i dont think its possible to get addicted

it isnt, i havent smoked for about 2 weeks sometimes i will smoke like a whole shit load for a week straight a couple of times i havent done it for a month or longer and sometimes ill do it like 2 times in a month so i dont think its possible to be addicted and have to reli on it and like a have to thing everyday like smoking
how can people smoke cigs any way i mean the dont do shit all for u they give u a little head rush who cares go smoke some weed instead all ive heard about smoking that is good for u if you puff a cig right after toking cause it gets ur blood moving faster so your like 33% higher or something

but yeah i dont think its possible to get addicted to weed

 

I agree, I don't think that you can get physically addicted to weed, I stop and start no problem. Though, I think some people can develop a psychological dependence on it.

 

Oh yeah, I dare you to not smoke for a week even if you have some on you right now.

 

I agree also I don't think you can really get addicted because I stop smoking pot every year for two weeks to go on some stupid family vacation

 

if you check the depression thread, a few are talking about addiction there. cannabis isn't addictive, but of course people with addictive personality could find themselfs hooked - but they could get hooked to anything, its in there personality - nothing to do cannabis. like someone in the depression thread said, they could just just as well be hooked on gambling or whatever.

 

Maybe -you- can't get addicted to grass, KottonKandyAfro, but believe me it happens. A lot of users are quick to point out that there is no addictive chemical. Fair enough, people don't build up physical dependence. Gambling has no addictive chemical either. We all know that there are people who smoke compulsively, who need it to feel comfortable, who's lives revolve around marijuana. I have a friend who told me that after 24 hours without pot he starts to go insane. Some people are truly addicted to it. And while most users, even heavy users, can stop abruptly with very little problems, there are those who depend on it mentally and to state otherwise is a little bit demeaning to addicts.

So I vote that its possible, just not for everybody.

 

I suppose if you have absolutely nothing in your life that is positive, and weed is your only escape then you could get addicted. I know that i can go a while without it although i try not to let that happen

 

you can't get physically addicted, but believe me it's very psychologically addicting for some people...what a bullshit thread...

all these generalizations about weed, like being addicting/nonaddicting or being a gateway drug/not being one are so stupid.. of course when the gov't says its addicting it's even worse because they make it sound like crack.. but EVERYONE has a different reaction to weed and a different experience.. once you start smoking everyday its easy to make it a daily habit for alot of people..who the fuck cares you can go without it for a month..congrats i guess?

 

I fucking crave weed, its hard to stop. But I can control my self.

 

tell me to stop smoking! il kick you in the balls! (or call you a bitch and sulk away)

I need weed at least once per day now. sometiems purely for habit, but also i find its where i want to be. I prefer it being high to not being high, and ive got plenty of weed, and i dont think about the consequences! (or act apon them at least)

Just because you dont have an addictive p-ersonality like some of us, doesnt mean it doesnt happen. I was steering towards being an alchoholic. then i found weed, which was much mroe convinent and feel-good. now i smoke lots. caus like to get drunk u need to drink a fair volume of liquids, but to get stoned u need to like burn a little bit of plant. one hit.

 

dude im living proof im addicted to weed

 

I think some of the more 'body high' strains can lead one to believe that there's a physical addiction. Heavy eyes, laz boy syndrome, etc.... That bam I'm stoned feeling. Psychologically it is absolutely possible to become dependant on MJ. I think it's up to the individual to decide whether it's jacking with their life or not.

 

what a silly thread in my opinion...........by the way, smoke dank for 5 years couple times a day .........then tell me if it can stick your mind?

people act like weed is powerless, but I can assure it's more powerful than many, many ever know.

 

you cant become addicted but my body becomes dependent on it

if i dont smoke one day i dont feel the same cant sleep just dont feel good
its not really an addiction as for a reason to stop

if i had reason to quit i could easily but untill then

 

There's a difference between going for a while without weed, and stopping. Sure, I can go a month without smoking pretty easily... But only when I know when I'mg oing to be getting weed, and that I am going to be getting weed.


It's a lot harder than you may think to just take a break; there's still a lot of temptation, and I don't really care what anyone says when you're presented with that opportunity to smoke while on a break it's hard to reject.

 

I had a 6month period of smoking weed, but today Im 7-th day sober and it´s not as easy as it seems ....I had a really bad tenmperature and I was feeling like I came back from the dead ..... I simply was really SICK .... but today Im feeling Better but mi mind is fucked up like an asian bitch....Memory is really bad ...thining about the day before seems like it was a month ago and I can´t remember almost anything about it ..... It is really hard not to smoke ....but I simply stay at home and don´t go aout at all.... thats the reason Im capable doing it

 

sigh, anything at all that alters the way you feel is addictive in at least a mental dependacy kinda way. Your tempature and other symptoms are all in your head or made up because you want to feel old school. I smoked heavily for over ten years before I stopped, and I can guarantee that I had absolutely no withdrawel symptoms. I did however, have tendency to automatically take a hit when ever some passed me a pipe or joint before I even realized I was doing it. Just a practiced response to a simple stimuli. eventually I got the hang of thinking before I toked, and have not had a toke in 7 years.

 

why man? got bored of it?

 

started causing me to have anxiety attacks

 

I was definitely addicted to weed when I smoked. My life revolved around it, and it pretty much controlled me.

It started giving me anxiety attacks so I have been able to quit very easily and haven't smoked in two months without so much as a desire. And I'm offered weed all the time.
