I find that weed is way more about boredom than anything else. I use pills because I like the way they feel, I use weed to fill up time.

Sounds like the problem was you and not the weed then
I think that is the point though lacey. Weed can cause significant problems when withdrawing, usually for people with other issues. People in this thread is implying that there is something actually wrong with experiencing mental disturbance, and trying to counter-act it with weed, and unfortunately magnifying the original issue. Whilst there certainly is something not so good about that sort of behaviour, I don't suspect its that rare on Bluelight.![]()
2) physical addiction - bodys organs start to become dependant on the drug to function properly so upon sudden 'quitting' the organ/s will not function properly or shutdown so the body tells the brain hey I seriously need that shit.
swilow said:Thats just not true. The brain is the place where addiction lies, in the receptor pathways. Not in the body as such. The addiction can of course manifest physically. I've never heard of psychosis from cannabis withdrawal; and there isn't much evidence to prove that a heavy smokers brain is----
actually I just fully read your post and I have no idea what your talkaing about.

but ofcourse marijuana withdrawal is worse than fucking cigarettes withdrawal.

Or maybe "troll" would be the better response....

Ciggarettes, now that was a completely different story.

your respone is exactly the type of discussion Im trying to get at, I dont proffess to have all the answers and I would suggest you dont either - you are essentially now saying that all addictions are psychological in terms of 'receptor pathways' in the brain but that the addiction can ofcourse manifest itself physically?? that doesnt particularly help
my general query is defining psychological addiction as opposed to physical addiction and hence also the withdrawal affects of each - while also stating that THC is a physical chemical that does affect the brain and therefore why do people dismiss cannabis withdrawal as only being mental like it is weakness of the mind rather than a physical/chemical craving for THC in their brain
merrygoround said:The problem was me? So i was the problem i got addicted to marijuana? Addictions only occur from substances that are addictive. Many addictions can cause death, as i'm sure your aware of, so to say that " i was the problem" only indicates your sheer lack of knowledge in this topic. Buddy if you've never beem addicted to pot, or anything, which it sounds like you haven't, then don't post stupid comments like the one you did.
And as for the whole "troll" thing? Mate, that just confirms to me that your thoughts and intentions are just FULL OF SHIT![]()
swilow said:A brain addicted to opiates will stop/reduce producing natural endorphins, which, when the artificaial source is removed, make you withdraw ie. feel like shit due to the plethora of things that endorphins and counterparts are required for. THC is a weak agonist, and doesn't create a massive imbalance in endogenous neurotrasnmitters that takes a long time to correct.
I find weed unbelievably addictve; but I know that, for me, it is psychological. I feel upset and anxious when I have no pot, even if Im not gonna smoke that day, and usually get really wound up during the process of scoring. This has distinct and negative physical side effects- anxiety, nausea, sweating, anorexia, etc. These feelings are the same as when I quit pot against my will. Howver, when I tell myself I'm not going to smoke for three days and really mean it, I don't get any real symptoms, except extra clarity and extra stonedness when I smoke. The fact I can introduce 'marijuana-withdrawal' symptoms in myself makes me feel it is a psychologically based addiction, by and large. Weed is as addictve as you let it be. AFAIK THC doesn't replace the producuction of endo-canabinonoids as it is a partial agonist; leaving the brain to still do a fair bit of whatever the cannabinoid system does.
