Gonna quit weed. Cold turkey. If I don't have control over my consumption now, I think that's a sign I need to stop until I do have that ability again, if ever.
Why not quit now? Like, today, right here, right now. If you can't quit now, why would it be easier in few days?
Honestly dude, you set this artificial boundary because today's you just wants to throw off this responsibility onto next year's you. Don't be a dick for yourself!
It's their body their choice. Don't choose for them.
dude shut up, I said nothing wrong
COVID gave me a weed allergy that made me quit cold turkey. I haven't had any in a few months. I do miss it, there have been many times (like the start of November) when I would've appreciated it, but I'm scared to trigger symptoms again.
If nothing else, my tolerance has reset
That’s cool, but cold turkey is just making it harder on yourself for little to no gain. U less you just have no self control, tapering would be better for you and your body. As others have said, CT can actually just be setting yourself up for failure.
Or not, weed is one of the easiest to cut out so it’s not a big deal compared to benzos or opioids of course.
Good for you man. Setting boundaries is the way the go.
Best of luck! Weed can be enjoyable but you don't need it to enjoy things.
