Well I had a problem with it when I was 12 because my dad did it. I severly limited myself to the point I'd have a smoke twice a month. After that, quitting was easy. A lot of my friens we're doing it, and so did I. But then one of my best friends quit, and I just... stopped. But it's not always that easy. You should cut back. Don't be afraid of your future. You only have one life to live. Have fun. But focus. Especially if you're in high school. But, one thing that is really good is to talk to an adult. I had a bad situation with suicide after I quit because of the effects. But I turned out okay. Talking really helps. Don't do something you'll regret. Once you think you'll realize I'ts stupid to do things like that. Why be afraid of your future when standing up to it will make it better. I know saying it is easy and doing it's hard, and I understand you. Just try hard and things get done, and in the end it all works out.

You know what I hate? People who think because X effects them one way, everyone should feel that way too. Pot is addictive in that it makes you feel loose and good. Feeling good is addictive. Like hanging out with friends, or your favorite video game. Fuck people are more addicted to WoW or Evercrack than weed. Anything that feels good can be addictive, that doesn't make it bad, it makes you Personally not able to handle it.

Oh jesus christ. Fuck you. Try quiting tobacco if you want to know what real addiction is about. Or heroin. Or alcohol (if you're an alcoholic)for that matter.
anyone can give up the sweet leaf. But why the fuck would you want to?

That is true. It seems as if smoking pot becomes somewhat of a habit rather than a true "addiction".

Ok. I smoked pot for years. I smoked so much that I would have a cone first thing in the morning and last thing before bed. Two years ago my boys started noticing what I was doing, and that's when I decided enough was enough. I'm not the sort of mother who can tell her kids "don't tell anyone..." whatever. It's too much for a kid to take on. So I quit. Wasn't cold turkey...
One of the worst things coming off the pot is the inability to get to sleep. It is physically addictive, never mind the mentally addictive part which I will get to shortly. So I wouldn't touch it all day and I would have two cones before bed, long after the boys were asleep. Because I hadn't had it all day, it worked like a charm. After a couple of days I cut it back to one cone. Two days later it was a half a cone. Mind you this half cone was blowin my mind :happysad: . Next day I just though, well fuck, if all it takes to get me to sleep is half a cone, then I don't really need anything. And I didn't. Been two years and two months since I touched it.
I'm an addictive personality. Oh my God, the internet... but let's not go into that...
I've always been someone who get's depressed easily, and I mean clinically. I spent about 4 years smoking every day and it numbed everything. I didn't get stressed as much and didn't spend too much time thinking about things that weren't great. I drove, cooked, played with the kids, went to work, everything, stoned. The THC takes 2 months to fully leave your bloodstream. Now this is where it got really nasty...
I took my kids to their dad's house one night to sleep over. I wasn't planning to be breathing in the morning. I had spent so long burried in the blur of the pot that four years worth of emotions came crashing down on me and I was having a nervous breakdown. I couldn't do myself in, but I was a wreck. I spent 10 days in hospital with the breakdown.
I'm fine now, and I have said waaaaaaaaaaay too much :redface: . My point is it's bloody hard, even if the will is there and you can get over the hurdle of not needing it physically, you need help with the emotional stuff before you get to the stage where I was at. Talk to a counsellor, they won't judge you. They are trained not to and they have heard a lot worse. I was freaked out that the nurses would interfere with my parenting knowing that I had given up the pot after years of smoking it, but they said they could see nothing wrong with the way I was parenting. I had my kids sorted out with all their stuff, etc. (eg. my eldest son has mild autism and always has all the educational/extra-curricular support I can get him). They said they seldom saw a mum that was so worried about her kids.
Do it. Do it now. Give it up before you get worse. Once you get all the emotional shit out of the way, your life will be ten times better. You will have more energy, motivation, and positive feelings about the future. And your future will be much brighter without it. Trust me. I know. Not everyone gets hooked like I did, but some of us do. I will never touch it again, not even one puff. I learnt my lesson.
Steelasp, don't shoot your mouth off about things you don't understand. He just told you he can't just give it up, so obviously not anyone can. Everyone is different. Grow up.
