I first started smoking pot around age 21. I only smoked very rarely but loved the stuff and would smoke whenever it was offered, even if only like once a month. Then I moved to Vancouver island and there was pot abound, I started smoking more, perhaps an eighth or quarter a week. For a few years more pot intake was stable until I lost my job and fell into a deep depression.

I started smoking about an 1/8th a day and spend all my life savings and employment insurance on pot. I did this for about 3 years and developed a nasty cough and chronic bronchitis.

I still haven't quit pot completely, but I need to use an inhaler daily for my asthma if I smoke pot or even vaporize, and sometimes I need to use the inhaler even if I don't smoke. If I don't quit weed I'll soon develop chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder and die young of pneumonea. It will feel like breathing through a tube and drowning on air. Pot is killing me slowly and I can't stop.

I have switched to eating and that makes things more manageable but it is very expensive eating habit to keep up, and the cookies are making me fat.
