Best way to quit the cig'rettes?

It's totally the opposite. You're killing brain cells by smoking weed. That's not good for your mental health.

Marijuana doesn't KILL brain cells. That's one of the biggest misconceptions there is. It does CHANGE the chemical structure in your brain, but not permanently - assuming you're an adult and your prefrontal cortex has finished developing.

I know some people who have bad reactions when they smoke weed (panic attacks, paranoia, etc.) though I never have. Not like alcohol which makes me act stupid and wake up with a headache forgetting what I did the night before. Or do this at the end of the night uke:

The only thing I don't like about smoking is that it makes me lazy. So I don't do it that often anymore.

Weed does not kill brain cells. I smoke weed and it improves my concentration, and perfectionist tendencies.

If that's how your reaction is, maybe you should smoke more weed/less cigarettes?

Eh, I don't know. I thought all drugs kill brain cells.

So the prescription drugs that pharmaceutical giants are profiting billions of dollars from, which doctors give to their patients, are killing brain cells?

Oh you mean just the illegal ones, my bad. Thank god my state decriminalized marijuana. Before that my goddamn neurons were dropping like flies.

I'm talking about illegal drugs. And i take my statement about killing brain cells back.

I smoke once or twice a week and my short term memory is PANTS compared to what it used to be. Definitely no real benefits aside from mild sex and music enhancement, and potentiating other drugs.

Maybe I'd feel differently if I had clean pure sativas, meh.

Over a year without a cigarette! *pats self on back*

Unfortunately, our government's decisions on what qualifies as "illegal" is more based on what they think will inhibit productivity. If people smoke weed, they'll obviously spend more time contemplating, possibly questioning authority, not getting anything done. With cigarettes, it's different. So many in the military/public service professions smoke cigarettes, it just gives them the energy to keep them going (albeit draining their lungs.) The government wants us to be workers, not intellectuals. They don't want us to do anything that might possibly feel more pleasurable than making money.

But hey, I'm just a smot-pokin' liberal, socialist, hippie... what the fuck do I know?

I do appreciate you taking the brain cells statement back, though.

I think that would be a very good plan actually.

What can I say, I speak the truth. It really worked for me. Made me a bit lazy but overall more mellow.

Though I see in the other thread the dilemma with your girlfriend... that might make things a little more difficult...

So as I was saying in multiple threads I started running like a week ago, but the interesting thing is that on wednesday I had like one cigarette and some weed for lunch and then when I was out running in the evening I felt a significant breath shortage in comparison to the days without a cig. Not that this is a discovery of the millennium but mind that the pause between having that joint/cig and running was like 4 hours. The short term effects are fucking significant and I really don't get this chick that smokes like 20 cigs a day and then runs 7 kilometers.

It's just that I'm not used to it probably. Running NOR smoking.

Eh. I don't push my weed smoking in her face, I don't even mention it when I'm around her. So if I keep it up I'm golden.

I got really fucking stoned today. Was great.

That's my approach: don't ask, don't tell. Though my girlfriend smokes cigarettes and doesn't mind if I do... and as I said earlier I had to try real hard to quit... meh.

I am back onto the cigs, hard. No shame.

What brand do you smoke Butt? Once in a while when I do buy a pack of darts, I'll get something basic like Marlboro reds or whatever, but I recently tried American Spirits, and they're pretty good. They seem to burn slower too.

John Players blue king size. A sleazy dart for a sleazy man.

American Spirit Black are the only thing I can smoke - got really used to the taste, and now everything else is stale tasting.

I don't smoke too often though - a pack will last me about a week, a little less during the school years.

Yeah, American Spirits do burn slower.

Best advice i can give anyone that wants to quit is just go and buy a carton of the nastiest cigarettes you can find and force yourself to smoke 'em.

Dunhill International Lights were one of the main reasons i stopped smoking(about 8 years ago). I was low on funds at the time and i had packs of those horrendous sticks laying around the house, after a month or two of those dunhills and i got to a point where i was so disgusted of cig's that i would even gag sometimes after inhaling.

Dunhill makes some very good cigarettes, but those international lights are by far the worst type/brand they make.

I recently quit smoking after doing it for 8 years. Not that hard when I'm putting my mind to it and I still have snus.
