Addiction.....

[Chainsaw1234]

Basically i last smoked on Friday 15th September 2006. and its now sunday i just feel really down/mad.. im not sure really, and jus not quite right (cant explain it, possible emotions i duno.). This has been happenning everytime i stop now, i cant stand it. In the past i use to just smoke on weekends. But suddenly Ive been smokin more regular, it must of built up over time. SIGH

[DylanN89]

yea man this happens all the time with me sometimes its called Withdrawl like when u go a little bit witout smoking u might think to urself the day isnt as good as it was or could be better but look up man on the brightside...

[Frivolous248]

You just need to find other things to do to keep your mind off it. It does suck to go dry though.

[AlwaysBlazed]

Yup, i just went dry.... /sigh

[S.P.Q.R.]

Yeah i've been dry for about 4 days now... and to make it even worse, I just caught a stomach flu and have a temperature of 102 :(... makes sobriety so much worse..

Eh... You're probably emotionally dependent on it now. If it gets worst in the years to come go to rehab.

ya when i quit smoking since i smoke very heavily, i get headaches and i never get hungry....i need the munchies to make me hungry i guess since im always baked. it happens to my friends too when they quit they wont eat all day cause they have no appetite

[HypnotizedMind]

when i go dry i cant sleep, i hate it cause it totally fucks up my sleep pattern.

4 days is nothing, I've been dry for about a month now. :(

someone stole $300 from me so I don't have the money at the moment for bud. :mad:

[Nodnorb]

Is it really withdrawl, or is it just like when you come out of a movie theater and the sun is too bright? – you get accustomed to a certain setting (being high, etc) and not having that means your body has to get used to being sober again. Now what are the effects of “withdrawl”? Just a coincidence that they are basically the exact opposite of the effects of smoking weed. Angry vs. calm, insomnia vs. sleeping a lot, no appetite vs. munchies, etc.

Weird shit has been happening to me lately. I used to be like that, but worse. See, I smoke for a lot of medical reasons. One of which is for depression. I am not CLINICALLY given marijuana, I mean I just suffer from depression, and smoking makes it go away.

But, lately, I've been smoking and just getting more depressed and when I start sobering up, I start getting a bit more energetic.

It happens, though. I would get to the point where when I didn't have no buddha, I'd just walk around my house and listen to music because I was so bored. haha That's the only thing you can really do, is keep your mind busy.

You may not WANT to, but I'd start thinking about activities you can do now around your house and stuff to keep your mind busy. Stuff that you've been procrastinating about lately.

I mean, there are a lot of things you can do when you're sober that make the time go just as quick because you're mind is focused on the task at hand.

You hate being dry, I've smoked so much I'm sick of having it. I'm takin a break! If I could, I'd send you my buddha, mi mano!

That's basically what people would call withdrawal. The body having to rewire itself to get used to not having that drug.

I think marijuana is like any drug, just not AS addictive. I think it IS pschologically addictive, especially in people with addictive personalities (like me, :thumbsup:).

P.S. - Is your name GotNoRice backwards??

Maaaan...you in HERE...FOR SOME WEED?! Weed is not a drug....BOO THIS MANNN!

Nah but on the real...you're fuckin young man...you need to focus your efforts on doing something positive with your life. Don't let weed interfere...just let it participate.

[Buddha Man]

ur not addicted. weed has mental, not a physical, urge unlike other drugs like nicotine and heroine and all that bullshit. you wont go INSANE if you dont smoke youll just feel a lil sad. im dry right now. and im kinda sad. but oh well im smokin tomorrow hopefully

ya man your not emotionally dependent on it you just realize its not the same high and you enjoy being high so why not be high???

anyone seen 'What the Bleep do we now anyways" they explain addiction really well and how its all a chemical process in your brian. There are lots of things in your everyday life your addicted to the same way you feel towards weed. What i mean is that if you lost your power lets say and couldn't use computer/tv u easily feel just as depressed and bored as you do when you can't smoke.

Weed is not a serious drug you need to go to rehab for. hell coffee's worse!!

Dude! haha, I just realized that though I knew that the computer or music on my computer had a hold on me, but I never really thought about it like that with weed. It IS the same. If I don't have my computer to listen to music, I'm even MORE bored and depressed than if I don't have weed. Now that I think about it, I'm more addicted to my computer and downloading things than I am with ganja.

Thanks for putting things into perspective for me, that actually makes me feel a lot better about wanting to smoke and feeling a bit sad when I don't have it. KEEP ON SMOKIN! ...i-if you can.....:o:thumbsup:

[Kryzco]

it just takes some time to get back into reality

its all in your head

dry periods suck indeed, but you don't see people handing out bj's for weed

crack is an addiction
not the ganj
