Cannabis WTF?

no, just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's doing damage to you...I have lots of friends who don't enjoy being high but I personally do...THe first couple of times I smoked I got really paranoid..but the next time , whenever i would start thinking paranoid thoughts, i would just tell myself it's the weed making me think like that, then i would block it out of my mind and enjoy my high....

not physically addictive?
of course it is, maybe its never been for you, but it has been for me, and every single friend i have who has ever been a huge pothead in his life will agree.
how about not being able sleep without taking 3 gravity bong hits, than waking up 3-4 hours later and taking another just to fall back asleep? how about getting real shaky and sweaty when I haven't smoked this morning and it's only noon? how about not having any appetite whatsoever unless your high, and then even that won't do it anymore, you feel sick just looking at food. These are all symptoms of a physical addiction to weed, and they are very real. granted, they might only occur when you smoke up 5-10 times a day, which i was easily doing, but they will happen. when you've been high for literally 3 years straight, how can your body not be physically addicted to it. if it's always high, how strange will you're body react when all of a sudden your not.
weed is the only drug i have ever been physically addicted to and i binge on many, many, different drugs. the only reason it happened was i believed it couldn't, and treated like it like it couldn't.
peace, outkast
 
Cassiopium --
Shoot an e-mail to me after you've tried it out, I'm really interested to see if that'll help you appreciate and enjoy marijuana more. ([email protected])

Yes, that is mental addiction. And, consider this. When you're high for 3 years, you become used to it. Being sober after that may feel a little like being high since you're not used to the sensations, that in no means is a withdrawal symptom. Just your mind playin' tricks.
And to K A I N --
Cannabis isn't a big deal. If you go into it making a big deal out of it, being all stressed/hyped up, and thinking its going to affect you negatively, it will. Your mind will turn any posative effects right around onto you if you think that's what it'll do. Just relax, don't hype up the experiances, and realize that you're feeling paranoid/weird/high because of a DRUG, and it has nothing to do with your mind being messed up. Simply the drug. Enjoy.
 
I dont think weed and E (and other more harder drugs) should even be compared. Weed is (in my opinion cause everyone is different) a nice, short, relaxing buzz. Many people smoke weed almost everyday and never have any troubles living their normal everyday lives. I perfer going to raves high on pot because I feel more relaxed and in control, but still feel sociable and whatnot. Anyways.. weed is no big deal... relax and toke, or dont bother with it, cause it prolly isn't for you.
 
I absolutly hate the high I get off weed, I get paranoid, my head gets cloudy and I feel really disorientated.
Usually the only time I'll smoke it is if I'm drunk or on some other drug, and someone else is buying.
Not smoking weed all the time is better anyway imo, my friends all piss away a ridiculous ammount of money on weed and I don't think it even gets them a decent buzz anymore.
 
this is my theory:
weed like exagerates and brings out in u the type of person u r
like, if u get all worried and paranoid when ur high, then ur really deep down a worrier, and probably a bit paranoid.
if u get get all creative and imaginative when high, then that wats type of person u r, ur a creative person.
if ur hell funny when ur high and u say hell stupid funny shit, then ur a funny stupid person really.
just my view on this whole thing
 
Ugh nothing personal but nothing annoys me more than someone who pretends to hit a blunt but really just ends up wasting weed. If you dont want weed to fuck you up as much, smoke more regularly. One of the things that really does suck about weed is the tolerance you build for it.

If the above is true, you definitly have something wrong with you, and it's not your habbit of smoking weed.
There has to be some pyscological shit going wrong in your brain becuase if you can't eat without dope, and can't sleep without gravity bong, then your body's chemistry is already way out of whack.
Addictions are all in your head, even though you may be "addicted" to the point your body has turned to rely on a chemical to maintain it's body chemistry, but by this time, your normal body chemistry really isn't up to par, considering it needs a drug to maintain its homeostasis. Even when you are on the drug, and your body is soothed for that quick moment, your more like a sick dog that your just keeping alive with the brethalizer.
just my 2 cents
 
I agree with PhreeX and Citrus. Some people just don't like certain drugs. I've tried both K and crystal a few times. I didn't really DISlike them, but, ya know, they just weren't my thing. Yet I like bud, while the next person (like PhreeX) may find it unpleasant in all aspects. Well, the first time I smoked up, I hated the feeling, but, other than that, or the odd time when I know I've smoked a bit too much, it's all good.
and I would suggest some nice mellow house, or some funky breaky kinda housey tribalistic choons when you're smokin'. that is, if you like house. oh well, have fun doing whatever you're doing.
peace!

Outkast, dont know if you will end up reading this or not but i just wanted to say i think you are very knowledgable. it sounds as if you look past the propagander and come up with your own statement not letting the influence of how other people say it is not physically addictive..it's not physically addictive to a point where you will die without having it but you are very right...i remember a year or 2 back i just started smoking and my plan was to just never touch any other drugs except pot (my dad did, so that made smoking every day an OK thing) anyways it got to the point where i would wake up in the morning with THE WORST stomach pains because of the ammount of food i had consumed the night before and then i would goto school go through school with no food and never really thinking about it...if i did eat it would only make my stomach hurt and then school would let out i would go home meet my friends who all dealt in minute ammounts and we always had enough to smoke n sell all day anyways wed smoke basically from after school until the (bedtime bowl) and at about 5 or 6 i would be so hungry because of munchies and because i had not even a single thing all day.......so i would EATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!! until my stomach hurt again and then smoke the (bedtime bowl) wake up the next morning with the worst stomach ache and do it again...it was an evil cycle for me that made my body so not ready for the marines....had to be asleep by 10in order to get enough rest by 4 in the morning and i wasnt getting to sleep until 2 or even 3....that happened for 3 or 4 months before it slowly went back to normal.....but it's been 2 years and it's still not normal..sorry to ramble but with an addictive personality i think marajuana is addictive..no matter what the books and study's say.

Drugs are so fascinating to those who use them because it alters the normal state of mind. But when your addicted or abuse drugs your normal state is altered. Be Safe, Be Smart =)

A little bit of weed is kinda cool. But on higher doses I get really introverted and don't speak.
It promotes slightly paranoid thoughts in me as well. But if I am I am in a good environment with lots of talkative poeple it isn't too bad.
I really want to like weed , but it doesn't work out that well with me.
Everyone is different. Some people love DXM , but other HATE it. It is just how you interpret the buzz and if you enjoy feeling that way. Weed suits some people's personalities very well others not so well.

spike - if you believe that statement you must believe that you can't build a tolerance to weed, then i'm sorry, but you're either a complete idiot or just don't know shit about smoking a lot of pot. and if you're saying that i'm completely bullshiting or something, then fuck you.
AvGalxy - true, you could argue that it's all in my mind, but then you're gonna be bringing up the debate of physical vs mental addiction. power of mind over body and all that. i personally believe that when i begin taking a drug soley to avoid how my body is going to react without it, than it is a physical addiction. you could argue otherwise.
vinyle groove -same argument you're trying to make, and i still feel the same way.
i'm not saying you're gonna start sucking dick for weed or anything here. all i'm saying is that i have shown physical symptoms of a weed addiction, therefor i believe that weed is physically addictive. and i only believe that it is in the most extreme circumstances. you can all argue it's the mind causing these symptoms considering parts of the brain control appetite, fatigue, etc. however, then you would be argueing that for almost every drug withdrawal (i.e. alcohol), and saying that all these physical symptoms are simply your mind fucking with you.
peace, outkast
 
kain, if you are determined to enjoy pot, then I would suggest doing some mindless gooofy things next time you are stoned, maybe watch a movie, either a straight up silly comedy, or some really silly old stuff, order some good food, and most importantly.... relax. Dont try to analyze how messed up you are or whatever, just laugh your ass off to your favorite movie, and feel like a retard. Maybe get laid, that usually a good time too
smile.gif

But I dont really see necessarily any point to trying force yourself to do something you know you dont like, if you need to get messed up, there are plenty of other drugs out there, and im sure that if you keep at it, you will find the one that is exactly what you are looking for. peace.

outkast,
you've got a good point. the physical/mental/habitual addiction thing really is impossible to determine seeing as I think everyone has differing opinions of where the line is drawn. Personally, I think almost all sicknesses etc are in your head, but who knows. Either way, I think that weed is a mental addiction, but, your mind can make it real. That's why its hard to define. It may become physical, but I still believe that it is all your mind's doing.
So hey, maybe we're both right.

Peace--
