Why did you quit smoking pot?

Question

Why did you quit smoking pot? What events made you reach this decision? What changed? Anything improve? How long did it take to see/feel a difference?

Answer 1

I never really enjoyed the high.  A couple hits on a joint or bong, and I was a drooling imbecile for hours.

I imagine it's what being a Liberal is like.

Beer, on the other hand, I can drink for hours with very little incapacitation.  I get drunk, sure, but I'm still able to talk, walk, and think.

Answer 2

vision got ****** up

one day i got stoned and started tripping, i felt high till the next day, and everytime i got high after that i would trip out again and be stoned for the whole day

now i have mild but permanent hallucinations (just lights floating around, usually unnoticable, corner of the eye kind of stuff) and static, also have really bad night vision

i know it sounds weird and impossible, but i think its called hppd (hallucinogenic permanent perception disorder), its very rare and its usually from harder drugs like shrooms or e

i still smoke ocasionally, but i've tried to cut down

Answer 3

Why do you assume we did?

Answer 4

As I got into my twenties, I just found less time to enjoy a smoke.  My schedule got so filled that I no longer had time.

Answer 5

I quit back in February 2008.  I was a daily smoker for over 10 years.  I knew a lot of problems I was going through had to do with it.  I was addicted big time!  Some people can do it whenever and control it, I couldn't.  I honestly have nothing against it and don't judge people who do it, I just knew I had to stop.  I do miss it here and there but know I'm better off without it.  The only thing I've really noticed is that I think a lot clearer, I'm not high all the time anymore in a fog.  The first few weeks after I quit sucked.  I couldn't sleep, eating habits got all out of whack and had some pretty bad headaches.  I've overcome everything and know I made the right decision.
