Anyone else addicted to MJ like me?

[magicstix]

Anyways I started smoking weed daily at the young age of 11 years old. Anyways I got horribly addicted to that and ciggs. I would always find ways to get weed. It was my life goal to just smoke cannabis. I was also a depressed kid and couldn't give a fuck about anything else other than smoking. Anyways I literally smoked a pack a day and multiple joints a day until I was 16 yrs old. At 16 I gave up the cigs and just chain smoked cannabis. Anyways at this point I would just wake up and take massive bong rips all day long. Anyways at 18 my lungs just felt like utter shit. I went to the doctor and got chest x rays and everything came back fine. LoL you probably guessed it but I went back to smoking all day long again with the peace of knowing I didn't have lung cancer. I would say out of every year there would be 30-60 days of non smoking... so out of 356 days 30-60 were non smoking. Anyways since age 20 Ive tried to cut my use down to just like one bong hit a day or just a few times a week. Much less than my days of 12 yrs old - 19 yrs old. But since its been 4 years since Ive been x rayed.. Im getting all paranoid that I may have cancer or some shit again due to my unnatural amount that I smoke. 4 years isnt much tho. I had actually stopped smoking and ate large doses of marijuana edibles daily for a few months at 21 yrs old... The only way I was to stop smoking was making edibles. (i actually feel like an idiot because edibles are much better than smoking in my opinion but it just drains you much more... I wish I ate the shit since day one). Anywho I started smoking again cuz smoking is just had a less of a load mentally than eating... if I eat it Im just so fucked up sometimes I cant even drive properly. Now at 22 yrs old I have managed to quit weed entirely for a week now. Are my lungs gonna be fucked up? If I don't ever smoke again could I perhaps live to be an old man?

Just curious has any one else abused cannabis the same or longer than me?

I plan just to eat weed edibles at Raves every once in awhile and take my lovley MDMA... Hopefully I never smoke again

at 19 I took MDMA and it became my favorite drug... much more favorite than cannabis... never seemed to have a problem with MDMA tho... I just take it at festivals like 2-4 times a year

Has any one combined mdma with weed edibles? Ive combined methylone with edibles but it was weird I did not like it much...
I find that MDMA gives me an urge to smoke which worrys me so Im just scared to take edibles on rolls because I feel the edibles I make are so strong something weird may happen with the roll.

I mean in general smoke isn't that great for you. I smoke like two packs of cigs a day, and I wish that it were just marijuana smoke. I would think you would be okay more-so than most people who chain smoke cigarettes.

Edit: Also, if your MDMA is quality, the weed edibles shouldn't over power it in any way/shape/form.

You're fine, you're just being paranoid.

smoking that heavily from a young age, i would be more worried about your mental health tbh

Your still young your lungs will recover. Probably.

I started smoking it at 14 and was stoned every day until I was around 21. I never started smoking cigarettes but I musta got addicted to the tobacco in the joints because I preferred joints to bong hits and I didn't like pure weed joints. I quit altogether at 21, went back to school to get my high school diploma, got into university and now I'm in my 3rd year of a chemsitry course. Something tells me if I didn't replace my cannabis use with amphetamine use, I wouldn't be in college right now lol. I don't think I've ever even had a cough since I stopped smoking weed. In my experience, smoking doesn't really damage the lungs much at all. Maybe chain smoking cigarettes for 40 years would take its toll though.

Yeah, my experience backs that up. For years, cannabis just made everything more interesting and funny for me and gave me mild visuals and stuff like that. Nowadays it turns me psychotic. I start hearing voices and have this strange out of body type experience like I'm observing myself from outside my body. It started happening at around 19. All this is a blessing in disguise though because thats what motivated me to quit. A downside to quitting though is it left a void. I used to compulsively smoke cannabis and now that I've quit, the urge to compulsively do something is still there. At first I was compulsively drinking tea. I'd drink over 20 cups of tea a day. Then I changed it into a more constructive compulsion. Now I compulsively learn things from books and the internet

OP: That urge to smoke I believe is a learned habit. When I get drunk (I rarely ever drink anymore but I was a heavy drinker from 12-21) I get the urge to smoke and although I haven't done MDMA in years, I remember getting the urge while on it. I started taking dextroamphetamine after quitting cannabis though and I don't get the urge to smoke at all on it.

I started smoking weed at 12 , that was super occasional , started smoking ciggies at 11 , was pretty addicted by 12 , smoking almost a pack a day by 14 ,
At 15 started smoking weed every day and haven't stopped since , with the same maybe 30-60 days break .

Most of the time I have been smoking with friends , being with friends almost 24/7 for the last 4 years , was homeless for 3 . But now when I have weed I try to only smoke when I'm not recently stoned lol so I still smoke around .5 a day atleast . But generally I smoke 1-3 grams .

Weed is fine for the lungs , no risk of cancer there , it can actually help prevent cancer , uve picked the right addiction (not that there is one lol) however if ur still mixing it with tobbacco that can be very bad for ur lungs still .

I'm hoping to quit ciggies soon :/ I'm only 17 and I've been smoking for 6 years .

Homeless for 3 years? Jesus, the most I ever went was 2 days. I got thrown in the drunk tank the 2nd night and woke up hungover, dehydrated and penniless so I went home and asked my ma to let me move back in. People adapt and learn to survive but it still must be real hard. I headed downtown and spent the first night getting drunk with homeless guys my own age but I was an outsider so they woulda robbed me the first chance they got. Second night I was hanging around with a crackhead who was pretty cool but we were harrassing tourists and people outside nightclubs so the police came, searched me and found my box cutter (you can't stay on the streets without a weapon) and got thrown in the drunk tank. The police were real cool the next day though, they gave me back my box cutter on the way out and didn't even ask me what it was for.

It was actually pretty good , at first I got kicked out for drinking too much , a friend took me in for 6 months and I was getting drunk/stoned every day . Then I had to leave there and idk where ur from but I lived in Sydney , not the city but close and it wasn't too bad , plus I had / have great friends .

Surely enough shortly I got into harder drugs , LSD / ecstasy , then I got addicted to ice and moved in with a psychopath las with a kid who was a 17 yr old shah head who I got into needles :/ (she's clean now because she went to jail after a few months)

then I moved in with the ex girlfriend of a criminal I used to work with who was in jail for trying to kill her . She was using with him and started using with me , then became a prostitute , we went on power trips lol , from there I moved in with bikies for a few months , then back to her then home .

All in all it was quite easy , I was handed everything on a silver plate , and it was so much fun .

Idk about ur area but At my age (17) if we're into drugs we have heaps of mates who use drugs , and are generally scaryish people .
So I never had trouble with anyone let alone When I was doing it rough (on the street) which I did heaps , usually was out of it enough to roam around all night or drunk enough to fall right asleep .

I'm from Ireland but it was in Montreal that I got kicked out of my house. Montreal is a real safe city so I didn't have to constantly watch my back. It was the summer too so it was nice and warm (don't know how homeless people survive the winter). Dublin would be a much worse city to be homeless. Its cold and wet all the time and gangs of scumbags roam the streets at night looking for fights. Then again, if you know the city, its real safe, I didn't know Montreal too well so I just hung around downtown. A box cutter isn't a very effective weapon, if I ever ended up on the streets again, I'd carry a screwdriver. Its legal to carry but just as lethal as a knife. I suppose its all a matter of knowledge. The more you know, the better you can survive. For example, I read a guide to living on the streets once and a trick that I remember is going to food courts and watching. Most people don't finish their meal so its a gold mine for getting free food. Supermarket dumpsters are also good sources because they dump food as soon as it passes the Best before or Use by date. I was able to roam around any part of Montreal at 3 in the morning and nobody even looked at me but in Dublin people are more interactive, they come up to you and ask a question to see how you respond and if you respond the wrong way then they'll have a problem with you. I show everyone respect and most people return that respect and don't wanna mess with me. Also, having a screwdriver in your pocket makes you pretty confident and fearless because you know if someone messes with you, they're gonna be the first to die/be injured. That fearlessness comes across in your body language.

I was a classy hobo , managed to score a roof 98% of the time , food i didn't need too often , when I wanted any I would steal from the shops , it was like my fridge , we used to literally walk in with duffel bags and fill them then leave .

The knowledge statement is very true , I was very knowledgable . I knew where to get $40 free food cards , and I knew which places have the food cards u could use at liquor land / to buy cigarettes . I knew places to sleep , where to get blankets / shelter , and of course where all the bongs / fit packs were

lol this is hilarious. being a daily pot smoker won't make you addicted to the drug, your just addicted to the feeling of being baked, but have not developed any physical dependence in reality. It is just in your head.

And I'm pretty sure many people feel the same way as you...one thing to keep in mind is that you cannot use drugs to escape reality forever. Eventually, the positives will outweigh the negatives. But from what I've read, your lungs are fine and so is your mental health (however blazing at such a young age is not recommended).

For an optimum roll on MDMA, I would take the M first and wait until i start to comedown then dose the edibles. Better yet, smoke a little J on the comedown and the morning after you take the edibles. Trust me, you will thank me later. And from personal experience, whenever I blaze during the comeup or the peak, it would completely kill my roll and waste all that good M.

Yes we all know weed is not physically addictive... any thing or substance can be addictive... and yes I can confidentiality say I am addicted to weed. This does not mean weed it is addictive for all people or hardly any one at all. It just means I have a psychological addiction to smoking and the effect it gives me and that me personally. I also like Alprazolam which is phsycially addictive but Ive never had a problem like it like I do with cannabis. Just trying to say anything can be addictive... even if its not a drug....


Thanks every one for helping out. Im just gonna stop smoking all together... the shit makes me slow and paranoid now... Much love to you all

 

[PeacePipeChief]

Yeah I kno it's not addictive but it's habitual , and I've had this habit of smoking when it's there (almost always) for 3 years , which isnt long so I should be sweet .

 

[treezy z]

i've been smoking weed more than half my life, 13 years now and i'm 25. i'm addicted to weed i guess, i like to smoke it every day but only at night usually cuz i've got too much shit to do to be stoned all day, it puts me off my game a lil being high trying to do shit. but i do like smoking every day and i get a lil pissed when i run out of herb, not bad withdrawal or anything though. i've been addicted to ketamine, uppers, and alcohol, none of which i fuck with now, and my weed "addiction" looks like a joke compared to being hooked on those.

 

[Chainer]

been smoking for over a decade, started when i was ~13. i've never had trouble stopping, especially compared to other drugs... however I've quit other drugs, I've only ever suspended use of cannabis. That said, I've never tried to quit in the same way I tried to quit, say, opiates.

I was one of those people that only smoked on the weekends.

But I was pretty much stoned all weekend, and if I thought about QUITTING, the idea that I would have to watch TV, a movie, or listen to music SOBER on a weekend night, frightened me to say the least.

I thought that without weed, life would be essentially boring and dull. It was not until I quit for about 3 weeks that I really really really fucking felt the benefits of quitting.

Like you know that feeling you get when you wake up on a beautiful summer morning after a full night's sleep and you just feel amazing?

That's the feeling I got every single day of those 3 weeks after I quit, absoultely amazing, energized, happier, and my social interactions got a lot better. The spark, in my personality so to say, came back.

And I finally realized that sober life is not that boring, it is because I was living my life groggy from all the weed smoke which is why I thought I couldn't live without its effects. I really did not realize how easy sober life can be, it is really not as bad as you expect.

This is hypocritical of me because I still smoke on weekend nights before watching a movie or a tv show, as I find it greatly enhances the experience, but I feel as though I will be quitting completely very soon. It just is not worth the grogginess it gives you the rest of the week etc...

Smome is bad on the lung, whether its pot, tobacco or fillers in pills. I am 45 ur old female with urs of heavy pot and cig smoking. I have COPD lung desease and asthma aling with chronic bronchti. Get off the smoke.No smoke is good for your lungs. Trust me. Stick to the edibles or just clean up everything. You have your whole life ahead of you. Enjoy getting high occasionally. The wait makes it better and sober, healthy living is freedom. Taki.g from someone who is dying from lumg abuse. God didnt creates us to inhale smoke regularly. I know getting high is gtreat but if you do it all the time thats your cpnstant state of mind so it takes the thrill away. Do it occassionally and ypu will receive greater reward from the buzz.,

 

[PeacePipeChief]

It has been proven that weed does not cause lung cancer , and can actually belt prevent it and stop it developing further .

Tobacco is simply lung suicide , I really want to quit .

Sorry to hear your story , I ring my mum to say happy mothers day and found out my pop has cancer :/ all the best .

...You basically reiterated what i just said...
Anyways....have you ever considered investing on a vape? It's worth the money if you are willing to buy one. Also, moderation is key for any substances, there really isnt any reason to quit blazing. Plus if you limit yourself to smoking up only once or twice a week and not binge throughout the day, you will eventually find that sweet spot you had during the honeymoon stage back when you first started blazing (no more weed-induced paranoia). And you mentioned using alprazolam, did you abuse it or use it only for recreational purposes? I find that xanax-xr is the best when used in combination with pot, imagine being baked without any anxiety. But I wouldnt drop multiple xanax bars just to nod off, i find benzos have little to no recreational value by itself anyways...just puts me to sleep.
