given up weed for nearly a year now

[Cannabis Rehab Guest]

hi im in a bit of a dilemma ive given up the drug for nearly a year now i do still miss it sumtimes im 33 yrs old. i wasnt really having any negative effects from it but was at a low point in my life i lost my job and my gf in the same sort of period (not to do with the drug i might add) so i thought it might be the right time 2 quit and do something else.

Im now thinking that i might be running out if time as 2 when i could still smoke it and enjoy it as ive heard that as u get older (especially 40+) your body cant really cope with it and the high goes. does anyone relate?

Hi and welcome to the forum.

To be honest if you have managed to give it up for nearly a year I wouldn’t really be wanting to deliberately start again, whether you have felt any negative effects up to now or not or whether you will in the future, if you have managed to give it up for this long and are coping ok I don’t think there’s any point in going back to it, like you say the more you do it and the older you get the more likely you are to experience the negative side effects, why take the risk? It’s never as good as when you first start, the more you do it the less fun it tends to be, you have probably had the best days it is likely to give you, I would probably call it a day before you run anymore risk of ending up in the sort of situation many of us here have, I think you probably have more to lose than you will gain. Anyway that’s just my take on it.

Take care and please keep us posted.
