w/d having to do with lack of appetite, insomnia etc. are symptoms of physical addiction.
Source please.
if you experience lack of appitite when ceasing cannabis use does this not mean that your body had previously relied on cannabinoids to regulate appetite?
Possibly, but that does not necessarily mean it's a physical attribute. When you're depressed and lose your appetite, is this a mental or physical disorder?
This kind of stuff is easily found on the internet you know... also did you notice your one of the only people in this thread trying to deny what science has proved? i love pot as much as any stoner, probably more so, i havent got it out for the herb or anything its just the pharmacology of cannabis dont take it personally..
Would you like to elaborate on the science I'm denying? I don't see any sources at all. I'm not taking anything personally, I just believe that you're incorrect on some things things, likewise you feel that way toward myself.
"Dude... we have dopamine, serotonin, adrenaline, insulin and many, many thousands more drugs in our bodies. Are these not drugs? You disagree that our biochemistry is dependent on "drugs"?"
no, those are not drugs, those are called neurotransmitters....
–noun
1.Pharmacology. a chemical substance used in the treatment, cure, prevention, or diagnosis of disease or used to otherwise enhance physical or mental well-being.
Insulin is used to help those who cannot produce it themselves, treating diabetes and thus and enhancing well-being. Adrenaline is used to resuscitate people when arrested, thus enhancing their well-being. There are various SSRIs which regulate Serotonin for depression, treating depression and thus enhancing mental well-being.
Just because something is classified as "mental" does not mean it's intangible and in the mind. EVERYTHING comes from chemical balances, so you could say that everything is physical.
While those drugs may act as neurotransmitters, there's no denying they are also drugs.
if your body does what it does, drugs not involved, just neurotransmitters and stuff, this is not altering the way a body functions, this is a body functioning...
What? "Stuff"? Ironic how I should read more on pharmacology eh?
i do agree wholeheartedly about the importance of mans relationship with psychoactives though... you sound like me a few years ago, cool it a bit man, not everyone cares and you seem like you could stand to delve a little more deeply into biochem/phamocology/
i dont really understand what this has to do with the thread though?
Someone mentioned the type of addition, or lack of, so I thought I'd give my opinion. You can do this on this forum, can you not? This actually has everything to do with the thread, as the title implies the problem with an "insidious" addiction or problem.
I need to delve more into biochemistry/pharmacology? You're claiming things as fact without sources. I only gave my opinion to begin with!
Listen mate, I'm not trying to stir up arguments or anything, I just like knowing what's true and what's not, that's all.
Anyway, fuck it. Let's have a biff and share peace
