At what point would you say you have developed a phsycological addiction to marijuana? I'm in the younger years of everyone here im going to asume and i just started this year. i smoke about once a week, maybe twice on a weekend. Some people have been telling me to watch out cuz i might get addicted but im fairly sure im not. although, when i do things like come talk in forums about it or watch movies like dazed and confused i find myself really wanting a joint. any ways, im not really worried i was just wondering if anyone had any input? cool
well, i would say you're mentally addicted when you are out of pot, and you lie in bed all day because you know there's no reason for you to even get up since you don't have any pot....
when you start smoking it every day, you get into a habit. while its possible to stop.. chances are you wont want to. thats how psychological addictions work. they dont make it harder to quit, they just make it harder to want to quit. in essense its the same thing, but it makes a difference when overcoming the issue. physical addictions can bring pain, which is hard to bear, but can be shut out if you desire to stop the drug. but if you dont desire to stop the drug (because the pain is not conscious - it affects your motivations), you arent gonna. just watch out for when you find yourself wanting to smoke every day. its not gonna ruin your life, but it is going to change your lifestyle and mindset. whether that ends up being bad or good for you is indiscernable, in general you should strive to make it positive instead of let it take its own course.
when it was once a day or more. when you can spend a full day without smoking and its not because you absolutely have to stay sober i guess you are not addicted on the weekend is way ok man, its my goal with my counsellor, though very hard
I dont think that I'm addicted psychologically yet but I do know that I enjoy it to a level where I spend too much time thinking about it. I've tried convincing my parents that its impossible to get addicted to marijuana, just habitualized to it but they don't believe. I told them that it's just a habbit, so that basically means that if i wanted to become addicted to playing with teddy bears i could. And thats the thing about smoking pot its all your choice. So you just have to be strong enough to stick with your choices and you'll good to go.
I've been smokin practically everyday for a year.... and maryjane has a hold on me.. but I wouldn't use the word "addiction".
my mom doesnt know how much i smoke but from her definition im a functional addict. i have a job, go to school, have a plan/goal in my life, but if im smoking and shit in just a functional addict. i suppose thats the truth.
