Lots of good information there! Thank you:thumbsup:

If you can become addicted to gambling, video games, chocolate or alcohol you can become addicted to marijuana, is it really that hard to understand?

In fact, failure to admit your addiction is one of the first signs of addiction itself. I can gurantee that everyone in this thread couldn't quit smoking pot right now, even if they wanted to, including myself.

I can gurantee you wrong.

"For psychological dependency (read chronic, consistent use), Reinforcement is a key (understand both positive and negative reinforcement)."

You should know, as a marijuana addict, that there are no reinforcing properties of cannabis.

But why would we want to stop? Its good for me so I guess I will take a label instead of proving you wrong.

Although tadaa always comes off as a dickhole. He is sort of right. It would make people more ready to believe the pamphlet if you gave the negative aspects of smoking marijuana. Although they aren't very seroius acknowledging the governments studies to a certain extent would make people more ready to believe that stuff. Because there are some. If you smoke daily for a while your memory can get worse, alot of people get a cough, and there are some other side effects I can't think of right now.

If you can become addicted to gambling, video games, chocolate or alcohol, you can become addicted to paychecks and providing food for your family. None of that is the same as using marijuana. Why don't you find me some proof to back up your theories? I always find something to show that I know what I'm talking about, so from now on, unless you show me some backup, then I'm gonna consider you a crazy old-lady going off her rocker, saying "Awww, I've got more problems than Carter has liver pills."

I can gurantee that everyone in this thread couldn't quit smoking pot right now,

I can gurantee that you're not too compassionate and can give a shit about others.

any mood altering chemical is going to have a potential for addiction

[beachguy in thongs]

And find me proof that Cannabis alters moods.

[beachguy in thongs]

To be overly simplistic: If dopamine is altered, then one may be out of touch with reality; if GABA is altered, one may be anxious; if Acetylcholine is altered, then one may have memory problems; if norepinephrine is altered, one may be manic high; and if serotonin is altered, one may be depressed, worried, more irritable, and have insomnia.

Serotonin may play a role in depression, anxiety, sleep, sexual issues, eating issues, pain perception, obsessive worry, panic disorders, aggression, and PMS. Norepinephine may play a role in bipolar disorders, depressions, and attention problems. Dopamine may play a role in a loss of touch with reality, attention deficit issues, drug addictions, and in mood, as well. GABA may play a strong role in anxiety and some addiction issues. Acetylcholine plays a role in memory. Histamine may play a role in sleep and weight gain.
