Can anyone else not smoke marijuana anymore?

If shit like that happens when you are stoned it means you do not need it, you are capable of seeing all you need to without it. I smoked for 10 years. But quit about 3 and a half years ago. I did smoke it once every few months but the gaps became larger. Last time I had a cone was about a month ago. I went to visit my best mate, he smokes like crazy. He asked if I want one, I thought about it and said yes. I told him it had been at least 6 months and as I went to grab the bong he said no.
He grabbed 2 bags, about a half oz in each and said swell. The first one was strong but smelt good, the second nearly knocked me out. He said he was smoking the 2nd and I was about to crunch it. So he gave me the lighter one and I was smashed off my tree. I was freaking out. That really turned me off, I don’t think I will do it any more.
But I do think pot is like MacDonalds, you have it every 6 months or so just to realize why you don’t like it.

My story is pretty much the same as Manimal’s. I used to smoke very often. In the beginning I would have incredible time distortions, visions, ideas, and even a couple of out-of-body experiences. Nowadays it just makes my mind extremely hazy, annoys me, and guarantees the rest of the day will be an extremely lethargic one.
I got what I could out of it. It’s just a waste of time

My first time smoking pot was leaf. My best mates mums best mates boyfriend (Adam) got it off his mum for his b’day. Now my best mates dad (Rod) smokes but I was shit scared of asking him if I could have one, I didn’t even want him to know. But I had a couple of leafies and we went to my best house. Rod was there and I started shitting myself but Adam told me to relax. We all started playing golf on the Super nintendo. I hit this ball plumb, it hit the flag and I said “Awww, I hit a tree” Rod looked at me and said “You’re stoned aren’t you”
But the first time I smoked bud I didn’t feel it until I had a drag of a cigerette, then booom!! My friend was eating parsley out of the garden, that’s about all I remember.

Fernando you the last line in your post:

As long as you can control it, its amazing. If it takes over you, its shit. that’s what I believe. Every excess is unhealthy isn’t it?

That is absolute truth.

But that also goes well with everything. Moderation is the key to life!

“It fucked me up needless to say, I felt very alone, I felt the exact same emotions as you felt, everyone you know and everyone in the world is literally just you, so you are the only one. it’s a terrible feeling but the only thing that helped was quitting the pot.”

I can relate to this. I only smoked weed 4 or 5 times in my life but every time it really messed with my head. The loneliness/futility experienced was excruciating. Apparently, being EVERYTHING is not that cool :D Last time in Amsterdam, the experience was that I was that exact moment, timeless, spaceless. All reality was a postcard and I was that postcard.

There is no fixed reference point anywhere to be found and all is relative and subjective. What now? :)

@Dom. Sounds like a bad case of ego idealism conflicting with the superego. Anyway, my bullshit aside, I’m in my teens and I am definitely a 1 hit quitter now. I had my first couple of puffs in seventh grade and it was really nice then. It was a very breezy external isolation. But now it’s just a bunch of shitty thoughts hittin my mind and making it weaker. First off they’re all mumbojhmbo and there all very hard to relate to. They seem to hold so much truth when I’m high but as Martijn said when you focus on one thing that’s bad, it effects the rest that you see. Mainly though, I just felt like it was weakening my minds understanding ability to make sense of things, so Martijns right, I’d put my mind on a leash.
Secondly, I don’t know if it’s from smoking or what, but last time I smoked I felt such overbearing stress about reality and it seriously split up two parts of my mind to the extent where it was just weird feelings. Id really like to understand this stuff more if I can on how the mind gives you similar feelings in your head as your body does to the physical world? It’s gotten really annoying, like my head feels like a shitty sloth of shit, there’s always like little bitchy feelings going off in my forehead but I’ve gotten better at reuniting my head so I can get down to some legitimate thinking again. I guess I have learned how powerful thoughts are though. When thoughts are harnessed and acknowledged as thoughts that you experience in the moment you are able to work with them more in ways that you like.

Holy shit bro, intense stuff. I have had my fair share of panic attacks when high off of weed but nothing prophetic or what ever like you’ve had. I have had experiences of some kind of deja vu where I remember dreaming an exact situation that I and others are playing out.

I’d say it is just your mind playing tricks on you bro. The feeling of the external is simply a part in the brain where it anticipates things, where fear is located. It is there so that we are prepared for anything in the wild, however, I think it is starting to fade due to being so safe all the time and not having to worry about tigers attacking us.

@Manimal/others, I too have heard marijuana could make you schizophrenic, but I would say it simply can bring it out if you were already going to get it. There is no conclusive evidence for this so please do not talk yourself into this. Telling yourself smoking weed could cause you to become schizophrenic could be bad. The mind is powerful, good thoughts AND bad ones.

@theskafish, Shrooms are defintely 10x better and more eye-opening than marijuana, but I still enjoy a good toke here and there. I see it as a life enhancer now. Note, ever since taking mushrooms I have had far less panic attacks while high off marijuana and in general.

I used to smoke everyday, all day for the last five years haha. But now I will only smoke if I have no worries on my mind otherwise I will start to ruminate on those problems and it will cause me some anxiety. It’s definitely a good reality check it you have a clear mind though, thinking different perspectives and all. Recently I’ve been drinking and smoking cigs alot though, hopefully I’ll quit the latter again soon.
