Can you get addicted to weed?

[cphilip]

"Both animal and human studies show physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms from marijuana, including irritability, restlessness, insomnia, nausea and intense dreams"

Wait a minute...they gave marijuana to animals? wonder what that did to that poor little lab rat

I know they used Beagles at one time too. And pigs. But they could not afford the food bills so they stopped.

[JimmyBeam]

Nope... its physical too. Trust me it can indeed be.

Now will "YOU" become addicted? No one can really say. But you "COULD" is what I am here to tell you.

well send me some of whatever it is your smoking, because ive smoked insane amounts of weed in my life and the addiction has never been physical. ive done other things and felt the physical need to do them again, but ive never felt that from pot

Personally, I could ever be addicted to pot. I was at the point of doing it for about a year, two or three times a day. One day I said screw it i'm stopping, and I stopped without any problems, cravings or anything. On the other hand, I know people who I think are addicted. They tell themselves they are stopping, but never do. And if they go a week or so without pot they because depressed and lay around all day.

It's simple, some people become addicted and some people don't.

Just give it time my friend. You may be next or you may not be. Are you a cronic smoker is the question? I mean every day multiple times a day for YEARS. Thats the typical physlical withdrawal candidate. But he also has a predispositon for addiction too. Again it varies and it can and does happen.

exactly. Same as with anything else.

i started smoking about 12 years ago. granted yes, i do live oin the border of mexico, so the weed is ok commercial, not kind by any means, so maybe that has something to do with it.
and yes for years, i smoked everyday all day. thats what i did...smoke, and when i was done id smoke more. pounds and pounds......but now i cant, you know, job, kid, wife......etc, etc

i do on occasion, but when i finally stopped the everyday thing, other than being bored and wanting to, i didnt have any other problems

people are different mentally and phyislically

[Kevn 419]

it kind of makes me mad how everyone thinks if you smoke marijuana you will go on taking a bunch of other drugs and drop out of school and stuff; becasue most people dont. i smoke sometimes here and there everyday and i make good grades in school i do everything im asked to do, and i dont do any other drugs, (aside from a little shroom tea here and there). so basically what i am saying is not everybody gets addicted to marijuana, and if they do, i believe it is more mental than physical. for me, i just get bored and then go smoke, but if i have somethin to do im perfectly fine without it.




i doubt this will make any sense because i am bored as i write this...

[MagMan5446]

I said to my knowledge transman was the only stoner on here, so don't take offense....

But yeah that's true everybody is different. I've seen girls snort up a line and go nuts over the stuff for a long time.

Only withdrawal symptoms I get is appetite loss and just being bored.

Long-term marijuana use suppresses the production of hormones that help regulate the reproductive system. For men, this can cause decreased sperm counts and very heavy users can experience erectile dysfunction.

Encourage your friend. If he's stupid enough to take up the habit, it may be a service to the community if he loses his ability to breed.

(aside from a little shroom tea here and there)

Cute using white and all. As soon as you hear any of that justification crap whether it's illegal drugs or socially accepted ones (I'm only a social drinker/smoker) there's a problem. Usually it means you're justifying your addiction to yourself.

What gets me is the hypocritical idiots who smoke up and also go on rants against pollution, chemicals, genetic engineering, etc, etc. What the hell do you think you're doing to your body? How do you think the THC levels have become so high?

And the LACK of hangovers from a chemical is a BAD sign not a good sign. It means the crap is still in your veins.

Then there's the murder, extorsion, and all the other gang related activity you finanace if you're buying the stuff on the street.

[splatattack33]

drugs are like bad and they um mess you up and yeha dont do drugs not good for you. youll end up losing in the long run . many a freind of mine been kicked out of school and arrested cause of them

[InfinatyBPS]

You can thank prohibition for that. Also, most of the stuff people smoke is coming from someone's little back yard grow op, right down the street from them. Not some big terrorist group.

[MagMan5446]

You can thank prohibition for that.

Hey man, I love my pot just as much as anybody else, and liqour is way more dirty than pot, but if pot was legal, nobody would remember anything man. Plus growing would be illegal still for the same reason tobacco is illegal to grow. Then we just have taxed pot, paying like 400+ for an oz.

Sorry bro but Im gonna have to call you on this. Pot is legal in amsterdam and they have said that a few years after it was legalized the use actually dropped. It would be much cheaper to buy weed also. It would cost somewhere aound the same as cigarettes.

If the government made pot legal or all drugs leagl the world would be a much better place. Yeah thats right everyone. Studies that our tax dollars have paid for have all proven this but the government turns its back on these findings because they dont agree with them. Gangs violence is mostly due to drug territory. Violence in other countries where we get cocaine would be much less. No drug lords. We could earn tax dollars on the drugs instead of spending billioins of tax dollars on fighting (we need to realize we lost the drug war). If people want to use drugs they will. Wether it be legal or not. Our jails would not be filled with non violent drug users. We could actually afford to keep the rapist and violent offenders there. I could go on and on but Im hungry and its lunchtime.

Non violent drug users get a lot of chances before they get locked up. Prop 39 i think. They get a lot of chances before most of them realize that dope ain't the way to go. That's not about pot though, and this thread is.

It would be much more than cigarettes. It would be the same cannibus club prices as they have now. Gang violence isn't as much about "drug territory" as it is just some crackheads lookin for some smoke.

Of course this is only in California....


In amsterdamn you can order hash with your breakfast from room service.... everythings legal there man. That's where you go for a vacation.
