| What was it that made you first smoke weed? Can | | | | Once I started to befriend people that didn't smoke |
| you use the same method to quit smoking weed? | | | | weed and people that had quit smoking weed I soon |
| Think back to when you smoked your first joint, what | | | | realized that non-smokers seem to have more fun, |
| made you do it? I bet the majority of you reading this | | | | more money, more of everything that was good. They |
| article have the same answer, your friends or your | | | | helped me change what I considered to be a normal |
| peer group. | | | | way to live and living normally to my new peer group |
| What is Your Peer Group? | | | | had NOTHING to do with weed. |
| The people you spend time with are considered your | | | | The people around you are influencing you whether |
| peer group. Your peer group is very important | | | | you realize it or not, so if that's the case then wouldn't |
| because your life will usually be very similar to the five | | | | it be great to be around people that have already |
| people closest to you. Think about that for a second, | | | | achieved what you want to do? If you are around |
| who do you spend time with and what are their lives | | | | people that smoke weed whilst at work then chances |
| like compared to mine? | | | | are that you will also smoke whilst your at work but if |
| A good question to ask yourself is 'who am I spending | | | | your with non-smokers it is unlikely that you will decide |
| time with and what are they doing to me?' How are | | | | to have a joint. |
| they influencing me? When I stopped smoking I began | | | | The people in your life are important and I'm not telling |
| to hang around with non smokers, before I quit | | | | you to go and change your friends. However I am |
| smoking weed I thought that non-smokers were boring | | | | saying that is what I did and it helped me become who |
| and geeky. When I started hanging around with | | | | I am today. I get to help other people have the same |
| non-smokers they thought that weed users were not | | | | freedom I now enjoy and I have friends that support |
| trust worthy, stupid and lazy. I disagree with both sides, | | | | me no matter what I want to do. My life has changed |
| though there are some people in both groups who fit | | | | dramatically because I quit smoking weed and I |
| that description that is not to say by any means that | | | | KNOW that everyone experiencing difficulty quitting |
| many are like that. It was interesting however to see | | | | weed will feel so much happier when they quit, they |
| how one side thought of the other side. The smokers | | | | will be kicking themselves because they didn't quit |
| didn't want to be like the non-smokers and the | | | | sooner! |
| non-smokers didn't want to be like the smokers. | | | | |
