Hello everyone, I'm a 17 year old male that has been smoking pot for almost 4 years now (started in 8th grade). I've been through hell and back in the last 4 years and I used marijuana as a crutch and most of the times it helped, at least I thought it did. I soon realized that smoking weed actually did more harm than good because it caused relationship problems with my friends and family. I'm now trying to quit for the good being of myself and to better establish a relationship with my loved ones. My main question is, when will I start to feel normal again? I haven't smoked since I was released from jail this past New Years (1 month), but day to day there are moments where I'll see and feel the effects of marijuana still. I continue to lack motivation but I can see that it has increasingly got better since I decided to quit. I also feel high when I wake up sometimes or just out the blue (its not the same high you get after smoking a bowl to yourself). I used to be an all A student in school until my cousin introduced me to pot, and then came other things and my motivation and self-esteem was shot to hell. Thanks for all your responses!View Thread
