| Hi, new member here... Hello to all those that feel pain and joy that same way i do. I am 25, male, smoker and a frequent marijuana user. I smoke about 1-2 cigs a day and weed about 3 times day. To be honest with you, I don't exactly know why I registered. A part of me thinks i have a nasty habbit that will cause be long term unhappiness and another part of me thinks i'm just a young successful guy living it up. I was also touched by the stories of other members. I enjoy various drugs such as cocaine, norco, vicoden, mushrooms, alcohol on occassion. |

| Welcome Ithink, I agree about the need to speak with a stranger. Objectivity is important when making life decisions. I was once a frequent marijuanna user. I realized that the bad outweighed the good. I had to look at it in an objective manner. I wrote a list of pros and cons and seriously considered the weight of each entry. The bottom line for me was that I just didn't get high anymore. It was a routine, and I wasn't getting anything more out of it. After I got over the initial discomfort of withdrawal, I found that I had much more time and a clearer mind. I look at my daily MJ habit as a waste of my time now. Thats just my thoughts on weed. One more thing to add.... I suffered a perioid of withdrawal when I quit my daily MJ habit. After the withdrawal cleared up, I was fine. I seriously feel like I'm so much better off without the habit. I am a young, successful guy who is enjoying life too. I'm now doing this without ANY mind altering substances. Life is good enough for me now. I hope you find what you are looking for here. Keep posting! chip |
