Marijuana Is The Most Insidious Drug There Is

Quitting isn't difficult. It's your choice. There are minimal withdrawls, everything else is will power. If you think it is hard to quit for life, and you want to, then you are WEAK.

It's not like alcohol, benzos, coke/cocaine, meth, heroine etc because the WDs are bullshit, you have trouble sleeping for a bit maybe a little bored during the day but that is it.

If you notice it makes a negative impact on your life, that should be enough to quit. Like I said, if not, it's you, not the drug.
 
I lost my chunk of hash somewhere in my apartment about 3-4 weeks ago.

I looked for a while and wasn't able to find it. I then decided it was time to give it all a rest. I found recently my heart was racing when I was high. This was not comfortable.

I've been smoking on and off for many, many years.

After I've been away for a while, I start to get a bit edgy. When I start back in, the edge is blunted and sleep is easier. The tricky part is smoking only enough to take the edge off daily living. What seems to happen though is that over time, the drug builds up in me. It has certain unwanted effects, like making me a bit more introverted than I want to be. It gets easier to stay at home, play music and just kind of hang out solo.

The thing I'd like to figure out - and what seems so hard to see clearly - is at what point I've crossed from getting the desired positive effects to having the hash/pot running my social time i.e. 'I could go out and socialize, OR I could stay in again and get high.' It becomes quite easy to tell myself that chilling is good when I suspect that too much chilling is counterproductive.

Indeed. This makes sense to me.
 
Bah stop complaining. If you play it right, you can live a full and happy life along side weed. Why do people have this "all or nothing" mentality? Drugs are in every aspect of our lives, biologically and just about in all other ways.

my problem with weed is I can never see myself ever quitting. since there are no immediate health concerns, there's no reason to. And when I dont have it, my quality of life decreases noticeably. [at least for me] weed traps you because it appears so harmless. I don't know about you, but I dont know anybody that has smoked marijuana for a significant amount of time that has ever been able to quit

If you don't see any problems then why are you worried about quitting, if it's not messing up your life?

Wait a minute, I bet you were high when you wrote this stupid post and came up with all these stupid concerns, CHILL!!!!:|
 
i smoked from 15 to 35 everyday... have not had a puff in 8 months... figured i would take a month break and it just kept rollin.
 
first off, why would you want to quit for life? if you took a two month break you've more than proved that you have the will power to quit if you needed to
also, many people lose interest in pot as they grow older, but if you don't, more power to ya, I wish there were more old stoners still around personally

you could also think of it like drinking, same concept different execution and end result though, even my grandmother likes to have a glass of wine every now and then, and it sure doesn't rule her life (as far as I know)

pot?

i have no idea why you'd say that.. but do you see how that says a lot more about you than it does about me?


i didn't mean to challenge anybody's comfort, wallowing around in their own perceived addictions.... i'll stop posting in this thread

some people just can't conceptualize that they are in control and not the weed... lol.

sorry if i offended anyone

i hope none of you ever truly find out what it means to be addicted

oh and bogey i smoked for over 20 years, daily, all day long. i still have my doctor's recommendation for buying medical mj at co-ops in L.A. the reason i smoked was due to debilitating pain from a nerve injury.

when i stopped, i stopped cold turkey and it wasn't hard. i had some insomnia for a couple of days and my appetite was weird for a couple of days too. after that i was fine.

yes, stopping smoking weed could be 'hard' for some people but in the big scheme of things, compared to most things you can get addicted to, it's not that big a deal.

if you feel 'addicted' to weed, get down on your knees and thank your lucky stars that's the worst thing you have to deal with.

with other drugs (heroin, cocaine, meth, etc.) there are immediate health risks, physical deterioration, and possible death by way of overdose or other complications, that will make the user want to stop. With weed, there are none of these concerns. There is no real reason to ever quit weed. To take breaks, sure, but to quit for life? Why? unless you're being randomly drug-tested there's no reason to. And thats how it gets you. I'm not bashing weed, I LOVE IT, but after a 2-month break of seriously trying to quit i'm back smoking it everyday, and i notice my quality of life has drastically improved.

I haven't read the whole thread but I'm wondering how you can tell the quality of your has drastically improved. Sounds like you might have a lot to be grateful for!
 
I think weed is a great drug - it does make me a bit introverted though. With weed, I appreciate more things in life - especially music. Music without weed is almost not worth listening to if you ask me lol

I smoke everyday, and I don't see any reason to stop. The only problem is that it costs way more money than it's actually worth.
 
too much weed depresses me. sometimes when i get high i think all this weird shit. i'd take Heroin over weed any day. weed can be fun, but after awhile it gets old.
 
It's ridiculous that people refuse to believe that weed is an addictive drug. (Not like that isn't a reason to use it, anyways, hehe)
 
I smoked daily for 11 years and quit cold turkey with no problem except insomnia for a few weeks. I've been a daily oxy user for the past 4 years and quit one day before going back because of w/d's. There is no comparison about the addictive qualities of these two drugs.
 
It's good that that worked out for you. I have friends who can't get through their day without smoking up multiple times.

It in no way compares to any hard drugs, but it's an addiction nonetheless.
 
I would venture to say it is one of the lest addictive drugs. Hell, I know people that can't go a day without a cup of coffee, but you don't call coffee insidious do you?

Anything has addictive potential. With weed, it is psychological. I think it has the same potential for addiction as being in love with basketball. For most, I think it is a phase.
 
Sorry, but comparing weed addiction to coffee addiction or liking basketball is completely moronic and you know it.

On the subject of physical addiction, CB2 receptors are expressed solely in the immune system and in stem cells. That's as physical as it gets.

heres what i would do. put weed in their food. then give them a complete bunk pill (sugar pill?). tell them its ecstasy. then when they get high off the weed, they'll think its the "ecstasy." after they have a fun time, tell them it was weed. 8)%)
