Trying to Find a Compelling Reason to Quit Smoking Weed...

The primary reason to stop is long term health, namely, that smoking anything is bad for you and living to say 80 versus 75 with a few more years of active mobility would be good.

But that's really abstract! And the world is really uncertain, who knows where I'll be, or even how the world will look like in 30-40 years, with the current terminal decline of western civilization.

So it's difficult to convince myself to stop.

There's identity, I'd like to think of myself as a disciplined hard-working person rather than a pothead, but the pull of that quickly dissipates.

Then every other problem I can consider I am not certain it's a problem...

Mental health?

Actually I seem to get less agitated and prone to anger, and broadly less wound up and uptight when I smoke regularly, for whatever reason

Productivity?

Unclear...it also helps me "tolerate" errands more, and gives me a second wind in the evening to get more done

So I don't know. I keep trying to quit and relapsing and it seems there is a lack of appropriate motivation for being so forward thinking.

Thoughts and suggestions?
