    that's about right. With the only difference that mj gives you withdrawals for up to a month after you stop. Chocolate is a bit more forgiving.

    Uh, what? You mean psychological withdrawals or something? Because you already said yourself it's not physically addictive. So what you mean? :sifone:

    Withdrawals as in negative effects you experience when you stop the intake of a certain substance. They can be both physical or mental.

    Physical: lack of appetite and insomnia.
    Mental: bad mood, slight depression.

    If you asking "what causes them?" then yeah the answer is, psychological addiction.

    Ya I would just say it's just physical withdrawal for me, if you can call it that, for example my appetite is terrible when I haven't smoked recently. Weed really relaxes my stomach muscles. I don't get that psychological addiction stuff anymore when I am not high. I like being completely sober sometimes, because it's so rare haha.

    I know its almost like you are high when you are sober after being high for a few weeks.. Because I know when I am blown.. I look at sober people and watch them talk and I just think to myself "What a bunch of high dumbasses." Of course they aren't high but I always think they are when I'm high. So then being sober I feel different and feel high I guess.. I dunno.. Lol

    If you have to resort to low-life shit like that then maybe you should quit smoking altogether, or at least until you can afford it.

    Wrong. Cocaine and weed are so different in terms of addiction/dependence. Cocaine causes changes in the production of dopamine in your brain, stopping use causes withdrawal symptoms due to those changes. Withdrawal symptoms continue until your brain reestablishes dopamine production back to it's natural levels. The same process takes place with opiate addiction and endorphins.

    That type of change does NOT occur with marijuana.

    There are some "withdrawal" symptoms from weed use, but it does not cause the changes in brain chemistry that truly addictive substances cause. For most people symptoms subside within a week.

    so many fucking people are hooked on weed constantly but its not even really that great, once in awhile kind of thing is cool... but I admit, a lot of times Im a wake and baker.. and when I get off work, the routine, not good.. too much money..

    and it makes you really lazy.. sometimes I wish I could just wake up in the morning and take a jog or something... but no fucking way..

    A jog? I never liked running. I don't get why more people don't ride bikes, it's relaxing and a solid work out. I like to smoke a fat bong bowl in the early morning or evening, then ride 30-40miles on my bike.

    Nothing can make you lazy that you don't allow to do so. The only thing stopping you from having that early morning run is you.

    Please stop feeding the "war on drugs" propaganda. YES one can develop a psychological dependence on weed similar to eating junk food but it is not in the same league as cocaine.

    anything is addicting when you have an addictive personality.
