I don't think marijuana addiction exists

thank you very much.

 

While I find the OP to be incredibly ignorant, I admire his dedication to marijuana:sifone: lol

 

quiting is pretty hard. i went from a once a day(maybe more) smoker to trying to quit for a month. the first week sucked cuz it was all i thought about in my free time. after that it was easy.

 

First off, this is all subjective to the user and the users current situation in life. Not one of you, nor I, can tell any other person here that they are or are not addicted to pot. Not without knowing the full extent of the situation, and seeing it unfold on a day to day basis.

I'm going to say that a good number of people who stay high all day every day for large chunks of time, are probably addicted. How addicted they are, and how it effects their lives, is completely subjective to who they are, how the drug effects them, what type of pot they're smoking, and how outside influences in their life are effecting them.

For every person I've met who can stay high 24/7 for large chunks of time and have little to no negative side effects, I've met five who can't.

Their are two main reasons habitual pot smokers like to claim that addiction and negative side effects don't exist. The first is that almost all habitual smokers can live successfully. Meaning they can go to school, work, drive a car, go shopping, do almost anything while high successfully. The second is that the problems it does cause can almost always be attributed to another aspect in their life, and may in fact some times be caused by something other then their pot smoking.

So what happens? They lie to themselves about whatever negative side effects are actually caused by smoking pot. Also, it's hard to say whats caused by being high 24/7 when you've been high all day every day for the past year, or even longer. In fact, high is basically you're new sober at that point.

I'm not talking out of my ass here, I'm telling you reality as I've seen it for myself and for others around me. I'm not passing judgment on anyone, nor am I telling anyone what they should or should not do. For anyone here, or anywhere else, to say that pot does not have negative side effects, or that pot is not addictive, they are wrong, period.

There is no debate, and I'll tell you why I know this, because I am seriously addicted to pot, and I've known other people who are too.

I'm 23, I first smoked when I was 11, and have more or less smoked on and off since. There have been long stretches where I smoke pot all day every day, and long stretches where I haven't. If it weren't for the relationship I have with my girlfriend of 7 years, or my psychedelic drug use, I'd probably smoke pot ever day all day and think nothing of it.

I'm not only not a stupid person, I'm not a bad person either. I've read and heard a lot of examples of people being addicted to pot, and the negative side effects it's caused, and it ends up just seeming like the problem wasn't the pot, but that the person was a fucking idiot who didn't give a shit about anyone but themselves.

The things I've done because of weed are rather minor. I've stolen small amounts of weed from people, smoked behind my girlfriends back, and probably something else here or there. To me though, that hurts, I feel guilty as hell because on every other occasion I'm an honest person.

I'll tell you when I really realized how addicted to weed I was, because it took a long time to come to the full realization. If I have weed, I can't not smoke it, I have to smoke it if I have it, period. Why? I can't get it out of my head, no matter how hard I try it's all I can think about, and it hurts. If I don't have it, but say my room mate has it, and leaves it out on the coffee table, and I know it's not mine, and I didn't pay for it, and I wasn't given permission to smoke any, it's all I can think about, and sometimes I don't have the will power to not pinch some.

Thats what it comes down to in the long run with any addiction. Doesn't matter if it's crack, or video games, or sex, or pot. If it takes away your control of yourself and what you do in order to experience it, you're addicted. Doesn't matter if it's physical or not. If you can't decide not to pinch someones bag, even if you know they would be pissed if they caught you, then you're either just an asshole, or you're addicted.

I'm saying a lot, but it's because I see so many deluded fucking pot heads out there. Just because pot isn't crack doesn't mean it doesn't have it's own pitfalls. Every recreational drug has draw backs. It's pretty safe to say if it gives you something, it's taking something too.

I'm telling you right now, I'm addicted to weed and if I smoke it all day every day I become very apathetic, lethargic, and don't want to do anything at all except get high and veg out. How do I know this is because of weed, because when I'm not high THATS NOT HOW I ACT.

So maybe all you habitual pot heads out there should take a break for at least half a year, and see how your situation in life changes. It's just a suggestion, I'm not here judging any of you, I'm just saying that you're seriously deluded if you think pot can't have negative side effects, and that it's impossible to be addicted.

 

Knowledge:sifone:

 

physical addiction, no. Mentally, maybe...

 

wtf???? Why are you talking ab out cialis and your sex life. With like one sentence about marijuana. (assuming thats what your talking about since thats what the threads about)

 

Küssen Sie meinen Esel

 

what it should always come down to is whadda ya wanna do w/ your life. as mentioned in the men are useless thread: the fuck it attitude. partying is more important than nearly anything. & no, of course not everyone is like that. even @ rainbow gatherings where work is supposed to be shared, etc.. this attitude can often prevail. what often happens is that some individuals work much harder than usual w/o complaints. therefore, enough work gets done & that`s that. end of story. don`t rock the boat, as it were.

 

I do not believe that marijuana is physically addictive. I have smoked of over 40 years. When I can not get weed I suffer no ill effect. I do however miss it when I can not get it.
<(^o^)>

 

umm..trust me. marijuana addiction exsists. whether its mental or psychical it doesnt matter. Mental addiction can actually be worse...

 

Dependency can be hard to deal with. I smoked tobacco cigarettes from the time I was 16 till I was 22. A pack a day. I stopped, cold turkey. That was much harder than going without weed. And, the psychical addiction was going quickly. It was the dependency that lasted for months. I was amazed at how many smoke triggers I had. But then I was smoking 20 cigarettes a day.

 

You really can't compare cigarettes to weed though, it's not a debate over what's more addictive, it's a question of if it's addictive to begin with

 

Yes. And, in my personal experience I would have to say no it is not addictive. Nether physically or psychologically.

^You are a sexy beast and I would hit it so hard.

 

Metal addiction maybe but physical addiction no way, I can smoke for 2 weeks straight and once I am out, not think twice about it

 

Thank you.

You just reiterated what we've been trying to say for years.

 

Ich würde liber, den schonungslos ja ficken.

 

thank you :blush5:
