So after chronic weed smoking since I was 19 with a 6 month break when I was 21 I have decided to give up weed, or at least reduce it back down to the occasional recreational spliff. Gone are the days of smoking it habitually every evening and often throughout the night.
My two reasons for the change are my health (both mental and physical) and of coarse I’m going to be saving at least £30 each week, probably more to be honest.
I’ve not bought any for a week now and the last time I smoked anything was Friday night, a friend came round with a few joints and I thought it would be rude not to.
I have to say its been much easier than I expected, no cravings despite always smoking my weed with tobacco. I’ve tried to quit before but not been mentally ready so failed after 36 hours or so, this time though I want to do it.
It feels good not to be coughing all the time I can’t deny that but I don’t actually feel any better for it, in fact I’d have to say I’ve become an emotional rollercoaster, but this reminds me why I started smoking it as often as I did. It put my fluctuating mood on an even plateau. I seem to be going back to the way I was when I was 19, a hyper-depressive mess.
I’m certainly not going to just fall back into smoking it the way I was but I also really don’t want it to turn out that weed actually was regulating my mood as effectively as I led myself to believe.
Why did I even make this thread? Because I’m not having a spliff so I need to pass the time somehow
