Addicted to weed!

okay. i know its impossible to get addicted to weed physically. but i'm pretty sure i'm mentally addicted. i decided i would take a break for a week or two because i wasnt getting as high anymore and i built up a pretty big tolerance.

but, i'm currently on the first day. and i really want to smoke weed. i'm not going through withdrawel or anything, but i'd really like to get high. hahahaha.

anyone else ever go through this?

 

Well...I have a problem quitting weed...because I have no reason to...it doesn't affect my life...I've got good grades, I'm happy, I've got a nice job, my parents are cool to me, I have a full scholarship to UF...etc etc etc etc...so maybe you're in a similar situation where you have no reason to quit...so it's pointless

But when I had to take a drug test a month ago, I was able to quit for 3 weeks no problem because I just knew I couldn't smoke, and would be fucked if I did...so the thought never crossed.

 

it doesnt matter whether the impulse to take the drug comes from a chemical drive which makes you feel shit if you dont have the drug or simply from wanting it consciously which makes you bored or annoyed when you dont have the drug. its still an impulse and it still will lead to a habit if not overcome. the good news is that it is merely a matter of self discipline to get over being bored or annoyed, unlike other physically depending drugs which can cause more serious withdrawal rammifications.

can be easier said than done but usually when you do overcome it, you look back and think 'damn i was immature'

 

if weed is mainly a mental addiction for you, then why dont you try to occupy your mind with something else besides weed?

i take breaks from weed every so often...and i find the first several days are the worst, cause ya really wanna smoke. just try to keep yourself busy, and soon you wont feel like you need to smoke as much

 

i get it bad when i try to take a break. i will find myself crying over the stupidest things, if i haven't had weed for a given amount of time. which is very odd for me because I'm very laid back and usually happy most of the time and i rarely cry. i dont understand why it happens. but it is def not the norm for people quiting marijuana.

 

actually, it is probably more common than you think.

i dont see how you can say 'i dont understand why it happens' when youre talking about withdrawing from a drug. clearly THATS why it happens!

i participate on a psychology forum and theres an addiction subforuym where people seek help. the most common addiction people come to talk about is their weed addiction. very often they report not having done anything about it because they didnt think it was a problem or because they thought weed wasnt meant to be addictive or because they simply were too stoned most of the time to make a commitment for their life.

obviously this does not represent the world demography but the fact that its so common means that it is not some sort of anomoly to have issues.

unfortunately a lot of people on these boards insist that you cant have a weed addiction.

btw: common effects of quitting weed are emotional instabiliy, irritability, self doubt, being less comfortable in general, etc. i think a lot of issues come from having to deal with all the emotions that had been ignored while smoking weed all the time. neuronal systems that normally had certain emotions diverted lose their adjustment and then things become overwealming when the weed is taken away

there are many possible outcomes though, its naive to think that weed effects ANY TWO people in the very same way

 

I never experienced weed withdrawals, and if i did, wouldn't be too difficult to overcome. Alcohol and oxy withdrawal suck ass tho

 

i know how it feels, man., when my stash is almost gone, i get stressed and try to score. i guess that maybe, i'mpsychologically dependent on weed, but i know i can stop whenever i need to. i smoke everyday and a few weeks ago, i stopped for about 6 days. it was okay, but i was really emotional and grumpy..

 

yea i smoked for like 3 months every day 2 or 3 times a day because me and my friend get a bag like every 3 or 4 days and when that one runs out the other person gets a bad etc..and i stopped for like a week cuz my mom took my bowl and i wanted to quit cuz she was sayin she was gunna take my car cuz i turn 16 in like a week..and she said she would take it if i got caught again..and i didnt wanna risk it..but that hole week i was a hell of a lot meaner to my family and shit...then when i smoked again i was totally nicer and shit to them

 

Marijuana is not a drug. I used to suck dick for coke. Now that's an addiction. You ever suck some dick for marijuana?

 

yes since 4 years it is normal if you are who you are and smoke good marijuana, better it is the more it becomes a *hard drug*è

if i have nothing that keeps me from smoking, at times i usually smoke, and no weed i become fuckin crazy man

 

I don't smoke enough to be psychologically affected by it to the extent that you guys are talking about, but what I would give right now, for the oportunity to toke up. Damn. It just makes me feel vibrant, healthy, and ready to take on life one step at a time. It's like a little craving, like how you sometimes crave a particular food or drink. Speaking of which, I could go for a cup of green tea.

 

yeh except a cup of green weed effects the neurology that experiences the cup of tea, it is not just like craving for a nice cup of tea; craving to be stoned can be likened to craving for a nice chair to sit in, a nice cup of tea, some good music, some entertainment, some snug clothes, a grilled cheese sandwich, and a host of laugh-inducing stimuli, and more. yaknow?

 

bob saget...haha
i know a few guys who have.
though im not gay i probbly would too, depending on the quantity/quality of the marijuana in question. it does not show any level of addiction, it just shows basic moral stance.

 

...

 

haha, for the first time, bill has nothing intelligent to say.
i hope my liberal stance on cum guzzling for buds hasn't damaged your brain.

 

i really dont care if someone does that, the bit i didnt get was where you tried to make out that it doesnt show any level of addiction...

but hey if their moral stance is being a prostitute (doing a sexual act that they do not desire in return for some measure of currency), thats their choice (and yours). of course if they desired to give a headjob then they wouldnt be straight in which case i say go for it.

 

haha, thats the intelligent bill i was looking for.
i don't really have anything to say other than your definition of prostitute is slightly skewed, its hard for me to believe that all prostitutes always have a problem with the acts their doing.

 

Marijuana is an addictive drug. Worst than alcohol. After a while ull be high all the time and forget a bout life and your family and friends. And prolly go insane. There is a reason y its illegal...

 

I have no problem with not smoking during the week. but there hasnt been a weekend-day in the last....many months where I didnt get high, im sure id be pretty irritable if I had a sober weekend
