:mad:I thought we all agreed it wasn't addictive.Quote:
Palace Theatre: New Haven, CT - "[For some people] it brings out the best in their genius. And man, I know people who smoke some pot and they can't do shit. So, I'm not down with addiction."
I think I'd like to burn one down! :jointsmile:
I dunno, I dont consider pot an addictive substance, but there are a lot of things out there that are addictive. From drugs to stealing to sex (my personal favorite ;) )
i agree w carinia, i get crabby when i don.t have my cheeba.
MJ is def addictive. But who cares? So is everything else in this world
the guy playing the bongo, if thats wat its called, was awesom
its not addicting. if you are one of those guys who can't do shit when you are high, then you shouldnt be smoking weed.
In my opinion its not addictive, its a thing that people like so they want to do it alot, and is automatically labeled as addiction :( ..btw that song was great :)
Now cannabis is not physically addictive like opium or alcohol... but it can certainly become very psychologically addictive. Studies have shown that and anyone in Marijuana Anonymous can tell you it first hand. Drugs that alter your mental state can be particularly addictive in that way. A person may start to depend on the substance for their enjoyment of life... that is the problem. You should see the benefits to being high, and the benefits to being sober... and be able to enjoy both in your life.
So I agree with Ben. It's the difference between use and abuse, between enjoyment and dependence. Enjoying something that promotes joy in your life, or peace, or fun, or expression, or whatever... that is wonderful. But depending on a substance for those feelings is a bad thing. You should be able to have similar feelings without weed, and just use the weed as a way to experience those feelings from a different angle... and in moderation at that. Moderation is the key. I'm not drawing a line and saying how much is abuse. Each person is unique and has to decide that for himself.
well, i would consider myself addicted on cannibis, but, i have it in check, it doesnt rule me, and while it allows me to have fun if im just sitting around that is in no means what i like to do, i will go out, and stay in the park all day, i will stimulate the economy by buying compulsivly large quantities of food. It is a way to enhance my uptime, and consume my downtime. It brings me closer to those who share, and i share as well, and has me valuing my money.
