Addicted to marijuana

Anything can be addictive. However, the degree of addictiveness is different for different things.
Using 10-30 mg of heroin for 9 weeks and then stopping will probably be worse than smoking .1 - .5 g of bud for 9 weeks. However, if you haven't had experience stopping heroin, than stopping bud could easily be the worst feeling you've ever experienced. And feeling the worst you've ever felt can easily lead you to taking another hit...whether it be heroin or weed.

Imagine a drug that was more addicting and pleasureable to those who like opiates as their DOC. Now imagine having to quit it. Quitting opiates would be easy. Subjectiveness is a funny thing.
 
I think marijuana is addicting mentally, yeah if you toke up everyday and you stop cold turkey... your probably not going to sleep or be hungry for a few days.

I think its more mind over matter, if you stop toking just know that you will be okay with out and that you can choose to toke again whenever you want to.
 
some people rely on weed far to deeply for company or sedation, in all honesty if you can't sleep without a hoot then your just trying to hold out for a hoot somehow...
 
Ok, this thread is full of malarky
First off, lemme tell ya'll something. I've smoked constantly because I'm a bit of a rageaholic (thanks mom and dad!) In junior high they put me on meds to "even me out" all these meds did (ritalin, prozac, adderall, seroquel, lamictal, concerta) was mold me into a suicidal 13 year old with a penchant for beating the shit outta kids that picked on me for being "ginger" (and fuck off to the first person who rags on me for it, I'm hating you ahead of time) All that hatred for the world was superceded once I smoked weed for the first time (which I wouldve never done if they hadnt crammed me fulla pills for years on end) I need weed, its part of my life, I can live without it tho, seriously. Withdrawals are just an excuse to bitch, its not heroin after all. I've gone thru many different types of withdrawals and conquered a few addictions, survived a few od's (od'd on 270mg of morphine, put that in ur pipe and smoke it) And I'm perfectly fine. I'm sober from everything at the moment, but I still love weed. Just deal with life, don't use weed as a crutch and it won't fuck you over. Its not there to end all ur problems, its a plant that wants to be ur friend. If you depend on friends constantly and never give back, they desert you. I'm happy to say that I haven't smoked weed for at least a week now, and yes I've been waking up in cold sweats at 4am, vivid dreams yada yada....but thats what makes life interesting! If yo shy away from everything and just smoke all the time and stop abruptly, its gonna fuck with ya
My 2 cents

And stop raggin on the mods ya buncha rugrats!
 
i'm not sure why people discount marijuana as a potentially addictive drug just because its addictive qualities are less than that of harder drugs. i've heard too many people say marijuana is not addictive because its not AS addictive or the withdrawls are not comparable to another drug. most commonly people say something along the lines "you think weed is addictive? try heroin. you don't even get withdrawls from weed, so how can it be addictive?". i get what they are saying, and it makes sense- cannabis addiction is comparatively easier to break than say heroin or cocaine addiction. there is no doubt in my mind about that, but in my opinion weed is partially so addictive because its mild side effects. i can smoke it everyday and the side effects are, for the most part, forgetfulness, lethargy, lack of sober appetite, and irritability when sober. i can hold a steady job and even progress in my occupation and smoke weed at the same time. its not so much that i can't quit but i lack a real reason or motivation to.

anyways, i think blow monkey put it best. awesome links dude.
