Gain Nothing By Smoking Pot

It took me a LONG time and a lot of wasted money to realize that. Because when that high wears off after a couple of hours your problems still remain to be solved instead of numbed. Thus all you're doing is number 1, Wasting your money. Number 2, Disapointing the ones that really do care about you.

Weed really does have a way of making you think that nothing is wrong. But after the haze has cleared and you're back to facing life head on you'll realize how stupid and pointless smoking pot really is. It's a delay/numbing agent.

There is nothing to gain, Everything to lose.
Chris, thanks for posting. Reading this today helped me. I am really wanting to run out to the garage and "escape". I had one of those dreams that represented "frustration" and woke up really angry.....which seems to be an emotion that triggers my cravings lately.....to numb up, numb up, numb up.

In essance it's really....dumb down, dumb down,dumb down.
me too! got a serious jones going today. i spent yesterday with my feeble mother and then was up till 2am with my husband who was trying to talk me down from the experience. all i keep thinking if of weed and being warm and fuzzy. but i don't want to blow this clean time. so i come here and am so glad i'm part of a group who feels the same crapola.
i'm better now. thanks.

i was the same way today!!! must be the barometric pull
i was taking the kids to a 9 year old birthday party that i had to visit with others for about 2 hours. there were kids everywhere.
anyway on the way over i started "jonesing". and it came to me i wanted something to look forward to when i got home. used to i would have done the party knowing i can get high when i get back. of course at the party be going nuts to get the hell out of there so i could get high. lol.
so realizing i need things to look forward to was my epiphany for today.
unfortunately not a lot of time to find something to replace it, but the daughter and i watched bewitched and ate cookie dough.
I pulled out your deficit list. :-) Recognized the the self-pity and sloth in me. :-) Instead of going back to bed to pout, I cleaned/organized out my kitchen cupboard, potted some houseplants (recognized I no longer have a rubber tree plant) and I feel ten times better.....gotta love empowerment.

I had that plant for 15 years....it went to it's final resting place 3 years ago.....I'm thinking I'll by a new one....in honour of my new found budless buddies online.

With gratitude,

just got one for a house warming, it is looking kinda sad

i love the deficit list, it helps me often
%If you two are gonna start a "how to care for rubber tree plants discussion", please stare a separate thread.%

For reference, in the future I will enclose my sarcasm in %'s
excellent again
