Wow... tis an old thread but I do have a few final things to say on the issue.

I have a few opinions on this subject and I have to say first that the first choice was the closest as I smoked pot, loved it, still like it. But, I haven't smoked it, drank or done any other drugs for over 13 years now.

I like my good friend rocketmanx have been clean for nearly a half a year now *corny applause*. No seriously I made a conscious choice to stop smoking injesting pot at all, and although I had cut back a lot over the previous months before I decided to give it up. I do have anything bad to say about those who choose to smoke pot or anything like that. Although I don't particually want to go into the reasons why I decided to give up, there was one thing that people never seem to mention.
People say pot does marvellous things, and they are completly correct it does have all these "magical" properties; but one weird things I found I had never expected only happened about a month or so after I stoped giving up and the last of the drug had worked its way out of my system. For about a week or so every day I got out of bed... I wanted to. My brain started working again and I found I could add up in my head again. Unbeliveablly I actually got motivated about stuff.
One thing I allways said that was the best thing about smoking pot as opposed to drinking was you never had a hangover. I had never realised that it had such a profound effect on my health other than the effects I experianced when smoking.
I'm not trying to be all preachy about it all. but it IS a drug that alters your mental state in ways you don't realise at the time You have to step back to reliase what the full effects are. I would never ban anyone from trying it, if people want smoke pot and have a laugh with your mates they should be allowed to. Most of the time it is the very ileagality of the drug that is the charm of it.
I'm not sure exactly what my point is but out of a few dessions I had made in my life giveing up pot is dfinatly in the top 5.. and that is definatly somehting to think on coming from an ex-pothead.
