I have a drug test coming up on thursday, i stopped smoking marijuana 7 months ago. About 3 or 4 days ago a friend of mine came over, who still smokes. He smoked a blunt, i didnt hit it. We talked, he left. Later that night i developed a killer headache & seen that there was a roach "end of the marijuana cigarette" in the ashtrey from when my friend was here. It wasnt big, I smoked it. It was only about 4 or 5 hits and then it was gone, it helped my headache. Next day my army recruiter "whom i wasnt expecting to hear from untill atleast 2 weeks" called and said i needed to come in & do some paperwork and a test. I told him what i did, it showed up on the drug test. he came over a couple days later and we did another drug test, and it was barley visible. That was yesterday, the official drug test for the army is thursday. If i go out and walk or run a couple miles today and tomorrow and burn off some fat. Do you think i will be ok? And i know i messed up, no preaching plz
Work out like crazy, drink lots of water, eat food that make you expel waste (you want anything stored in your fat cells to have as many attempts to leave your body as possible) and the day of the test *just about 5 hours before* drink a mountain dew to add color to what is usually crystal clear pee.
Cause if you pee clear, they will usually take it to a lab, or make you come back and do it again later.
And just so you know, if you didn't smoke it, just hung out in the room and maybe even got a small 2nd hand buzz it probably wouldn't have showed up on your test, but the moment you took a hit you filled your body with marijuana, your blood cells, your fat cells, everything, its the difference of being next to a fire, and being right in the middle of it.
Good Luck
How long before trying to concieve a child should I stop smoking marijuana? I only smoke occasionally, and am by no means chronic. Please do not attempt to chastise me for my use of marijuana, helpful answers only please.
I googled for it [Marijuana +pregnancy, see link below for results] and got a lot of data. while there is no general agreement, almost all sources say it's not a good idea to smoke during pregnancy and it could harm your baby.
One of the more credible sites [see link] had this to say:
"Marijuana use can reduce fertility in both men and women, making it difficult to conceive. If you are pregnant, you need to know that marijuana crosses the placenta and can affect your baby.
Marijuana use during pregnancy has been linked to low birth weight in the baby and withdrawal-like symptoms including excessive crying, tremors, hyperemesis (severe and chronic vomiting). Some studies, though not all, show that women who use marijuana even as infrequently as once a month throughout pregnancy are more likely to gain inadequate weight, to have dangerously rapid labor, prolonged or arrested labor, or a cesarean section. They are also more likely to have a baby that needs resuscitation after delivery.
Maternal marijuana use may also damage genes, possibly resulting in birth defects or cancer and lead to increased risk of attention disorders and learning problems later in life. Marijuana has also been shown to adversely affect placental function and the fetal endocrine system, potentially interfering with the successful completion of pregnancy."
As a light user,your risks are likely smaller, but I'd have to agree with the answers that say stop before you try to conceive. I'll add an interesting personal note: my mother smoked cigarettes for years, but each of the 4 times she got pregnant, she immediately stopped smoking until the baby was born and she'd finished nursing. I once asked her if it was hard to quit and she said that each time the baby was too important for her not to quit.
I’ve been smoking nearly every day for 7 years. I want to quit now but I keep failing. anyone have any advice?
I'd like to quit because I feel alienated from the people I love and even from strangers. I know everyone who knows has a negative opinion about me, I don't like that. I also miss having energy to run around and I remember feeling a lot more courage before I became a pot head. Because of me being so obsessed with weed I lost my best friend, my girl, my family.. those are just a few reasons for the person who asked.
bump? bump?
marijuana isn’t physically addictive, so you can beat this on your own. Figure out the times you smoke it, and find more positive ways to spend your time. Also, figure out the times that you most feel the need to smoke it; the deep root of the problem. perhaps you’re bored or depressed. if it’s depression, talk to your doctor.
Just stay away from “friends,” or the people you associate with that smoke it often. Just treat marijuana like going on vacation or eating a full carton of ice cream–something you might do once in a while, but not a daily or weekly thing. if you actually feel addicted, start by smoking only once a week. do that for two months (or whenever you feel comfortable), and then try for only once a month. you’ve probably completely lost the girl at this point. as for your family and possibly your best friend, you might be able to win them back. spend more time with them and prove that you only smoke recreationally and once in a while. good luck 
I am a bisexual man, I am also a marijuana user. I am in relationship with a woman and I abstain from sex with men. I have no problems with this until I stop smoking marijuana, which I am trying to give up for health reasons. I find it pretty easy to abstain as long as I smoke weed. When I try to stop smoking I have uncontrollable gay urges.
Your is the first mention of this I have ever heard.

I've been with my boyfriend for nearly 10 years, since I was 18 and he was 23. I've been reluctant to marry him for a long time because sometimes I wonder if we have all that much in common now. When we first got together I smoked pot with him all the time, everyday, because it was just what we did. We live in an area where it's very accepted and prevalent. But I've since stopped smoking pot and cigarettes and have gone back to school since having our child 2 years ago.
I realize that I knew he smoked pot when we got together, but we were young. I thought, like most people, we would grow out of that phase, but he seems to keep it as his lifestyle. He cut back a lot but still smokes often and never intends to ever stop. He doesn't smoke around our son so that's not an issue. He's a very wonderful person but I feel like he just wants to be young and immature forever. He starts to get his GED and then stops.
I'm starting to be a nag and resent him. Am I asking too much?
He does and always has had a job. He sells cars. And has been at the same dealership for the past 8 years. He has a good work-ethic and also never smokes around our son.
I guess I just wonder if the pot has stunted his maturity, is that what happens?? He started at age 13. And lately I suspect he's smoking more than he's telling me he is and is hiding it. It makes me feel like his Mom but I'm fed up. I feel like he shouldn't have such a problem giving it up. Is he just being stubborn and choosing pot over me? He says he's not addicted. I know it's not right to tell him what to do but I'm getting annoyed. I didn't think he'd be a pot-head forever! And he resents me when I call him that. He doesn't think he is a pot head.
He has told you of his decision not to stop smoking. right?
That does not mean he is not willing to stop forever.
You have made a decision in your life not to smoke anymore.
Now, as is normal, you would like if he would make similar choices. Am I correct?
We have learnt that we cannot change someone. They have to be ready for the change, then make it themselves. If we are not willing to wait for them, then we must move on.
Sometimes, the wait may seem long, but I have experienced that my patience and support has paid off in more ways than one.
I didn't nag because that doesn't help.
My friends were there to listen and not place judgment.
My husband loved me more than his habit, and made the choice to stop, cold turkey.
It took over about 15 years, but he hasn't had anything for about 3 years now. I love him more than the 1st day we met.
When you realize what it is you don't like, talk to him with love and compassion. Not with anger and resentment.
But you must first KNOW what it is that you want.
If you don't come to an agreement, then you should both agree on a separation.
Main thing is that you don't see each other as someone you want to control in your life.

i’ve been playing bass for 2 years now and i started smoking weed about a year ago. its my ambition in life to be in a famous band and make it big but weed is getting in the way of that cause i don’t have any motivation to play bass anymore or to do anything.
i want to tell my parents i’ve been smoking twice a week for the past year because i want them to ground me and get more strict on me so that i can’t do it at all. but i don’t have the courage to tell them.. What do i do?
Stop smoking.
Grow up.
If you ARE grown up, stop smoking.
Live on your own.
Play your music, get real and you won’t have to tell your mommy & daddy. The weed isn’t helping you become an adult. Only you can do that. Good luck with your music and in life.
keep waking in the night eg. firework being shot at me gonna hit me in the face. I know the people in my dreams and my location having snowball fights, playing cards. I been having about 4 dreams a night of which i can remember all in great detail .
Most weed smokers get this,,quite normal,,when you stop for a while or even one day after long periods of smoking time you will find that the suppressive nature of weed on the dream state will be lifted,,we all dream but smokers tend not to be aware of their dreams as much as non tokers,stopping smoking just allows the brain to dream more which you will tend to recall more,weird dreams are just a way of the brain reacting to not having large amounts of THC fed to it
