Default Managing your use - Do you? How? / Why Not?

I'm wondering how many people here do things like weigh up their gear determining how much you're prepared to use and what is enough for you without bringing on negative effects, or put your abundant stash away someone inconvenient so it's a hassle to get and you are only prepared to go to that length because you are really hanging out for something...or ditching use of something because you know it could be better used at another time.

Yeah who here are drug jews like that?

Back in the day, ending up with oz of fire skunk every 2 weeks (for free) and finishing it within first 10 days had me weighing out a gram bag for each day. Lowered my tolerance and made me more moneys :)

Hydrocodone, I would not even indulge unless i had potentiators and weed, otherwise it felt like a waste.
After a year or so I had my girlfriend holding most of my vicodin and fent stash so that she could help me taper down (I lacked the self control) worked great untill i found a cheap source of poppy pods... opiate freedom did not ensue :/

Well whenever I smoke weed I use a tinny, and I make the bowl about the size of a 10 cent coin (USA). I only smoke one bowl in that when I'm by myself to get high, or a couple bowls when I'm with people. That usually makes my weed last long when I only get high a couple times a day.

I used to smoke by myself everyday, the way I would manage my use is by getting all my homework and other work done for the day and start blazing around 8:30 at night at the earliest, unless I had nothing to do.

I could make an eighth of dank last me a month or more...After I finished the eighth I would take a 2-3 week break.

I wish I had that sort of self control. When it's there, I smoke it. When it's not there, I get more.

Then don't wish for the self control, force yourself to conserve it, think of some kind of self reward system for keeping your bag alive for a certain amount of time.

I gotta work on my self control. I always end up running out of my oxy script early because i have a shitty day at work or something and i end up using em to get high.

but they really do take the edge off of a shit day and make it MUCH better!
But when you run out early the back pain fucking sucks.....

Yeah, sure - With weed.

But you're talking about 'gear'?
The harder stuff, no - definately no managment there.
If I have a lot of it, I'll split it up into bags and put bags on the side, but that's about it.

get green now that i can throw .1 on my scale and then load the bong and be high for like 2-3 hours a big improvement from 15-30 mins.

smoke 2-3 bowls a day and im good all day.

so a dime is lasting almost three days which is hella nice compared to smoking reggies like a bitch. and the high is mucho better.

man if theres extra oxy layin around its gone the next day usually. like right after work its very effin temptin. but i keep myself to getting only 40-60mgs a week and usually its gone in a night. still as good as the begining almost. haha.

Don't get used to that..

i used to think i was cool for conserving dro but..

eventually it gets to the point where you need a whole bowl (maybe .4-.5 gram) just to get good..

I don't even understand why moderation would come into play if you're just smoking herb. Smoke up!

You're lucky you don't have to deal with moderation of the real stuff.

Because I like preserving my short term memory and because my budget is limited, if I wasn't going to school and still had my shit painting job I would probably smoke a lot more

I generally only buy enough for the usage that I am planning for. Apart from weed obviously - though I very rarely buy that. The only exception to this rule is acid, which I buy I buy as much as I can afford when it is around and then squirrel it away in the deep freeze until the moment calls. Oh and stuff like beer - I might buy a carton to drink during the week.

Not a fan of ganja (makes me dumb and unsocial for like days after, maybe I just have shitty weed)
Im more into heavy psychedelics, which you (quite awesomelly) develop insane tolerance to after one use, so you cant really use more than about once a week.

But I luuuv me some opiates

Which happens to be the kind of drug that requires moderation

So I limit it to once a week. Two days in a row I count as 'one' high, as Im always still high the day after, three days in a row however is not koscher.
I usually pop em friday night for some party, then if there's something going on saturday I take some more.

Otherwise I do em on thursday to make the longest shittiest day of school more enjoyable, and cause I deserve it

I am usually like that with opiates. I will secure a supply to maintain out of fear of w/d. say i get a 100mg pill of morphine. I could take the whole thing in a day and get really high but instead i will make it last 2 days or 3 days and not get as high.

Eh, some people are human enough to be susceptible to cavities and even paying for their candy because they're old enough to have to actually buy it. Lay off.

As for me, I took a 6 month break and just have a toke when offered to me on a Friday night. I see nothing in weed worth paying for. Only worth paying for watching a bunch of high morons try to freestyle in a language they don't speak very well, which I am lucky enough to see for free.

I don't smoke weed or take E or stimulants anymore, the only drugs i favor are opiates and they're hard to get your hands on here unless you have a prescription or you buy codeine and CWE it. But if i could buy oxy or hydro like americans could i'd spend about $60 a week or so.

I like my short term memory. I don't smoke at school anymore and only occasionally during the week after homework. I'm a senior and throughout high school I've learned that going to school, getting good grades, and doing homework is a fuck load easier when I'm not high. I still got decent grades when I used to smoke at school but now they are even better.

Theres no point to moderate pot use unless it's draining your funds there is very little if any bad side effects. I try to stay off other drugs during the week and just indulge on the weekend.

I think this thread was supposed to be about opiates and not pot.

And I don't know I never really got into the opiate scene but one of my friends did and yeah he keeps a little on the side in case he gets sick. I think I'd do the same (if I had the self control).

I never really do this for weed, why when I get smoked out just for driving motherfuckers around? For other drugs like lsd, I save it for a time in the moment, like a concert or rave. Opaites I will almost indefinetly take especially if I have something to do that I dont really want to do (ex work). I do find that saving your drugs for a specific time will not only make you feel less burnt but will also highten the drugs experience.

Or maybe Im just a drug jew....

Default Re: Managing your use - Do you? How? / Why Not?

I try and manage it somewhat, and I've tried strict or loose managing, some strategies work better than others. For example, i used to try not to smoke during the week (except fridays), but then i got a second job and a lot more free time once I hit grade 12, so that rule went out the window. Now I'm comfortable with the fact that I get stoned daily, but I limit myself to once a day during the schoolweek, then as much as I feel like on the weekend.
