Last Night Before the Big Cold Turkey – Are You Ready?

gums So you went to the Dentist, they asked the standard question, i.e “How many cigarettes do you smoke? 1-4, 10+, 20+ etc etc” You tick the minimum box thinking you’re being pretty honest, cos you tell most people you don’t smoke which you believe to be true. Dentist looks into your mouth at your teeth and gums, and thinks “1-4 huh? yeh sure buddy, your mouth looks like the Human Centipede version of stitching a car exhaust to your face!”  If only there’d been a weed tick box on the form, things would have been so much more honest right.

It’s that time again….

EmpyBagofWeedSo you bought a large stash of Amnesia Haze, and decided I’m gonna out on a BANG! Of course as you do at the beginning of the bag you were making big SNOOP DAWG joints, perhaps coughing your nuts off, but HAPPY! Alas that only seems like a memory now and well you’re forced with something very scary and real approaching you, i.e. this bag is done and once lay JUICY BUDS now is a few crumbs …. I really gotta do this.  Getting high is great relaxing feeling, it doesn’t give you massive hangovers the next day, it’s a fairly pleasant experience so why the big WHO-HA about me having to give this shit a break for a while, it’s not hurting me OR at least you don’t think so! Ultimately that’s the case, we never realise who is good or bad for us generally in life as sometimes we can be in denial about things, and only years and years later do you actually start to see the truth for the truth.

BOSSNow everybody that reads this blog regularly will know that I FUCKING LOVE CANNABIS, I do and that’s what really qualifies me to say I FEEL YOU, I do but along with that comes many a logic and reasoning that too much of a good thing can’t be a good thing. This statement is completely dependant on what you want in life, i.e. if you have a nice arrangement where you’re comfortable doing what you’re doing and are regularly smoking up and it’s neither disturbing your life or improving it then that’s cool.  However if you have dreams to achieve, with many a long winding road yet to walk plagued with end of level boss battles, then I’d seriously ask you to reconsider your daily routines.  Weed is an amazing sedative relaxing drug, but feeling sedated and being a go getting don’t work together that well, if anything they make each others life difficult.  Now you’ll quote me some of the biggest HIP HOP stars and successful people and tell me that they’re quoted on an interview saying how much they smoke a day, yeah yeah blah blah blah blah. If this is where you are, then I’d urge you do some more research cos you’re really fucking yourself by believing this fluff talk then that’s dangerous.  For in the end we should all do what we do knowing the dangers, and if you choose to waver them then I fair play to yourself, and I have nothing more to say to you.

METHODS OF QUITTING/HAVING A BREAK

This naturally varies from personality to personality as people react differently to the physiological effects of being without “my precious” for a while.  In the end it comes to taking one of the following approaches to this problem.

WEANING yourself off SLOWLY

In this method a person slowly reduces the amount they smoke, leading up to the date that they’ve chosen to quit.  This in theory should reduce the withdrawal symptoms you suffer from once you’ve start your no smoking pact.

Going COLD TURKEY

Now lets really talk turkey here, if you like going out with a bang this is your ticket! This method generally seems the more popular approach to tackling the issue, as even if you wean yourself down to needing just a few crumbs of weed to sleep/survive, or any other excuse you come up with, ultimately you’ll still be yearning something, just fuck it! Yes you’ll suffer from withdrawal symptoms for the first week but you’ll get over it.

Conclusion

cliffWe’ll talk of other ways to help you sustain, you period of non smoking as we go on, but for main thing that needs to be realised is the difference in not being stoned all the time to being completely clean.  For you like myself have probably been smoking for a long ass time and just have forgotten what it feels like to be completely clean of all substances – it’s a new drug in itself, hard to really explain but we’ll also hopefully go into this on a later article.  Now I find myself having to always disclaimer this, but I love weed, it’s a just great feeling, great everything, but smoking takes you somewhere, now that something isn’t a bad place AT ALL, the only issue I have is, when statistically you’ve been spending 95% of your time there, and when you try to mix shit up you can’t you’re trapped.  Somehow without realising you got locked up there, and you don’t have a choice anymore, that’s where I come in.  When choice is removed, what was once a fun thing, becomes dangerous as look at it, like have your steering wheel locked in the same direction as you go 87 mph in a direction, i.e you know you’re gonna crash just when? – take control people!
