lol, pot has nothing to do with it,, it really doesnt
it all depends on the person,,
some ppl see pot as the worst drug,
some see it as a medicine,
in both cases, both are correct,
the ppl with weak will power and self control see pot as a very dangerous substance(not physically, but mentally dangerous), this also includes ppl with a very addictive personality.
because everyone is unique and different in their own ways, each person has a different outcome with substance abuse..
i know this because of my experiences and in many cases, have witnessed many different outcomes from multiple people with marijuana abuse,
but even the ppl who have those problems listed above, can turn out well with marijuana abuse,
it all has to do with mind control and self-disipline,
in alot of cases, the reason why ppl cant seem to quit marijuana after years of abuse is because they have grown into the habit of lighting up and it has adapted into their minds that this is what they do.
also, smoking mj habitually can create slight physical discomfort when not under the influence of the substance,
the reason is because marijuana effects the immune system,,
the immune system is one of the most important parts in the human body, as it fights off bacteria and viruses to keep u looking and feeling good..
but because of this lack of power in the immune system, ppl may not feel as good mentally and physically as they once did when they were MJ virgins(when u never smoked)
because of this, the human mind automatically thinks they need MJ,
not because it feels good to be high, but because it feels bad being sober,
the first thing the human mind detects is discomfort in the body or mind,
any form of discomfort will be rejected by the brain (meaning the human mind with attempt to find ways to either get rid of this discomfort, or somehow delay it) . because the mind has the knowledge that MJ can delay the discomfort, some ppl canot control themselves and give in.
others in some cases understand that MJ will solve the problem for a period of time, but know that in the long-run, will not help and just cause them to go into a endless cycle.
the ppl that do not give in are the ppl who are very well disiplined.
disipline is the main key to all this, without it, ur hopeless, really.
self-disipline causes the mind to realize and accept harsh realities, but at the same time, not give in and fight it.
fighting it will be uncomfortable, and will make the human mind weaker and think less critically(reason why ppl give in), but when the disiplined part of the mind kicks in(not everyone has this, but anyone can learn it in time, it all depends on if u chose to or not), it takes the discomfort and pain, analyzes it, and learns to cope with it or deal with it. that is when the overcoming process begins,,
some people dont even need to take these baby steps to achieve their goals to quit, this is because they grew up very disiplined and and have this skill already nailed down. all it takes for these ppl is a quick thinking, and then accepting and agreeing to it.
having urges and times of low does not mean u have weak disipline, because EVERYONE goes through this, disipline just helps keep these negative effects in check. so just bcuz u feel like ur about to to give in and have all these urges, doesnt mean u have to, it just takes time to cope with it and accept it. all in all, anything can be done or achieved when u put ur mind to it,, its no different then putting ur brain to the test, some fail some pass.
