can you be mentally addicted to it?

i haven't smoked in like.. 2 or three weeks and i can't smoke again until august cuz i'm having some kind of surgery in my lungs on july 20

and i want too really bad and i don't know why cuz i hate the way it makes my body feel (like the rapid heart beat and shit like that) but my mind really wants me too


i'm like mentally addicted to it

 

Pot is mentally addictive so you could be, since your craving it.
anyway I'd wait untill your done with your surgery before you smoke again. You could try eating it meanwhile. It's a greate high aswell
oh and by the way good luck with your sugery.
mmhh....."Lung surgery" doesnt sound too good... hope it's nothing to worry about

 

i ate it once and it didn't do anything, but i like ate it right out of the baggie cuz someone was comming and i didn't have time to hide it & it didn't really effect me

plus idk how to make anything with it.. and idk what the effects of me eating it are

 

I heared thc needs to be cooked with either fat or oil in order to be activated so I am not sure eating raw pot works.

Why not try leary biscuits? they are easy and quick to prepare.
Since I tried them about 2-3 weeks ago I've been very much into eating instead of smoking, the high lasts longer and its more intense. so now I am usueally eating once a day instead of smoking 2-3 times through the day. I tend to enjoy the high much more closer to what I immagine tripping would be ( since I've never actually tripped).

so yeah try leary biscuits they worked for me keep in my mind that I used hash insted of pot. It should work with pot anyway since the original reciepe found on erowid and wikipedia says to use pot. good luck.

 

Yes, you can become mentally addicted to anything. But instead of giving in to it, I'd suggest waiting until all the cravings go away before trying to eat it. And no, eating raw pot doesn't work. Kar33m is right, it needs to be cooked with fat or oil. I too hope your surgery goes well and nothing is too serious.

 

its nothing extremely serious

cuz theres something wrong with my throat and lungs and my adenoids swell and my lungs close up, and at first they thought i had a virus or mono or strep, but they did all those tests and i don't

so they're gonna go down my throat or up ny nose and down my throat? idk how they're gonna do it but they need to like flush my lungs and do a biopsy andstuff to see if i have fatty acids in my lungs (cuz your lungs aren't suppossed to have fat in them) and if i do then it means that something in my stomach is malfunctioning and letting the acids up my throat and i'm breathing them in.

and thanks =]

 

yeah... you need something with fat or sugar.. the THC binds to the fat cells or sugar cells. or something like that. i dont even know what this thread is about but i make some sweet ganja brownies!

=]

 

haha idk maybe i should wait even though i don't want too

eating it would scare the hell out of me

 

you can be mentally addicted to ANYTHING....even TV...infact im sure most americans are addicted to TV, they just dont know it.

 

u can be addicted to sex too because of the mental feeling of cumming or other things like touching your elbo to feel your arm tiinggle or the taste of ice cream

its been about a week scence my last smoke and i dont feel and need/want to do it again but i do for alchohal-when i dont have any its always on my mind for about a week after =/ physicly i sort of a twitch to go buy some after comeing down off a bender thats lasted about a few days and that sucks and thats when i feel like that i dont know how comeing down off a week long pot binge would feel like. but because it dosnt have a *hangover* i think it would be a little easier.

 

I don't think I can quit anytime soon. There is no doubt in my mind, I am mentally addicted to marijuana.

 

Need an extra shovel to dig that grave Skull?

 

You can be mentally addicted to anything.

 

they way i see it. addiction is your body needing the chemical right. well with, weed. its you yourself wanting the weed. basically, its your own bodies personality that wants it. so unless you see your personality as just a brain function and nothing more than no its not an addiction in the least form.

everyone needs love. is love an addiction? we all need air. is breathing an addiction?

 

You can have a psychological addiction to anything.

 

Yeah, its just like a lot of people are psychologicly addicted to coffee, or chocolate, or exersice. If you do somthing everyday for a while, you are mentally going to get used to doing that, and feel like you need to. Ooo, i got a real good analagy. Its like people are psychologilly addictied to chewing there nails, or sucking their thumb. They obviously arent going to have withdrawl symptons. But it is still hard to quit.

 

i feel like it has a "hangover" effect im coming off a 1 week high and my stomach is in a not and i got sharp pains that shoot up and a head ache and now i got a 102.5 F fever. lol

 

That is a great analogy, the human mind it's really weird, it can convince itself that it NEEDS something completely unnecesary to be ok.

 

Yep that makes perfect sense, opened up my eyes. Nice analogy.

 

Am I the only person who thinks "mentally addicting" is double speak designed specifically for use as propaganda?
