@ this point in my life health wise it wouldn't do me any good taking a break from toking. profound pain relief, diminished spasms and of course taking care of my head @ the same time, amazing medicine.......
I have been on an extended hiatus. My mentally-challenged son came to live with us and there was no way I could grow so for a year and a half I was in no position to get or use my favorite medicine. This was okay as I had become too dependent upon it. A break was needed.
But then I couldn't start a new grow because we had a pending move and so I couldn't do a cycle as we were negotiating on the new house. Naturally, this ended up being a complete clusterfuck that dragged on through last summer and into the fall before we finally found a house.
We get ourselves moved in and the holidays are upon us so I didn't feel comfortable starting a grow with family being here all the time. So the dry spell goes on.
Well, the family is gone and now I am getting out my equipment. I started a grow of Female Seeds Bubblegummer in my custom cabinet and things were looking up until the fan died and the plants promptly burned up.
Round Two...
Now I have decided to switch from CFLs over to tube fluoros in the cabinet to get the heat out of it once and for all. I ordered the tube fluoros a week ago and now I am waiting on them before I start again. We're going to have us a good ol' time and I am not going to worry about this ever again.
In the meantime I suffer, but I am used to it and the pain is only really bad 3 days a week, so I am like chillin' and doin' relatively okay. Had a real bad migraine yesterday, but today I just had a tension headache all day, so it is all good.

sorry to hear of all your pains n' issues mpd, hope the adversities pass quickly.......
It's seeming like it would be a good idea...
But I love smoking....
What a conundrum...
Delaying gratification for a lesser tolerance would be so beneficial but getting high right now would just hit the spot.
Damn it.

Aw man, don't listen to me. I'm blessed and it's all good! I'm sure there are other people out there genuinely suffering and hating life while I sit here and whine like a bitch. Pay it forward and no worries!

I'm actually starting the process right now of starting a herb free period...I'm aiming for just over a week, 9 or 10 days, maybe a bit longer...shouldn't be hard, what I'm not used to though is waking up and not blazing up immediately..that was a weird morning today for sure, but it will get better..just don't want to start smoking a ton of cigs again either..I tend to buy the roll your own cigs when I'm not blazing the holy chronic.

Back on again for a couple of weeks, but the aim of the exercise was fulfilled; smoke less, save more. All I done was reverse the ratio I save to what I spend on pot. Enjoy the smoke more, and save money. Win, win.
I won't be a stranger to this thread. Thanks all!

8 long months of no smoking came to an end yesterday for me. Damn, that first hit tasted good!
Had to give it up for 20 years . . . not wasting any more time . . .
Started a break on the 20th. I got really sick and weed was the last thing I could touch. I have been smoking since 15, been smoking a half O a week since I was 20 (30 now) I am aiming for a month off. I really hope that when I start up again I wont go back to being chronic and can stick to smoking in the evenings.
6days in and I am feeling ok. Sleeping and my mood are the worst parts of not smoking. My GF has mentioned I am a jerk but understands that I will get better. She quit just before we met.
The plus side, now that I am no longer bed ridden I am getting a lot more done around the house and food is taking on a whole other level of flavor.
I will keep posting every few days and let you know how I am doing

I've cut back, but haven't stopped for the recommended week or whatever it is now.
I really want to take a break, gotta make that headstash last a big longer than I do usually. It goes so fast though, pretty soon you've got like 3 nugs left and you really don't want to take a break because it's just like that.
guess it's time for a break then, huh? Wonder if I could last a week even without dipping into it?

upper respiratory caused my tbreak this time, im 2 days in. weeds the last thing i want at the moment. just kills my lymph nodes. gonna wait until the second week of march to start up again.
well decided, due to my wallet and high tolerance...I am yet again taking a break...Let's see how long it is until I call my bro-in law, to grab LOL...but had run through a half/oz in 10 days...and for me that's a lot..Normally i smoke a quarter a week...So taking a well needed BREAK..
My fav, is when I take a break and then the next time I smoke..I get blitzed...like high school high...lol but that only lasts a day

JUST got some newps about an hour ago!
Some cup winning True OG which is one of my favorites, something called 3X Crazy ( I just stuck a bud in the grinder and lit it up. It's delicious, fruity, strong, a little on the dry side so I don't reckon it'll store well for long so I guess she goes in the vape, and also another cup winner called Johnny Wonder which we're hoping will be an additional cannabis similar to their ( elemental, san jose ) "Ingrid" which does very well for me in terms of pain reduction but not at the cost of not being able to work afterwards. Reviews will be forthcoming.
Will post a pic or 2 after I get them up online sometime this week.

Lol wtf does the above post have to do with starting a weed smoking break. No one gives a f*** about your cup winning bud on a smoking break thread buddy.
Ive been on a break for the past 2 months ONLY because i ran out and refuse to purchase the piece of s*** excuse for bud that other people have. It will be at least another month before i can blaze again. I guess it's good to have breaks now and then but honestly it f****** sucks my balls so hard im over it. All i want to do is harvest and blaze up a storm.
I thought there would be more positive effects from stopping blazing for a few months but tbh its total BS, i feel no different whatsoever except slightly more grumpy and irritable than usual. Hence sporadic little outbursts like my opening sentence lol. Sobriety is for chumps gimme my weeeeeeeeeeeed back yo!!!
