I just recently quit smoking MJ because it was hindering my life. I had become dependant and severely addicted. Smoking nearly an eighth a day, 14 joints, for personal use only, and then smoking more whenever the oppurtunity arose while friends or people who smoked it as well were around. Normal daily life had become an incredibly difficult task where I would think about simple actions, such as left foot, right foot. The worse moment I will never forget is after smoking 6 joints I couldn't remember exactly how to make cereal. The toaster was even added into the equation and I wondered if it was supposed to be lightly toasted or very crispy. Thankfully I still had enough common sense not to pour milk into the toaster, and made the decision to go to sleep and try sobering up.
If anyone thinks that smoking marijuanna has any negative side effects, I could be the poster boy for it. Before smoking marijuanna daily I was very social and active in my lifestyle, but after I had developed severe anti-social tendecies and had lost over 45 lbs. The mental affects were even worse though. I had always been able to think very clearly and never let a thought pass by without analysing, questioning, reasoning, and taking into the accounts of others thoughts and feelings on the subject. I could spend two to three hours thinking about one subject with relative ease, and was never bored or had confused thoughts about what I was thinking. It was completely and entirely possible for me to have a full blown conversation with myself. even more incredible was I was able to memorize peoples basic reactions to conversation and predict to a very close extent how they would react in a conversation on a subject. This would allow me to plan out an entire conversation and the outcomes. I did use this to my advantage and usually got the results I was looking for. I saw this as a very powerful form of manipulation and I was not afraid to use it. Now I have a somewhat repititous conscienceness; thoughts will be repeated such as "put the coat on the rack", and even after the coat has been placed on the rack "put the coat on the rack" will still occur. The long-term effects of marijuanna have given me a lower appreciation of myself, and especially my intellect.
My advice is smoke recreationally, but when you start to feel the effects of marijuanna creep into your normal life when you are sober stop immidiately to take the time to recover.
