i hate/love my weed addiction

nah cause anything that makes you physically withdrawl you can beat, but mentally it's always there, there are some things that will never go away in your mind, drugs is one of them, you might not do it anymore, but it's always in the back of your mind. Especially smoking, not weed but cigarettes, cause there's always somebody smoking within sight.

 

I think you can get addicted to anything that cause pleasure of some kinds.

ex. I eat some really really good cake or cookies, for the moment im full but then ill start thinking about it, like oh i wanna eat that again.

same with weed, you smoke some bud and get high enjoy it, then you come d own and for a while its like hum that was fun, then you think about how fun it would be to smoke some more weed and experience it again, so you smoke, and on down the line.

like someone else has said same with food, drinks, alcohol,drugs, weed, anything that cause pleasure is possible to get addicted to, maybe not psychailly like alcohol or hard drugs but you still have that craving to ge high again.

cause you enjoy it.

it all about moderation and controlling yourself like someone else also said, imo.

id honestly much rather smoke some good bud every once in awhile and get really high, and come down and not worry about oh man the weeds gone cant do it again, and then be bummed cause no weed.

but realistically if i had the money id probably be smoking daily.

thats just me though.

 

:cheers2:

yeah i smoke cigarettes myself, and i think of quitting seriously and how much healthier id be now and how much longer id live.

but then you think oh damn how much would i enjoy a cig right now, and then the nicotine withdrawal makes you irritable as hell.

physical is mainly, but then i admit i do enjoy a smoke.

and someone is always in sight with a cig, and your like man i want a cigarette id enjoy that so much.

 

quitting smoking sucks, because you will always want cigarettes, but you do feel alot healthier

 

hey RR, have you ever faced a bad physical and mental addiction at the same time?
the physical addiction is way more unpleasant and feels like hell,
but at least in my personal experience (especially in opiates) most relapse happens after your 8 days of W/D,
its caused by your dreaming of that warm feeling, just wanting it, needing it,
while its not as unpleasant, the mental part is wayyyyy harder to get over

 

I used to smoke cigs and damn the withdrawal is irritating.
With weed I can smoke and stop whenever I feel without any withdrawal, but I like smoking weed to relax after work.
It's not like I need to.

 

i stopped smoking cigs from 9+ years of 1+ pack a day. i felt the psychical wd and the mental one, anyway it was a bitch.

 

I just like getting high without getting withdrawal symptoms which is why i love weed
:]

 

Hey man, let me give you some advice. I used to smoke 3-4 times a day for 6 monthes and by the end of the my smoking binge I honestly felt the worst. I barrely ever got high, I was the most unhappy when I wasnt High, i basically turned into a zombie. Some people might say "its not the drug, its the individual" but thats obviously bullshit. That might be right to some extent but weed DOES have an effect on your brain that CAN be addicting. To make a long story short I got dependent on it and I was completely anti social accept for with my roomates, I eventually quit COLD turkey for 3-4 monthes just because I felt like my long binge hasent done me good. My brain felt 10000 times better after I quit, and then when i smoked i got 10000 more high and enjoyed it more. The lesson is, Use it dont abuse it. Take breaks (meaning make sure your happy when your not high, and you can perfectly enjoy your day WITHOUT weed before you get high again...I smoke about twice a week like this and its great), WEED is all about having fun and relaxing, its not worth it if you are not longer having fun with it, or you depend on it for your day to b "normal".


Hope this helps.
P.s. - I havent smoked for about 8 days and im going to blaze an L in the forest, i cant wait.
Good luck buddy,
Peace.

 

Its all about Training yourself, and MIND CONTROL.

 

gotta have miiiind controllll! athf anybody?

 

If this is true....marry me?

I've been addicted to nicotine and opiates and gone through the withdrawal of both.

Weed is still the hardest thing for me to give up for good. I haven't had a good sleep in days, no appetite, and my head feels like it's going to explode. I don't want to smoke. Inconsistent connections bring me so much frustration it's not even worth it anymore. But I still find myself going back again and again because the physical symptoms from not having it are too hard for me to deal with and still function normally.

So what..do I tell my mind not to let my head hurt even though marijuana was the only thing that's ever helped my headaches. Do I tell my mind to put my body to sleep at night even though marijuana has been the only thing to help my insomnia since I was born? Do I tell my mind to make me keep the food down after meals, when marijuana is the only thing that helps the nausea?

 

I'm def with you on that one. The point I was getting at is once you've felt a physical addiction to something, you'll realize that it's a different feeling. I usually smoke 2 to 4 cigs on weekdays, and sometimes more (or less) on weekends. I'd say that puts me right on the verge of addiction. I'm very careful about how many cigs I smoke just because it's easy to turn 3 a day into 6 a day, then into 10 a day and so on and so fourth. Back to the point.. Whenever there comes a time where I need to stop smoking cigarettes for a couple of days, I feel a much different kind of nagging in the back of my head then when I stop smoking weed for a couple of days.

 

Yeah I agree totally with all the people here talking about moderation.

Since 11th grade- so, the past three years almost- I've smoked daily.
At first, it wasn't as much a habit and pattern in my days.
But by this past fall, it definitley had, in fact, by my senior year it had. I've realized the impact it's had on me and I've cut down to mostly weekends, and during the week, only at night after all of my work (there are exceptions of course, but I like to use the excuse that I'm at a college where literally EVERYONE smokes, which is pretty much true)....Last fall, it got to the point where I realized that if I didn't smoke, I had a hard time starting anything, be it homework, painting, anything! And I also realized the compulsive ways I smoked- sometimes two joints within an hour- not too crazy,but when that happens every single day, it is. To be honest, my financial situation has forced me to cut down, but I've also really enjoyed cutting down. The first week was weird, but now its so much better having it less often, and feeling it much more!

So yeah, moderate!

 

lol i'm sorry i'm taken....

i've had 3-4 days periods with no weed and the feeling of necessity of something that get me out of that 'bored' state lasted 2 days. after day 3, the fact that i just can't get anymore makes me forget about it...

for me it's a practice. if you find yourself anxious or cranky or in any way unstable, that means you are not taking the herb like it is, instead you are taking it for candy.

 

i love weed.

 

were you by any chance high when you said that?

 

I agree with what he said.
It is psychological=physical addiction.
Addiction is an addiction. Obviously a physical addiction to stimulants, opiates, etc... would be 10x worse psychologically than physically.

But they're the same in a sense that they both make you crave it, they both make you depend on the drug.

I dont think one addiction can Completely exist without the other. I just think one type of addiction is more dominant than the other. For example with weed I was psychologically addicted but i was also physically addicted, but my psychological addiction was more dominant.

Being addicted and trying to quit sucks. ill just leave it at that, but ITS WORTH IT. and moderating is also WORTH IT. dont let it control you.

 

the line between physical addiction and mental addiction is not as clear cut as one would think

mind influences body

body influences mind

when one is hooked, the other is also, through the nature of things, hooked.

 

Yeah, i'm addicted to tons of stuff like breathing, water and food. I also have this compulsion of having to visit this room in my house, where I sit on this white chair and .... well I don't need to get into that. Smoking weed is something that I enjoy and have not tired of it so I continue to do it. When I am tired of doing it or it's not important to me then that is what will happen.
