i wanna know how a 100 dollar a day pot habbit is formed. fuck, bitch must be friedddddddddddddddd.
but seriously, wtf.. bullshittttttt
I agree with it being part of a lifestyle for some. It has become part of mine.. but it's not even on average.. maybe a bowl or two a day lifestyle.. that depends on a bunch of variables though but if i'm alone after work.. a bowl or two is it. 40 bucks worth.. a quarter of reg mids can last me up to two weeks. if not more.

You're the perfect example of a model citizen Stratus... keep sittin' there, breathin' normal oxygen like all the other faggots. I'll be breathing out of a vaporiser, consuming thousands of grams per day, sleeping in a bed of BC bud... and raping cows. Yes, marijuana instructed me to 'go bestial'. You don't know intense sexual pleasure 'til you've bonded with a big furry buddy... and there's those pacts with Kali and Shiva I made last year... ohh, the half moon on a blood-filled day gives me warm fuzzy feelings inside. Hold on, I'm going to murder a virgin in celebration of Canada Day.

Get the fuck out of town. Comparing an extremely addictive substance to a marijuana sounds like propaganda to me. Go to an AA metting or an NA meeting, then tell me your addicted to pot. Tell all the dopeheads there that your severe marijuana addiction is no different than theirs. Actually, just listen to their story and tell me if you still feel the same.
^Word to that. i dont care what people say. marijuana can be mentall addictive and mildly physically addictive if you dont smoke for a few days and youre used to it (trouble sleeping, etc) but to hear someone say how marijuana destroyed their life and it grabbed them by the balls and screwed them over hard with no hope of survival from its horrible addictive powers is like a middle class kid with a 2003 mustang complaining to a kid from the projects about how he has to drive such a crappy, old, uncool car, god, its not even new, and how his family is so poor, and money is so tight, that they had to fire their landscaper and mow their own lawn. 8(

Julia's probably one those ditzy fake bitches that doesn't know life is "real"
Maybe she'll know life is real when I shove a plastic glock into her mouth?
No no lacey... This is a good analogy. It's like an old country hick who's riding a lawnmower, going up to an old (black) cow and saying.. "it's a hard-knock life for us" in that funny high-pitched girly voice from the music video

You would of thought that other drug users would be sympathetic to the concept of addiction.
Addiction is not defined by whether you suck cock to get money to pay for your drug or if you smoke a whole ounce in one day.
I can get stoned on a relatively small dose of pot but if i'm stoned all day and night for several weeks/months/years on ends, and that’s all I think of, irrespective of my dose, doesn't that still make me addict?
For example I was addicted to reading. In fact I would get detention at school for reading. Every waking moment would be filled with the need to read. Now because I don’t suck cock in order to fufil this compulsive need doesn’t make me any less of an addict.
just to clarify;
One of the drugs I believe is Mirtazapine
A close family member is on this and has found to be incredibly successful in helping them off a 20 year pot addiction.
They suffered from insomnia, which they self-medicated with cannabis. This medication has allowed to stop smoking without the terrible mood swings and has given them proper nights sleep (in fact its extremely powerful agent for causing sleep) Not the fake sleep that benzos commonly give (they in fact cause unconsciousness a contrast from the fact that sleep is a form of concsciousness)
Completely inaccurate and stupid statement. These medications do not turn people into zombies – you shouldn’t say things like this. There are so many pot addicts on Bluelight – your stupid statement will only reinforce myths and prevent these people from obtaining help and treatment to control their behaviour.

Very true. But I think a pothead can fend for himself and figure that shit out on his own, philosophically speaking... whereas an addict to something more heavy, like coke or meth, needs a lot more help than a pothead. Like lacy and others have said, if you think pot is your biggest problem, you're a terrible whine-ass and a pussy, to boot. You problem is you have TOO MUCH weed on your hands? The horrors of industrial society...

Yes poor people get the short end of the stick when it comes to addiction and drugs.
Yes they have access to incredibly powerful substances, like heroin which in light of their terrible socio-economic situation can cause them to do what is necessary to meet this compulsion and since they don't have much to lose they'll have a bigger tendency to act out in unacceptable ways (prostitutions, crime etc to meet there addiction).
But do you have to be poor, repressed and ignorant to be considered an addict?
Just because the consequences of the addiction may differ in severity does not in anyway reduce or nullify the fact that they have an addiction. An addiction is wherein one persistent in compulsive use of a behaviour, known by the user to be harmful
Yes the drug treatment centres representative different segments of our society, and yes they're filled with the poor but if you want to just write off the middle class and above as being stupid up town folk who deserve everything they receive (just coz they've got money) then your just being plain ignorant.
On a personal note, I’ve been addicted to everything under the sun, alcohol, tobacco, pot, speed, mdma, smack, gambling, reading and much more, the whole gamut
It isn’t the substance/behaviour and its effect that is the primary factor behind the addiction – it’s the deep-seeded trauma that causes these behaviours.
That’s why all those drugs of comfort simply were just a sub-consciousness attempt to self-medicate and deny my problems away. Thats why abstinence/"say no" never worked because it could never heal, or even examine, the real causes of these addictive behaviours. They were just bandaids to people who had lost entire mental limbs.

WTF I have had more danger to my life on LEGAL, prescribed anti-depressant medications (one almost made me psychotic!)then even the best weed I have ever smoked. Marijuana IS medicine. This article is a crock of shit.

ive got a theory on weed addiction that i think is true but everytime i bring it up my mates say its stupid and i want to know what you think,
when people i know smoke we always cut with tobacco, (to make it last longer and to burn better) but some of them dont smoke ciggerets. would it be possible that they are addicted to nicotine and they get there nicotine from smoking bud and tell themselves that its weed that they want because in there mind they know they dont smoke ciggerets. i think its true because when the people that dont smoke ciggerets dont have a cone they get the same withdrawl symptoms as from smoking.
possible or stupid?

Yo, congratulations, you win the TOTALLY MISSING MY POINT award. lol.
What i said had nothing to do with being poor related to addiction. it was a analogy. a analogy is a comparison saying ___ is LIKE ____. not that its the same thing.
I was saying that a poor person whose car was so shitty it broke down has it worse than a kid who has a new car but is not brand new.
And that it would be stupid for that person with a semi-new car to complain about their car to the person with no car.
And that a person with a nice decent car whining to a person with no car, would be similar to a person who smoked too much weed whining to a person whose life got destroyed and raped by a drug liek crack or heroin.
all im sayin is yea weed can addict some people but it aint a "real" addiction, and laugh if you want to, but being thru much worse addictions suddenly puts your "horrible weed addiction" in a much less horrible light.

This is obviously. exactly. How it goes down. I never used to smoke spun, and my weed withdrawls were simply " aww man, itd be nice to have a smoke". Whereas after 4 months of constant smoking spun everyday, quitting was like " omfg what is this hectic bullshit" though still quite acheivable. Shes from Australia. Shes smoking jays. Shes obviously spinning it. Cut this dumb shit out, stick a niccorette patch on the bitch and send her on her way.
