Addicted

[ldg420]

Marijuana is not physically addicting, however it can be mentally addictive.

:stoned:

[melodious fellow]

Weed has no physical addiction potential whatsoever.

However, one can become psychologically addicted to ANYTHING!

I also cannot sleep unless I hit a bowl or 2. I have insomnia, you prolly do as well.

I would recommend you cut back to smoking only before bed, just like 1 bowl before bed for a week or 2. This is what I do when I need a tolerance break, but cannot afford to lose sleep and be unproductive.

peace

Exactly. Its called self-control.

I totally agree. I have fought insomnia for years. When I was younger I had times when I would go 2 or 3 days with out sleeping at all. Boy was I relieved when I discovered this sweet green leaf. I mean donâ??t get me wrong it isnâ??t the perfect answer to insomnia but it sure helps. Most people find it is their minds and not their bodies that betray them when they are seeking a restful nights sleep. I know that is certainly my problem.
It is true you can become mentally addicted to ANYTHING
I would much better be addicted to THC than some sleeping pill that you donâ??t really know what the long term side affects are!!

It has been scientifically proven that it is NOT PHYSICALLY addictive... But it IS MENTALLY addictive... Its all in your head...

I don't eat without smoking any more I dont sleep well without it. I dont do many things that seem like they should be easy to do without smoking.

Point being just smoke and get over it or stop doing it and after like 4 or 5 days you will get used to it...

And and people who say you dont "crave or Fiend for it" thats a load of bullshit if I ever heard it...

When I dont have t for like 5 days im searchng the house for lil bits of nugs that fell off stems anything that is smokeable truthfully...

It's only psychologically addictive, ie: no physical withdrawl symptoms. If you're gonna be addicted to anything, at least it's the safest drug consumable.

This topic gets so old. Most of the above people have stated so clearly that it is only in your mind.

I have been stoned longer than some of you have been alive. I am currently dry and have been so for almost 2 months.

I sleep when I am tired. I function normally. I contribute to society. I pay bills and taxes. I do not go into convulsions.

I love pot and would prefer to be stoned all the time. But I can function fine without it and so can any one of you.

Now in a month or so I will be stoned all of the time for months on end.

Do I want it? Yes. Need it to function? No way in hell.

If you what to know what addiction is I suggest you hang out with someone who is going through real withdrawal symptoms from drugs that are not weed.

I have seen people vomit for hours wile shaking and can hardly pull themselves out of their own barf. I have seen people go into convulsions and fits.

You have no idea what addiction is.

If you are that weak that you think you need it to survive, you need to quit right now.

Do not confuse your lack of self control or will power with addiction.

Grow up and take some responsibility.

Bro I know what you mean. Fuck the people that say you can't get addicted just coz they don't do it like every hour and they aren't addicted because of that. I can handle a day or two without it, but I end up just thinkin about it so much..Like 24/7.. I know what you mean about eating too, if I'm about to have dinner I'll want 2 go for a smoke just so it can taste a bit better..If I want to tidy my room I'll wanna have a smoke before so I get in the mood..Shits just so much easier blazed!

Its mental addiction. Just because there are no physical withdrawal symptoms does not mean you aren't addicted. If, as you said, 'you think you need it to survive', I wouldn't say that was such a big personal weakness, I'd call that addiction.

At worst the original poster has a psychological dependancy and certainly not an actual addiction, they believe they are addicted and may even feel they have the symtems of an addict but it is all in the mind.
It is down to a dependant nature and lack of willpower.

The worst drug of all to be addicted to is alcohol , a long term alcoholic can actualy die from the withdrawl.
