sidenote: utahns consume more prozac than anyone else
in the country, a state where alcohol is frowned upon

caught having sex in church...
Hmmmmm....
Having sex in a church sounds kind of fun!
Would it have to be missionary position???
RE:
I used pot for 12 years fro this reason but I can
assure it DOES have side effects and quite unpleasant
ones too. It IS addictive, and has physical
consequences. It DOES have a PHYSICAL withdrawal
effect: high anxiety, sweats, sleeplessness, muscle
pain, stomach cramps, cold sweats and flushes,
impotence.
Wow! That's the first I've ever heard of physical
withdrawl symptome from marijuana. I stopped smoking a
few years ago, and had no symptoms whatsoever, I just
stopped, and was fine.
I wasn't a realy heavy smoker, however. About three
times a week was the most I ever got high.
Guess the time was right to stop. I was trying to get
serious about going to graduate school, and wasn't too
motivated when I was smoking. Nights lying on the
floor channel surfing while listening to Hendrix thru
headphones becomes just another waste of time after a
while.
I was also in a new relationship (now a longish
relationship-going on 8 years) and my partner doesn't
smoke. I wanted to be able to share life with him.
And, pot really screwed up my sinuses and allergies,
which are screwed up enough w/o inhaling smoke.
For relaxation, I'd have to go with meditation. I
don't do it much anymore (should start up again) but
at one point about 10 years ago I was meditating for
about 1/2 hour daily. After a couple weeks, daily
living seemed somehow more meaningful, and thoughts
and senses were in sharper focus. The pace of my life
didn't really change, but my perception of it did.
Everything seemed more deliberate, and purposeful,
even laying around watching tv.
Or try yoga. Many towns have adult ed. yoga classes,
and they are really relaxing and fun. Interesting,
creative types tend to gravitate towads yoga classes,
too, so they can be good for the social life.
