cannabis problems???

[TYSON]

Man my wife keep bugging me to stop smoking. Not for a lil while but pretty much forever. There is a chance I can get a job making 20+ dollars an hour but they do random drug tests. Quitting to get a job is no problem only a month of not smoking but forever man I don't think I can do it. I love getting high. I don't smoke all day but yes everyday after I've taken care of what's needed and a dime lasts me a week so I have gotten comfortable with my smoking habits. I smoke responsible. But I don't want to stop smoking for good man. I am lost at the moment.

I'm trying to have a serious convo on this and I know jokes will come but don't go overboard with it people.

I stopped smoking weed for ages a few years even and here is why

I had a big weed habit early teen years thru forever but I was out of school ready to make money and etc and realised that if i quit then and actually quit quit i would have a very nice future money wise, but if i kept smoking id be high all day but could risk losing a future for myself if i only quit for a drug test or 3. so I quit for a while got mad monies only been smoking for a couple years again I think but quit for ages


if its to better yourself quitting is not an option....no one wants to work at applebees forever u feel me?

[oats]

it's good to put it down for an extended period. having a 4-6 month break is an important psychological milestone, shows you that you can, in fact, go without it. I took 2 months off in June and just started again recently, shit's fantastic.

The other benefit is that it makes passing the piss test easier because it won't be in your system as much. so when you do take down a pinner, you can easily flush it out in a week or less (depending on how active you are).

Idk if I'll ever completely stop, but I see my habit continuing to tone down as I get older.

[TheEnd]

I guess it depends on what career ur gettin into, cuz I smoke everyday n make well over 35+ an hr, so stop get on with that job n search 4 something else in the mean time were ur able to or get some certifications

[TYSON]

I feel y'all and yes I'm trying to get more money but it ain't like I'm controlled by weed shit a dime a week. In my old days it was a dub a day. What's getting me is quitting for good I've stopped for months at a time but always new I would smoke till I died but now its seeming like a extra I enjoy is being restricted from me. I'm not a drug dealer I'm working taking care of my fam the legal way. Man I don't know.

just quit, truth is your not addicted and dont really need it

quit until you are where yu want to be and comfortable in your zone and then start again

dont ever listen to oatmeal he is the DEVIL

Sounds legit...but to be real this might be the best opportunity I can get yes I have a degree but I fucked that up by all the drugs I did in college cause I can barely remember shit I was taught and the school cut corners to get more graduates. Man maybe it is time to call it quits but I love getting high occasionally.

[Split]

Chances are, they never actually drug test and just keep that provision in there so they can be like "hey you look drunk/ ripped, piss in this cup" without a legal battle

[TheEnd]

Yea quit until u get were u want 2 be

But damn a dime a week a 7th doen't even last a day 4 me lls

[TYSON]

Its like my souls being ripped out

[Objective]

''I smoke responsible.''

This does it for me, tell her that it's one of the things you enjoy and that it ups the value of your life. Not that you can't without it, but it's much better with and that's reason enough for you not to quit. Since she's your wife shit's pretty serious and you got to figure out what to do, but if it was a gf of mine or whatever I'd tell her that I'd feel bad that someone I love so much and enjoy spending time with would be in the way of something that makes me feel good every once in a while.

[Destroyer]

personally, I can't quit, or maybe to keep it real, I just have no desire too
it's a big part of my lifestyle, and I don't really feel like I'm functioning properly without it
that being said, if I was facing a choice of the best job I would ever have the chance for, I'd probably quit no question
but if I was choosing between a slightly better job and one that allows me enough money to live comfortably and still smoke, I'm going for that one.
because, to me, it's kind of a necessity

[oats]

also, it's nice to have that extra bit of money from not buying weed. sounds like it wouldn't be a huge difference in your case, but still a nice bump of ~50 a month. DO IT.

This is how I feel tbh. Been smoking weed more then half my life. Its not a vice for anything I just simply enjoy it. And yea its a big jump from what I'm making now. So its like it has to be done.

And my wife is not demanding me cause she knows that will never work and she will be with me regardless but she is throwing mind bombs at a nigga and its starting to work. Just difficult

[oats]

THE PATH OF CHALLENGE IS THE PATH OF FULFILLMENT


CHALLENGE YOURSELF

[Destroyer]

I say do it and just keep handy a thing of synthetic piss and a warmer so if you do get pulled for a random test, you're prepared. if it's that big of a pay increase, it's not that big of a deal to strap a small container of synthetic piss to your leg each morning

[Wise Wiggles]

grow weed

[TYSON]

Lmao @ each morning

And yes the challenge of all challenges for me. Fuck it I got this weeks supply to enjoy and then I gon give it a shot. Appreciate the maturity displayed. Y'all can go back to the usual now.

[God Of War]

this is why cats cant achieve anything in life lmao

fucking stop smoking if it is going to better yourself it should not even be a choice

[TYSON]

No the farce of weed being illegal and alcohol being legal is the problem. I shouldn't have to point out the statistics in the case.

[God Of War]

No the farce of weed being illegal and alcohol being legal is the problem. I shouldn't have to point out the statistics in the case.

no thats not the problem rofl the problem is you relying on a substance and wanting it more then a better life

DO U MY FRIEND

i will throw u change when i walk by u at the mickey d's my dude but dont be asking for none of my weed

[Untold]

It's been almost 5 years since I last smoked. And I can tell you life's not only good, but it's great! Not sure if its because I quit, but I can tell you I attribute a lot to it!

I do still love the way weed smells and tastes but I had ci sequences from it early on. So now I just have more money, more mind space, and more things to do with my time. Dunno if that's what your looking to get out of life, but it's worth a shot:

I'll tell you this, I can't say I quit forever but I'm not smoking today and so far it's been a pretty good day. Best day ever!

[oats]

That was the biggest plus for me and my inner Jew - all the extra money I found myself with. Almost 300 a month I used to spend on weed.

[TYSON]

300 a month, damn.

[Hush]

A dime last you a week??

Lmaoooo

Who buy dimes u 1993 ass muhfucka

[oats]

8th a week, always splurged for the 60-70$ 8s instead of the Shittier 50s. Now I spend max 60 a month, usually closer to 20-30.

[Hush]

8ths are 40 in NYC

[TheEnd]

Damn I only get half O's n better

[TYSON]

A dime last you a week??

Lmaoooo

Who buy dimes u 1993 ass muhfucka

Cause its just me. Nobody around me smokes and I don't want to spend more then that. Could give a fuck how good it is weed gon get me high regardless. That spending a lot of money on weed is gone.

[oats]

8ths are 40 in NYC

I know, I spent a good amount of time there. You can get shitty 40$ 8s out here too, but the more expensive shit is much better. On average, quality of buds is higher out here tbh.

[uh-oh]

i copped dimes forever

now i just drop 50 on an eighth and it can last up to 2 months. at least 1 month

ima solo smoker as well. take a few puffs and im good for awhile

and like you tyson ima wait till i got everything done smoker

i've quit for months. it sucks tho. i love weed. if i had to get a job where it drug tests randomly or monthly i would never keep that shit. i'll pass an initial drug test and call it quits

[ill nik-A]

I'm with destroyer, I make good money and enjoy it

If that's what u gotta do then do it

Don't quit permanently son. I just smoked for the first time in over 1 year and I gotta say it was the dopeness. Stop when you need to, but don't let it be forever lol

[Rawn M.D.]

The job may not even drug test u unless someone told u u would b drug tested it's usually just a legal formality for ins and hr reasons

this may b less bout job n more bout her

just sayin

But yo even when I've stopped for an extended period of time n then lit up later I'd smoke easily a half eight to the dome

sounds like a very small recreational aspect of ur life.. U can do it ez

just look at it like an Na or for SA and do it ba day at a time
till u pass the drug test or see there is none so 3 mo max given that's the typical probationary period for ajob

but I think it's more then a job... But Ud probably know that a whole lot better than me

[TYSON]

No its the job. My wife throws the job in my face tho lol like "my brother says they pay around 25 dollars an hour just for having a degree" and say things like u love weed that much. And yes she just got a promotion but....ok maybe I don't like the fact she makes more then me. Still don't want to quit smoking for good but y'all making sense I'm gon ask her bro how many drug tests he has had since he been there a year...

[Rawn M.D.]

Don't ask her

if he cool people ask him tho

[God Of War]

How much u make an hour now if its below 20 and they paying 25 don't be fucking stupid that's an extra 200 on a 40 hour week

[Destroyer]

and think of how much weed you could buy with $200

[TYSON]

and think of how much weed you could buy with $200

Dead

And I would not like to give that info out. I make very little and have been working at the same place for 3 going on 4 years. Yea u are right GOW ok.


Destroyer is evil lmao

[Witty]

I think you're gonna be getting a divorce man.

[TYSON]

I think you're gonna be getting a divorce man.

Explain

[uh-oh]

yo if your happy with the money your making then fuck that shit YO

i mean you got the internet and you live in america. fuck it. blow weed and chill YO

[Witty]

Your wife will leave you for someone willing to give up a habit to better their life.

Is what I meant.

[Frank Metts]

Quit...

Its not bettering your life homie

And jobs that say they random drug test are required to test x amount of people in an allotted time frame... but weed is just a crutch for something no one ever admits they might do it for stress relief or it helps their anxiety etc etc but using a substance that's a mood stimulant almost always means theirs snd underlying issue whether you realize it or not and it could be something as simple as a stress relief

Most people say they do it cause they like the feeling or it makes them feel good... but what was wrong eith the way you were feeling before you smoked? Trust me I had to cope with this snd let it process before I realized my doc was right.. that's another talk to your doc about it he can't tell anyone what you tell him without your approval

Its to risky theirs so many reasons a job can just pull you for a " random piss test " like getting hurt at work etc etc


I vote stop and progress with your life ... move forward because moonwalking only looked cool when Michael Jackson did it

[Coup]

im about to harvest 3lbs+ of blackberry (cross between raspberry cough and black domina)...buds may be turning purple, upping the bag appeal.

if i could I'd give you all some...roll a few fat blunts for NC

i don't like smoking weed tho,

just I have no choice but grow some money to pay the bills

[TYSON]

Your wife will leave you for someone willing to give up a habit to better their life.

Lol I was living in my car when we meet and she didn't care. So how much money I'm making ain't a factor in this relationship bubby.

[God Of War]

Lol I was living in my car when we meet and she didn't care. So how much money I'm making ain't a factor in this relationship bubby.

its a facto in every relationship , she may of got with you when you was poor, but trust she didnt expect to stay that way. she got with you cuz she saw potential. ur wasting that for weed. get ur life right my dude and all else will fall into place. if she stuck with u when u was living in a car then you should want to get right for ur family atleast......i work as hard as i do so my family can enjoy it

[TYSON]

Quit...

[TYSON]

We do well for ourselves. We struggle sometimes yes but not bad. I already said I'm gon do it after I smoke this last dime. Its not a necessity to keep my wife or anything cause she gon be with me regardless. But personally as a man I am thinking I should do it.

Dude I'm not saying you have some serious mental issue or some terrible addiction... but your implying it helps you relax so you could have underlying stress ( like 99% of the world ) maybe you have anxiety or an over active mind at night and it helps slow that down .. ill assume from the time frame you don't sleep at night so maybe some insomnia issues which again very common ... the thing with drugs is most people don't realise they self medicate itsnot a crutch if in your terms that was a crutch then acetaminophen would be a crutch for a headache

Everyone has issues whether big or small ... I'm not calling you out snd saying you smoke or whatever I'm just applying facts

You could be a little depressed cause yoy say you smoke while your wife works ... its normal I hate when my wife work late too ... use to pop a perc then I'd forget about it then when the buzz wore down I'd be ready to knock out ... in my mind I'm taking tje perc cause my " knee hurt " but in reality I'm taking it to mask something

Our brains are wired to fix whatever issue it is we are having ... and when we find something that works we stick to it ... snd we personally don't even realise it most of the time


Obviously you don't smoke a lot but you made this thread so its hard to give up and your willing to throw away a good opportunity just for that little bit of weed ... process that because if it was for recreation and you know you could better your family by quitting then the decision would of already been made and we wouldn't be having this digital come to jesus conversation

150 will get you an ounce of fire here, bro.

[Rawn M.D.]

Frank what do u do... Like title?

[Frank Metts]

Frank what do u do... Like title?

Mental health worker

Deal with children who've been abandoned, abused physically and sexually, have minor and major mental health diagnosis, or just all around bad kids the kind you have to literally scare straight

[Rawn M.D.]

Lol I thought this whole time u was speaking on ya actual kids lmfao

[Frank Metts]

Nah I have one child .. she'll be 13 months in like 3 days


These def aren't my kids lol but a lot of what's happened to them is Heart wrenching you just habe to put that aside gain their trust which is the hardest part then get inside their head snd try to rewire their brains ... help them cope understand it can get better make sure their Medication if they take any is rightor working and hopefully get them discharged so they can attempt to live a normal life

[Rawn M.D.]

So r u a tech or a therapist

[Frank Metts]

Tech but would like to find the time to be an actual therapist truth be told I get through to some children more then their therapist snd they have some good therapist .... on campus their are some very untherapeutic ones ....

But were an rtf ( residential treatment facility ) basically looks like a mini college campus .. school on site, dorms etc etc

[Rawn M.D.]

Is it outpatient or inpatient?

So it's not a hospital setting...

[Frank Metts]

Inpatient style... and theirs medical staff on site 24/7 but its set up more like a college ... 12 houses 5 dorm rooms in each house ... staff on site 24/7 ... kids have strict schedules but no locked doors ... lot of therapeutic activities ... school... church if they want snd session upon session of discussion treatment goals

[Rawn M.D.]

Is it multi treatment

Like is it a rehab/detox type deal or

people court ordered for behavioral issues

or mental illness

or all

[TYSON]

Damn u got a lot of questions lol

[Hush]

Tyson is a therapist

[oats]

Frank, do they have taco tuesdays at the dining facilities? what about pizza party fridays? do the therapists prescribe meds or is it mostly cognitive psychology style? if they do prescribe meds, do they sometimes bake them into the pizza on pizza party fridays?

Therapists can't prescribe meds they can suggest med changes though

But psychologist are on site during the day and on call at night

No certain food days but children whom are consistently behaved and on track with treatment goals are able to attend campus dances. . Ice cream socials and off campus outings

[Rawn M.D.]

Facility sounds nice enough

as long as the doors behind u don't have to shut for the doors in front to open ur ok

[Frank Metts]

Nah no locked doors

Kids run all the time ... chasing them is a bitch cause half the campus sits on a horse farm and wooded area and that's usually were they head
