Yes.  De-nile is not just a river in egypt.  Avoid the weed and gain some clarity.

Hell yeah its bad for you. Don't even contemplate doing it (hope it's not too late). It's hard enough to get good grades, get a good job, and compete intellectually in society. Why hinder yourself by destroying your brain cells, reducing your memory, response time, and making it harder to focus, eliminate 90% of possible job opportunities due to the fact that you cant pass a drug test, increased possibility of getting involved with other drugs (it's a given that if you smoke weed you most likely smoke cigarettes, increased probability of going to jail(get caught with enough of it and your going to jail), etc. \n****WEED IS BAD**** I wish rappers wouldn't glorify that @#%!.

I'm there with you! I actually quit about 2 months ago, and then 2 weeks ago I was under a lot of stress and started back up again. I kept smoking one or two a day and kept telling myself, I'm not smoking again, I'll quit tomorrow, but I haven't. I think that you really, really have to want to quit. Not for your family, or your health, but just because you don't want to do it anymore. My dad, who is 54, quit a few weeks ago, and he has smoked since he was 16. He is using the patches. I'll pray for you and you pray for me! Good luck!

I used to smoke alot of weed, like everday like in the middle months of school, actually most days were like 3 times a day the most. I think it does help you lose weight even though you eat more. Hmmm.... oh but after all that eating you do go to the bathroom a couple times. Man I miss the good old days....cant wait till school starts again!

i think something society completly oversees is how powerful our minds our. Mind over matter. If you ever experiment with hallucinogenic drugs, you will quickly realize this. Now though your on the right track with quitting by the half life of the radiation particles that is in tobacco last 30 years or so. So your chances of getting lunger cancer are very very high right now even though you quit.\n\nCheck out this article about some very interesting things you could be doing to help you now that you quit. \n\nCongrats by the way.

Well Mathyu I wish you could grow your own legally. I would be growing my own legally too if I could. I just went to Jack Herer's website and will be spending some time later reading more of it. Previously I was unaware of cannabis' ability to turn back the hands of time for Alzheimer's patients. My mom died of complications from Alzheimer's Disease I wish I had known then that there was a way to help her to keep from losing parts of herself.\nI could certainly use the $ but I don't think from what I've read so far that I would want to prove Jack wrong.\nWe'll talk again I'm sure.\nLL

You should whats best for you and quit if exhausted. You can also take a break and just relax. If you are in high school; you should stay because you can receive a scholarship.

the question is How addicted are you? I gave up by reading the book How to stop smoking and stay stopped for good by Gillian Riley. I went to the smoking cessation clinic who prescribed me patches and lozenges. It was hard, i know someone who could stop for days at a time yet couldnt completely give up! It is hard yet its well worth it and four years down the line i can have a fag every 6 months yet its just not the same, yet im £1000 a year better off and i dont cough and wheeze in the morning and the numb feeling in my toes has come back. My ex is looking at having his legs amputated as the blood flow and oxygen dosnt reach his toes, still he smokes. the sooner you give up the better. if i can do it you can too!

Cannabis isn;t addictive.. The only effect you will see is being starter, and having motivation again.\n\nAnd not getting the munchies.\n\n\nThe ever Helpful,\n-HtJ

god made pot..... man made cigs and alcohol.... make your decision...\n\n\nwhat the other person said is true.. brain cells are reduced.. you wont be able to pass a drug test and get a decent job, and if you keep on.. your chance at ever having kids will be very slim.\nhowver on the other side of that.. it is a natural herb, doctors perscribe it to cancer patients for the pain... and if a dr perscribes it.. it cant be all bad.. right?

perhaps refreshen your study room, brighten it up with bright paint, clear out the debris, open the windows, let in fresh air, take a quick shower, set yourself a break time before you get stressed, have a buddy to call you for 'keeping on track'...reward yourself, listen to positive motivation tapes in free time, take up a a new sport for boosting energy,...and talk things out with a counsellor perhaps...might be something there troubling you, choose uplifting music in the background and even splash some Bach flower remedies and aromas around, to clear the head and to revitalize you.  don't get down about things, you'r doing a great job....and hey!! its okay to work with a buddy too....find more buddies and have a different one each night...that makes each one, one a week, and is not tying them down monotonously.

Quitting smoking is the hardest thing to do.  I quit 4 months ago.  I smoked 2-4 packs a day for over 40 years.  I never considered quitting until they took me to the hospital by ambulance.  I have 1st stage emphysema which is a miracle but will live with the consequences of smoking for the rest of my life.  I wish you well.  I can not imagine smoking one cigarette a day.  It seems a bit ridiculous.  However, if you smoke one cigarette a day, it seems that would not necessarily be bad for you.  Tobacco is an herb and has medicinal properties, but you would have to grow the tobacco yourself, since each cigarette produced by our huge tobacco companies has been enhanced with over an hundred chemicals which go directly to the brain and cause the craving and addiction which has proven too difficult for some people to quit even to the point of death.  I loved smoking for most of my life but have been devastated at the horror of coming "off" of this drug for the last 4 months but am determined to remain smoke free.  I have tried the commit lozenges, nicotrol gum, a nicotrol inhaler and the patch and am using the gum right now.  Hopefully, I will be able to get off of all nicotine by the end of this year but in any case, I am no longer polluting my environment and causing grave harm to my health.  There is a huge pool of resources available to "quitters".  I have used them all, even down to a counselor that I got by calling 1-800-nobutts.  Again, I wish you well.

Dont do the bleach thing, you'll end up in the hospital I promise you that.\n\nOnly thing I'd recommend is cruise around to your local "head shops" and ask them if they have any products that cleanse your system.  Don't mention THC, dont mention Cannabis, Just say you need to take a drug test and you need a product that cleasnes your system.  Drink lots of Cranberry juice and lots of Water, to the point where your constantly urinating.  Start brushing your teeth and using mouthwash with lots of alcohol as much as you can the day before and the day of the test.  I'm talking brushing your teeth like 7 times a day.  (this kills cells in your mouth and washes them away incase its a mouth swab test).   \n\nStill your best bets are to either get the expensive kit that cleanses your system, or to sneak in urine from someone else that doesn't consume and illegal substances.  Easy way to do that is with condoms and rubber bands.  Fill up the condoms, tie them off tightly, rubber band them to your leg bring a needle with you(sticking it in your shoe works good).  When you go into the bathroom your usually alone so just poke a hole in the condom, fill it up to the point they need and then take the used condoms with you(id recommend washing them before you put them in your shoe or whatever so you wont smell like urine).  dont leave rubber bands, needles or condoms behind.\n\nHeavy smokers (smoking lots every day) can rid themselves completely of THC by just not smoking for 30 days.\n\nLight smokers that just smoke once or twice durring the week or even less usually only take a week or two to get it all out of their system.  Sometimes even less i guess it depends on the person.\n\nGood luck, hope you pass for job/sports or whatever.  Only thing wrong with cannabis is its legal status.  If its a job, I'd recommend finding one that doesn't require pissing in a cup unless its a career choice, in which case you should have quit sooner.

Gradually decrease your cigarette intake and make a time table which is attainable. Do not do it abruptly, this can cause more harm than good for others. Good luck you are making a good decision already by choosing to quit. Good Luck!! :-)

The ecstacy and weed flushed out of your system months ago; you can get a saliva drug test with no worries. :)

Yes, I quit smoking over two years ago now. I smoked for about 7 years previously. How did I do it? Well, what worked for me was patches and counselling. Yeah, I can't think why anyone would want to try and quit any drug of dependence without some kind of assistance (especially nicotine). If you're a regular smoker, for example, you're going to go freaking nuts at times while the nicotine is exiting your system. At least get some patches, gum, or whatever so that you don't go mental! Also, you might want to ring a support number for quitters. I used Quitline in Australia. They helped enormously.
