Marijuana

My best friend for 8 years.  I've been consuming pot in one form or another since October 16, 2003.  Today is our anniversary.

What would have been different if I hadn't been smoking.  I mean it has been nearly everyday since I started, with a couple of exceptions around the time my children were born.  I spent the first six and a half of those years self-medicating with pot and no psychiatric medications.  The last year and a half I have been on medication and can no longer use the excuse of self-medicating.  Is it time to quit? Of course the frequency of indulging should go down.  I've heard it said that some things should be saved for celebration.  What is celebrating?  I did just get the kids off to bed...is it time to celebrate?  Or should I celebrate Fridays?  Is abstaining in the cards?  If I don't have the strength then, AMS, it must be a problem.  My problem is that everything can't stand still inside my head.  Pot slows it all down.  So I guess you would say I'm still contemplating.  Just how much sanity could I stand to gain from quitting?  What do I stand to lose if I don't quit?

  1. Marijuana is good natural medicine.

    It helps the process of deep thought, calms the nerves and soothes the soul.

    As medicine, it is best to take it as needed - not as wanted. Overuse disrespects the plant and it also dilutes the effect of happiness.

    Celebration and sorrow are good times to use marijuana. It is sad that humans use alcohol for both. Alcohol just leads to many problems - marijuana doesn't

    Use marijuana wisely - it is good medicine.
