Very true, that's the feeling we get, but I tell you, if you dump weed, You will realize that you really don't need the plant to have an IQ, Trust me, I wouldn't lie to you. We humans are not ordinary, and of course, we are not created to be dependent on any substance, everything we need is complete and in-built. I eat fruits and vegetables as hobby now, I tell you my friend, You don't want to compare who I was with weed compared to who I am now. You really don't.
Thanks for sharing I just would try fruits

It's cool that you were able to overcome your addiction to marijuana, I have a similar problem, but I can't get rid of it. I have a wild addiction to smoking (and I don't smoke marijuana). I've probably given up Smoking 100 times. At first, the first two days are fine, but then I start to eat a lot (very much to eat) and my hands start to shake, my record was a week. Here on the advice of doctors I started to add different oils in food to calm the nervous system , I haven't smoked for five days now and I don't even want to pick up a cigarette.

was useful to read, tnx for your experience! The real reason I tried CBD was for some crazy joint pain in my fingers that recently started. CBD was like a miracle and completely eradicated the pain and kept the joints moving and feeling totally normal. I still use it from time to time, it does make me feel somewhat happier than usual. I order it here https://anotherbox.us/ from California, these oils do not contain chemicals and have affordable price.

OP abeg na poor man they complain of weed smoking , it's cuz u were at a point where u could no longer afford it , especially when u needed it the most
And it makes u eat more and more , and u end up starving
That's when your brain reset say weed bad No be only spiritual vibes na buhari vibes undecided

I don't know how life would've been without cannabis
I still wonder how people carry on with life without cannabis
Weed gives you ginger when you take it responsibly not too much

When I wan bomb sites and I they with my weed (Arizona) and my magic moment and monster energy, na fire down till Dawn

Never a dull moment , I weed responsibly
E no good for you no mean say E no good for another person and from ur write up sef I don already know say you no be true smoker

Anybody wey him friends ginger to smoke no be real smoker
I started with a carton paper at age 8
I upgraded to smoking white note books coded
I moved to my first ever cigarette (st.morris)
I switched to (YES) cigarette
Moved to (white London) cigarette

Smoked white London for more than 6yrs

I upgraded to weed (Igbo)
I moved to Arizona (pawpaw)

I've never smoked anything more than Arizona and I won't cuz I smoke responsibly

And o eat good food too, I eat vegetables and fruits like no tomorrow, man wey they hustle must they chop well naw

OP the bottomline is that truly smoking isn't good for our health , but you're wrong when you generalize the fact that all smokers don't think smart lol

I don't take all those trams and others but you see that Arizona , even my wife knows I smoke and her family sef knows including mine

Here's how to know a real and responsible smoker

A real smoker doesn't even know how to roll a joint but he smokes more than those who roll it

A real smoker don't enjoy smoking with people but alone with his headphones

A real smoker loves Raggea songs and Old scho rap like 2pac and others

A real smoker knows when to say NO I'm okay for today

A real smoker don't value alcohol but prefer even ordinary water of soft drink when the throat is dry

Weed is life , just don't smoke too much
It's also harmful to our health no doubt and there's nothing spiritual about weed , everything you see when you get high is called medication

Mind you, I'm not broke by God's grace , me and my family are okay
My wife is a nurse and I'm a clinical psychologist
In case you don't know , hope you know weed is prescribed as a medication for some patients in sane countries ?


Lights up my kpoli in peace

Please can I get your number I need you to help me encourage a smoker to quit
ArisingStorm:
Firstly, if you are a smoker, an advice : start eating as much fruits as you can till you overcome the addiction. Smoking is a fast way of killing the body cells, infact, very fast. All these post of smokers are liable to die young ain't a joke. Eat fruits and drink water adequately(I trust smokers, them no go believe grin ) .

I started smoking marijuana when I was in my Final year back in school (if I had started earlier, for me o, I don't think I can graduate). In the beginning, it was all fun, the journey was blissful, no problems, just a young man enjoying his life on a lowkey. I was introduced by my friends of course, they introduced me like joke like joke. Then I started smoking continuously like joke like joke. The feeling was good, like really good. I don't do all this Tramadol, Refnol and all other drugs (they are actually all the same thing). I always tell them (friends) it's chemical that weed is natural (God made it). I don't really like alcohol too (I always say they are damaging their liver). I can defend weed with my life. I will bring out health tips and benefits of weed. I was a brand ambassador of weed.

Mind you, if you see me, You wouldn't know I smoke marijuana, that's a trait of weed smokers (don't be deceived thinking all weed smokers have a thick voice or always look like thugs on the street). Very secretive because we know people will judge us and say stuffs like "haa your life don spoil, haa your life don finish (tho this is not true, The life is actually finishing gradually on a slope).

I smoked all through final year, I smoked even before going for final defense. Weed was like a best friend (didn't know it has turned to idol, that's always the end point). There are two types of weed smokers:

-the loners (they mostly like smoking alone),
-the group smokers (they mostly like smoking with friends).

I was mostly a loner. After graduating, when at home, weed was starting to be of less effect on me, the thing does not do me anything again, so I climb the ladder. I started with SK, a higher level. At this point, been an educated smoker that cares about his health, I started getting worried because I personally knew I was damaging my lungs (all smokers knows this but choose to ignore).

I decided to buy a vape pen (its a device for smoking with less smoke). The original was 45k, the chinese brand was 15k. I bought chinese. I used it for a while. Then I realize this vape pen can blow anytime and I will just die. I just went back to my smoking of blunt (the normal paper weed = roasting of lungs). At this stage, I forget things easily, my decision making was poor, my financial management extremely poor, I started becoming an I don't care kinda person, I started getting dehydrated easily, my body system started changing because of the smoke, my productivity was getting low. It affected my finances, I am always broke, it affected my relationship, it affected my whole life.

Weed smokers always have supporting strikers (this are bad habits that the weed gives inspiration/ginger/vibes to do). It can be sex, masturbation (Pornography), gambling, playing games, wasting time doing nothing (scrolling social media/internet) etc. I was a gambler and self service personnel. Things wasn't going well, mind you, You won't be able to tell anybody, You will just hide it to yourself. Depression gang arrived (drugs always lead to depression in the end).

NOTE : The moment I started thinking of quitting weed smoking, that is when it was as if world war 7 just started in my life. If you are a smoker reading this, and you are still enjoying it, You won't have any problem, but the moment you start trying to quit, chaiii, its when the battle just start, just go and wear armor.

The struggling started, I will stop for three days, am back, I will stop for 1wk, I am back, there was this time I stopped for Six good months. I started praying then and getting serious with my spiritual life. I was already like, finally, I don escape. I don't know shaa, I find myself dere again, this time, it was crazy. I smoked SK till I started not feeling anything again. I then climbed the ladder to "loud". At this stage, I wasn't happy with my life personally, but I can't stop. I didn't give up, I wouldn't lie to you, I received grace from above to be able to overcome, sincerely. All praises to My Maker. Now, if you like, put weed in my front, I will just be looking at you.

Conclusion: Trust me, You gonna lose opportunities taking drugs because you would be too high to see opportunities. Mindset is all that matters. You will need to distance yourself from those friends. Weed will always make you feel like the world is crumbling and that you should not stress yourself and just smoke. It will make you take stupid risks. It will change your attitude. If you want, You can be religious and also an hypocrite but the truth is Don't decieve yourself, any addiction you have, face it, be fearless, and don't give up, You will overcome!!!. I will gladly answer any questions. Many are feeling the vibes of weed now, sincerely, they don't know that it is an institution. Parents check your kids because they will never tell you. I told my mum when I overcame by grace, she was just crying, I was just looking at her like, why is this woman crying.

Any Addiction you have on earth, Don't give up, You are not a Slave. Be Fearless!

Please know this as well, all those inspirations, thoughts, vibes that comes when high is from Demons/unclean spirit(I am 100% sure). If you want me to go Spiritual, I will gladly explain, just quote me.

Thank you. APTTMH.

I used to smoke weed in college, and after graduation, I’ve got my dream job. I sent HR an impressive resume, and most likely, it was good because I made it when I was stoned. Well… once my boss caught me smocking weed on the rooftop of our building. He made it clear to me that either I quit smoking weed or I have to quit my job. I didn’t want to lose my job and searched for different methods on how to give up smoking. It wasn’t that easy as I thought, but I found one guide to quitting weed. I haven’t smoked any single joint for almost a year now.

You have a nice boss. Once my eyes were red because of the sleepless night in front of my laptop. I was finishing one report. My boss accused in me in smoking weed and fired me

Thank you ArisingStorm: for this topic, I'm currently battling this issue. if you check some of my previous threads
I started very early, the first year in school, it's b been 8 years now I managed to get a career in IT , and I'm currently chasing bigger opportunities, and have vowed to stop if I get it.
But damn the pull is too strong!
My whole creative and thought process is interwoven into it.
I sleep better when I smoke,
I read better when I'm high,
All my interviews, I attended high.
I even code better when I'm high.
Music is not the same without weed,
Worst is food, I can't eat without smoking first .
Psychologically the food won't be sweet.

No I am not quitting because I think It is bad for my health, I need to know how some life feels again.
This whole hazy shit ain't it !

Yes, I have enjoyed the herb, But now It's time to quit
I have realized, I can't stop it on my own and have totally submitted to the higher power, I keep praying everyday, knowing this will be a thing of the past AMen
How is it going bro? hope you are not back to MJ? is it worth it? This is my 2nd day clean but tbh the pull is massive.

You will be pulled, It is normal. There are times , the pull will come like an army, and you will just find yourself moving like a zombie to smoke.
The real battle is in the mind. The moment you decided to stop, You just declared war. And you will see serious war. You will be severly beaten. I stopped for some months, Then fell back at that time. That was when my upgrade was quick. I suffered bro, I wouldnt lie to you.
You need to be ready to suffer, to make sacrifices, to go through pain..... if not, One cant stop. No miracle.

let me tell you things that will make you realize I have been there and Overcame.
Firstly, Where I am now and What I am now, If i had not stop smoking, I can never be where I am now. I would probably be a useless riff raff using every money He has to maintain the state of Highness.(What I am trying to say is that A recovered sensible marijuana addict is a serious potential). It takes the Grace of God

2ndly, When we smoke marijuana, We get high. Those are just words of Men. This is the Truth. When we smoke marijuana and its likes(anything that causes so called highness), We open portals/doorway/entry point for Unclean spirit, They call them demons, Evil spirits and so on. They are all around us. Once smoking , They come into our body/mind and take charge, We become their slaves, they use us at those moment, Then they give those inspirations and good feelings which is temporary. However, The body is dying due to smoke, and the brain cells is deteriorating continuously. The problem is that demons have one purpose for we humans, kill/destroy. We constantly always compare ourselves to others that are using Highness to get fame, to make money and so on. But the problem is We are different , each one of us(look at ur fingerprint, we are individually unique). Some have agreements with this wicked spirits and so on.

3rdly, Love Fruits and Vegetables. They are medicines. Real and Natural Medicines. They will help the body.

4. The demons don't just leave, no, it would be hard to get another person(vessel), so to trutfully totally send them packing, You need to be a burning fire that is uncomfortable for them. The road leads back to God. No lies.

5. There is alot of scam in this world. People will always decieve each other. But know this One Truth, God dey, and Him no hard to find as people dey make am. I no fit lie you.

I'm glad you overcame your addiction to weed, but I'm afraid I have to disagree with the majority opinion on this forum. Smoking weed is not as bad as you think. Many people use it to beat many diseases or disorders. For example, I had problems with anxiety, and only products containing cannabis could help me cope. I'm not saying you should change your mind. Just understand that such products help a lot of people. The main thing is to buy such products only from proven manufacturers and those who monitor their products' quality. Otherwise, there is a high probability of buying a low-quality product.
