I've smoked a lot of pot-I went from daily tokes for six years to nothing overnight, and I haven't smoked any for seven years. Piece of cake. I quit a fourteen year (heavy) tobacco addiction eight months ago without a slip. Tobacco was ten million percent more difficult to leave behind.
I don't miss tobacco a whit, but I've mentioned to my pharmacologist more than once that my cocktail of celexa, clonazepam, adderall, and wellbutrin could be augmented to perfection by occasional pot smoking. Two things though: like JohnL said, you have to have confidence in the quality and mellowness of the pot, and you have to treat it with the same respect you would any other med-including knowledge of the course of the dose (half-life), disciplined timing of the doses, etc. This is only possible if it's legalized, which it has to be because it has so much to offer, IF GOOD QUALITY IS UPHELD. Too few people treat cannabis with respect simply because it is a forbidden pleasure.
