after quitting, the idea would kinda TAKE HOLD OF ME to find some and light up. Good thing I had gotten rid of the smoking "friends" who would have been only too glad to let me have some. |

 Coolness: 88690 | Good for you, that is definitely not the solution for me. They do their thing and I will do mine. Most of my friends I've know for well over 10 years and I wouldnt change them for the world, they mean mroe to me than anything else in my life, these people although they smoke weed have proven time and time again that they will be there when I am in need and I have done the same for them.
Friends are the most important thing in my life, without their support and patience I wouldnt be half the man I am today. |

| Coolness: 40800 | No, YOUR LIFE is the most important thing in life. Sticking by your friends may make you feel cozy and warm inside at night, but you will eventually learn that "friends" only stick by you until they don't get out of it what they want FROM you.
Achievers have less friends than losers, who move in packs. |

Especially other peeps view on it. you suck. Oh look, Skeletor.. by the power of Greyskull... |

| Coolness: 685640 | Wow, I'm gonna have to go and partially agree with Horus on that. Your life IS the most important thing for you. Your friends, family and pets can all die, but if you're still alive, you still have something to live for; your continued survival.
You'd be amazed at how many of your "frieds" will practically forget you're even alive as soon as you're not as fun to hang out with as you once were. Since I've moved out to the appartment where I am now (2 years this november), I at first still 'sorta' went out.. I did a few radio shows, and played at like 3-4 parties, where I saw people. But other than that? I've had 3 friends come over to see me ONCE, my brother's been over 2-3 times, and my friend dave has been over 4 times. That's it. Yeah, everyone sends me a message or tells me over MSN that we haven't seen each other in so long, they're gonna come over soon and hang out soon, probably next week.. And here I am, still waiting. Hell, I only found out last week, from looking at a friend's photo albums on facebook, that he got married this past march. You'd be amazed at how fast your friends will drop you as soon as you're percieved as "boring", even your best friends. Stop drinking and stop smoking weed, and see how many people want to hang out with you. Despite having other activities you can partake in, when you're not on the same "wavelength" (ie intoxicated in some similar manner) there's a rift that forms, and you end up drifting appart, because they don't percieve you as being "fun" anymore since you're not as easily entertained as they are. |

| Coolness: 150510 | I agree with Hours as well, and I think my original suggestion was along the same lines.
But Fred, I don't think it's a question of you being "boring" or not as fun to hang out with. I have friends who I don't see anymore because, well, we live completely different lives. I live downtown, they live in the west. The ones who live downtown, may go to school, or have a busy schedule, like me, and we not have time to see each other. Over time, we get into a routine, and suddenly, the life we used to lead has changed, and the people that were a part of that life are gone with it. When it comes to drugs, moving away from the people who influenced you into doing them, no matter how important to you they are as friends, may be the best option. I don't go to raves anymore. Why? Because I don't hang out with ravers. Mind you I still do copious amounts of coke and pills. Why? Because my best friend is a heavy drug user, and he is a heavy drug user because he hangs out with me. If we were to stop hanging out with each other, there's a strong possibility that he will cut his consumption in half, and if HE really wanted to, he could stop all together. This is not to say that we would no longer be friends if we decided to stop hanging out together because we wanted to cut back on the amount of drugs we take. I moved to Edmonton because I was getting out of control, and sure enough I quit smoking weed, and I didn't touch coke, or pills for nearly a year. But I have a serious drug and alcohol problem, so I need something more that time away to help me, but for you, who knows, it just might be the solution. |

 Coolness: 201275 | it depends how you know your friends. If they are people you party with, and you remove the partying, then the basis of the friendship is gone at that point. If they are people you are generally sober when you are together, you can easily stay friends whether you are using anything or not. |

| Coolness: 88690 | These people I partied hardcore with and these are the ones that stuck. the oes that really are my friends, bear in mind that I dont do any otehr drugs guys at all. We're all close to 30 if not there yet and have known each other for over a decade, we stuck together through thick and thin and getting rid of them makes absolutely no sense to me.
When I did quit for a couple of months they were all very nice and tried to smoke less or just smoke in another room or whatever. It's called respect. Plus like I said before, I think willpower is the key. I quit cigarettes, im almost @ 8 years now, I think I can do this. But I dont think I wanna do it just yet, I have been tapering my intake though, eventually I will get there. |

| Coolness: 150510 | I think you've misunderstood the point of our message.
The point was that: IF you REALLY want to make a change in you life, you must make all the sacrifices necessary in order to accomplish your goals -- which includes putting friends aside (AND YOU FIRST). I am still friends with the people I left when I made that move, and doing what I did had no affect on our friendship, and being by their sides every other weekend is a testament to that point. Do what you will, it's not our problem... You asked for advice, and we gave you some. Take it as you wish. |

 Coolness: 93545 | I agree with Horus on this one, sort of. Technically horus agrees with me (sort of). You dont have to tone down the smoking friends...you just need other friends, so that when your smoking friends are getting high in their apartment or before the movie, you are doing something else, with someone else.
If you live with smokers, your never going to quit. I hate to say it, but weed is a social medium of sorts. Its always more fun to do with others; so dont hang around the people you smoke it with when theyre smoking, and the fun of weed is gone. If I were you, this is what I would try and get across to your smoking friends: Im trying to cut back, and would appreciate it that when we chilled, we did more than just sit around and smoke. I dont mind that smoking is part of an activity, but don't want to chill with you guys when smoking is the activity. For instance, goign to the movies with pot smoking friends is fine, even if they smoke up. Sitting in an apartment and smoking while watchign deal or no deal is not. |

 Coolness: 106165 | You have to get used to refusing joints, after a while, your pot-head friends will get the message and stop offering. |

| Coolness: 201275 | It's weird though, there is a difference between a pothead and a stoner. I have friends who are potheads but they aren't stoners; they smoke a lot but are still productive. Stoners are what I can't stand. |
