I was doing a random google search for any information or suggestions on how to temporaraliy quit smoking weed for a drug test that is coming up. I read almost every one of these posts because I feel like everyone here knows how difficult this really is. I have been smoking weed everyday, 1-10 times a day, for the past 3 years. My boyfriend of 2 years and I have gone to Amsterdam for the cannabis cup, smoked some of the best weed in the world, and now I have to give up my favorite hobby!
Smoking weed is truely my passion. I am in college and doing very well. I have gotten two scholarships and passed every class. There really isn't any reason for me to think that weed is negatively affecting my life. The ONE AND ONLY reason I am quitting is for a drug test. After I graduate, I am going into a profession where random drug tests will most definitly occur. I have about 5 days left of smoking, and rather than smoking some good stuff right now, I am here writing because I am so worried about how this hiatus will affect me and my realtionship with my boyfriend. (His profession does not drug test)
When weed is hard to find, or I don't have any when I want to smoke, I get very mean. I know you all know what I am talking about. Sometimes (though I hate to admit it) I will even cry if I can't get it. Now when I take a step back this sort of seems like how a cocaine addict would act although I don't have any physical withdrawls. I already see myself getting angry at my friends who will still be sitting around ripping bongs and listening to music. I know the best thing would be to stop hanging out with them, but I have known them for years!
I then start to think, "why the hell would I choose this profession with all these drug tests?" I could be much more happy if I just moved to Amsterdam and started my own coffeeshop, but I guess that is not in my cards. I am giving up one of the biggest parts of me and honestly I'm scared. Will I be the same when I quit? Will I still like my friends? Will my entire life SUCK after this?? I can't imagine doing my daily activities without being stoned. It just seems like it wouldn't be as fun! I don't know, I guess I have no choice. I started to think about other careers I could have chosen. After a couple years of college on a track towards one major, it might be pointless to change now. Then again, I might be a lot happier. Smoking weed is a part of me, and I don't know if stopping for a career that is against that is worth it. If anyone has some advice, I could use it. Thanks
