Great reasons to quit marijuana (Add any you can think of)

[R3XXY]

I thought this might make a good sticky, if BFB would be so kind as to oblige.

Add your own thoughts, lets see how many we can get.

I'll Start:

Increased lung capacity
Decreased risk of lung cancer
Mental Clarity
Better social life
Increased motivation
Self respect
Money saved
More energy
Whiter teeth


Your turn..........

[R3XXY]

I'll add a few more to get the ball rolling :

More colour in your skin
More confidence
Tidier house / flat / room
More restful and regualr sleep


Come on guys don't make me do all the work !

[Nakisai]

Some of that work is mine!!!

-Increased motivation
-Tendencies to me more honest
-You have a more open life
-You don't have to do that unattractive five minute gagging in the morning
-You spend your time doing more worth while things besides just sit around and get high
-Instead of saying you'll do stuff, you will acutely do them when you quite
-How much pot you smoke, own, sell or buy will not become the center of your pride anymore
-You will have friends who befriend you for who you are, not how much weed you supply
-You will find yourself a soul mate and keep them
-In crease happiness and peace that comes from with in

Add more peanuts, I can't write all of them down

[BFB]

No problem R3XXY I have made it sticky.

How about:

- Not coughing up shit all the time.
- Improved memory and cognitive abilities.
- Less paranoia.
- Better mental health.
- Been able to dream again.
- Not having to worry about when you are going to have your next hit. Not having to rush off to take it.
- Not having to worry about picking up. Not having to panic when it goes dry.
- Not having to wait around while picking up. Not having to mix with drug pushers.
- Not living in fear of the law.
- Been able to drive without been under the influence.
- Not been viewed as a druggy.
- Not having to live a secret life.
- Been able to travel more easily.
- Been in control of your life again.

I could go on. Great thread R3XXY thanks for starting it.

Take care and all the best people.

I would just say; "being yourself again"

[Tonka]

Real happiness,
Stonger willpower..
Being sure about stuff (i.e. Remembering what you said and why).
Order
Being able to look people straight in the eye (nothing to hide)
No munchies.. thinner body healthier eating habits
Waking up early and rested
Caring for your personal apearance
No burnt cloths or sofas, cause of the lighted debree of pot
Increased productivity
faster metal capacities

I could keep going but gotta work.... oh yeah being able to stay focused lol!

[BoZZHoGG]

bottom line..No apathy!

[break3bendysgrc]

- you'll rediscover yourself instead of being numb and high all the time
- you'll let emotions and other things surface so you can work through them and like life again
- you'll be able to attract worth while life partners and friends that won't drag you down by also being stoners, which makes you not want to stop

- you'll get you damn memory back and not forget things even when you're not high

- you won't feel so robotic

i am working my way up to quitting. here is the list I envision without having quit yet...

money - almost 400 dollars a month
kids might respect me more
read books again
make it out of the house occasionally
perhaps I'll be able to get a job!
no more coughing
no more peeing my pants when I cough (seeing as we're being honest here)
better memory
able to see if my memory is bad because of dope or because of some cognitive impairment
ditto for speech, I slur because of all the dope, but maybe I slur because I have MS but I just think it's the dope!
much better example for my now teenage children
perhaps my husband will think I'm a good example and quit drinking!
maybe I'll meet some people

I got so used to holding it in, I would often forget to breathe during the day (not for very long, but still). Looking forward to better lung capacity and normal breathing.

Better social life
More time for EVERYTHING else
Not being tempted to have a hit before work and then be paranoid someone will know!
Not wanting to leave family or other in order to get high
Not worrying that my roommates will be bothered by it
Remembering stuff!
Feeling in control of mylife
Doing other, better things with that money
Actually experiencing my feelings
Increased motivation and sex drive
Not spacing out while driving
Reduced irritability (while habitually on pot, I would sometimes surprise myself by flying off the handle)
Not messing up your hormones
Not having to seek out friends/lovers who are into pot
Being present for myself and others
Not having this weird barren look in my eyes
