Opiate addicts. Do you smoke pot as well?

Interesting thread. I was a daily pot smoker for years until starting opiates. I find when I smoke

weed now that I get very introspective about my opiate addiction. Whenever I smoke I find that

I tell myself that sticking needles in my arm has got to end and go to sleep feeling like I turned

over a new leaf. Only to wake up the next morning right back at the spot

Exactly man, I know exactly what you mean, minus the needle. Eventually I just had enough of taking a back seat to my addiction and basically letting it rule my entire life. It's one thing when it messes with my life but when it starts messing with my weed highs as well then something has to be done! Haha.
 
I do remember when I first discovered Vicodin, my first opiate, I loved to get a decent Vicodin buzz and then smoke a tiny bit of weed with it, at the time this felt perfect. However I was a heavy pot smoker when I discovered opiates and the more I used opiates the less appealing weed became.

Basically the longer I'd go without weed the more I'd dislike it, I overdid weed for too long though. It may have turned out differently if I didn't start out smoking weed everyday.
 
To shady - yeah bro it made me very upset that it started fucking with my weed high considering weed was my first true love.

to unsettled - I agree 100% I overdid weed for way to long and I feel that if i didnt wear it the fuck out it would have been different.
 
never heard that opiate will make you get away from anxiety problem!!!!
its quite weird... better it is good to quit smoking pot (or weed). Opiate addiction will never give solution to any problem.

Huh?

I think you've misunderstood what I'm attempting to do... I'm trying to QUIT opiates and weed has motivated me to do so. And armed with a virtual grocery list of other reasons, I'm feeling very confident this time around.

If I walk away from this only "addicted" to weed, then that's a huge victory in my opinion and no one is going to tell me otherwise. I never said I wanted to be completely sober anyway. I'll be hitting the bong till the day I die.

I'm not an addict, but I definitely, definitely like opiates better than weed. I hate weed, actually. I don't smoke it. I'll give it another try from time to time, but no... I wouldn't say that I smoke weed.
 
I honestly can contribute me kicking my heroin days to smoking everyday and LSD. The LSD made me sort out my life in a proper manner, and to cleanse myslef of all these bad vibes and go back to a simpler life and that I am slowly losing myself to a fucking drug.

The marijuana made me happy as shit, got rid of alot of the annxiety I had while going clean, helped me stay positive, helped me forget alot of my medoicre troubles and kept me medicated.

That's awesome dude, good job. I love hearing about how drugs like pot and psychedelics help people out of horrible addictions. I haven't done any LSD since I became an addict as I know it would only end in terrible anxiety and a bad trip. But I very much look forward to my first LSD trip off the opiates, it will be wonderful! Just another reason to kick the habit.
 
In high school I was a total pothead. I smoked weed all day everyday for years. Once I started doing opiates daily, I started noticing the effects from weed would get less and less fun. Now if I have any more than 2 puffs, I start thinking too damn much. I go off on wild tangents in my mind about how all my friends hate me, and my family thinks I am such a loser, and everyone just wants me to die.

But not only that. For some reason weed gives me extreme panic attacks now. One night I smoked a few bowls of keef with some friends, and I had a severe panic attack, passed out, fell backward and hit my head on the concrete floor, and had a relatively small seizure. Someone told me I have to piss or shit myself to have a seizure, but I was told I was convulsing, repeatedly smacking my head against the concrete.

And when I awoke, my face was milk white, and lips blue. ???

No more weed for me.
 
I don't smoke weed with my opiates, but I dont really like weed anymore. Ever since I started doing Heroin weed just is not the same. I don't even really enjoy it anymore, and I used to be the biggest pothead!!!
 
I had a moderate opiate addiction for six months, now I use occasionally, and it has been that way for over 6 months.

I have never liked pot before I ever tried an opiate, and to this day do not like it. It has never given me any enjoyable effects. I feel "different" but find the high overwhelming, and do not have any enjoyable effects on it. It usually makes me self conscious, gives me paranoia, and I have yet to experience any euphoria or pleasant effects from it. I have smoked very few times in my life, I've given it a few shots, never enjoyed it, and have given up on it.
