    Default 4:20 at 6:00am

    i've been lurking for a few weeks but now that i'm posting i'm just gonna get into the nittygritty.

    anyone else smoke a chronic amount of chronic? Chronically?

    i've been smoking since i was 14, and basically daily since i was 17. Ever since i started dancing at 18 i've found that i absolutely need it after work to wind down. I used to work at a ghetto club where the DJ and some of the girls used to puff in the back constantly but since then i've never smoked at work. makes time go by too slow But when i get home, i'm automatically reaching for the bong. My mom told me when she was about the same age she quit smoking because she depended on it to sleep and it worried her. it doesn't worry me. maybe it does. but it's become such a natural part of my life now and there's no real adverse effects that i can see. except for maybe developing a really high tolerance

    even so, any smokers have any advice about quitting or controlling or substituting?

    or is it really okay to indulge my hazy hedonism

    I'd advise you to wean off of it. All the chronic smokers I know get pudged out, apathetic, and there are long-term hormonal effects.
    I think pot is a beneficial drug, but for a healthy person to use it everyday, it can become detrimental to your health.
    There are worse drugs to become addicted to but pot can make you blind to things in everyday life that others heed.......

    I like to smoke too, everyday, the only reason why i would want to stop is because i fear running out of contacts to get it from.

    I used to smoke a lot, but I'm just not into it anymore. I kind of phased it out of my life bc it wasn't making me feel good anymore, I just felt like a lazy piece of crap all the time, and it gave me the worst cough. Honestly I feel a million times better, and I can focus great at school. I didn't realize why and then I figured out that this w as the first time I wasn't on drugs in a few years of school. It rules. If you want to quit, you can do it, really easily. If not then take a big hit for me.

    I don't smoke pot. I never really liked it. I'm already hungry and sleepy enough.

    Well, many of the girls at my work tend to follow this trend. Not many other drugs or anything that I've noticed, but the ladies like to light up in the dressing room. I have no problem with pot, but I only rarely smoke it because I'm so sensitive. However, when they're doing nonstop shotguns all around me while I'm getting changed, I obviously inhale some amount- last night driving home I could hardly stay awake and I think it was the effect of a hotboxed changeroom. Like anything else, if you need it on a daily basis, you're losing your freedom of self to a substance demand.

    I'm surprised your club allows blatant drug use in the dressing room, but I know things are more out in the open in Canada too.

    I smoke all the time....

    (that's one of the reasons I resist going into another line of work. )

    I don't see anything wrong with doing it.

    I smoked everyday for a couple of years. Eventually I just got bored of being stoned and retarded.

    I used to for a whole summer and a few months with a shotty bf.....I started to have to pay for it. After that I lost interest if it wasnt free.

    If its free for you and you want to know how to get over it....its weed I really dont think its that addictive is it?
    My question is: do you work as hard when youre influenced as when youre are not? If it doesnt effect you in any way then I dont see it being a huge problem.

    Right there with you, though I did smoke some in high school.

    My sister smokes a lot. I don't think she's ever tried to quit, but I do have plenty of friends who have gone cold turkey. Like anything (drugs, booze, a relationship), if you're concerned about it, you probably have a problem.

    Too each it's own but I say if you have to be drunk or high to dance then you shouldn't be doing it. It's okay to have fun once in a while but any habit that has a negative affect on your life isn't a good one. Marijuanna shouldn't be hard to quit. It is not physically additive although it can be mentally additive. Also marijuana can have an effect on your memory if you use too much.

    Alcohol is a different story though. I use to work in a hospital and watching people go through DT's wasn't any joke.

    I tried smoking at work once years ago and got so paranoid I couldn't go on stage. My friends covered for me by telling the manager I had really bad cramps.

    I'll smoke once in a while, maybe once or twice a month. Pot does have benefits, IMO, but if anyone is drinking, taking Xanax, coke or whatever daily, you might start to think you can't function without it. Pot has been proven to have a psychologically addictive element to it.

    Wean off it. You probably don't need to quit totally, but try to a full day without smoking and see how you feel. Then do it again, and again, and again...

    Honestly, I love dancing high! BUT, I only smoke once in a great while. I'd do it more often, but it makes my hands and feet all sweaty. Not good for stage dancing! I think tonight was the first time I smoked in a month! But like previously stated, all things in moderation; anything in excess can be bad!

    Sure it's illegal, but you'd never know. They can't even arrest someone holding less than thirty grams...some case in appeal at the moment in Ontario. Ehh. But yeah, in the changeroom, it sucks. We're not even allowed to smoke indoors in Ottawa now (anywhere, it's all 'smoke free'), which is why I chose this club over the better business on the Quebec side. Imagine my surprise to get in the changeroom on the first night and it's one big smokefest. They have a vent, and it's allowed there so the girls aren't outside in their underwear or something (in the winter, that would not be possible, haha). The only time they ever put out the joints is when the cops come in. A little alarm goes off in the dressing room. And as for management allowing it, well, the waitresses and djs join in too, so it's not really disallowed. It's not even considered a drug anymore up here.

    ^^^You could smoke a joint in front of a cop, and not get arrested. They can find marijuana on you, and give you a 'warning', but until they reverse the appeals case now in court, no arrests for less than THIRTY grams. This in Ontario, but really...it's an effectively decriminalized substance in Canada, if not officially so. The cops are more interested in checking us on our 'no contact' lapdances...mra! Ottawa is a bylaw quagmire. No one knows what the hell is legal or not. I don't even think the cops know...everything is 'in appeals'.

    I think that if you HAVE TO smoke when you get home then you have already realized it's a problem for you. I was a constant stomer for 6 years and it took my a while to quit feeling like I needed it to calm down (3 weeks of massive bitchiness). Once I got over the month mark I was able to smoke again without feeling like I HAD TO HAVE IT.

    I took up walking after work to get myself to calm down. I would get home and take my dogs for a walk. Usually I would have a friend come with me, it kind of got to be a ritual after work for me and a few other girls to go to someone's house and instead of partying we went for a walk and BS'd about our evening. It helped.

    Now I smoke again but not like I used to. I only treat myself now, not smoke daily.

    My cluballows it out in the open too. But I rearely smoke at work because it makes me horny and I wouldn't want to be horny at work. Some people have tried weaning off it by smoking cigarettes, in my opinion this is even worse. I mean it's legal and all but probably worse for you. I think as long as you don't need to do it and it's still in your control it's ok. There's a girl I know that starts shaking if she doesn't smoke weed nonstop. She doesn't even get high anymore, and in y opinion she has a problem.

    You can't see the adverse effects of chronic smoking while you're smoking chronically. But trust me, if/when you get off it, you WILL notice the difference and wonder why on earth you did that to yourself for so long. Speaking from experience.
