you're addicted. wow, everything is so much simpler than you'd expect.

can't be physically dependant on weed, there's nothing in it that's addictive (chemically) however, i'd say i'm extremely mentally addicted to weed.

Mental Addiction.

Physical addiction is non existant.

Quitting may cause you to experience series of mood swings, depression, hyper sensitivity, short attention spans, sleeping issues, ETC ETC although none of this is medically proven 100%

weed pretty much cures all of that in me, so yea i'm sure, if i stopped using my "medicine" they would come back or "cause them"

ever just wanna bitch slap the govt.? i mean seriously -.- so many people want to do it, not letting laws stand in their way, it's been proven (and obviously accepted to soem extent by the govt.) that it has medicinal properties.. so wtf keep it from us? i'm almost damn positive if all of america was required and did vote on the subject of "keep weed illegal and keep tobacco legal, or legalize weed and illegalize tobacco" mostly everyone would vote for weed, and an extremely high percent of those who voted to switch the rules would be tobacco users, as in 1-2pack a day smokers, including me.

i honestly don't believe it's about anything anymore other then the govt. not wanting to eat their words.. i mean we ALLLL know the govt. sticks lies to us like flies on shit... but if they were to admit it.... it would like "destory their character" (as if they had one)... i wish a woman was in charge.. atleast there is far more less of them that dont' mind eating their words over something so stupid then there are men...

i'll take this one step further

mood swings

who can have mood swings when you're glued to the couch laughing your ass of about nothing? and when have you ever seen an angry pot head, i mean sure some people do get mad while they're on it.. but shit like alcohol fuels it..

depression

all i have when on weed is happy thoughts, hence no depression

hyper sensitivity

not sure exactly what this is, but there are two things on my mind, one of which weed stops, another.. well tha'ts not so bad....
1st one i was thinking, is like having a shitty immune system, but not just for the immune system.. like it makes you more likely to get sick.. which it doesn't i spent a good portion of my life drug-free and was sick like a normal person, the next portion was spent smoking weed almost constantly.. i get sick like once every 1-2years now. 2nd can have it's ups and downs, which is directed to the sense, getting off while on weed is wonderful (touch) food is the most amazing anything, you can be given shit you never liked before on weed and suddenly it's the best tasting thing you've ever had. the only real problem this type poses, is sensitivity to light and sound

short attention spans

well, i suppose if you didn't know me you would think that this is caused by weed... but i have an extremely short attention span while sober, and have for most of my life, when on weed, i can zone out on whatever i'm doing, thus i have greater concentration, which means it doesn't create short attention spans, rather it enhances it

sleeping issues

i've had severe insomnia all my life... as some of you may know, it takes me many times the normal dose to go to sleep. while on weed, i don't even need medication to go to sleep, because of the control i have over my high (of course this only to a certain extent) i can control whether my high turns out lazy/slothish or go too much energy i'm running around like a crack head, so that means while under the influence of weed i can relax myself to the point of being able to fall asleep, and stay asleep like a normal person would.

after reading this i'm sure, that someone is goign to ask why i'm putting all this when it says that getting off weed may cause these problems. here's the point.. i've had all these symptoms since well before (5-10) years before i had even ever thought of doing a drug, i mean this early in my life (where even the last of the problems developed which would of been 3 or so years before i ever first smoked) where i thought the first toke would kill me instantly. upon doing weed, ALL of these, and others not listed, were corrected just by smoking weed. so the govt. is ass backwards, they say it can cause these problems when in reality, it only helps get rid/lower them.

i have a theory that marijuana or drugs are taken in by crazy people, or different from norm personalitites. we inherit these "problems" and smoke marijuana at the same time and all of sudden they put it off on the drug. it's not like the government doesn't already label people...why not?

[smoke ranger]

its all mental, I have the same problem

Quitting or stopping can turn you into a person you just dont wanna be.I love getting high just like when the suns shines on my face warm an spiritual.Smokin herb has changed me for the better so if I'm addicted its a good addiction.But not to say cutting down from time to time is good you also gota see the world for what it is or the way people who dont smoke see it.
