you were on your way to becoming a stoner. then you decided not to. cool for you, bro. that said, there's nothing wrong w/ being a stoner. american life is awful. being stoned all the time is a fine response for many. i've long thought of weed as being halfway between an anti-depressant and a beer. yeah, i don't mind starting my day with that at all. and i'll have 2 at lunch, thanks.....

I treat it as an herb. Just a little bit helps with anxiety and stress.

Your doctor was right, cut out the bread.

I started at 27 just once or twice every few months at parties or gatherings. I started abusing it in my early 30s and then finally gave it up last summer. My justification was that I needed it to deal with my PTSD and constant anxiety attacks, as every time I stopped use for a week I would become so edgy and explosive that I felt like the only thing that could calm me down, besides exercise and sex, was the herb.

I finally gave it up for the last 7 months and now I find myself far less prone to extreme bouts of emotion. The first few months were really hard to do without, even though I always told myself that I could quit whenever I wanted. But, oddly enough, after being forced to deal with my shit and getting into a position where I simply had no access to the drug, I find myself back on my own equilibrium and feeling much more like I used to when I first tried it.

I hope one day I can enjoy weed again responsibly and casually, but I feel like the temptation will always be there to delve deeper into the morass, as the creative and artistic side of myself seems amplified under the influence. But, for now, I'm learning to develop those aspects of myself without the aid of performance enhances. I don't disparage anyone who uses, of course, but I think there's definite benefits from just going cold turkey and letting it be for a while to remember who you are without it.

"When asked if I needed a rest stop break, I responded negatively by saying, 'Oh ho, that’s a hobo no-go on the bonobo showboat.'"

Just a reminder that people who smoke weed late are among the most annoying.
