Pretty sad really isnt it.

Oh well.

Still, it's not addictive.

You cant base a statement on your OWN experiece, everyone is differnt, in this case it seems your the odd one out cos your the only one here that cant just stop.

---

exactly LIP, u hit the nail on the head... Halcy0n dude its YOUR problem if your cranky at your girl because YOU can't handle being without weed... me personally i was actually crankier WITH weed cuz when i was stoned i just wanted my family to leave me alone to be stoned....

don't put US in the same room as you just because you BELIEVE you are addicted, it doesnt mean we are........

Peace,

now stfu and smoke so you don't yell at your girl because someone proved you WRONG! :D

dude when i stopped i didnt experience any withdrawel, and i was an everyday toker, goin through an ounce a week

so stick that in your bowl and smoke it :bonghit:

I'd just like to take the time to ask EVERYONE who reads this to say is they yell at people or get anxious when they dont have weed.

Please post yes or no.

Me... no, i dont because im not addicted to it.. concidering it's not addictive..

I'm convinced you are an idiot and their is no point in even giving you a decent response to that.

But I will say this, you appear to use addiction as an excuse.

Maybe you snap at your g/f because you are an asshole. Maybe your are anxious because you are naturally an anxious person. And maybe you have trouble sleeping because you aren't tired.

Weed helps people go to sleep, makes people more pleasent to be around, and feel less anxious. Maybe you just forgot what you are like when you aren't high?

Congratulations. You've just proven that cannabis is as addictive as caffeine. Stop the presses!

The question should be are you easily irritated or anxious.

people who get cranky without weed, i bet also get cranky once they get used to any other drug in their system.. weak or not... same as caffiene.. of the addictions, that rates pretty low... people that get cranky over not having weed, and consume caffiene daily, i bet would also get cranky when their caffiene is taken away for a day or so...

physical withdrawl includes shit like, jitteryness, shakeyness, nasuea, vomiting, pain (physical pain throughout your body) shit like anger, irritability, anxiousness, short temper, may accompony symptoms of drugs that DO have physical addiction, but that doesn't mean those are physical withdrawl symptoms... they are psychological...

I'm not using anything as an excuse. I'm normally a pretty calm and laid back guy. In resorting to name calling, you have just proven yourself to be the idiot ;)

I've said just about everything I'm going to say in this thread. You guys are now just bringing up shit I've already covered. Marijuana is addictive and if you think it's not, you're only kidding youself.

yes, i sometimes do get cranky when i don't have weed (but i still say it's not physically addictive.. anger is an emotion, which is psychological, mental)

Answer me this one question, How often do you smoke?

I was rereading the thread.....you have seriously been up for 36 hrs because you haven't had any pot?

Thats weak. Respect has been lost here.

yes it is

re-read your own post smart ass

Insomnia? Look at yourself in a mirror, and tell yourself. "I struggle from Insomnia because of my marijuana withdrawl"

If you can seriously tell yourself that, you must have a weak resolve. Yes, Respect has been lost here.

In fact, I've read not everyone does. But some do, I am one of them. So even though you may not experience these symptoms, how in the hell would you know if I didn't?

---

Was he arguing the psychological addiction? Of course it can be psychologically addictive, but shouldn't even have addiction connected to it. I thought it was established that weed could be psycholoically addictive to some, but physically addictive to no one.

I thought we were arguing physical addiction this whole time. Maybe I'm to tired for this.

---

that's how i am, and that's what happens to me as well... i don't exactly feel worn out, burnt out or sleepy... i just feel mildly tired, have trouble concentrating (not a whole lot, but i'm not as sharp as when i haven't smoked in awhile) and feel kinda 'laid back and lazy'

I've read plenty of other people's posts who experience exactly the same thing as me. And like some random dude on the interet's respect matters to me. I know I'm right, and if you don't want to believe me that's fine.

I realized on page 2 I had the wrong definition of physical addiction. Now I'm only arguing the psychological part.

My point is this. You may just be an insomniac and the weed was helping put you to sleep. Without it, you would naturally have trouble sleeping. Everything you equate to weed are all positive effects of weed.

It helps many people fall to sleep, helps them not snap as easy, etc.

The insomnia always wears off about 5 days after quitting smoking. Before that time I have trouble falling and staying asleep. It's a pattern I've produced over and over again.

Than their isn't much argument, but psychological addictions usually aren't serious. I suppose gambling and porn are the exceptions, but other than those, I really haven't seen lives ruined. I really haven't met a person who can't quite weed unless they have outside help.

Nothing as long as it doesn't get in the way. Some people though will literally choose internet porn over a real woman.

Give it a rest it's not a physical addiction, Study has proven In your mind you can get hooked. Marijuana is well known for having little to no hangover/"withdraw" effects.

Yes, a user can develop a strong mental addiction from long term use like myself but breaking the habit physically is a lot easyier than mentally.

Oh stop going on and on you silly little 15 year old child.

Cannabis is NOT physically addictive. Maybe mentally addictive [habbit forming] for some, but that's not addiction like cigs or smack is it. no?

So for fuck sake, shut your annoying little mouth. Go and eat yeah? Fill it with something.

Your always trying to act older than you are, and fucking hell is doesnt half show.

Lol, you need to get your straight, or just dont bother posting.

Cannabis does not cause cancer, infact it can stop some cancers from spreading, and maybe even one day be proved as a CURE.
