attention all weed addicts!!!

the fact of the matter is if i quit tomorrow, i wouldnt feel anything except a little sad that weed was out of my life. i would not have physical withdrawls or anything of the sort.

now please go find another board.

 

He has as much of a right to post here as you do.


Or anyone else, for that matter.

 

agreed, however for his sake i dont think he is going to get many people supporting him.
but true--he does have the right

 

I don't think many of us will support you in saying that you can not get addicted to weed. There is a boat load of weed addicts here. Most know they are addicted.

There are 2 types of addiction. Implying that psychological addiction is not an addiction because you don't get sick if you give up marijuana is like saying; A whale is not a mammal because it doesn't walk on land.

 

so? i never said people could become physically addictive on weed, i've only ever said psychologically addicted. of course you don't get physical withdrawals from weed.

i'm shocked you're still insulting me, you said something false trying to make me look like an idiot and got showed up; your attempt backfired spectacularly, just accept that and move on, don't continue making a fool of yourself.

 

oh wow, great show of intellect, i think it's "rediculous" that you think there aren't any marijuana addicts. you're going to tell me weed is less addictive than say, gambling? stealing? ever heard of a compulsive gambler? a kleptomaniac?

 

dave... why is it your business if people smoke pot or not. Your posing multiple replys on this forum everytime some one posts, id rather be addicted to pot then not have a life, which also brings me to the point of stoners being lazy... well look at you enough said. Id rather be high and surf the internet then not be high and sit there all day

 

i think you misunderstand me, i was merely saying that physical addiction doesnt seem to mbe an issue with marijuana, however i agree with what you mean psychologically, people can be addicted to just about anything psychologically.

 

Now when you meet these poor souls who are seeking to destroy—and there are many many of them on the World Wide Web, for they are able to get away with much (they think; they are not aware of how so many can feel their unlovingness), they feel they can get away with more because in person their unloving essence expresses itself more obviously, they think—do not make the mistake of polarizing toward them in a way that says "I will destroy you." Do not approach them with attack. Do not feed back to them unloving essence, for that is what they wish.

 

excuse me hemphippie but what the hell right do you have in telling people to get off the board, can you tell me that?!?!

 

Folks, please remember: You can disagree without being disagreeable.

I'm a medicinal user who is going without, and it is not sitting well with my system. I can agree with the sentiments about "use with moderation". I don't agree with the "get outside, why dont'cha?", but I can understand the viewpoint.

We are above pettiness and bickering. Let us find common ground and understand where the other person is coming from. The human race has come too far to resort to mud slinging.

 

eggs ACTly

 

A shut-in loser? Visiting "some guys" every couple of weeks? That's jumping the gun a little.

Y'know, I've met many people who fill the "lazy stoner" stereotype, but I've also met many absolutely incredible, hard-working, interesting people who choose to smoke pot. Being a stoner doesn't mean being a shut in. What about going out with friends who also smoke weed? Or what about staying in for the night with a circle of smokers, a bong and a movie? Smoking n toking can be a social event; I personally find it's good bonding to get high with my buddies.

Don't you ever go out for drinks with your friends? Or is that out of the question, because you don't want to become a drunk?

 

If you pay for a sack instead of your bills then you have a problem. If you suck dick for weed you have a problem. If you smoke and don't cause harm to anyone but potentially yourself, then there is no overwhelming problem that an objective authority must intervene to restrict your liberty. One should never be punished for causing no harm. The purpose of law is to protect the people, who are cannabis laws protecting? The tobacco and pharmacutical companies and oil companies that's who. Hemp has so many uses that should be utilised, eliminate the negative stigma of cannabis with truth and knowledge. Irradicate the stereotype of the lazy dumb stoner, embrace existence and wisdom, man is what he believes. Fight for the legalization, fight not just with might but with intelligence.

 

read the topic. i smoke weed every day, can't get a long-term sleeping pill prescription and i have insomnia, drink, do many drugs. i'm not talking as an outside observer, i'm commenting on stuff i've personally seen happen to many friends and acquaintances.

as i've said multiple times, i'm not accusing ALL WEED ADDICTS at all, or even suggesting that there is a person who fits the entire profile i suggested, however i was hoping people would read it and would notice some similarities between parts of what i said and their life, alerting them to problems they may not have realised.

judging by the huge amount of overly defensive responses, i'd say what i said did it's job; you wouldn't take it offensively if it didn't touch on some things that applied to you, if it didn't apply to you at all, you would respond like you did, or like psygrunge did, or like the guy with long posts, or simdaddy on this page.

not ignorant insults which betray the users insecurity and stupidity, like the hempsomething person telling me you can't become psychologically addicted to weed.

drew, for someone who smokes so much weed you're not very open-minded, i'm surprised you think i'm posting merely to "destroy people", if that was aimed at me; do you really think i'd bother typing out such long responses if i didn't seriously believe this? do you really think i'd still be responding (the amount of repetition i've had to endure is obscene, i must have typed out the same things 3 or 4 times now) if i didn't honestly believe this?

 

agreed that was uncalled for-- i guess i just wasnt sure poeple who are in fact addicted to weed will suddenly decide to stop/get help from one little post of things they've already heard

 

if you don't think they'll get help from one little post of things they've already heard, why not post something yourself to help people?

but wait, you didn't even think weed addiction could exist, like that other retard i had to respond to. why do you people bother posting when you obviously don't know what you're talking about?

i'd be happy to correct you if you weren't so aggressive, however it's just tiresome having to correct the same idiotic mistakes multiple times in one topic. then telling me to leave the board? you're not even a regular, you've posted as much as i have, at least a regular could justify saying that, you however have no justification, just your extreme arrogance.

stupidity, arrogance, aggressiveness; characteristics typified by a typical texan hick patriot, nice job fitting a stereotype "hemphippie", though probably not the stereotype you're trying to conform to, based on your username.

 

After reading every post on this topic, it seems like its a huge misunderstanding on both sides. Im guessing that if you started the topic off more elaborately explaining your entire view on the whole situation, Im sure that your message will get across much better. You have to understand though, I know where you are coming from. I do have friends too who have turned into vampires mainly because they smoke weed all the time. I respect the fact that you have concern for us, which in turn makes you a good person.

I am not verbally attacking you here, nor am I opposing you in any way. As a fellow pot smoker, I'm sure you know that the term "weed addict" will not fare well among the entire population of this board. A lot of people here are a bit too defensive, but I have seen some legitimate arguements here too.

But as for me, I'm cutting down a lot on weed right now. Not that I have to, but rather that I want to. You see, a lot of times I smoke, I find myself smoking alone a lot. After a while, it becomes unenjoyable so these days I just smoke when I have friends over or when I go to my friends places. I mean, being sober can be enjoyable too, dont you agree?

 

i hear alot of hate in your words, and that will get you nowhere.
i agree that i was mistaken in some of my words, which i do not beleive admitting something is arrogance.
sorry for our disagreement, you have a right to post here, i have the right to disagree.

 

I can't believe some people in this thread called the original poster a loser. Feel some unconvenient truth in his words?
No seriously, if you get so defensive or take it too personal you're really too uptight because all I've seen here is someone who's trying to give some help and advice. If you don't agree, why bash him? He wasn't talking to you then right?
