Dope addicts: Does weed make you feel weird about your dope use/addiction?

I am just wonderin if I am alone with this one. A couple things related to weed and opiates.

Those 2 always been my major drugs that are pretty much all I need. I got my bud n my dope and Im good. they go together like salt n pepper to spice up my every day life. But there is 2 small problems, not even problems just things I noticed over time and I was wonderin if I was the only one who notices this with them self.

1. I noticed that when I am a heavy dope user that I dont smoke weed as much. now to me that is strange becuz i am a blunt a day minimum type of chick and always gotta have a smoke. i am sure that most of that is related to the fact that I dont spend money on weed when all my funds are goin to diesel. buuut, even when i can smoke for free, I aint that interested in it as I was. I aint as much of a huge stoner when I am a huge dopehead. I guess u only got room for one love at a time or somethin. IDK.

2. When I smoke weed and am gonna do dope ( I am a IV user) it is actually HARD to do my dope sometimes. Of course if Im sick its different but say I have been getting high all day on dope and then its time for another shot becuz I want to get a little higher. Well I get that shot made up and then its like almost hard to put it in my arm. Of course I do it but when Im sober and do a shot its like 1 2 3. when i am blazed, i actually start gettin all deep on it even without wanting to. like "Wat the fuck is wrong with me?? Im stickin NEEDLES IN MY ARM! This shit aint normal!"

I never have those thoughts when I do dope alone. but when weed comes into the mix its like it makes me second guess myself and why Im doing so much dope and why I think its totally normal n acceptable to shoot up heroin multiple times a day. Like it just really makes me think alot about wat Im doin, unconsciously not like I try and think this way.

You know the way that when u gotta drink a nasty shot of liquor u b like , ok let me just get this over with. you sit there lookin at it for a minute kinda lookin at it sideways and then b like OK GO and slam it. Its the same way for my dope shot. Like i will be hesitating to stick it in my vein and have to just make myself do it, I actually feel the needle hurting me and in general it just a really weird feeling. i was wonderin if anyone here is the same way. I kno my cousin agrees with me, she is a dopehead and she hates to smoke weed cuz she says it makes her think too much and feel too bad about all the shitty stuff she done to get dope. Me I still smoke I just find that the weed and dope kind of clash sometimes. Once its done tho the high together is niiiiice and thats why i keep doin it even with all the weird thoughts:D

anyways tho Id b really interested to see any of yall with the same thing goin on....My fellow mods, if yall feel this could fit better in DC go head and move it but I kno that we got our heavy concentration of opiate addicts in here and that is my target audience so I thought Id get more/better responses in here. thx
 
Totally dude. I know alot of ppl that had to qui smoking pot after they became heavily into cocaine or opiates. USually its not that good of a feeling to smoke weed while in W/D. But i love smoking pot while im high. But i know of alot of ppl who just quit all around because the high just wasnt the same anymore. because of previous drug addiction anxiety always seemeed to come up when they smoked weed. This does seem to happen to me to an extent but not enough to make me want to stop smoking weed.

Example. My one buddy said that even if he is really high in opiates at the time..if he smoked weed he just thinks about the negative aspects of his life..ex: his opiate addiction.
 
fuck, i get anxious and over-analytical/second guess myself constantly etc if i smoke weed period. its pretty much the only drug i stay away from. i do heroin tho. i guess sometimes the combination just brings out that negative-thinking(or whatever you wanna call it)side of pot for you
 
I agree, the paranoia that can come on with MJ use seems to be greatly enhanced while I'm on an opiate high. Since I started using more opiates, my smoking has gone down dramatically due to this factor alone. It's probably more common than one would think.
 
im a big meth user, and i get the same. if im blazed and then whip out my pipe, i start getting all analytical and thinking about the negative effects im doing to myself! its fairly annoying i must say.
 
Yea, I dont really mean weed just making you paranoid in general but just the feelings related to your addiction that it seems to bring out. Glad I aint alone tho.
 
I though I was alone on this but weed does the same thing to me. Gives me a total guilt trip. I smoke cigs. When I smoke weed I can't smoke them cuz weed makes me feel too guilty. I don't think it's that related to the dope. Weed pretty much makes me feel guilty about every bad thing I'm doing, even smoking weed. I pretty much stopped smoking weed before I became a dopehead and never smoked weed before doping, only after H, but that was only maybe 5 times in 1 year, so can't tell u whatever weed would make me feel guilty about doing dope but I'm pretty sure it would.
But if I do dope first, then smoke weed, there is not guilt, only weed alone does this.
 
Yea, exactly!! Ill shoot dope and then smoke a blunt all day. but if i do dope AFTER I smoke it becomes hard to do without some kind of guilt or regret or weird feeling or a hesitation to stick that set in my arm
 
Marijuana makes you more introspective of oneself, and that can be a good or bad thing. The stigma society places on the individuals choices as to what makes one feel "better" is the only reason for this guilt, regret, remorse, etc. We were raised to "feel wrong" when we engage in our choice. That is a sad fact, and shows how powerful the government propaganda machine was, and still is. I find keeping busy physically, or doing something that is mentally challenging relieves a lot of that sensation. Subliminally feeling "I'm doing something, positive or just legal, this is a good thing ACCORDING TO SOCIETY!". Once again, the "master of puppets" imprint rears its' ugly head.
 
I hope I don't offend anyone, but could this be a good thing in a way? I don't use H. and personally view it as more harmful/addictive than weed, so it almost seems like a "good thing" to me. The only experience I can have along these lines is with my cravings for nicotine. Marijuana always relieved my cravings for tobacco. Perhaps part of the reason was that it physically suppressed the cravings, but also like others were saying, it made me disgusted with my tobacco use. I'd get the idea to smoke a cig and then think, "wait, I'm not going to risk fucking up my high with nicotine, and I hate the smell anyway... not to mention it's a waste of money that I could spend elsewhere... such as for more weed, which I enjoy far more." I actually can't remember ever using tobacco after using weed, so I don't know if it would alter the high in any way, but I always perceived it would in some negative way. Using marijuana, I could quit using tobacco cold turkey without any noticeable withdrawal when I had a steady supply of weed. It wasn't until after going on probation and not being able to smoke weed anymore (I was going through a really tough time emotionally) that I relapsed.
 
i have never done opiates after getting high, but when i started messing around with weed by myself i would always feel really weird. for about 2 weeks straight i would get high by myself at night and do stupid shit like eat and play video games. it got really boring and made me feel weird, and all of my friends felt the same exact way. so now i only smoke with other people, but i havnet smoked weed in months as i'm concentrating on school now. usually just being/talking with other people takes away any negative thoughts.
 
YES, this happens to all my friends, they all ask me if they are using oxy too much after an L

Me, i used to be an oxy face, now im not an everyday user (from 5 highs a day)...this never happened to me cuz i always new wi was addicted
 
Well, Iv always loved marijuana but when my dope habbit got huge, pot was just a luxery I couldnt afford as much. I still wouldnt pass up the chance to smoke out but it just became something I would only buy myself every now and then, where in the past Id always have a sack but I wasnt useing barley any dope.

As for the way weed made me feel with my opiate use, Iv actualy liked to smoke when I was high. Like taking a hit after taking a shot. I would smoke if I was WDing and maybe be more emotional, but it is more from the enhanced feeling from the WDing, and the way weed also kinnda enhances feelings, so a combination of those can play with you.

The part I like about smoking weed if you were coming off of dope is the way it will help pass the time if your WDing, because time has a way of slowing down during WD. It dosent help with say anxiety, appitite, sleep during WD (I think weed does help with all those things though when your not WDing). It does help the time go by faster though, because it lets your mind wonder when your stoned so it helps time go by faster, witch cant go by fast enough if your WDing. It also helps some with being nasuses if your sick.

everyones dif tho

ive been paranoid when i was younger , and a "beginer"

now im 19, i hardly get high off weed
 
honeslty when i used to WD

alcohal made it worse

Benzos did good and bad...kinda made me feel like shit

weed- makes me think of Oxy way too much

when im WD i usually find that nothing is sometimes better, il blaze anyway, it kinda helps...
but fuck, nothing acutaully HELPS, besides bupe
 
i used to have the exact same thing (no 2) thats why i always smoked my joint after shooting my dope , made more sense that way , can't stand the cannabis high without some benzos or heroin anyway

i think cannabis makes you more afraid of hurting yourself if that makes sense , it always made me feel apprehensive about the needle sting which my mind kinda tunes out usually
 
Uhhh...No disrespect peeps...But this thread is A. Not about just smoking weed and feeling weird in general and B. Has nothing to do, wat so ever, with withdrawals. I dont know how like halfway thru the thread people started bringing up withdrawals and how weed helps or dont help WD's. No offense to nobody but that really aint even close to wat I was asking....I am not asking if you like to smoke while youre nodding either. I am askin one particular thing...jus to clear it up...

When you smoke weed, and then use the opiate you are addicted to, does it make you re consider it, have second thoughts, feel guilty, or uncomfortable about your use?

Like i said...Ill bang dope like its my job and not think nothing of it. But as soon as i smoke a blunt and then go to shoot a couple bags, i am like damn why the fuck am i doin this to myself.

Binge Boy You are right on point. you kno wat im talkin about. especially wit the needle sting. I kno just wat you mean. weed does make you more paranoid about doin anything that hurts your self and that involves shootin up too. good response
 
It works wonders with hydrocodone. It actually works together with it.

I take suboxone and that made me quit for 6 months. So I quit and kept taking the suboxone. Now it's the other way around, you can use it as a tool to get off drugs somtimes.

Usually i've noticed if I quit smoking weed completely not even a little then it's because somthing is WRONG. The weed really will spin people out that have been through hard drugs.

However a stoner whos been smoking for years will just be like " I dont get high". Well quit then and you will....

Lacey K, I can say that somtimes when I smoke. If somthing is wrong with my life, I really notice it, even if it's somthing I always do. However if my life is good then I dont trip and I have a great time... Just depends like you said.

Smoking marijuana has never made my moral compass point north. Weed has away of making whatever feelings you might have enhanced, or more vivid. Atleast with me, idduno about any other stoners or dopeheads.

Like alot of other people here I think, I started out a stoner and then became a dope head.
 
Whenever im addicted to opitates, we have an on and off relationship. If i even have oxy in my mind i dont smoke, cause im like damn, id feel alot better with oxy.

But if im laying in bed dying from wd's ill go smoke a nightcap bowl.
