Ah, the evil weed! It meant more to me than ANYTHING. I was a full-fledged Alcoholic pothead for 33+ years. About eight years ago my best friend died of a OD. She was like my sister, & I finally realized that ALL drugs were not anything to not take seriously or laugh about anymore.I began to enjoy it less & less as time went by.
It got to the point that around 2/3 of the time I didn't even get a "happy" high anymore, something that attracted to marijuana in the first place. It gradually was replaced by INTENSE paranoia & MORBID introspection. I quit buying it in '06, smoked it 3-4 times in '07, and quit it completely ( along with drinking), the latter part of '08. It just wasn't working for me anymore.
Maybe YOU can smoke it. Me? I had to come to the conclusion that I was a all-or-nothing personality. I can't have one joint or one beer or one shot. I have to forsake it ALL.
One other thing: stoners are annoying AS HELL to me now.(!)
