I have a 30 year marijuana habit. Should I give it up?
Question:
I only take 10 or 12 hits of some quality bud, off a bong usually, almost every day. It's not like I have a oz. a day habit.
Am I being too hard on myself. Should I enjoy my pot and shut up. Do I need rehab?
Answers:
drop the coffee

No, you don't have any brain cells left to hurt. Smoke it up.
keep smoking
you should quit. by now, you have lost at least 15% of your short term memory.
No need to stop now.
hell no
Well, you're still alive. I say light up and pass it to the left. :o)
People will argue that you need rehab but I personally think it's okay.
Surprise you can still breath, health sake!
Yes I think you do. Get some help.
wow..nice question. Are you asking this seriously, because if you are then you need to check into Rehab ASAP.
Hasn't anyone ever told you to stick with what you are good at?
Puff, puff , pass sweetie!
YES! You can do this, friend!
no,if you make a lot of money.yes if u dont
No, I don't think smoking pot is a bad thing unless it is damaging your life. You know it does not have many adverse health affects, the only downsides are it can take over your life if your not careful and who you have to talk to get it.
I think we would have to know what kind of person you are, if you are an aging hippie living in his moms basement, the yes you should quit. But I know plenty of successful forty something year old people who smoke regularly and are very successful.
Finally, I definatlly don't think you need rehab. Rehab is for cocaine and heroine addicts, not for people who take a bong every day. Marijuana is not physically addictive, so you have no need to go to a rehab center. However, if you really want to quit and are unable to you may want to see a therapist, but that should only be in the most extreme cases.
Man i smoke weed,when you think you are losing your mind its time to give up.
You are burning very valuable brain cells. QUIT.
You should enjoy it, unless it brings you sorrow. Don't go to rehab or you will risk a scene similar to when Dave Chappelle goes to NA in Half Baked. I do the same, it has been about ten years for me, and everytime I know I am hurting my lungs. But it can be hard to tolerate everyday people, and television without our friend. I dunno, cut back? Maybe just to weekends, and when you are hanging out with the kids?
no its bad. not as bad as other things i suppose but still bad. its way worse than smoking..muhc less healthy and illegal
you need help i;m a former partaker of and have given it up to succed in my life it will bring nothing to help you and it is a bhuge waste of your hard earned money
No, it isn't healthy and I sure hope you aren't driving while high.
well from everyone I know that tokes up there life hasn't gone anywhere. you also have to look at the legal side of it, dose the possibility of jail time or even just harassment by the cops out way the benefits of smoking up? my sister did pot on rare occasions and she made it threw law school, when I did it, I didn't do anything with my life, crappy jobs that I couldn't hold down, never went to class. glad that was only a year I wasted. have your 30 years been like my one or more like my sisters? it if was like mine, drop that crap.
This is America; do what you want. But eventually you are going to spend mornings hacking up loogies a half an hour a day.
You can't regain what you've already lost but it is never too late to quit. I wouldn't go as far as rehab but you'll need some positive reinforcement. I have seen people that have smoke all their life but still can function perfectly. so I guess the answer is different in individual cases.
When you start getting the quilt and emotional pain, it is time to give it up. You are not enjoying it as much as before. You will start feeling depressed a lot more, and that is very difficult to deal with. Joint AA or the associated groups and try to quit with their help. I appreciate your honesty, and I am sure you are in pain. God bless
yes you should stop
after 3o years, i don't know if you have much else to lose..if it starts making you feel so bad to do it that you want to hurt yourself, i would get help, but until then, smoke it up if it makes you happy
Hell no! If I didnt have kids and work at a school I would partake in the MJ often. I miss it and miss it like a woman misses anything worth missing. Keep on keeping on.
So. enjoy your pot and shut up!
We all need a vice in our life, otherwise whats the point? I smoke Ganj too. If I were you I'd stick to the bong as something like 99% of the carcenogenics (spelling??) is taken out of the smoke, or switch to a vapourisor (again spelling sorry). That way your lungs will get a chance and you can have a smoke when you like without the health risk. I've friends who are well in to their 60's now and they have smoked all their life. They are happt, married with kids, have lots of money and have had very successful careers, so my advice would be to do what makes you happy, don't feel guilty for enjoying yourself, as long as you don't turn into an ounce a day smoker.
OK, some choices you have to make yourself, but 30 years of regular consume have probably left some effects on your brain and although you don't notice, your mental capabilities would probably improve quite a bit if you quit.
That being said, health wise I would worry about the exposure to smoke and the risk of lung cancer, but realistically, after 30 years of smoking (anything) your cancer risk is never going down again (sorry dude, that's how it is). If you experience some direct health effects (shortness of breath, coughing, being sick a lot etc.) those would go away if you quit.
i'd say keep smoking lol its not a bad thing u know, some people it actually helps them cope with a lot of every day things.and if you really did want to quit you would so you really shouldn't feel guilty and i promise you its not a bad thing at all, at least you can still get things done you know? have fun smokin' brotha, i know i will : D
