Chronic weed smokers and wood.

[nowayjose]

Anyone out there smoke heavily and then go cold turkey? I went from about 1 - 1 1/2 ounces a month to 0 consumption as part of my new years resolution though I actually quit before new years eve. Since then, the little guy doesn't want to stand at attention anymore. I assume this is temporarry but am wondering if anyone else has had a similar experience and how long it lasted. On the bright side, it will help my other resolution which is to give up pooning.

Never give up the weed dude.

With me, it lasted until I started up again:Þ Good luck!

This May Help

I was prepared to quit, but on New Years Eve I met a dealer who sold me some fantastic hydro for only 120 an ounce. I've been stoned ever since.

How long did you actually quit for and how much did you smoke before quitting? That would be helpful info. Thanks.

For those of you saying never give up the weed, if it causes me this kind of problem now I'd hate to see what will happen after more years of heavy use. I also doubt that I've smoked my last joint ever just for a while.

By my standards you sound like a heavy smoker.
Such sudden cold turkey could cause depression.
Depression is a common cause of ED.
Perhaps some help from an addiction medical specialist could help ease the transition.

hifi,

reasons:

1. Can't talk to chicks when high at all!
2. Persistant hacking cough (already gone!)
3. Always thinking of cool shit to do but never doing it.
4. #1 leads me to pooning which in the end isn't really that satisfying for me.
5. No pot an no pooning should save me close to $1000 a month!
6. Wake and bake then rush home after work for a 'fix'
7. Damn I forgot what #7 was. Oh that is #7

My plan was to quit for a month and then only use it as a hangover remedy and maybe the odd planned night in. But seeing what has happened, I may just stay off for good. Even when I cut down in Dec. life immediately improved. I'm very motivated for the gym, am dropping weight like crazy, chatting women and getting good responses and I have almost no desire to participate in this hobby anymore. Cold turkey is a little painful but the benefits of quitting have really made it easier. And for the immediate problem, there are lots of pills available these days that will wake up the little guy until he's back on his own two feet. I guess what it comes down to is that I realised that weed was completely fucking up my social life and that's why I have to stop or at least cut down in a big way. So far, so good. I just wish someone who's been through this would post something like Ya in two weeks (or even two months) the little guy will be back and better than ever. That would relieve a crapload of tension I'm feeling right now.

Apparently, in my case, 4 days is what it takes. Whew!!!!!!!!!! Once I start sleeping again I'll be in great shape.

I was just thinking the exact same thing

I used to get so horny when I smoked weed, I could jack off for an entire day if I had enough to keep me going. When I gave it up (because my job was suffering and my girlfriend kept call me a pot head and saying she was starting to find me boring, albeit not in the sack, not that I need to justify my reasons ) I found it almost nearly impposible to get an erection unless I was watching crazy amounts of porn. Now I have no girlfriend and I am dying to get on the net and smoke big fatties and jack off for hours watching porn, but I don't want to go through the weird withdrwals that getting off da bud brought me in the first place. I really think that it can affect us more than we like to imagine here in BC. I love the bud but the stuff here is pretty powerfull, who knows what it is doing to our gonads!

First off i just want to say i was kidding with my first post, the only problem i have with wood is that it wont go away:Þ

I've recently been forced into 'taking some time off' as my source is empty, and since the first day I've had a hard on that won't go away. I have to masteurbate frequently, and I've been spending more time with my favorite ladies.

I'm gonna go broke at the pace I'm going:Þ

I love my bc bud!! but fortunately it has never caused any social, financial, or sexual problems for me... SWEEET!!! I can keep smoking it.

But yea... I'm still a little unmotivated.. I just try not to smoke any until I've gotten what I need to get done, done.

 

[samantha_van]

I just quit smoking a cigarettes exactly 3 weeks ago.. Did it cold turkey.. No point in just cutting down cuz you'll never stop!

I still smoke weed.. Good for the soul

lisa, the trick is not to drink. The liquor brings me down anyway(you'll understand when you're older And it's unsafe to drive when I'm drunk.

Right on NoWayJose, keep it going. I used to smoke weed regularily 10 years ago. I stopped all together and have never gone back. We seem to downplay the impact of the stuff on our mental and physical health, especially our lungs. I occasionally think back fondly to some memories of the those days, but never want to return.

I'm quite pleased with my self control. I still have a bag sitting about six feet away as I type and haven't dipped into it yet. I'll see what happens when February rolls around. And, no you can't have it, whoever is thinking that. Thanks for the words of encouragement folks. I've come to realize that my smoking was a symptom of my problems, not the cause. I've made a lot of changes in my life and '05 will be better than '04 with or without weed.

NoWayJose,

I can't believe our similarities! I quit smoking pot as a New Years resolution after years of being chronic (I was only smoking about 1/2 an ounce per month was the only difference) for the same reasons, and I feel amazing! I've felt my motivation come back, I actually want to go to the gym, I'm more sociable, and it seems I get natural highs from adreneline that had completely disappeared when I was smoking every day. The main difference is that after I quit, my sex drive went through the roof, but ironically, my urge to see SP's has all but disappeared. As an added bonus, I know that if I stick to my resolution, I know that the occasional joints that I will have in the future will give me highs like I had when I first started.

Keep it up, man! I wish you well.

Or it will lead you back into the habit:Þ

Sometimes you just need the right stimulus....

When you take a break from weed, and your bored, your mind reminds you of how great it is to be stoned, then when you smoke that occasional joint, your mind says "tricked you" lol
