Caporal-
I used to smoke weed pretty much daily for 5 years. I did a "soft" quit when I started grad school (smoked a handful of times in 6 months), then quit for good last fall. I havent looked back since. Weed used to be a big part of my life, like I didnt feel the day was complete unless I wove getting high into there somehow. But I look at it as a closed book now....I had a lot of fun, but i've been there, done that, wrote the book and got the t-shirt, lol.
I have moments when I miss it, but honestly I know my mind and career are better off without it. It makes you slow and dumb, dont kid yourself. It just happens subtly so you dont realize it. Remove yourself from it. Dont hang out with people getting high, dont have any pipes, bongs, or weed in your house. If you do have it near and accessible you'll never stop, it's too tempting.
I also can get drug tested at any time, so I have double reason not to go near it. BUT--even if I wasnt drug-tested, I wouldnt bother. I need to be sharp and clear and not do any further damage to my memory.
