Lame as it is, it did provide a little entertainment and activity on the board. Sometimes you do need an antagonist to make things more interesting.
That is a government sponsered site.

Yes, of course we can believe everything that is stated by our governments.
Hell the United States has a bill going right now that says an scientific study has to be reviewed by the governement before it can be published...
Talk about taking away rights. I don't see how it will pass, but you never know. I'm sure the Supreme Court would over rule that either way.
Your not really trolling though, this is something you really believe based on past posts, I see on an earlier thread where you are arguing the same exact thing.Quote:

You can't deny that you believe what you said though... At least no based on the past post I read.
At least until he discovers internet porn... After mommy takes off the filter on his AOL lol!Quote:

It was just not having that different way to look at things, there is no withdrawral, you just aren't high and if you can't stand that then I think you need to sort some shit out. :rastasmoke:
Cant you see what this guy is doing....TEARING US ALL APART!>
Bud is only psychologically addictive at least to me i dont scratch myself break down into hotsweats or rob convient stores to get it.
weed is probley no more addictive than soda, chocoalate, or sex.
the guy has a point like when i smoke heavily and i all of a sudden run out during the after noon i have a hard time goin to sleep and i get moody for a couple days as well but it becomes that way when i run out and have no more but i can quit even if i have weed because i know its there but i dont want it, u guys know what i mean?

WEED IS ADDICTIVE. Not physically addicting like heroin where your willing to blow a homeless guy for his change cup to get yer next fix. But it is still addicting. I am addicted to weed.
marijuana Is psychologically addictive, but not physically.
It is Psychologically addicting. It happens to me. Hard for me to sleep, nervous, irritable... I just have to tell myself its all in my head and try to get my mind off weed.
i just cant forget the poster that said "...youve proven weed is as addicting than caffeine, congrats...":spamsign: :spamsign: :spamsign: :abduct: :abduct: :noel:
You know what is really addicting?
Oxygen: I cant even go for a few minutes without wanting it.
Food: You know every time I try to quit eating anything for just a few days I get grumpy and all I can think about is food. Then my stomach growls at me, demanding food. It is all I can think of.
Sex: No matter how much I get I always want more. I can never get enough.
Money: If I have been without it for a while my life gets real stressful.
Water: Just try quiting water or any liquids for a few days and you will become real grumpy.
Dam! I am addicted to tons of stuff. Where is the government surveys when you need them?:D
Its all in your head! I've gone from smoking weed every single day, and spending about a a qaurter a day! for about 2 years straight! and then i had to ease off the weed for a bit (no money, go figure) went a good 3 weeks without weed. Sure It was a bit harder to fall asleep, but and I was queazy at times, but thats not symptoms of addictition its your body cleansing the toxins that excessive usuage of weed brings into your body! thats my theory at leats!Quote:

And furthermore:some of those symptons you stated also come from the fact that most weed people buy on the streat is not allways flushed properly, or is not done without chemicals (non organic fertilizers and such) that is what makes ya sick over time if you smoke too much non organically grown pot! When i get the chance I prefer organic, I barely get a burnout when I smoke organic weed.
and you didn't spell Skink with a T,,,thanks...Quote:

Researchers have speculated on potential side effects from the fact that cannabis burns at a higher temperature than tobacco.Quote:

Cannabis smoke contains numerous compounds known to cause cancer. Surprisingly, however, scientific studies have failed to show higher cancer rates in cannabis smokers. A study published in 2006 on a large population sample (1,200 people with lung, neck, or head cancer, and a matching group of 1,040 without cancer) failed to positively correlate a lung cancer risk, in fact the results indicated a slight negative correlation between long and short-term cannabis use and cancer, suggesting a possible therapeutic effect. This followed an even larger 1997 study examining the records of 64,855 Kaiser patients, which also found no positive correlation between cannabis use and cancer. It has been noted, separately, that THC, a dilative agent, may help cleanse the lungs by dilating the bronchia, and could actively reduce the instance of tumors. Additionally, a study by Rosenblatt found no association between marijuana use and the development of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
Like tobacco smoke, marijuana smoke contains tars which are rich in carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which are a prime culprit in smoking-related cancers. However, cannabinoids themselves are not carcinogenic. An obvious way to protect smokers' health is therefore to minimize the content of smoke tars relative to cannabinoids.
The most obvious way to do this is to bypass smoking completely by simply eating the cannabis as "space cakes".
Another way is to increase the THC potency of the marijuana (see also section on potency above). Assuming smokers adjust their smoke intake to the cannabinoid dosage, the higher the concentration of cannabinoids, the lower the amount of tars they are likely to consume to achieve their desired effect.
Vaporisers, by heating the cannabis oils to be inhaled without combustion, almost avoid the risk altogether. A 2000 study conducted by NORML and MAPS found that the two tested vaporizers performed up to 25% better than unfiltered marihuana cigarettes in terms of tar delivery.
Surprisingly, the same study found that water pipes (bongs) and filtered cigarettes performed 30% worse than regular, unfiltered joints. The reason is that waterpipes and filters filter out more psychoactive THC than they do tars, thereby requiring users to smoke more to reach their desired effect. The study does not, however, rule out the possibility that waterpipes could have other benefits, such as filtering out harmful gases such as carbon monoxide.
Not sure what link will take you to this info but you should go to them all.

Shit we're addicted to everything. (psychologically) What does it matter.
So yes, pot is addictive just like everything else you do
Kind of off topic, but I have not smoked for 4 days and I caught a cold! Since I started smoking I don't think I have gotten a cold. Maybe a few times when I took breaks. Does anyone have any explenation?
Woah... step back. The man made a statement, call the U.N!
The dude expressed his opinion and then was ridiculed, and then he provides evidence for his statement and is made fun off. Doesn't matter if he's a troll or the boogeyman, we're stoners, who cares? aren't we all about expressing ones own opinion? or have we become the politically correct puppet masters that holds up a single finger to silence voices not yet heard?
Look past the text and see the concept behind the addiction. Our brains send chemicals coursing through our body, sending signals to keep our hearts beating and our lungs breathing. are we addicted to air and love? Our thoughts and feelings came from somewhere, inside our minds and our bodies turn them into the physical. We can build houses, make pipes, we can create.
addiction, what we want, or what we need? Do we really truly need anything we have? or do we just want it? I'll tell you what i don't want and need, i don't want violence, i don't want hatred, and i definitely don't need to see a group of people i hold in high regard show such ignorance for someone elses belief and or opinions. Let him believe what he wants to believe, would it affect your life if he did so? Does it really matter?... *ponders* Or is aggression towards a differing opinion fueling revolution?
Even the government's studies say that it isn't physically addictive.
Did you suffer insomnia before you started? The reason that I began using cannabis regularly is because I have suffered from insomnia for most of my life, and smoking an hour before bed has always helped me sleep. You may be mistaking the cure for the disease.
I smoked the best bed I could find for about 16 months and then just stopped out of nowhere because my job started random drug testing. I haven't smoked in 18 days. No withdrawls, no cravings, no nothing. Sure I think about how much it sucks that I can't smoke, but it is in no way addicting. I smoked last night because I got my synthetic urine in the mail, but I will not smoke again until my system is completely clean. The last time I quit was for 42 days, also out of nowhere. If you can't quit smoking marijuana, you must just be a weak person.
there's a catch -- withdrawal symptoms, much like those experienced by people quitting cigarettes, cocaine or other drugs, may make abstinence more difficult to achieve.
Total BS! Ive been smoking cigs for 7+ yrs now and have tried to quit and failed over a dozen times the withdrawl is horrible.... due to lack of funds i aint smoked weed in 3 months and have had no problems doing so... total bs lies!
Maybe I am giving him too much credit, maybe i'm not, but the point still remains. Who cares?Quote:

Glad to see this person was removed. :thumbsup:
What a weirdo, one second he's like, "I love weed...I hate weed...love it, hate it, etc and etc" Maybe he missed his medication dose yesterday. :p

break free from the herd

Just because something isn't physically addictive, doesn't mean that it doesn't have physical withdrawal symptoms. The body and the mind are connected; for example everyone would agree that stress is a psychological issue- but it has physical symptoms. Insomnia, lack of appetite, headaches, and even hives in extreme cases.
And to whoever started this thread (they're banned but what the hell)- just because YOU have found that YOU have had physical withdrawal symptoms, doesn't mean everyone gets them, or that they are fact. This is called testimonial evidence, and is far from being scientific or generalizable.
I've quit multiple times for months to years at a time. I had no withdrawl symptoms at all. I stoped cold turkey. When I smoke I smoke hard core. Multiple times per day.
That being said. Weed is addictive. Only not AS addictive as other stuff.
If 50% of regular users of alcohol get addicted and something like 80% of cigarette smokers get addicted then for weed it would be near 15-20%.
To relate that to another substance, caffine is addictive to like 30% of the population.
Weed can be addictive, just not to very many people.

I think the reason for insomnia after stopping weed for a while is that you are so used to fallin asleep so easily with the weed.
