Yes actually.. the ritual is important. When I quit smoking for 7 years breaking those rituals was the hardest part.
Coffee in the morning = cigarettes.
Red light while driving= cigarette lighting.

So it is a combination of habit and ritual that has been ingrained.

Since I've been forced to quit smoking pot (sob, sniffle, whine, pout, another sniffle) I've unfortunately increased my tobacco intake twofold. I much prefer those weed bound rituals!

Camille,if I might be so bold...who had the temerity to force you to quit smoking pot....this would be a hard limit for me....

Bah. Bah. Grrr. And assorted foul curse words. Twas the cruel medical community in Texas that forced me into leaving my happy hippy sweet little pothead world. Apparently they won't treat me for my auto immune problems if I test for THC, and they urine test me monthly. Which I find to be invasive and insulting. Dammit.

Smoking pot was one of my best tools for pain relief, but they don't give a damn. I have a couple of ounces shrink wrapped and just sitting in my freezer, every time I get ice from there I whimper lol.

That is truly a shame...on the other hand I do "no strings" freezer clean up....all I ask for in return is maybe some cookies...or brownies,really anything to "munch" on will do.

Oh god fine. I admit it. I smoked. Last Saturday. And um, Sunday.. and Monday.

Hopefully my system will clear in 3 weeks and the 2 drops of Visine in the pee pee sample will work. Along with the copious amounts of water I've been chugging. Along with the green tea. Along with the dandelion tea (that is some harsh stuff lemme tellya).

I went 67 very long days and nights but it was just calling me from the freezer at every turn! I swear it wasn't my fault...and honestly I consumed less than a doobie during my 3 days o' happiness. A lot less. I'm a one hit wonder even after all my years of inhaling lol. I get tested when I get my prescriptions refilled so I figure that I get 1 day out of the month to get slightly buzzed, then the rest of the month I clear my system. I really meant to only smoke on Saturday but the bowl was still filled... so I finished it off over the course of 3 days.

Good lord. I adore everything about pot. The scent.. oh gosh yes. The scent of good hydro filling the air makes me want to drool. The taste oh yum yum yum. Finally that wonderous sensation of ahhhhhhhhh the muscles relaxing and the pain ebbing for a small time.

Ironically there are so many new studies out showing that smoking pot has a lot of benefits for auto immune pain, but Texas is beyond rigid about it. More ironically I just moved out of Michigan right before they passed their medicinal marijuana law.

Now I live in Austin with hippies on every freaking corner!

Pardon me while I go sob in the corner again......

This is invasive, and completely outrageous - I'm sorry about that, Camille.

Being serious for a moment...camille there are many products available on line that mask thc in one's urine.
Urine Luck being just one of them...most offer money back guarantee'...unfortunately only for the price of purchase,not for the loss a positive test might cause someone....good luck .
