A couple months ago, I decided I didn't want to smoke pot anymore. I realised that it consumed too much of my life and my life consumed too much of it. Pot is a wonderful gift mother nature gave us, it's a fantastic medecin. Drugs in general are a wonderful tool we have for opening up our consiousness as well as a social lubricant, I regard them as being sacred, some more than others. I felt I needed to leave canabis for a while in order to grow up.
Since I was 13, I have been a habitual user of canabis. For long periods of time I smoked it every day, several times a day. At school, at home and with friends. I had no friends that didn't smoke pot and I hung out with some people that I didn't really like just so I could get high. Dave Chappelle said it best when he said he found himself hanging out with Klan members so he could smoke some weed. I don't think I startyed for the wrong reasons, I just wanted to know what it was like to have a different brain. I wasa smart kid, i'd say but those who I were hanging out with probably didn't smoke it for the same reasons so I got caught up in making as far away from sobriety as possible.
I felt like I needed weed to keep myself sane. I don't know why, I guess I just wasn't comfortable with my crazy brain. I like my brain now and I don't feel like escaping it, I need to use it for its full capacity. I hope it's not too late.
Weed itself doesn't make you stupid and unmotivated, you do that to yourself by giving in and wanting nothing but getting high. Thankfully, I have more interests in life. To those out there who have nothing but marijuana and would like an alternative, the key is get a hobbie! You just need to focus and apply yourself to something more constructive.
I'm not tottaly sure I quit weed for ever. I would like weed to become a sacred ritual, this is how i feel about mushrooms and salvia, which I would never take advantage of because I feel they are powerful tools with alot to teach me. The weed has taught me some things, allowed me to think about things in a different way, like getting a second opinion from yourself. I think i have smoked enough weed to be able to do that by myself now so I don't need it.
I do miss the social aspects of weed. How it brought good friends together, I wish I were comfortable with smoking weed so I could smoke a joint with Emily. As much as I know that would be a great experience, I still need to live weedless for a bit because I still feel like i'm under the weed spell. But don't worry Emily, well get high together one day even though I feel kinda stupid about it right now. So many people out there smoking weed for the wrong reasons wondering why it isn't legal.
It's because nobody wants a whole world of lazy wastes of skin like you!
I hope this answers your question. I don't really have a one line answer for this. Bascially, I want to see what life is like without it and I want to make it a sacred ritual to share with friends.
