Addicted

[DubSack13]

maaan, if you think you are addicted, your addicted. one of my buddies used meth for a month, hes the most hardcore guy out there, i told him he was addicted and he said nah fuck that shit, he quit using meth forever the next day. i mean its all in your mind,if you think you can do it you can. i dont know about you but id feel pretty pathetic if a fucking plant conqured me.

I don't care what anyone says, it IS possible to be addicted to weed. I mean even if its all in the mind, then I am most definitely mentally addicted. But it's like I can't even eat anymore unless I smoke. It's to the point that I have to force myself to smoke to even eat. And I always have to smoke atleast a bowl before I go to bed or I'll be up all night. Anyone else like me?

You arenâ??t addicted. You just formed a habit. Do this, have no weed in the house and do not buy anymore. If the next day you are vomiting up your guts, cannot walk, cannot think, have a massive headache, and want nothing in life, but a fat blunt then you can say you are addicted. No withdraw = no addiction.

Yeah its all about self-control. I have stopped cold turkey numerous times. But its different for everyone.

How many of you here have actually BEEN addicted to something.....physically?

I have.....and as far as I'm concerned those (unknown american and rebgirl) who walk around talking about "self-control" and "willpower" strut around proudly talking crap and telling everyone else how life is done OBVIOUSLY don't have a clue. So you've seen addicted people unknown american? Whoppee! I'm so impressed. How about doing it yourself before you decide what is what for everyone else?

I have. And it cetainly wouldn't occur to me to walk around telling everyone that in order to solve their drug issues they should just "shape up."

This place is REALLY going downhill.

As a former case worker for addicts I am was there when people went into withdrawal.

I have seen what it does. However the post was about weed which is not physically addictive.

Perhaps you will read what I said before you make judgements on me.

Weed is not physically addictive.

Guess I must be stupid since I dont see the word PHYSICALLY anywhere in your post.
Yes....if you had CLEARLY stated physical addiction I would have agreed with you.

But if you are a caseworker who does not believe in psychological addiction....then I'm certainly glad you are not mine.

I stated in the first paragraph that it was only in your mind (weed smoking). Seems like mental addiction to me.

I stated later the physical symptoms of physical addiction from other drugs. Is that simple enough for you?

My post was clear enough.

when my parents took away my pipes i started smoking less. just leave your piece(s) in the care of a friend for a week or two and you'll stop smoking so much.

Please look the word â??addictionâ?� up in the dictionary. You will find that saying â??Psychological addictionâ?� makes no sense. Psychological addiction is just a phrase that people use to group weed in with cocaine and heroin. He has a minor habit not an addiction. You can form a minor habit with anything. It isnâ??t the substance you are using that is addictive. Iâ??m kind of shocked that I am on a pro-marijuana forum arguing this. Next week am I going to be arguing that it wasnâ??t the weed that caused you to snort the line of cocaine?

Bottom line is, itâ??s irresponsible of you, someone who obviously (Iâ??m going to assume here. Tell me if Iâ??m wrong) supports the legalization of weed to use misleading phrases. Thatâ??s what Psychological Addiction is, a misleading phrase.

Having actually been addicted to a real drug its insulting hearing some guy tell me how his weed addiction is ruining his life. If you believe weed is addictive on any level you really have no clue what addiction is and I would welcome you to test it out with real drugs.

damn people. for those of you who can barley eat or sleep without marijuana, i have one thing to say.

DUDE GET A LIFE...i am def a heavy smoker, but herb is not the end all be all. 2 suggestions that would prob help some of you out. 1, EXERCISE! work up a sweat go for a run, play sports, swim. if you do this your tolerance will go way down

2, GET LAID! use your instincts and hunt your local area for some tail. meeting new people and getting some strange on the side is so much fun! get nice chicky at your place who is begging you to hit it hard and make her scream. what are you gonna say 'no thanks, thatll kill my high. i dont think so, im stressed out, i need to get high i have a headache waaaaahh' lol

exercise and sex will produce more dopamine, serotonin and various euphouric chemicals in the brain. your tolerance will go down. you will take bigger hits. you will always have a steady appetite and metabolism.

sometimes it can be a kind of mindset you get into. couch mode. been there, so i know what you mean. usually all you have to do is just go out of your comfort zone a little, just like other things in life.
