Weed & NoFap

I think that if you don't need weed, it's better. Also think if it helps you avoid PMO, that is good. Use it wisely.

 

For me personally my last three relapses (spread out over afew months) have all been while high. for a long time weed served me in connecting to that deeper place when combined with breath work and meditation but more recently if I get high out of an impulse or spontaneously with not a clear intention things can go in a different direction. I like to think of the plant as a trickster so though weed has helped me gain many different perspectives about life and just about myself -For me though I found it useful to go a longer period without smoking until a decent steak is laid out. and when I do smoke again I think I will follow Terence Mckenna's advice to sit in the dark in silence and smoke as much as I can and use it to go inwards

 

PMO + Weed has been a crazy, insidious combination for me. As someone who got addicted to PMO first and weed later, they both started feeding off of each other very soon. I would advise you to keep both apart (and of course, quit them altogether if you can!), lest you fall into a deep pit which is difficult to come out of. Good luck!

 

I've tried using weed to help stay away from porn but I don't know... it didn't really do anything at all as far as that goes. I still had urges, I just felt high on top of it.

If you're using weed as an escape, I don't think that's really going to turn out good for you in the long run. At that point, it seems to me like you would just be swapping one out for the other rather than actually dealing with the underlying problems.

As far as I'm concerned, 'PMO' as they call it around here is a coping mechanism. It's caused by something underlying that you're trying to avoid, and NoFap is about breaking out of the cycle and getting to the root of the problem.

So I guess what I'm getting at is-- if the weed helps you stay away from porn, go for it. But don't let it become its own problem.

That's just my two cents.

 

Weed used recreationally is a net negative on one's life. But, I'm oldschool. Fill your time with productive and meaningful activities rather than hedonistic ones.

 

Weed used to make me horny, so it's a no for me. Been clean off the stuff for almost a year now. It's no good for you.
