is weed addictive?!?!?

weed is not physically addicting, and neither is tobacco, its the nicotine that makes cigarettes addicting. But you can become mentally dependent on it and if you go too far, trying to quit will trigger withdrawl symtoms which is no fun. And doctors say that weed is worse for your body than cigarettes, but don't listen to them. What they say is true, weed does contain more harmful chemicals in it than tobacco, but people smoke weed to get high, and once you're high you dont need to keep smoking and smoking... but you get hooked on cigs and you end up smoking alot more of them, therefore even though cigs have a little less bad stuff in them, they hurt you 100x more.

 

Depends on the person but hell yes it can be addictive. I'm addicted to it I crave it a lot and I had an easier time quitting pills than weed

 

i had to quite after 2 years on dank blunts daily. the first week was sleepless and paranoia was kinda bad, then depression, then back to normal a month or 2 later.

im also facing alot of shit tho with court, might be the cause for the paranoia and depression

^check it out, has some good info.

 

is not because you 'need' it but is because you 'want' it. You enjoy the feeling you get from it from it, and that is where the fight is at!

 

Marijuana IS addictive, this is how.
If you're high all the time then everything is amazing, everything is a million times better than they are when you're not high. When you're high all the time then everything is amazing all the time and then reality starts to lose it's own lust so you need more and more weed just so that everything in life doesn't lose its lust. Ya dig?
However, marijuana is a psychedelic and I believe that they are very very good for you. You just need to use them in moderation. Psychedelics need to be utilized not abused.

 

Yeah it can be, I didn't think so when I first started smoking but at this point I think its safe to say I'ma refer addict.

 

Like many other said, I find weed to be emotionally addicting. If I smoke daily for a month or so, then for whatever reason stop, I definitely feel... frustrated that I'm unable to smoke.

 

I voted no but since then I have started smoking all the time so I guess it is addictive. I always tell myself that there isn't anything that can't be improved if done high. So it is not physically addictive, just psychologically addictive.

I can give up now, cold turkey, but then everything would seem dull and boring for a while. And to be honest, I would probably crave it. Especially since I don't drink or smoke cigs nor have I even tried any other sort of drug besides MJ.

I live in Australia and want to move into careers such as mining or train driver but those occupations require random urine testing. At the moment I am about to start a full time help desk job during the graveyard shift. I tell myself I will do this job until I finish my stash (if I ration it, could last 9 months - 1 year) but I can see myself just getting more weed after I run out.

So I put my wacky train driver or miner ideas on hold while I cruise along and get high all the time. I guess I can work on getting some tickets/certificates while I cruise along in this job so I can make a quick transition.

Either way, I am high right now so all is well
