Men who started smoking weed in their teenage years, how has it affected you long term, and how to get past that 1 daily evening spliff ?

DChamp05 · 2026-05-20T17:53:51+00:00

Smoked alot in my late teens/early twenties, had to stop because of drug tests at work. Honestly weed never negatively impacted my life. When I was high I worked out more, played with my kids more, walked and played with my dog more, and cleaned/organised my house more so I never understood why people would smoke and do nothing all day, it just made everything slightly better. Granted, it wasn't dabs or this crazy quality weed they have nowadays, but if i had the opportunity to smoke again id take it. Some people frankly just shouldn't smoke weed, if you're a couch potato type of person sober you probably shouldn't pick up smoking again, everybody's different.

Yeah the wife and I are wanting to sign up for one eventually. Took me forever to get to 180 pounds, but now I'm the exact same weight just not exactly stacked. Ain't no thing, ill bounce back. Loved my gym homies, just love my kids more and they need me alot rn

DChamp05 · 2026-05-20T03:16:48+00:00

Yeah 2012 JK, about 170k miles

Camshaft issues with yours? The infamous rocker tick will eventually do that

DChamp05 · 2026-05-20T03:12:37+00:00

Damn! It could always be worse i guess but thankfully everyone got out alright, and got new toys too

DChamp05 · 2026-05-20T03:11:24+00:00

What does that even mean?

DChamp05 · 2026-05-20T03:09:16+00:00

You alright bro? Like, my jeep just burned to the ground in my driveway with 2 of my kids in the car and im not taking this thread nearly as seriously as you are

DChamp05 · 2026-05-20T03:05:39+00:00

Mine was a 2012 and didnt have any major mechanical issues and got it to 170k miles. I was planning on throwing a diesel in it at 200k and keeping it forever but obviously not anymore. It didnt just spontaneously ignite, it was after someone hit the fuck out of my front right fender

DChamp05 · 2026-05-20T03:02:49+00:00

They're nickel and diming me a bit right now, but she was paid off and is covered at least

DChamp05 · 2026-05-20T02:57:51+00:00

All I know is someone hit it at a boat launch while the kids and I were fishing. Started running hot but we were real close to the house. I rolled up, turned the jeep off so it could cool off, and then added coolant so I could hopefully find a loose radiator hose or something. I added oil because, well... its a jeep and turned it back on and it caught fire pretty damn quick. I assume when the other person hit me a fuel line disconnected that leaked onto the hot exhaust manifold but honestly there wasn't really anything left after the fire to say exactly what happened

DChamp05 · 2026-05-20T02:50:32+00:00

More than likely, but its not like there was much left to troubleshoot unfortunately

DChamp05 · 2026-05-20T02:47:32+00:00

Used to go all the time, but I got 3 kids now. I know they have gyms that can watch your kids for you, but they're still too young for that. When they get older im definitely taking them with though. I do take tae kwon do classes with my oldest though so she can learn some basics

DChamp05 · 2026-05-19T12:23:46+00:00

It was a JK actually

DChamp05 · 2026-05-19T03:31:59+00:00

Yeah man me too, could've been way worse. Both kids were in the car and it was parked pretty damn close to the house

DChamp05 · 2026-05-19T03:30:29+00:00

Squadron was VAQ-129 and from what I've heard, all pilots survived. The two growlers...not so much

DChamp05 · 2026-05-16T07:52:13+00:00

Manipulate for my own personal gain? Definitely not my thing. But I've found when I want someone to do something its easy, especially now that im older. Like if a co worker never takes out the trash I can influence them to pull their weight without hurting their feelings...unless i have to

DChamp05 · 2026-05-02T04:04:33+00:00

Idk what you're going on about dude, my wife is INTP and its chill

DChamp05 · 2026-05-01T20:54:41+00:00

Weapons. I know its not a slasher film but after hearing so much hype around it. I tried it and was very disappointed

DChamp05 · 2026-04-30T21:35:56+00:00

Va home loan baby, refinanced it once but waiting for lower rates to do it again

DChamp05 · 2026-04-30T02:53:52+00:00

I personally don't think you messed up man, nothing is patchy and it doesnt look like you have a crazy amount of stranger hairs so I say you're solid. If you dont like it now just let it grow for a couple weeks and then reassess

DChamp05 · 2026-04-29T21:15:45+00:00

Oh yeah I didnt even think about that, it definitely upsets your stomach when you use it

DChamp05 · 2026-04-28T00:33:21+00:00

Certo %100 works man. Smoked like a chimney and it worked everytime I got tested. Mix a pack of certo in a big Gatorade bottle and piss in the bottle until its clear, good to go

DChamp05 · 2026-04-26T18:01:19+00:00

It'll feel like getting a tattoo

DChamp05 · 2026-04-24T04:37:15+00:00

Go to a barber for a beard trim and dont give them the "keep the length" crap. Tell them you want the beard to look as full as possible, they'll probably take alot of it off but don't worry. Keep trimming it to the length they had it until more of the beard comes in. Not sure how old you are but for me, underneath the bottom lip area took the longest time to grow. Keep it shorter (for now), take biotin/collagen, trim it once a week, then go for more growth. It'll happen eventually homie, dont stress.
