I got into the drug because of people telling me its not bad for me, its 'non addictive.' Well for all of you who say that, try smoking hardcore for a month and then quitting. For some reason i cant sleep, im not hungry, and im restless... Anyone else with a similar story?

Please dont flame/troll this. thats unappreciated and unhelpful.
 
also, i have been smoking since 7th grade on and off, im in 9th grade now. And i didnt really smoke more then once every 6 months until this summer.
 
Well, despite what ppl might say, my opinion is that its mentally addictive. Ur body gets used to having thc in it everyday, and then cutting it off is a 'shock' to the body. Now u have to carry out a normal day without being fucked, and it feels weird. Plus tolerance builds. Take a month off, and u will feel like its the first time u get high. But within a week u should feel 'normal' again. Also, thinkin about it a lot is okay.
Just my piece of mind. :-)
Peace.
 
I wouldn't call myself addicted quite just yet. I've been smoking for a little over 30 years. Now opiates/opioids and benzodiazepines, I've been addicted to. Big difference. There are some psychological things goin on in your head with dopamine levels and the rest of our happy brain chemicals. It shouldn't be long before you feel ok again.
 
Just taper down, I'm sure it's not going to be that bad if you quit over a few days to a week.

My friend was a heavy smoker. He decided to just quit and replace it with healthy eating and exercise. Said he felt crap the next day but once he got into the exercise he didn't even notice it, kept his mind occupied.

If you really are having problems, go see a doc. They could easily give you a little something to help with the problems.

Oh no its addictive. I dont get why people think its not when people get addicted to everything. Just because its not the deadly withdraws kind of addictive doesnt mean people dont have a hard time quitting.

Mentally addictive like MDMA, you feel you need it. I've felt like I was addicted to MDMA, but being addicted to opiates (and now starting on my benzos) has completely changed how I feel on the matter.

I feel it's something that you could easily overcome, you just don't have a real reason why you want to.
 
All that bullshit about "it's not addictive, theres no withdrawals" etc is all crap. pot is a drug and has addictive qualities. your body might not physically require it (like if you had a heroin addiction) but your mind tells you that you do, not only because you're accustomed but because you realize being sober is no fun, and you'd rather be high.

Pot is a real drug, people who don't believe this are not real potheads, they are just stupid. just realize this, we are all with you here... some of us are just a little cooler and a little older. I've been smoking hardcore for like two years and other drugs came along for the ride within a year... and even more the year after that. Do yourself a favor, kid, if you don't like what a bit of weed abuse can do to you, this probly aint the path for you.
 
That no sleeping and no hunger thing lasts at max for like 4-5 days. When I am forced off pot because I spent my money on other drugs, it never takes much longer. I have a hard time sleeping as well and eating. If this is uncomfortable for you I agree with the above posters. Maybe being stoned all day and moving up to other drugs isn't the best path.

You're still so young, no offense dude.
 
smoking everyday gets boring eventually imo. you stop getting so high, and it starts to interfere with things in your life you need/should be sober for. when i stopped getting high everyday yeah i lost some sleep over it and maybe a pound or two. once you see how unimportant it is to get high everyday/stop getting high everyday you won't have those "withdrawal" symptoms everyday you don't smoke. i think pot is best when used in moderation, i can enjoy it more that way at least. good luck with your addiction.

also i am totally addicted(mentally) to pot still i don't see myself quitting, but i am being smarter about my use and making the most out of it IMO
 
It is adictive nowadays with addictive qualities. It is a psychoactive drug after all. I learned from NA meetings that weed actually contains enough narcotics in it now to make you somewhat physically addicted. Well, at least you get some withdrawal symptoms. Usually just mild anxiety, sleep disorders, etc. Kind of like what you said. I myself am a chronic smoker and although I admit that the mental addiction is much greater than the physical, I'm sure there is some sort of physical addiction otherwise I would have quit myself now..or at least taken a break. Can't even do that without freaking out.
 
It really all depends on the person. I have been smoking on and off for 7 years and I have no problems quitting for months at a time.

It's all about balance in your life - if you smoke daily to escape something in your life then quitting will suck because you have to face your problems. There's a fine line in my life where smoking is either hurting my productivity or relaxing me and relieving stress.

I know im young thats why i know i need to quit, and not waste my youth. or worse kill it, well i really haven't exercised at all since i quit so ill give that a go. Not to say im fat or anything haha, i'm 5'8 and a 110 pounds. I woke up this morning feeling like my mind was on a wave, and i still feel all disgruntled and shit. But luckily last night i got my first full night of sleep i have had in a while, unfortunately i slept on my back wrong so that hurts like hell, making exercising not seem like the greatest idea. but maybe i will go for a bike ride!

well in the month i was smoking, i went through more stressful shit then i thought possible. I realized that my moms an in the closet alcoholic, my dad whos recovering from cancer we thought had relapsed, and my grandma died. so that might be why i feel so shitty.
 
i just realized that i have taken 2 day breaks before, (i'm on day two.) and i havent had any withdrawal whatsoever until now. i think it has to do witht he knowledge that this time, im done FOR GOOD

That really sucks man. Any of those things on their own are enough to drive anyone to abuse a substance. Luckily for you, marijuana was your choice.

After 4 - 5 days I promise you will feel a lot better physically.

If you are having a lot of mental stress from everything going on in your life try posting in the Dark Side area of BL. There are many people in there going through a lot of stress in their lives and a lot of caring folks that have been through a lot and are willing to help.

Based on this highly flawed logic, gambling and sex have withdrawals. 8)

bot sure if that is personal experience of your own, or if your advising me. But i'm definitely not getting addicted to sleeping medicine.

His point was that weed doesn't have a physical dependency.
