This is just getting silly now. Wow... Well, my favorite strain to smoke was sour diesel. Quite a fine strain! Lemony, skunky, pungent, soaring high sativa.
But I'm happy with with my choice to stop. I feel f**king amazing right now! My anxiety has calmed down and I'm regaining my mind back.
*note* I've never had anxiety before I quit herb. And the anxiety has been EXTREMELY intense and non stop since the second day I quit. But it is getting better :thumbup:

Congratulations!
Are you taking any prescribed medicines for the anxiety or other depression medicines?
It is just my opinion, but I think you will feel even better in the months and years to come. It may take a bit of getting used to being sober. There will surely be ups and downs but your decision is a good one for sure.
thanks,

Nope, no meds. I made the choice to heal naturally. I've spent long enough on drugs (weed) and want to face this process like a man. But yes, it is strange being sober and is unnerving. But it's getting easier as the days pass.

Good for you.

I will stop coming off like the weed deliqent now! :thumbup:
And say, i went through a real addiction back in the late 80's. I'm still sober today. It gets better. On the other hand, i'm willing to bet even money, if you had no issues with anxiousness before, then most of this is just you over thinking your quitting. So really, this too shall pass!
And its good you feel a little off, so you will remember next time you decide to jump off the wagon, what you have to look forward too. See my problem was jails' every time i went on a bender, i somehow found jail'. Thank God i had enough brain too realize, if i got in more trouble, the sentence was going to be longer, and i made changes to avoid that.
One last thing, it takes real strength to admit a problem, and even more to do something about it. Your game will improve for sure also.
Here is a hint: Buy some really good couch lock weed, some real put ya in goobber mode stuff........match up that game, the guy smokes, post up 5 long sets' then go outside with him, and let him hit that goober herb for 5 mins' you'll be fresh as a daisy, and his backer will have to kick him before his shots! You can use begin sober to your advantage! Just as long as you have no desire to smoke yourself. If you cant'' best not have it around for a year or so....

look man back in my heyday I did everything anybody had.. I still don't know the names of everything I tried...
fast forward 20 years and I smoke a tiny bit of bud most weeks and have a few beers..
getting from A to B was a chore and everyone needs to clean up completely every once in a while... sounds like this is your first.. good for you.. I wish you well..
anytime you are "worried" about getting "some more" anything it's time to stop everything.. get your head straight again..
some people seem to be unable to regulate themselves.. and those people should choose to stop forever..
just to get pool related.. I like a single bat.. just one ..of mid range stuff..
and I shoot as good as I can shoot...
top of the line body high indica .. and I'll miss a hanger by a diamond LOL

body high Indie yep' thats the junk kids are smoking today (most) and it ain't no good for the old game! Now try some clear head sativa' and you might hide under the table a few min's, but once you stop peeking around the legs, thinking the stake horse from a loss 5 years ago is after you, you'll shoot pretty str8~ :grin:
Few people realize how long it can take you to pass a whiz quiz if you are a heavy pot user. I had a friend I'll call Rock'n Rod cause that is what I always called him.Rod was and is as far as I know a 1000 ton boat captain.
When dope testing got common he couldn't pass the test. Two or three days not smoking, no go. Two weeks no smoking, no go. Six weeks not smoking, no go. Rod was frustrated and asked the doc how the hell long did it take to pass the whiz quiz?
"How much do you smoke?"
"All I can get!"
"Somebody like you it may take six months to pass the test."
Rod eventually went to work for some folks that didn't care. The personel man looked at him and said, "I know two things about you, you can pass the physical but you can't pass the drug test."
Rod told him, "I can't pass it on the way out but I can pass it on the way in." Good enough, he was hired. Another pot smoking captain I knew made a little honest mistake, he mistook a three hundred and some odd foot supply boat for a lily pad in fog. Could happen to anybody I guess but more likely if you are a little casual about your job.
Speaking of casual about your job, how many people have lost their jobs because they couldn't give up the use of "nonaddictive" pot? At least one of the operating room engineers at a nuclear plant lost a very well paying career position because he tested dirty for pot three times over several years. The first time he was warned and suspended from his duties for six months, the second time he again escaped the hatchet, third time was the charm. A hitch or two in the nuclear navy, over a decade in the nuke plants, then he had to find a new occupation. It's been years and I forget what he took up but it didn't pay but a tiny fraction of what the nuke gig did. Of course I support his firing, when things go to crap an operator may have seconds to make a decision. With the nuclear containment building in sight from my home I want it to be the right one!
I have buried several people close to me that made gross errors in judgment while under the influence of pot. That makes me a lot less tolerant of it than I might be despite smoking a bale or two of it in my youth before I saw these things happen. I think JoeyA nailed it though, perhaps the greatest harm it does to society as a whole is robbing people of ambition and motivation. How much productivity does pot cost the nation? Every one of us pays for that one way or the other.
Back when working in petro-chem plants was a white male anglo-saxon occupation almost exclusively I worked with black, mexican, and female partners without complaint, all I required was that they be able to do the job. I was one of the few that would. I wouldn't work with a pothead as a partner, too dangerous. Accident prone and just not alert, they endangered their partners. One morning long before drug testing I had started work while my partner and helper were burning one. I had my head down working while they smoked and ignored them when they started talking about a pretty green cloud they were digging. Figured they were being silly or trying to jack with me. When I finally climbed up to where I could see after a few minutes of them admiring the "cloud" I saw a chlorine plume that was so dense it looked solid almost on top of us, less than a hundred feet away. I hollered "That's chlorine you morons!" and took off at a good trot crosswind on two 4" pipes sixty feet in the air. The clowns started wrestling with each other fighting over who would be first to climb up to an opening in a caged ladder to climb back down through the chlorine. They spent days in the hospital, I never drew in a whiff of chlorine. Even when I smoked pot I wasn't dumb enough to do it on the job.
When I owned businesses I didn't drug test. However when I hired someone I told them on the spot that my insurance wasn't valid if they got hurt while under the influence, simple truth. I required that they came on the job straight and sober and stayed that way until quitting time or it was a quick ticket to the gate. The rest of their lives was their business.
Maybe the title of this thread should have been "Cannabis, pool, life, and death" Decades later it still sucks thinking about the otherwise very intelligent people I buried who made bad decisions while under the influence of pot. Most of the time I take a pretty neutral position about pot. As I typed this post I thought more and more of the harm it has done to friends and family. At the moment I'm wondering why the hell I'm so tolerant. I support the death penalty for anyone possessing an amount of any illegal substance that is obviously for resale to mess up other people's lives, that includes pot. I wouldn't be upset if it included alcohol and nicotine too. I'm tired of people making fortunes off of other people's misery and foolishness. The big bucks don't come from the occasional recreational user.
The dope dealers we need to get aren't the peons at the bottom but the big boys at the top and middle. Many of those in the middle are otherwise legitimate businessmen or wealthy people with a cash flow problem. A dirty secret we don't admit, kids from poor neighborhoods don't become bigtime dealers overnight if at all. Cut out the big profits for the big dealers or make the risk too great and we wouldn't have to worry about the little dealers and users.
Wow, would anybody believe this started out to be a short and fairly light post about how long it takes pot to clear a heavy user's system?

from what i understand the traces of weed that they test for get stuck in your fat. i figure even if your friend smoked a lot as long as he stayed fit it should only take the standard 30ish days to pass
i don't think pot is one of those drugs that get included in the making money off the misery of others list.

Amazing photo. Being a good gardener is one thing, but genetics are another entirely. I had some seedlings once that you could actually see growing - I swear that is true. They shot up 3 ft in one day. Needless to say they were binned.
I grew 3 BB once and only got 2.5 oz combined. A bugger to grow. Best smoke I've ever had though - and I'm a regular visitor to Amsterdam.
Veg longer and use a bigger light. This is djshort blueberry before flowering. It's not a good yielder true, but veg it huge and the yield is acceptable. Flip to flower at this size and you can get a pound off each one if you vscrog it and use vertical open bulb 1k's. Use a larger container than this though, this is a 6 gallon bucket of just FFOF soil and wasn't nearly large enough to support the best growth in flower for that much plant mass. Plus you have to water something this big in this small of a container twice a day, and it's a real PITA. I went to 26 gallon rubbermaid bins after this and then you only have to water once daily max. It doesn't take that long to get this size with 1kw lights, you'd be suprised. Forget big plants with smaller lights though or with horizontal hoods, complete waste of time.
This style grow only requires one big light for veg, then add a second for flowering under it also vertical, 5 big plants around it in a circle, and that one little fan in the middle on the floor. No co2 or climate control or air conditioning or anything fancy. This grow was just cooled by the one fan and keeping the door open during lights on. I had no timer even at this point, just woke them up and put them to sleep manually, had to open and close the door anyway so a timer wouldn't have helped.
Very low budget and low tech, but quite acceptable results.
It all fit in this bathroom, but it was pretty tight. The other plants were pulled out for this photo or all you'd have seen is a wall of green.
The second pic is if you wanted to get really fancy with hydroponics and vertical lights, and no it's NOT my grow this is krusty buckets from many years ago, just showing what is possible. I think the strain on that is g13 though, blueberry would not yield like that. Each of these is over 4lbs per plant.

While the chemical byproduct of pot is fat soluable, being "fit" won't make a difference as to how long it takes to come clean. It is about how much one smokes and how long one has smoked. I know one gym rat that got into trouble for something other than drugs and got sent to county jail. This guy probably had 8% body fat. Took him nearly 2 months to come clean so they would let him out on work release. Meanwhile the crack head is clean and back out in society on his work release job in less than a week...

I had a good friend that probably had a job 1 year in his entire life. Sold weed only. Got nailed and went to jail. They wouldn't release him until he had a clean p test. He was drinking Golden Seal and working out everyday to get clean. He was released after 90 days. Guy smoked all day, everyday most of his life. This story is true.

POT & POOL-VERY SUBJECTIVE
There's quite a range of use between "being high all day long" and never smoking at all. I've known a number of successful road players and national champions who were regular pot smokers. A few actually smoked before a match; most only afterwards. Also keep in mind that the quality of the herb has a lot to do with its risks and benefits. Finally, I've seen MANY fights between pool players who were using alcohol and a variety of stimulants, never one between players who were smoking pot.

Oregon, thanks for the pics. Brings back old memories. Those little buddlies look very sweet.
Some memories are better off being old if you know what I mean.
Lets say that if I could play pool as well as my thumb was green, I might have hit Pro level many years ago.
My little Shop of Horrors has a couple of cue lathes in it now and I sleep much better at night.
