for those that claim marijuana isn't physically addictive...

I agree, if you take breaks in between or don't smoke every day - then it is only natural you don't get severe withdrawals.

i get what the first 2 said also, it sucks, and ive been smoking everyday for the past 2 years.
 
if marijuana was physically addictive dont you think the govt. would have jumped on that bandwagon i mean come on. pot is NOT physically addictive mentally mabey but physically no. the symptoms that the first post guy is talking about are most likely brought about by his mind.
 
everything you experience is ultimately brought about by your mind. physical withdrawl symptoms are very real
 
yer i too agree with, frizzantik

over this way problem alies with smoking in the morning, if theres some chopt when i wake up it gets smoked.. its fukt it gets ya the more stoned cause ya had a good nights rest to get ya tollerance back up a teeny bit.. but ya feel it where off and need more. all ya mates smoke so therefore ya smoke all day till ya get to bed.

i find the best method for quitting is to go away.. totally outa town keep yaself occupied.. keep your mind trying new things...

i can usually sleep alright without it.. and i prefer being able to remember my dreams, but i cant eat.. im too used to having that cheech before a meal. my body needs it, u go to maccas expecting all to be sweet eat one chip and u feel full and sick n shit.. u just think fuckit i wanna smoke just so i can fricken eat.

anyway its time to cut down, nothing gets done and chickys need more attention.

peace ;-)

Q to those who are daily smokers:

Do you still get the munchies? All the potheads I know are thin as fuck- never eat just smoke.

And if you do still get the munchies, are u incrediably overweight?

Only time I ever get the munchies now is after a long break of smoking. If I take a month or so off and start smoking again then I get munchies for about a week then my tolerance goes back up and I don't tend to get them. I also lose appetite when I give up smoking.

potheads are thin as fuck because they spend all their $$$ on pot and not food.

im speaking from experiance! ;)
 
People can say all the want about not with drawling from weed, but i have pretty bad physical withdrawls from smoking weed ALOT for 6 years. I average between 2-3 grams of high quality dank a day, which is most definently enough for my body to notice a big change when i would quit smoking for a few days. Id get sympots like this:
--------------------------
Physical
--------------------------
- Bad stomach pains and discomfort
- irittable bowels
- nausea
- muscle aches
- head aches
- sweats
- & an over all feeling of discomfort
--------------------------
Mental
--------------------------
- Moodiness
- Anxiety
- Insomnia
--------------------------
I will admit the mental side effects are alot harder hitting then the physical, but there is most definently physical withdrawl if you are a heavy user of high quality dank. Its not like the withdrawls from other substances like cocaine, meth, or opiates. But its definently there.
 
The symptoms described are very real.

Pot is extremely physically addictive, and should stay illegal. Anyone who says otherwise is smacked out on the effects of pot and needs to open their eyes.
 
'this bullshit gives pot a bad name'

This is not anti-pot people speaking, this is real every day smokers talking of their experience!

The bad name is gives pot is deserved.
 
well, to answer your question earlier, deviate, no, i dont get appetite loss... in fact, i ate lots more when didnt have any herb... well, most of the time... ive got a weird thing about eating, other than pot and computers and pussy, food is one my favorite things in the world... whether im stoned or not
 
deviate said:
why do i get and all my heavy using friends get physical withdrawal when we stop?

the symptoms:

- increased salivation
- stomach pain
- loss of apetite
- loss of thirst ( i have to force myself to drink to keep from getting dehydrated)
- insomnia
- general feeling of bodily discomfort.

these feelings cause me to seek out pot and smoke it even if i dont wish to get high, i need it to feel normal.


these symptoms are not psychological , there are caused by the fact that my body has adjusted to functioning under the constant presense of cannabinoids. for example, when i havent smoked in a long time and then get high i get all the common side effects, terrible munchies, cottonmouth, etc. when i smoke everyday, these side effects lesson and eventually dissapear so my mouth doesnt get dry when i get high and i don't get the munchies. then when i quit, im confronted with the opposite side effects, instead of cottonmouth, my mouth produces too much saliva, instead of getting the munchies, i can't eat, etc. i also develope tolerance and need to smoke much more to achieve the same high. anyway, i just wanted to post this because i keep reading posts where people say cannabis does not produce physical withdrawal or tolerance and that's simply not true. you can say the withdrawal from other drugs is a million times worse and not comparable to weed, but that doesnt change the fact that weed causes a physical addiction and tolerance. thoughts?

These dudes must be like Cheech and Chong heavy.

Otherwise, BULLSHIT!!!
 
1.5 grams of dank per day is enough to produce physical withdrawal for me.
 
fuck, i smoke nowhere near as much as some of the people online, but even i notice (albeit pretty minor) physical symptoms if i don't smoke for a day or two (or more :P)...
 
Hooked on cronic werked fer me!!

every now and then when i have been smoking a lot and then i stop, i do notice that i really want it but it is just in my mind and i know that im not addicted. i really dont think that my body could ever get addicted. i can just feel that i wouldnt. but thats jsut me.

Sorry, but this is NOT true for everyone. I have used pot off and on for years. Sometimes I use it every day, (but only like, one smoking session usually at night before bed), and sometimes I go weeks in between. There was a time when I also thought it was physically addictive. This was after a period of "all day, every day" smoking, when I first discovered this drug. I took my time away from it, and realized the "addiction" was most certainly ALL in my head. Now I smoke when I want, and don't when I don't want, and I NEVER experiance any negative consequences either way.
I agree with what Sigmasis said earlier, people who feel this way usually smoke constantly...and anything you do constantly and stop will probably have an effect on you. Just because the symptoms are physical ones does NOT mean they do not have a psychological source. Of course you feel ill when you are stressin on NOT being stoned. It is all in your head.
My advice (to the origional poster)is to stop abusing pot. Use, not abuse. Pot is a drug, it is a relatively safe drug, as long as you are not dumb enough to overdo it. I suspect if you cut your usage down to one time a day or less, you will not have these symptoms anymore when you go without.
Good Luck!

EDIT- I just wanna add, nowadays I usually feel BETTER when I go a couple days to a week pot free. I feel..clearheaded, my memory is better, less lazy, etc. I think this is because I have no problem in my own mind going without it, so to my body, lack of this drug is NOT a bad thing.

Physical addiction/Mental addiction. Sometimes there's a thin line between the two, and both can be hard to stop! I don't get that much withdrawl symptoms when I stop for a bit, but I cannot sleep. That is because i RELY on it to sleep. I could never sleep before I started pot, it would take hours, and I would wake up often during the night. I satrted smoking pot every night to make it easy to goto sleep. so ofcourse when I stop it's going to be hard to sleep. I don't get moody and I don't get headaches or anything like that, I feel clear-headed and a little more active than usual.

Every source I would trust that I have seen, label weed as a psychological addiction.
 
i cant say that i experience any physical withdrawl effects I can smoke as much or as little as i want. Most that happens to me is i get pissed easily, which passes in a day or two. If pot effects one enough to be able to WRITE out a list of bad side effects then they are some kind of dumb gay or something (j/k). sorry but it just sounds like a lot of people crying. i like food, sleeping and weed, but not necessarily in that order.
 
The only time i got the withdrawl symptoms were when i was going through almost an ounce of chronic a week for atleast a year, smoking that much chronic for soo long then going cold turkey for a week is definently gonna cause some weird reactions. My body didn't know what the fuck was going on when i stopped, it got so use to waking up to smoking, puffing all day, and going to bed ripped every night that when i stopped things got fucked up. It took about a week of not smoking for things to get better.

I don't think pot should be illegal or whatever that guy said a few posts back, i was over doing it by far in the amount of weed i was smoking & how often i was smoking. Anyone whos an occasional user of weed shouldn't have withdrawl symptoms. If you smoke high quality weed & smoke a decent 2-3 grams a day for a long time you will probably feel pretty physically ill for a week or so when you quit cold turkey. Its not horrible like the withdrawls from other substances but its most definently present. Atleast thats how i see it from my experience.
