So couple of years ago i pop over to the "weed will make you grow devil horns" website and lo and behold I see "long term use causes addiction". Upon reading this is jumped in the car went to my dealer and bought a " "shitload". I smoked ungoldy amounts for a week solid then stopped cold turkey for a 2 weeks. During the first day my head hurt a little but after that nothing. For further proof. I've since gotten married(bad idea btw) and have been dry for 2 years now. in that time i haven't smoked once. I don't think about it non stop and get the shakes thinking about getting a "fix". I stopped cold turkey and nothing what so ever happend to me after smoking like a chimney for 4 years. People use the same crap everytime. According to their thinking if you smoke it you must be addicted but if you stop you don't smoke anymore? That crap has been pissing me off since i was 12. They just use that crap to try and snark people into thinking they have a problem. It's a mind trick. Doing something you enjoy often doesn't equate to having an addiction Ok so yah you can't get addicted(belive me lol) and just because you smoke often doesn't meen you have a problem...it meens you do something you enjoy often.. Smoke a j for me brothers i'll be joining you again someday
Neh dry as a bone for 2 years now I was a respected member of the city and even did a few grows back in the day but since the ring came on i've been in fucked city instead of grass city
At first yes but i soon found out she's an angry slut so that went out the window...recently i've stayed dry because i don't have any money and i needed to get a job. Once i get on full time here i'ma get a vape and use it on my days off and if she doesn't like it she can get out of my damn house *edit* Not to say she might not be leaving either way I've had nothing since i met her(used to smoke all the time and have a nice apartment and car now i have nothing) and After some insane bullshit on her part I don't think i can ever trust or care for her again. I've been giving it some time to see if the cracks mended but the rift has only gotten deeper. Soon i'll have to make the final verdic. Once i get a job i'ma get a place and i'ma have a little grow in my closet. I'm really worried that once i have something she'll just wait untill it's handy for her then fuck me over again and divorce me and take all my stuff that i just got back again. Everytime i get up something/someone runs me down with a snow plow and i'm getting real tired of it. I still have a few months to think about it. I know what i should do. After they heard what she did everyone i've ever met called me up just to tell me to toss her shit out in the yard and I damn well know what will happen if i move forward with her in tow. Bah to kind and patience for my own good i guess. Heh "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness" I no longer feel all that close to the God i used to know but i can see how his teaching took root in me. To bad I ended up with the female version of hitler for a wife :/ Maybe someday my wayward and confused soul will find a home again.
Idk but i find it annoying to go without weed.. not that its impossible but i sure as hell would deffinitly not want to do it, Addicted? yes i am.
When they claim cannabis is addictive do they realize most people know better. Beyond children that is. I took a 5 year break in the mid 90's for work(on the spot random testing). Never had an issue with it, except when we first started smoking again I got sooo high and a little too paranoid the first few times. And if you're definitely going to split up with your wife, shouldn't you do it now, while you have nothing? So she can't take half of whatever you manage to get? Do it now and try and get spousal support from her....
"And if you're definitely going to split up with your wife, shouldn't you do it now, while you have nothing? So she can't take half of whatever you manage to get? Do it now and try and get spousal support from her...." And that's my dilemma. She has gotten much better and has been trying really hard lately but it's like putting a bandaid on a broken damn from my end at this point. So the question i will toss around in my head untill the final day is: 1. Do i try and ride it out 2. Do i split now so she can't crush me once i get back on my feet I'm working all night now (11pm to 7:30am). I'll be gone all night every night from here on out. I couldn't even trust her when i had nothing to do but watch her and make sure she wasn't cheating on me again. now i have to trust her enough to not be hitler while i'm never home all night? And if i do get past the first step and decide to give her another chance how long will it be unitll I somehow piss her off or she gets bored again and just starts fucking around again? Meh sooo complicated :/ *edit* "Idk but i find it annoying to go without weed.. not that its impossible but i sure as hell would deffinitly not want to do it, Addicted? yes i am" I'd find it annoying to go without porn electricty and the internet but i'm not addicted to them. There is a large differance between liking something alot and being addicted. Meth heads are addicted. That chick on the corner sucking @##$ for coke is addicted. you my friend are not.
yeah, i find that if i want to stop for awhile, i get it out of my sysstem by doing it daily multiple times for a while b4 i need a break, then i can go MONTHS without smoking, its always good to know ur not a "drug" user, ur a life enhancer.
i think it is more or less a psychological addiction i have quit before for about a year but the first couple of days i wanted to smoke then i got over it and didnt really care. but you also have to remember that some people have an addictive personality and i guess get addicted to just about anything, but if you are saying that its not a physical addiction or even a strong psychological addiction i can agree.
Yeh i'm sure someone out there can get "addicted" mentally but about the same number of people get addicted to milk, killing ants or licking paint on the walls :/
Why don't you divorce her now? If she is the one that cheated on you (im guessing it was something like that) then that means SHE has to support YOU if you split up, do it now so she can rob you if you get divorced later. just my 2 cents.
Well heres the deal. Weed cannot hook you physically like heroin can, not even close. But they have done studies to see what happens when heavy users quit cold turkey and most of them experienced what you could call withdrawl. Again though not in the same league as coming off of opiates. The danger is within yourself usually as with any drug, unless you smoke heavily and suddenly stop then you should be good.
the way i see it is, you don't wake up in the middle of the night to smoke weed. you don't wake up in the middle of winter, put on your jacket and go out into the cold so you can have a quick smoke and then go back to bed because you had your "fix." to be honest, i think i'm more addicted to the internet than smoking marijuana. i need to get on the computer at least once every 2 or 3 days (and i'm usually on it at least once a day) but i just decided to go on a t break and i haven't smoked since the 2nd. and its been in front of me multiple times
Yea I know pot isn't addictive like coke/meth; where like you HAVE to have it cause your body gets used to it being in your system. But I still think an addiction to marijuana is possible. I've been smoking everyday for the better part of 3 years now, I can't for the life of me fall asleep without being high. I've tried it, I just can't do it, no matter how sleepy I am.
just b/c YOU dont think you can get addicted, doesnt mean you cant get addicted. You can be addicted to anything...your thinking of addiction in the same way as one would be addicted to nicotine, which even in that case I believ you can be addicted...everyone is different...you might not crave it badly, but if I go a day or 2 without it i get migrane headaches, night sweats, cant sleep and get very on edge...takes a while to get back to normal...doesnt mean i was addicted but when i constantly think about it and want it, then i think you could say its an addiction..if i had it right now i would not be able to resist it.
yes i too have taken a break im on day 5 and the first 2 days are the hardest. after that its all on easy street. The only thing i got was a slight headache and some minor mood switches/swings. Im taken the break for 14 days for tolerence and i have been smoking for almost 2 years straight/every day. oh and btw i can sleep like a baby but thats becuase i workout pretty hard so thats the ticket, just get your mind off it or just not smoke its that easy.
The only notable effect from when I was smoking like 8 bowls a day.. which isn't much in my opinion... i can hold a lot of pot under my belt like most of you out there, but i was sent to rehab.. for smoking too much weed... the whole time i was in rehab.. i was like... wow... you guys think i need to be locked up because im so addicted to pot.. and see, most of the counsilers and shit are ex-addicts.. but not one.. was addicted to pot... ever... also, i'd like to mention i was the only person in the for weed... shows you how addictive it is.. everyone else was there for opiates, meth, and coke... i was the only person in there who was NOT being driven up a fucking wall.. why? because marijuana is as addictive as YOU make it.. most pot smokers arent so dumb because they don't end up losing all their shit and fuckign their whole life up and everyone who loves them.. the people who move on to other drugs from weed do so because their addictive personalities are barely grasped that hard by marijuana... if you give coke to someone with an addictive personality... it's a pretty obvious thing to assume theyll do it again if they can get their hands on it because they "liked it"... Now, i know many hard drug users, most of which tried pot, and "didnt like it".. A good example is my aunt, she's a textbook example of a crack head.. she smokes crack in her trailer all day.. typical crack head story. i wont go in to details on it, as im sure you can imagine.. she smoked pot with me.. and shes like.. this doesnt really give me enough "bang".. people who move on to harder drugs are bound to do so with or without pot.. why? they have addictive personalities that crave something more addicting, to put it simply.. IMO
