attention all weed addicts!!!

To me that doesn't really make a lot of sense. I really don't think you can over do it with MJ, although some people may see a guy who does nothing but get high a loser. But as long as he is happy with his life does it really matter?

 

i thought weed was a big part of my lazy lifestyle till i stopped for nine months and nothing changed.

 

Well it wouldn't would it.
I'm talking about people who smoke so much, routinely, on a daily basis and feel they can't do anything without a joint. Those who are constantly trying to get smoke and complaining or being moody when they are without.. believe it or not, these kinds of people are in existence.
Although they don't fit into the physically addicted group, heavy persistent weed smoking can have massive consequences in a pot smoker's psychological functions, especially regarding eating and sleeping. From what I've heard and have been through when I quit a couple year back, the irritation factor of having no chance to unwind with a spliff lasts no longer than 1-2 weeks, although the underlying 'i could do with a spliff' is still there for a while afterwards.
As for not overdoing it on weed, oh yes you can. Not to the extent of physical harm, but do not believe you can not overdo it. What do you mean by 'you can't overdo it'?! What do you class as a result for overdoing it? I'm not talking about getting ill. I'm talking about the time you spend smoking weed (on/off, and how much) compared with the weeks that follow your 'last smoke' - and how uninteresting and somewhat alien life temporarily becomes. The more you get caned (amount and time), the longer these temporary after effects seem to last. It's like playing Russian Roullette with your conciousness and if you take the piss with it, it'll take the piss with you.
Moderation is key and fine if you know where you are with it, but as soon as the taste for weed gets a hint of priority it'll become more and more of a necessity rather than a luxury.
Pushit, either you don't smoke a shitload on a regular basis and are using not abusing, or you're conciously unaware of the impact marijuana has on thought processes and behaviour due to the amount you are smoking. Then again, I've just remembered your love Ritalin, so I can't really comment coz that FUCKED ME UP when I left it alone. Hmm, little experiment - stay off everything for a few weeks and get back to me with any differences you're experiencing, or smoke a heapload of the stuff daily and ritually over a couple of weeks then get back to me during the week or two that follows.
I guess it'll become clearer when you leave your teenage years.
Just because someone gets high all the time doesn't mean they are happy. There could be reasons and personal issues as to why. They may decide to get high because that's ALL they want to do in life at the time, or the only way they can cope with certain situations in their life, or for reasons they care not to voice and fob off by giving the impression they're chilled laid back stoners. The fact that weed is blocking issues out of mind somewhat accounts for the heavy smoking and constant desire for it.
Just don't be fooled into thinking smoking a LOT of weed years on end (through your teenage years especially) can't cause problems.

 

so true.

 

Well maybe being addicted to weed doesn't look like much to me after being addicted to Ritalin... Who knows? I used to smoke a lot of bud, I got high just about everyday from the summer of my Freshman year to about 420 of this year. Even though it has taken me from then to about now to totally give it up(until Thanksgiving for our family reunion). I still want to get high, it would be the best thing that could happen, but it doesn't HAVE to happen. Maybe I've just never met a person who couldn't live without it.

Well in that case you're lucky. Little problem in Britain called 'Chavs'. That is 'Council House and Violent'. Normal teens/early 20s, tracksuit wearing trouble making scum in the name of 'sport' (or so their image would have you believe). If you're unluckly enough to live in a town of the cunts and they know you, your life on the streets can be a bit threatened. I'm constantly getting the little shits going 'got any weeeed', i've had knuckledusters pulled, threats dealt, people asking me to get it for em, people tryna empty me pockets (unsuccessfully, i must add) and just had to put up with hell on earth - all because they haven't got a spliff to smoke. It sends me fucking sour because they don't hang round alone, oh no. They wouldn't say boo to a goose if they were alone because they know they'd get hurt. They hang round in groups to purposely intimidate. Cowardly bastards.

 

O.K. I can see your point. Unfortunately I cannot attempt to get ripped for weeks on end for an experiment, I would absolutely love to but I'm clean for another month. Even then I'll only smoke about 2 grams.

But when I used to get high all the time I didn't even have the problems, they never actually formed. EVERYTHING used to be perfect when I was high, I would always have the best time in English... I'd write A or A+ essays, talk to my teacher about music or just rant about things I saw as stupid. Although now I can't really compare, I'm not in school or getting high.

Now I just miss going to English after lunch =(

 

Sounds like gangs of addicts to me, which I also have never seen. Come to think of it I haven't seen anything like a coke head or meth fiend in my entire life.

 

Ok I need to go, my pc is laggy! I tried going to your myspace and it ended baddd

 

How much weed did you smoke when you smoked 'all the time' (daily amount) and for how many years?!..

 

...the hipforums database just fucked up, i had problems too.

 

O.K. I'm normaled out, it wasn't just that my pc sucks and freaks out.
I smoked for about two years straight, between 0 and 3 grams a day.

 

I've smoked since i was 13. From the ages of 15 till about 18 i was averaging and 8th to a quarter a day. that's 3.5 - 7g, but definitely no less than an 8th. I'd say the amount you smoked was reasonable.
On the basis of this post, I have to ask - who are you to say 'Don't give advice where it isn't needed please' to Dave; when as far as YOU are concerned (you - being a person who is not and was not a monster toker; someone who didn't smoke enough to experience the hell cannabis can cause) - the information he posted could of been as valid as your perception?!

 

I did smoke when I was 13 but I'm not sure I got high until about 3 years ago so I don't even count it.
Around here 2 grams a day is what somebody who is a monster toker smokes... The only people around here who smoke 3.5-7.0 are big drug dealers, but they pretty much just smoke blunts so they go through it really fast.
In fact, people thought I was nuts for smoking 3 grams a day, thats why I said that.

Anyway I really need to get off, I have to go apply at Taco Bell tomorrow and I don't want to do it looking like a zombie, I should have gone to bed 5 and a half hours ago.

 

Oh man this being locked in my room smoking all day thing really is terrible, I mean I NEVER get out to see or do anything else.....

Here's all the fun things that happen when I am stoned in my room doing nothing....





I hate broad generalizations, sure some people will waste their life away doing nothing but smoking pot, however pot gives me something more to look forward to when I get out there and do things that I have been doing, and loving for years (before I smoked pot). Now the pot is just kind of an added bonus to the equation and I havent slowed down at all, actually I would say I am more active now that I dont have school work to worry about.

 

Cool pics skierdude, and a massive inspiration for pot heads, tourists and extreme sports activists alike!!

 

I wish I could live where ever Skierdood lives! But yea, I have been smoking at least a gram of kush a day for the last year or 2 and I'm doing way better than I ever would be doing sober. Only thing that its probably done to me is give me a strong hate towards authority lol.

 

Lol actually the bike pic/ pic of me standing on top of a mtn is about 90 min south of me, the skiing pic is in Utah and the mountain pic is Tuckerman Ravine in NH, I live in upstate NY

 

awesome pics

I actually go out more when I'm high. Lowers anxiety.
