Marijuana is not physically addicting, no matter what way you ingest it bong or not. But it is possiable to develop a mental addiction in the same way someone could become addicted to jogging. Health class will not give you the real info about any drugs, go to www.erowid.org for the real info.

[Graham]

Ok cheers mate.

[Shamrock]

Hey, ive had the chanse to have it loads of time, but school told us it was highly addictive and led you on to harder drugs etc. etc. bla bla bla so ive always declined. But my mate said its not addictive if you take it in a bong. can anybody comment?
nah, you're mom's waaaay more addictive.

it's another way to consume...

it's...more direct:rolleyes:

i don't like it because it doesn't give me that feeling of doing something relaxing...bong is just the "most" efficient way to consume anything smokeable.

but, in the end it doesn't matter how you consume marihuana or...it's going to kill you anyways! ;)
no, it's not addictive (chocolate is WAY more addictive than marihuana!) and it doesn't harm you EXEPT: - the smoke is bad for your lungs (like smoking in general)

-if you are in a mental mess or psychologically labile it _can_ cause depression and stuff...but that's just the same as alcohol, so never mind at all ;)

if you want to try it, don't be afraid...but if you don't want to...´perhaps try it once :D

whatever...it's not addictive.

[bertrose]

Its definately NOT physically addictive. ITs really psychologically Addicting and i'll tell you a story why:

First of all, I was at my girlfriends house smoking some weed that i had brought over. It was the strongest weed my girlfriend did...I was used to it having been smoking it for a long time. Anyway, this was my third time smoking. I was at the peak of my high, where u just lay down and u don't know if ur tired or not and u forget where u are and don't feel at all like talking. And I started pondering, this was a very unpleasant high. I had this happen the first 2 times i was smoking too. So, I think it has ALOT to do on the weed I was smoking. Anyway, I thought to myself..."Dude, this doesn't feel good, why do i get high? I get high and i don't like it, then when im sober i wanna get high again, this must be more addictive than people really think it is"...Thats all i felt for the first 20 minutes of my peak...Then i started to get used to the high and started coming down. Me and my girlfriend started breaking out, got mellow and we started talking again which was way cool.

It was one of the best highs...I think if u think that its addicting, try it anyway, because its not http://erowid.org will explain to u all u need to know.
Secondly, Don't do it alone like i did...Having smoked some pretty STRONG stuff, it was ALMOST too intense for me. And thirdly, If u DON"T like it, i would recommend you do it atleast 2 more times because, every time is DIFFERENT. The more used to the high you get, the more u'll like it..

peace

[Velouria]

Dude...don't rely on your health class for drug info. That's the best advice I can ever give you.

[Peace]

yeah, the same thing that happened to bert kinda happened to me. i realized that when im not high i like the "idea" of getting high but when im high its not always so pleasent.

[bertrose]

sweet! atleast its not just me! haha


peace

[twstd_munky]

no that happens to me too dude i think its gotta do w/ what i smoke when i get from this one dude i tend to get sick cause its usually pretty bad stuff but when i dont get from him its usually a great experience i also get really sick from bluberry

I disagree, my vote goes for a vaporizer. I'm telling you, I stand behind mine 110%, I love it.

[Graham]

kkk

[Alomiakoda]

The only person I know who was addicted to marijuana turned out to be addicted to the nicotine he was mixing it with :P

[AoXoMoXoA420]

I've found the stuff rather addictive...

just no physical withdrawal. it's fucking hard to quit toking though

[Koko4]

It's not physically addicting. You can have a mental addiction (like me) but I can control mine..

I always find myself wanting to smoke SOMETHING. Not to get high or get a buzz..just to .. smoke.

[#fRaG!Le.prometheus]

well, yes, but a bong costs about 40 euro (=40 $) and a good vaporizer is about 300-500 euro ...and he doesn't even know if he likes it...

in addition to that, a vaporizer can only be used with certain sunstances, a bong can also be used to smoke crystal and stuff...although i wouldn't du that ;)

[bertrose]

Same here, i think smoking is addictive not what u smoke...

One time a rolled some green tea straight from the tea bag into a joint and smoked it...i didn't even care if i get high , its just so fun to smoke.

Na, I got my vaporizer (Vapor Brothers) for $140 USD. I agree that they're slightly more expensive than a good glass bong, but nothing compares with a vaporizer.

Wether something is physically or mentally addictive it's still addictive. I have a lot of friends who do their best to quit pot, but find it almost impossbile to do so.
Plus, marijuana can have some awfull side effects trust me, I have endured 2 months of hell with panic attacks, anxiety, depression and had to be put on anti-depressants. Yes, the effects wear of as the pot works its way of out of your system (but if your addicted your just putting more weed in there) but it's been enough to make me too scared to touch pot (or any drug for that matter) EVER again.
I advise you to stay clear of the stuff. Yes, some people can smoke pot daily for years and be fine, but if you are young, it's more likely to fuck you up in the way it did to me.

[Jennifer19]

I have a friend who has a mental addiction with pot. she always has to have it. and if she dose not have it she gets sad and gets thoughts of killing herself. and will do any other drug that is around. I feel bad for her. I am not like that. I have not smoked in over 2 weeks. I wish I had not lost my hook up's. but I am doing fine. Its not bothering me at all. sure I wish I could smoke some pot. But I know I can't and there is no reason for getting all upset.

Dude...don't rely on your health class for drug info. That's the best advice I can ever give you.
i understand where your coming from but a better piece of advicse would be "dont listen to your health class info on drugs"
if you tune out the class entirely then watch me laugh when you catch an STD.

my health class was so fun tho, about 9 of my friends were in there with me and so the teacher never taught anything except the dangers of marijuana and cigarettes lol

[NEMISIS]

Some people could become reliant on it, I did when I first
started out, but over the years I now control it as opposed
to it controlling me. No problems.

I don't mean to be an asshole, But you were most likely fucked before you smoked pot anyways.

"but if you are young, it's more likely to fuck you up in the way it did to me."


What the fuck are you talking about, if most of the young people thta smoked pot fucked themselves up like you did, no one would smoke it. It would become like crack and heroin are, the drugs that everbody fears(except for a few dumbasses) pot wouldn't be as popular and widespread as it is in youth today.

[Jointman69]

mack jagger is so hi-

[seamonster66]

personality=addictive

[StonerBill]

if you cant go for a week without eating a type of food then your fuckin obese

When a user is addicted to heroin perhaps, they may WANT to quit, but there are physical pains and even dangers of withdrawal off heroin.

when a user is addicted to weed, they may be physically able to quit, but they simply wont because they dont want to.

weed IS ADDICTIVE. you people are naive and just as ignorant as the kids who believe DARE. It doesnt matter if its physical or mental, its still an addiction. However, it only happens to people who like smoking. if you dont like smoking, you will NOT get addicted, unlike cigarettes, where you can get addicted simply by being pressured into smoking all day or at social functions.

withdrawal from weed when addicted however, is purely psychological. if you think suicidal thoughts, then it is you being a 'pussy', quite frankly. its not the drugs fault, its your fault for getting to attatched to weed. see when you quit, your mind stops getting a lot of the thigns that make is happy : interest, pleasure, entertainment. your mind jsut doesnt really get these thigns. so your left feeling plain, not down, and then your mind gets sad because it doesnt like the plainess. If you have a strong will, its easy to abstain from marijuana. most can. I cant. many in this thread probably cant too.

most withdrawal symptoms however go away when yopur mind gets attuned to the reality - that life really is dull, compared to stoned life at least, and so it gets back to normal, and in fact many people jsut forget about weed after they quit for a while, and then they start actualyl feeling better, and feel like they dont need or want weed after that.

often, insomnia is enough to make anyone fail an attempt to quit weed.

see, the problem of most withdrawals is that the user tries to recreate somehow their previous feelings of passion and such, and, especially (maybe primarily) with teenagers, this just leads to angst, for it is the easiest form of passion one can muster.

however, there is one sure way to get over a weed addiction. It always works. Ive never known it to not work. Somehow, you need to be denied weed. whether its by not getting enough money together, dealer going to jail, these thigns work. if you really wanted to quit, youd have to jsut start spending your money or putting it in a bank account that you cant withdraw for. that has double benefit. IF you find yourself stealing from peoples houses to get money for weed then you are just retarded and should be depressed because your a fuckhead. but most people dont get that sort of feeling like crack users do.

A physical addict NEEDS his drug, and get sick and feel pain when they cant
a psychological addict WANTS his drug so much that he just wants to do it all the time, and then gets frustrated when they cant

but whats the problem with a weed addiction anyway? hehe weeds awesome

;)

[StonerBill]

as forest pixie said, it really only affects addictive personalities

[StonerBill]

i hope your not making out that addictive personalities are retarded. it has nothing to do with anything except how much you are interested in certain things. its not even a case of rationality or irrationality.

[StonerBill]

i see

[ElChivato]

lol. yeah, don't listen to none of the shit you're told at school.
