Three days of not smoking. After receiving the news that yet another relative has been diagnosed with lung cancer, I figure that after ten years of smoking including a pretty big stoner dependency, I've pushed my luck enough. It's early days of course, but I'm doing pretty well on the Alan Carr method.

If anyone else wants to stop but has tried before and can't, hit me up, I have a PDF of his book I'm happy to send along. If a heavy smoker like me finds it useful, you never know - it might be worth a try. It's pretty good at psychologizing you into not feeling deprived. I've been able to join my still-smoking friends for lucnhtime cigarettes as usual without being seriously tempted, which I never thought would happen. Of course, the real test will come when I get gloriously drunk tonight, but I'm up for the challenge and will keep Eye of the Tiger playing in my head when the cravings kick in.

Now I just need to find a way of smoking weed without tobacco that doesn't suck. I don't plan on becoming a bloody nun or owt, but honestly, I find it hard to get a proper hit on implements that don't use tobacco. I'd really appreciate it if anyone can recommend anything that doesn't use baccy but also doesn't frazzle your weed down to nothing without giving you much...

Bah - in that case, I wish you smokage. In my experience, the only thing worse than wanting to stop and not being able to is wanting to smoke and not being able to. Weddings are a bitch for that... weddings and train journeys.

Damn... just thinking about being stuck in a combat situation without the possibility of a smoke is fucking with my will-power.

Have you seen the Marlboro Marine? It's a pretty powerful picture.

I quit smoking a few years ago and I still get cravings, sometimes. I think the 'want' may always be there, but it's just background buzz. You can do it, Cuckoo. Supposedly one saves money by quitting, but I never noticed it.

Am I the only one in the world who smoked weed with nothing else in it?

Speaking of, I got drunk Halloween weekend and people at the party started smoking weed. In my drunkenness I was thinking about how Versus can't smoke it, and somehow I started thinking that because he can't smoke it, I'll get random piss tests too and therefore I can't smoke it, I'd get him in trouble.

Its like when I drink my IQ drops to fifth grade levels.

Nope. If it's more than just weed, I refuse to smoke it.

Blech I do not want tobacco in my weed, I really don't get how not having tobacco in your pot makes it hard to get a good high.

If I may, a scene: My husband. Tall, bearded German guy in a Utilikilt and some docs. Very serious. Decided today he wanted to try out this "Mario game thing" I have. Spent two hours staring in intense silence at DS screen. Suddenly yells "HOW DOES A TURTLE EVEN KNOW HOW TO THROW A HAMMER?!" Startles kitten, who falls off back of couch.

Best thing ever. Made my whole week.

She looked so sad. Especially when his response was to pause the game and silently make shame carrots at her, while I laughed hysterically. Kitty has no dignity left.

I could never stomach pure weed joints. Bizarrely, for someone whose lungs are probably so black by now, they hurt my chest, don't taste as good to me, and are also pretty wasteful in terms of the portion/high ratio compared to baccy joints; not the main concern, but a salient one to a dedicated stoner living in an area where the supply can be very irregular. I tried a pipe, but again, it burnt down about 2 whole spliffs' worth on a single toke.

Versus - I looked up the Marlboro Marine... poor guy. Hope you're staying as safe as you can out there. At least you know Saya's got you covered for random piss tests on your internet people.

I haven't touched marijuana since I enlisted. It's not a hard thing to go without.

Pot induces panic attacks in me. I've never seen anyone mix tobacco with it and I grew up with pot smokers, just about everyone I knew growing up smoked it. Is that a European thing?

That's weird. I guess so - I don't think I've ever seen anyone roll up without it except people who are in the process of giving up smoking. Come to think of it though, I'm not sure I've ever known a pot smoker who wasn't also a cigarette smoker.

Okay so it made my day yesterday but close enough: I was sleeping over at my cousin's place and her roommate's cat (who I have been told doesn't like new people at all) woke me up by getting close enough to my face that the tip of our noses touched. It was the most adorable wake up I can remember ever having.
