Quit smokin pot. I was about your age when I quit. Pot may be as harmless a drug as you can get, but it's still a drug. No matter how much you think you got things under control, by staying high you have reduced the time your body and mind have had to learn to cope with normal external pressures.
Thats just another way of saying "you don't know how to act unless you have some external numbing going on".
Think about it,
I would tend to agree with you MT, but I haven't smoked since about 2 days after the con. Pot was never something that gave me much problems. I can live with it or without it. Sure there were times when I was younger that it was all I lived for, but for the past 10 years I've only used it when I get home at night. Kind of like that one or two beer drinker. If there's a social event or something I don't do it. And about one a year or so I quit for a month or two just to clear up the mind and keep it sharp
But even while using pot I still get the same highs and lows as when I'm not using it, like the past 2 or 3 weeks. Right now I have stopped until I go see the shrink to talk about meds. I plan on asking her how pot will effect what meds they give me and if I have to I'll quit all together. I do want it legal, but I also understand that there are many many more important things in life that marijuana, sorry swoop
. Now don't get me wrong, those first couple of days not having it I can be a big edgy but after that it's not a problem. That's part of the reason I like it so much, it's easy to quit when needed...
Thanks for the concern though, everybody
