You constantly make an ass out of everybody, you judge incorrectly yourself alot, and I see you acting without thinking then you find yourself dumbfounded, not all the time, not saying I have, but I've seen it happen quite alot in threads.

HERE- I'll bnreak it down for you- a joke, sadly enough ASSUME- ass (first syllable) U (first letter after the first syllable) ME (that goes last). "To assume makes an ASS out of U and ME". There- get it? :D

Thanks for summarising me though mate; your spot on. You may find something else in common with these threads where I get dumbfounded in- you. :) Also acting without thinking- hmm, your not, by any chance, slightly, maybe, possibly, talking about yourself?

To everyone, I'm not trying to start an arguement and I don't find myself as being hostile in any way in this thread, saying fuck you isn't really hostile. It's not like I was sitting there insulting repetetivly, I offered help with information, but I DO NOT support propaganda, and the one who posted above swilow saying it sounds like a propaganda group- obviously. Why else do you guys think I said fuck you to the person?

I think you said it because your immature. Pretty simple. Now go play with balloons or something. =D
 
i stated in my post that weed is a habbit thing, but the drug itself is not addictive. To some it can be mentally addictive, for example those who choose to smoke if they are trying to numb emotions or whatever not saying everyone does that or anything. I myself have had several months at a time where i smoke quite large amounts daily, and i dont have any trouble quitting/stopping for months or longer, but for some i understand it can be harder. I find the best way to help you quit, is to keep busy, find a hobby, exercise something that will distract you, i have always found that the first 2 days or so of stopping are the most difficult to keep those "man i want to have a session" thoughts out. i do not agree with propaganda what so ever when it comes to cannabis use. i have seen some absurd headlines in news papers etc. that have come organizations just like this one. I think that the only respectable thing this organisation has done is to attempt to ask actual pot smokers on strattergy to quit, even though in most cases they exagerate the negatives and use them to scare people.

So, as i have stated, quiting cannabis can be very different for different people, but when it comes down to it all you have to do is stop....if you really are finding it really difficult to quit, chances are thats because you keep telling yourself that, how hard it is for yourself etc.

find something else to do thats all you need, once the first few days are gone it becomes alot easier, well for me anyway :)

ps. everyone chill out its an internet forum ;)

Think about the loss of productivity worldwide if everyone if the workforce was constantly stoned.

Now think about why the Government may have interests in at least some form of Cannabis prevention, especially in troubled financial times like these...

I am sorry but there is no way I can reply to this comment without calling you ignorant. Why would otherwise reponsible people show up to work stoned? Is there a worldwide loss of productivity because everyone shows up drunk? No, people understand that they have to behave a certain way if they want keep their job. I can not believe some people serious think like this.
 
^What he doesn't realize is probably 80% (if not 99.9% ;)) of the people in the White House are high on something; whether they're snorting OxyContin or smoking Cannabis. They are definitely high if not drinking too.

I was always able to quit by first.
Not going around locations where i know people are smoking for a couple days
substitute it with something else
this is fucking absurd
why don't you try smoking it yourself.
MORE beneficial than negative
only mentally addictive
i am not smoking due to urine test
HEY why don't you get on probation and see if you can quit then!

I agree! Why would anyone want to quit except for a drug test. Which isn't really accurate cause just cause you fail for marijuana doesn't mean you're high when you take the test.

True, but if people did go to work stoned, there would be less workplace violence!!
 
Cannabis can be addictive. Not just mentally but even physically. Those who are saying it isn't are misinformed.

Marijuana is a powerful drug that can allow you to forget your problems and escape anxiety. Although it isn't as effective at numbing your emotions as some other drugs like heroin and alcohol, it can be used as an escape, which can in turn have detrimental effects. It probably isn't gonna make you drop out of school but it may keep you distracted from achieving any significant goals.

It also has been shown to be physically addictive when used in large amounts on a daily basis for a long period of time. I myself have experienced this when I was eating massive amounts of potent cannabis treats every day for about a month. I experienced intense sweating and strange feelings of hot and cold. Also was extremely restless and had absolutely no appetite.

I agree that the "prevention" in the title is a red flag but your excessive aggression is still unwarranted. The best way to quit cannabis is find a bunch of activities you can do to keep you busy to keep you mind off of any cravings.
 
^That would be your own personal experience.

Whereas everybody who consumes Benzos or Opiates for long and extended periods of time, then decides to suddenly quit; will experience very similar if not symptoms that are exactly a like

The majority of people who smoke Cannabis then for whatever reasons decide they have to quit, don't really have a problem. Mentally they don't want to quit, that's what makes it so difficult. It's because it is such a great thing, and they don't see a reason to quit (other than obligations which force them to). Like getting drug tested for work.

It's not a physical dependency that they develop, it's a mental one. IMO, Marijuana makes mundane life better, and daily tasks much more enjoyable. When you get used to this, it's not something you want to let go; not because you cant but actually because you don't want to

I think a lot of people create most of these side effects in their heads and if you use anything, everyday incorporated into a regimen. Then one day decide to suddenly stop it altogether, it's going to have some side-effect on your body and mind; regardless of whether it's a non-addictive substance, a food or beverage, a supplement, or anything at all really.

what? she came here to gather information...

and anybody who says that cannabis-addiction depends only from the personality of the consumer, is just wrong. there are many factors that determine how addictive a substance can be and personal dispositions are only one part of them.

what you typed there, is nonsense
 
This thread is stupid.

I see this as an attempt at trolling. When I see a one-post wonder and their one post has a hint of propaganda I exercise caution.

Brainbug, I think the issue with her gathering information at this point is that she has already (likely) made up her mind about cannabis and it's uses. Her group is clearly for prevention of use, not for the spread of information, both positive and negative. The fact that she is pro-"prevention" and does not have information already shows a bias.

I understand this is a harm reduction forum, but there is a difference between harm reduction and harm prevention... One tries to inform and the other tries to block. I would rather be informed then denied (in this case, "prevented") access to something.

I would be more inclined to help the National Alcohol Prevention and information center, as I see Alcohol having more negative effects and potential for abuse then cannabis.

Maybe we all have things ass-backwards. In any case, I meant no disrespect, but I feel I should call it as I see it. To swilow, no harm, no foul, I saw the joke for what it was, though it was unnecessary. I was simply commenting on how hypocritical it was that you were stereotyping stoners and in the same sentence telling them to read more.

Sounds like the typical cliché response one would get from an internet d-bag. :\

yes i thought it would fit in nicely with the clichéd stoner responses already in this thread. "what yoo talking bout i smoke weed every day and it's awesome, speaking on behalf of everyone who smokes weed i can confirm it's completely non addictive and anyone who disagrees is a d-bag"
 
As a previous daily user of cannabis (8+ years daily), I can say that it can be "psychologically addictive" if abused. I found 1 smoke at the end of the day was very rewarding and I don't consider that a real addiction, just a way to unwind like with a glass of wine for some people. But there is a very real potential for abuse when smoked all day every day, I find that ruins the whole point of this plant.

I had to quit cannabis for a few reasons and had to move to the spice blends which gets the job done and then some. I actually find that I am not cloudy headed when the session is done, I am back at baseline. Couldn't have found a better substitute and I do not find this addictive either, time off is not a problem at all.
