I smoked every damn day for 12 years straight... multiple times per day. 30 days ago I quit to get clean because Im trying to get a better job. I always thought I was majorly addicted, and that Id never be able to quit, but honestly, it was easy as hell. I had a bit of trouble sleeping and had some really crazy dreams for about 2 weeks, but Ive realized, its not the same kind of addiction as nicotine, or alchohol at all. Its just more of a mental addiction. For those of you trying to quit, even for a tolorance break know this, it seems a hell of a lot harder to quit than it actually is. ITS ALL IN YOUR MIND, and after even a few days youll realize that its really not that bad. I have even had a QP sitting here at home waiting til I finish my drug test, Ive been able to look at it and smell it every day without caving in. ....of course, as soon as I get the job Ill be burinin again for sure
you're lucky man. I actually had physical symptoms, and even had them whenever I didn't smoke. Don't ask me why, I don't know. I'm weird or something. I can't get addicted to opiates or nicotine like most people who fall slaves to these chemicals. Just the way it is.
I'm proof! We all react differently to chemicals. My body became severely dependent on THC. I think all the THC has finally left my body and I feel great, as a human, once again. My mind still craves it like mad. Ever hour I think "hmmm I should smoke" but then I have to force myself not to. I'm still psychologically addicted, and probably always will be.
im not physically addicted but i'll agree quitting is hard i mean if im not around it i dont crave it but if my mates are smokin a spliff its like awwww iwant some this may be ebecause in england we roll with tobacco i dont smoke cigs but may feel dependant on weed because of the nicotine
nah, spliffs are the best. (IMO) especially with good, organic, tobacco. it's the additives in cigarettes that make them so addictive, and disgusting.
I never trust statistics, to be honest. I know others who are dependent on marijuana, but I was a fiend.
I'm not even going to argue the point of whether it's addictive or not. Why does it matter? It's just pot. It's not going to hurt you if you smoke it for 30 years. I've seen the physical proof.
I think, its just enviroment and who im hangin with. When I'm with the stoners I'll smoke a lot, when im with the people who don't smoke i dont smoke.
i dont wanna argue about this either im not saying marijuanas bad i know its good a gift from the gods but this is what i have found out on the drugs myth quiz on www.thegooddrugsguide.com incorrect Cannabis can be physically addictive. About 9-12% of smokers become properly addicted. Cannabis even has its own suite of "mild" withdrawal symptoms including: weird dreams, restlessness, irritability, mild agitation, insomnia, nausea, and cramps. Also, if you mix the weed with tobacco, you may risk being addicted to nasty nicotine. Many people keep smoking cannabis when they want to stop because spliffs are their 'metaphor' for nicotine delivery. (source Marijuana And Medicine: Assessing The Science Base 1999)
ok well i didnt read the whole thread.but we are all addicted to weed in one way or another.we all like to smoke it and we keep on smoking it.everything we do is addictive.whether it be sex,tv,internet,drugs,cars or anything that some body enjoys doing enough to keep doing it.what matter is how we all handle or addictions.one thing that sets pot heads apart from other drug addicts is that we know how to handle/feed it.you dont see weed puffers going out breaking into homes and cars to steal stuff to sell for more weed.as has been discussed before you dont see car accidents or deaths caused by weed as much as you do from alcohol.alcohol just makes people stupid,they make stupid decisions and they do stupid shit.i dont see weed doing that. when im high i dont drive!same when im drinking.when im high you will most likely find me sitting in my truck with the radio and heat going in my buddies tow yard.and thats where ill be till i come down enough to drive home wich is only about 4 or 500 yards from the towyard.so technicaly i could still drive home but i wont.if im not in the truck,youll most likely find me in the tow office giving the drivers thier stress relieving session.they love to mess with me when im high and i enjoy it as well.when they get out of the truck the last thing they wanna think about is the truck.so messing with me gets them in a good mood before they go home.thats fine with me but i may have to start charging for these therapy sessions though.weed aint cheap!LMAO!!
yup!a friend called me one day to see what i was doing.i told him i was sitting in my truck and goes "so youre puffed up and sitting in your ford?" i said yes.
