Discussion Quitting weed

[andrej]

At first it used to feel good and I was just really euphoric and enjoying myself, but now lately it's just been paranoid and weird as shit. Now whenever I smoke even a tiny bit it puts me in an identity crisis like what will happen when I die what if God doesn't exist and uncomfortable shit like that. I don't like that and I also don't like how it dissolutes my ego and my whole identity if you guys get me. The lowering of the ego also makes me feel like I can lose a fight even against a little kid. It's just shit, and I don't think it's the bud's fault because every different one has me like this


Anyone with similar experiences?

I smoked weed every day for about 7 years.

It did get to that same point for me too, where it makes you face the intensity of your own mortality, your own self-hatred, your own future. It feels fucking awful, like your entire psyche is crushing down on you. But I was addicted to it, so I kept smoking it anyway even though it made me feel like shit.

The point is, if it's gotten to the point where it's causing you to feel that way, you either need to take a break or quit it entirely.

Weed is good for some people, bad for others. Just the way it is.

It's no different than a psychedelic. You need to be in a setting and timing where you are naturally satisfied and happy to have a good time. I'm just better to leave that shit, it's not good for me at the moment but if I ever figure myself out I might smoke one again

I'd try limiting yourself to once or twice a week first. Plan a day or two to use it and then the other days are effective tolerance breaks.

I've had to quite temporarily before, looking for a new job and all, it wasn't too bad but I have to admit some evening and weekends were unbearable without it. Fucking hobbies don't work on my chud braine.

i've smoked weed for the better part of the last decade or more now. i don't get any bad affects but it definetly isn't the same it use to be. if you've been smoking a long time you'll either want to just quit cold or taper off. you'll feel quite shit the first week and probably sleep horrible too.

if you want to quit i'd taper off if you've smoked a long time if not just brute through the first week its like having a flu

I've taken psychs before.

The difference with weed, in my opinion, is you can take it every day. Whereas drugs like LSD and Shrooms cannot be taken every day because the amount needed to get the same effect doubles each day. So it very quickly becomes prohibitively expensive. One tab of LSD on day one will require 16 tabs on the fifth day for the same effect, for example.

Good for taking a break from it though bro. If you've not taken a break before, you may find sleeping difficult but once you push through the first few days it'll be fine.
