Got to quit, will there be withdrawal?

[chisme]

yea i was on the bbc news website this morning....and i saw a video of a man talking about his weed habits....he said he was smoking through the age of 18-19 and when he stopped he had major depression.....

but I guess it depends on the person really....dont let it get you down...if its got to be done its got to be done...

bingo baby thats basicly my life story except i started at like 14-15 and im now 19

"addiction" is a word thrown around far too casually these days. just because you want something doesn't make you addicted. if you feel depressed and restless because you haven't gotten high today, it's because you're emotionaly dependant, not because you're "addicted" (otherwise during my teen years I would have been considerably "addicted" to video games and t.v.)

call me emotionaly addicted then either way it sucks monkey anus

[chisme]

p.s allot of people consider their kids to be addicted to t.v and video games and load music and girls and naughty girls and TWINS!!

Yeah I think it does depend on the person.I have the worst addictive personality ever and a 2 day weed deprivation is the last thing my mood needs.I tend to get pessimistic and shit.

psychological addiction is a real thing. it is as real as physical addiction. you cant physically be addictied to food, but people are. its in their minds, but its real.
you will not have seizures from quiting cold turkey, as some really intelligent person above mentioned, but it will still be difficult. this is how rumors get started and then you dont know the truth from fabrication.
as for the addiction to tv and video games, thats just parents trying to scare their kids. the term addiction is used entirely too frivolously when referring to kids, tv and video games. makes me want to smack parents. when their kid is out selling their bodies to get xbox 360, then they can say its an addiction, ok???

note: if your running out of weed save your stems and smoke them when u run out of bud. there was a thread on this earlier today but i figured id say it in this one since its related. the stems wont get you too high for too long, but its better than nothing.

I quit the herb for about a year and switched to tobacco. YUCK!

I only smoked about 6 months but was ALOT harder to quit then the herb.

it will be like coming off caffeine. youll get headches and cravings but nothing a stick of gum and an advil wont cure.

[beachguy in thongs]

Caffeine is much worse. Especially, when you consider that it lowers melatonin levels, like tobacco and hard drugs.

Addiction treatment has become a multibillion dollar a year industry. However, there is some evidence to indicate that there are some physiclly addictive properties to MJ. They are quite mild when compared to drugs like tobacco, heroine and even alcohol, and are often associated with user who are effectively "self-medicating" themselves for other illnesses such as depression and anxiety without even realizing they are doing so. There is also the very fine line between being an addict and just being someone who likes to have a few beers or fire up a doobie. There are those who would call my father a "functioning alcoholic because he has a couple bourbon and waters in the evening before and or after dinner. Also because when he visits others who do not keep much booze in the house, he brings his with him. But I have only seen him drunk once in my life and it has never had an effect on his life, work or relationships so is he an alcoholic or just a guy who likes to relax with a drink in the evening? DEpends on who you talk to.
