I think its time to hang up the hat

Ever since I was about 14, I've pretty much made weed #1 in my life. Most people would say I'm obsessed.
Well I think I've smoked enough to last me through my next few reincarnations. I've been sober for about ten hours now, and am feeling like it's time for a drastic change in my life.
I guess I'm just tired of being high. Weed has always been my go to whenever I'm bored, which has become all the time. Now i feel it's safe to say, weed is making me lazy as shit, 0 energy or ambition, and it's seriously doing more harm than good.
actually I think things started getting out of hand when I took up dabbing. I probably haven't smoked any weed in about six months. I've just been doing nothing but dabs. Morning dabs kick my ass so bad to where I can't even talk to anyone, I'm so fried I guess.
I stopped talking to alot of my family years ago because I find it easier to not talk to them, rather than lie to them what I've been up to. Is that weird?
So ultimately, I've chosen weed over family and friends, and I feel like it's time for me to crawl out from under that indica leaf and see what's going on in the world.
I'll probably continue to grow until the day I die, but yeah, I think it's time to see what life is like sober.

its unfair to say that statement you never know what someones life is like, young, old, middle aged everyone has issues and problems, just because youre young doesnt mean that you havent had a hard life.
Comparing your hardships to another doesnt do any good, and its unfair to say you have had it harder than anyone else, it all affects us differently.

another small issue I have is I can read something and take it 10 different ways. This is why I try to avoid online interactions.
I can't be mad at Ya cause I remember you helping me a few months ago in the problem section. But your comment at first comes off a bit douchey, but after I read it like three times, doesn't seem as bad. Are you saying I need to mature mentally, get my life together, have kids, return to riu, and then die?

Yeah bro. I used to wake and bake. Now i smoke eves and weekends only. No dabbing. Dont wanna eff up my tolerance.

Take some time off and file it as recreational. Get some serious biz going on in your life. Use it like having a few to relax. Not being wasted all the time. Everybody who is serious has a minute like you. Its time to choose. Be a effing pot head 24/7? Or be a serious dude and have a real life who also smokes pot.

Good luck bro.

Dam you are spot on. That sounds exactly where I'm at, and it's been this way awhile. It's nice to know I'm not the only one. I really appreciate that.

So what your gut tells you in this. If it's time to go sober for a bit, that's your choice. More power to you!

The comments about looking for ways to improve your life (positively phrased or not) apply all the time. Having a straight head can help sometimes.... and not others. The very fact that you're open about it and questioning things says a lot about your basic attitude though; if you listen to yourself, you'll be fine.

Damn.. I just wrote a long ass post (lol still long and pointless)then deleted that shit because I was complaining too much and remembered that saying "never tell anybody about your problems, 20% don't care and the other 80% are glad you have them. Very true. But I was going to say that I feel the same as you. Weed definitely screws with my social skills when I'm high. It's one of the reasons my family never really talked to me. It's not weird that you don't talk to your family if they're anything like mine. They found out I smoked weed because I was suspended from school for smoking Weed and was moved to my grandma's house because my parents were mad. My grandma told everybody and since then, they look down on me as a failure. I used to lie to them when I had shitty jobs or was selling weed, but now I have a good job so when I see them ( rare as fuq) I lie and say I have a shitty job at jack in the box and watch them blow me off like when I was a kid. So yea I don't talk to people who act that way, even if they are blood related.
I started young too (15) and since then it's what has kept me going everyday. It's definitely one of my tops priorities, just behind water, breathing, eating, and paying bills. I feel like it should be further on down the list though.

But I agree with other people when they say it's not weed but the underlining issues. Maybe you doubt yourself and that's why you feel you have no motivation. Or maybe you're just different than your family and that's why you guys don't talk. Weed does screw with social skills but I think it's because people think too much about abnormal things when high that we can't talk well with sober strangers and such.

The only times I want to quit weed is when I have alot on my mind and I just want to smoke a blunt. So as I'm smoking a blunt I realize that I'm not taking any positive steps forward solving my issues and blame it on what i was doing at the time, smoking weed. I don't play too many games or watch TV but I'm sure if I was sober I'd probably watch TV and play games like mad then blame netflix and video games for fucking up my life. Weed is just an innocent bystander.


Then again I'm pretty high right now, so this might be a biased post :blsmoke:

It'll get better.. I think, wouldn't hold my breath though lol

Yea my grandma raised me too. She was the only person in this world I could go to for anything. It's hard to think where I'd be today without her.
and it's mainly my aunt when I say family. I love her unconditionally, and it's been drilled into my brain to be an honest person, so much so it's easier to just cut ties rather than lie. She probably thinks I don't like her or am mad or something, I'm just honestly afraid to talk to her when I'm high, like I'm a kid trying not to get caught or something.
I've seen my dad smoke shwag my whole life and hold a job and do normal day to day stuff. He says that weed helps him stay motivated and social, and without it he doesn't feel like doing anything or talking to anyone. I guess I've always thought one day I could be that way, doesn't seem to be the case.
All that being said, it makes sense there could be deeper issues, and maybe I'll have better luck dealing with those issues with a clear head, if I can just sober up..
