Could you willfully quit eating, vaporizing, smoking bud for 30 days?

[h^2 O]

hypothetical questions/situations............

okay why would i want to quit for 30 days? Is it for money? Girl? Kids? Job? How much? No

 

[Medical]

Could quit, if I was willing to either be bedridden, or start taking Percocet again...which I am not.

BUT

I have not actually smoked in several years, I stick with canna caps and a very occasional vape hit if I am feeling sleepless. Have not felt "High" in over a year now.

 

[MrBomDiggitty]

Medical: MJ gives satisfactory pain relief that you do not need percoset??

 

[PazVerdeRadical]

anyone can willfully do anything if they really want to, in fact, by definition, to do something willfully implies doing it because one wants to and hence it is done and infused with will.

that being said, yes.

i can also willfully eat, vaporize and smoke for 30 days, just in case you are wondering

I had a work place injury 6 years ago (maybe 7-time flies), in which I suffered an anterior compression fracture to my L 2, 3, and 4. During my time with doctors dealing with this it was discovered that my vertebrae have started to fuse together. This is happening around hip level and slowly moving upwards. As a result sections of my spine bear more weight and have more movement then they are meant to. This causes lots of inflamation and spasms.

I swallowed Percs for 6 months and really felt worse with than without! I was a walking zombie, did not do stuff with my kids or my wife. A cousin suggested Marijuana may be an alternative so I started reading.

Found out about canna caps, and once I worked out my dose have never looked back. I dose lots of times a day with a small level, as I prefer to not get any of the "High" feeling. This keeps my pain down and prevents over 90% of the spasms I had before! I pack vitamin C powder and ground mint in with my meds.

So in answer yes I found Cannabis to be a replacement for Percocets!
I hold down a fulltime job which is quite physical, and I also run a small parttime home business working with "Bad" dogs and their owners.

With that said, my recreational drugs of choice are Nicotine, caffeine, and alcohol. I have not had a cigarette for three or four days, and quit often go for a week or longer without. So I dont see why I could not go 30 days. The thing is I choose to consume a drug for recreation there fore I am in charge not the drug! I often brew decaf because I just want the flavor of the coffee.

Hmm, so essentially you are using marinol pills? Caps as in capsules? When I got my medical MJ prescription I was also given a prescription for marinol which I never filled because it was just as expensive as marijuana buds. I wonder... I think I still have it laying around here somewhere.

 

[Medical]

No I make my own capsules using my home grown meds.

Ha no nothing so fancy as all of that! My caps consist of finely ground buds heat activated and packed into capsules with vitamin C and mint.

Alright. I am sure this may offend some. But I am just going to say it..

If you dont have the balls or willpower to quit smoking cannabis for 30 days, you've got some serious issues with confidence, willpower, strength, and all around being a confident and well rounded individual. People who act like cannabis is crack are pathetic.

I totally agree with this. I have given up quite a few times. Never any problems.

Tobacco was a different story...

 

[JohnnyHolland]

The notion you can judge a persons entirety based on their affinity with one particular substance or another , and their ability to quit it is histerical. A good weed quitter might also be a violent drunk, there are thousands of other silly examples. What about medical users, are they weak as well? Your attitude and ideas stinks of right wing idiocracy.

Ummmm... no.


Marinol is NOT Cannabis and does not have anywhere near the same medicinal value that raw natural cannabis does.



Marinol is a synthetic THC. Difficult to dose properly and not very effective. (Words from doctors and patients... not mine) It takes a long time to kick in and is extremely expensive.


Canna-pills are made from the natural plant and have THC and several hundred OTHER active compounds that have medicinal value. Marinol only has THC, or rather a chemical substitute that mimics THC.


There are millions of people parroting that same crap that marinol is already available and there's no reason for medicinal cannabis. They're wrong. Marinol may have very limited uses but for the average cannabis patient.... it's not an option and logically the wrong choice.

just let me drop some k+ your way.

peace and light

Hydro-Soil, I agree 100% with you on marinol, already tired of hearing all the stupid arguments when discussing the topics with several locals... this is what essentially happens when you have a large population that inform themselves solely through newspapers and tv, obviously they are just going to be badly informed, which is what happens today... how can you debate someone whose only information comes from tv or a newspaper? it is like trying to teach someone that 'dro' is not really a strain of cannabis...

nor marinol nor sativex nor any of that stuff can replace the real herb. besides, the real herb is easier and cheaper to produce, so all those pills simply make no sense and are further proof of how infantile and twisted these prohibitionist laws really are.

When I quit for a month, it was to prove to myself that I could, because I had been smoking non-stop for 5 years at that point, and had not willfully stopped yet. Now I always have plenty of bud, and make sure I am also able to ingest it for a month straight if I like, heh heh.

 

[masterKahn]

I take breaks and sometimes up to a month or more. I have pain issues and The thing I don't want to take a break from is being pain free, well alot less pain at least. Would you ask someone to take a month break from any other medication then say they are weak if they couldn't?

I'm not addicted to cannabis I'm addicted to feeling normal and pain free.

even if you are healthy and you have a limitless supply of homegrown who cares! Alot of people smoke for years straight and still have high paying jobs, pay their taxes and drive their kids to soccer.

 

[EllieGrows]

I take breaks, for financial reasons as well as tolerance reasons. Im a medical patient, and I have some tough times when I have to stop.

 

[CANNACO-OP]

no, quit askin
