I'm addicted to 'pot'

You say your addicted to pot as if were a bad thing. But if you want to quit then do so. But, don't blame 'the pot' for ruining your life. It's not 'the pots' fault. The only one to blame is you. (No ofence)

 

What?? It doesn't even make sense metaphorically!

 

He means my post flew way over your head. You willing to apologise for your below the belt attack on a unfortunate disorder? I don't have IBS but I have shit my pants, so touche. You don't have hands means you aren't thinking.

Diabolical!

 

How can you seriously post that you're addicted to toilet paper when this guy's obviously got a problem with cannabis? Apologise? Dream on.

 

I agree that it is addicting. I think it's not only psychologically, but also physically. Not very much physically, but definitly enough to keep me on it when i don't need it. And lately i had to quit because it, and other drugs have been seriously fucking with my head. And ever since i quit i noticed how bad my friends will fiend for some goddamn weed. It's rediculious. But not only do i notice that, but how bad i use to be in the past. I thought that i was only smoking to increase creativitly, but i can tell you that i was definitly craving that body buzz. And when i didn't have weed i was really pissed and in a bad mood. Nothing would seem to interest me either. Those all seem to be obvious symptoms of withdrawal. May not be very bad, but definitly real. I'm glade i quit.

 

I fell into this just recently. Obviously it's not addictive physically but psychologically hell yea it's addictive. I was getting high when I didn't want to. I'd just smoke because I was so fucking bored out of my mind being not high I had to get high. Then I took a break for a week and got ripped today after school.

Find other things to do. Play video games, find a cool chick or some cool guys to chill with that don't smoke. Replace your ganja with a few beers every so often and I think it'll be fine.

 

fuck yeah there is

 

Well it wouldnt be a bad thing if it didnt cause me so many problems, and although i atribute these problems to my habit i am aware that i am the one who chooses to smoke it and it's in my hands and therfore i do agree that i am to blame for these problems, no offence taken.

 

you can't technically be addicted to pot, its a mind thing. keep yourself busy.

 

I imagine I would miss hygienic tissue if it were gone forever far more than the ganje. Anyone else agree? If so, then what are you really 'addicted' to in your lifestyle if it is only psychological? If it is only in your head; soap, tasty unhealthy foods, television, internet, love and affection, music, books, sunlight. I would miss all these things very much if they were no longer available (to the point where it would possible negatively affect my life) yet I do not need any of them for survival. So am I not also 'addicted' to them?

 

by that logic you cant technically be addicted to sex or gambling which are both well known addictions...

 

By your logic you can be addicted to anything and everything. Studies have shown that marijuana addiction is purely psychological, ie, it's all in your head. When i was smoking daily or near daily and i didn't get my cones i'd crave them, but there were no physical effects from my lack of weed. Sometimes i'd be in a bad mood, but i think it's safe to attribute that to not getting to sleep untill four in the morning 'cause i had no weed

 

okay, how many of you wouldn't know where to turn if all t.v. and computers suddenly dissappeared, but you've got everything else, you just have to live without a t.v. and a p.c. - - -

 

If all PCs suddenly disappeared I would be heading for the hills. Catastrophe would soon ensue. Watch out for those jumbo jets falling out of the sky. If the TVs were also gone, there would be maybe only Ham radio left to warn people about what was going on and what executive orders were to be implemented. Stay out of those FEMA camps, I hear they are pretty crowded. The only place left to turn would be…. God? At least all the credit records would be lost.

 

i think it'd encourage people to do more things with their time, but also it'd fuck with routines and methods of getting information through to people i.e. latest news reports and stuff.

 

"In psychological addition, the individual may or may not be physically addicted to a substance, but craves the “source,” which may be a substance or behavior, in order to decrease severe anxiety and stress. Psychological addiction includes sexual addiction, gambling, internet, addiction to computer games, and/or substances such as alcohol or drugs. Despite the impact on work and relationships, individuals will go to great lengths to calm the severe stress and anxiety that occurs with the absence of the substance or behavior to which they are addicted, regardless of the consequences."...

psychological addictions may not be as severe as a physical ones but they can disrupt your life none the less.....

 

I really loved the time I spent getting high. If you're ready to stop just stop. If it isn't fun any more you hit the wall and there is no more use in wasting your time and money on it if you don't enjoy it. You dig!:sunglasse

 

who say's i don't enjoy it?

 

Xac, answer me this - do you enjoy life without pot?
I didn't used to, but a month off it saw me change my mind. It's sad but if you don't then it's obvious you don't have much of one. I didnt when I smoked it all away.
The stress, the anxiety, the fucked up sleeping and eating - it all fades - those "sad depressive feelings" that a heavy pot smoker experiences upon withdrawal - it all goes.
I learnt that quitting pot has helped me to focus on my life. And when you look back, you kinda see how much time was wasted.

 

Yes i love it, i feel a much stronger passion for life when im not smoking.
