Today is a sad day... a sad day indeed. After 5 years of blazing.... almost 3-4 grams a DAY every single day.... I've finally come to the time in my life that I have to call it quits.

It's time to move on in life, and I was offered a job for $30/hour that I absolutely cannot pass up. I sold the last of my BHO and purple kush this morning, smashed the bong and sold the vaporizer.... Never thought I would see this day....

Marijuana has been a big part of my life for a long time, I've rallied for it and educated hundreds of people... I will always keep marijuana in my heart..
It is for the greater good though.... Thanks for all the good times, the growing advice, and the friends / community on roll it up. I will never forget you guys.

I'll be around from time to time, but I will be *sigh* sober.
Day #2 of not blazing, begins..

Wish me luck. :leaf:

Congratulations on the job mate... :)


Edit...

Aren't you the mofo that posted the pic of a large chunk of hash that made me really jealous..?

Most of us "older" people here have been in this type of position before. Take some time off, get settled in the new job and maybe down the road you'll be able to fire up on an occasional basis.

Only 30$ an hour and they want drug tests? Or was there a different reason for actually quitting? For 30$ an hour i can't imagine it being the most demanding of jobs, toke away i say!

Ah the time came to choose. Excellent choice. You can always come back to it. Hell it'll soon be legal and your job won't be able to say shit. Then you get the best of both worlds. Good luck on your future and I hope great success and happiness come your way. Enjoy your new life brother. Being sober after that much bud smoking is going to be an adventure in habit breaking and irritation. Believe lol.

$30 an hour is an insane amount of money, idk what you are talking about... I make $19 bucks right now.... ill fucking gladly take an $11/hr raise to quit smoking.... There is no underlying reason behind my actions.... I just want to make more money, and not feel so lazy all the time... I literally can smoke a half ounce of purple kush a day, and feel NOTHIN....... its fucked... waste of my money too

Meh, i could earn that simply doing databass input for an analysis firm, don't even need a CV to get that kind of job. I got offered that much to work in a call centre for Orange a few years ago, i told them to sod off. I'd personally rather smoke pot and enjoy a peaceful life than strive for more money. but i want to be self sufficient and live in the middle of nowhere, i'm not your average Joe :D

Congrats man. do ur thing. I considered quitting too for the right good paying job (when it comes i will).

If you don't mind me asking what job is it?

I was looking into some gov't jobs (yes...the enemy lol) like police/911 dispatcher. They pay you pretty damn well in my area for a relatively simple job (plus they train you how to do it) and start you out at 4-5K per month! (which is bank might i add considering you dont need a degree for it) but for now i'll keep my options open.

anyway the point is i know id have to quit for that job too...probably 6 months as the ad said they will go back 6 months by their method of testing..i believe its a hair test (dont quote me on that 1)

anyway what im saying is good for you man. if you find something that pays you well then theres no reason not to quit as you can always come back to it down the line.

How hard has quitting been so far? was it hard to fall asleep? I know im gonna have to do it too and im kind of dreading it to be honest. ive smoked 9-10 yrs straight so its gonna be hard. Whats funny is i dont have any intention of actually quitting...just long enough to pass the test (i dont have the guts to try and use fake pee for a gov't job...) then ill pick it up again. Whats gonna be hard is im still gonna be growing while im not smoking.

so the temptation will always be right infront of me but ill just have to remember how awesome it will be if i dont break down and smoke a J now and instead smoke up after the test when ill have accumulated a ton of bud to keep anyone happy lol




idk. im just rambling now.

point im trying to make is im happy for you and you're not alone on this one!

Thanks man I appreciate it. I got hired by the oil company "husky" as an analyst... (well actually its a job prospect since i'm right about to finish my 5th year at school and get my master's degree of sociology).

Yes lastnight was VERY hard to sleep, I can't stop thinking about getting high. I removed all my weed and oil but I cant stop thinking about going outside and grabbing a roach from the ash tray... ( as dirty as that sounds I cant stop thinking about it ).... Anyone who says marijuana isnt mentally addictive is fucking wrong.

i agree. when i use to buy from a dealer (who ran out for awhile) and i had to go to sleep without smoking i thought i was going to die. i tossed and turned for 3 hours that night and it was brutal.


thats why im not looking forward to it. for me its necessary late at night before bed. its like a ritual/habit. i can go all day every day without it but at night i "need" it.

i know many people are gonna be like "nooooo! you fool!" but if i have to ill substitute lite/moderate drinking at night if i have to until i pass the drug test. otherwise i'll be too damn wired to sleep. i have mild insomnia...so yeah..mj takes the edge off and puts me out in 10mins flat on avg.

It's more than mental for me, and I've used tons of drugs.

When my THC levels go down I start sweating, get bad anxiety, depression, irratability, insomnia, can't eat and my digestive system gets fucked up.

It's worth it to me to smoke weed every day. Sorry you have to go through this.
