    Since I quit I've spent at least three hours a night practicing guitar, where earlier I might have gone days without picking one up. I also already went to a volunteer fair, and I have a ton of energy I hadn't had before. I feel pretty good.

    That shit is fucking retarded. Especially for women. My argument against female potheads has to do with quality of reproductive organs, though.

    Thanks. Pot isn't physically addictive, so since I made this decision, I haven't had any problems coping at all. Honestly it's all just gone up hill since. Better moods...more lucid...etc. I basically got to a point where I was getting into coke and other things...and one night I sort of just had an epiphany that...wow...you know...I have a drug problem, and so here I am now.

    Luckily, my grades never took a hit, and I'm still on scholarship and all that.

    Actually, they say it is indeed physically addictive, but because THC is fat soluble the withdrawal is just a lot longer rather than being short and shitty.

    I'm not sure the effects are comprable even to coffee though.

    I gave it up for 3 months with no problems after smoking it daily for a year.

    Then my hippy friend came back from hawaii and I needed to celebrate.

    now I'm 3 weeks sober.

    Quitting Oxy was the hardest thing, and probably will be the hardest thing I'll ever do.

    200+ mg a day to nothing. I spent 2 weeks in my bedroom sweating, shaking and puking.

    fuck that shit. clean 4 lyfe

    I'm pretty good at being a dick, so I'm not worried about hecklers.

    Heres one of my lifes greatest ironies;

    I love public speaking, and I think I'm great, but I'm deathly afraid of doing stand up comedy.

    WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT EVEN SUPPOSED TO MEAN?!

    Public speaking is easy though.

    All that takes is confidence.

    I once gave a speech for environmental engineering without ever looking at any material, I did the speech soley from what I had learned in class. My friend did the power point presentation and all I did was look at the screen as I was giving my talk and went through the bullet points on the screen. My friend was pissed off at me when he found out I didn't do any preperation. His mouth was literally hanging open as I nailed the entire speech then threw the floor open to questions (which I didn't need to do but I was feeling cocky at the time) and answered every question. My lecturer was super-impressed.

    Comedy however, you can't really research it. I mean you can write up jokes but all of it needs to be in your head and if something isn't working in a crowd it just isn't really working and it's hard to change your act midway through the set.

    I've heard a month is about how long it takes to feel completely free of the effects of quitting. However, for the daily smoker, a big change comes even after the first week.

    Women just need to avoid fat soluble shit in general. Also, only start smoking when you're 25 if you're gonna get heavy into it.

    THC collects in the cell walls of the brain and in the reproductive organs, since those places have a good amount of fat. In the cell walls the THC keeps the brain receptors from doing their proper job, hence the loss of short term memory. For the most part though, especially in kids, that stuff will heal up when the kid gets off of weed.

    As for the reproductive organs, the THC screws up sperm and eggs. Sperm is constantly produced, thankfully, but eggs are once in a lifetime, so you don't really have a lot of leeway. An egg that's been sitting in THC ridden pastures will lead to a kid whose brain doesn't develop quickly enough to perform in school at the same level as another kid.

    i think marijuana is generally harmless when used occasionally and there is plenty of reputable literature out there to support that

    but that said it does drain your motivation like whoa

    Agreed, but it also depends on how pure it is. Some of the Canadian shit qualifies as a hallucinogen.

    It's not that I couldn't have the chops to be a stand up comedian. It is just that I have absoluetly no desire for that kind of work. In order to be great at that job, you have to genuinely give a damn and I would much rather spend my energy on something else.

    Like yelling at extras not to look at the fucking camera and asking people that I am not paying a dime why can't they remember three fucking lines.

    Good luck becoming a director, especially now. Movie business and photography are probably the most flooded markets for careers right now. Both were things I really wanted to get into, still kind of do, but I don't hold out much hope for it.

    my dream changes every few months. though as a kid i really wanted to be a pilot. don't have the eyes for it though.

    Right now I think it would be pretty rad to own a comic book shop, but in a few months that'll prolly pass and I'll want to be a juggler.

    EDIT: oh and I always wanted to do martial arts as a kid. Right now I am the president of the TKD club at my college, so things in that department are going pretty damn well.
