Addicted to pot ?

[Harry Gypsna]

i wasn t sugar coating anything...but as a former junkie(smack and crack) i know what REAL addiction is and weed aint it........ if i dont get stoned i might be a bit stressedbut im not rolling round on the floor in agony every musc,ke in my body on fire with uncontrolable burts of vile liquid firing out of both ends of my body....
as i say you can develop a psychological dependancy but that is only one part of addiction..... I wont post again because it turn into an arguement obviously opinions differ......

i agree with the above. Its all a state of mind. seems to work for me but i cant say much cause i get insomnia and that feeling is crazier than no pot. So as for me ill take my chances if i cant sleep i feel like im loose in a crazy house. Plus you dont need methedone to stop smoking. I know people that are leashed to a clinic or they barf. Soo Georgy let us have our pot.

peace

I know what real addiction is too...freebased away about $250,000.000 in the nineties...
I think the behavior is what makes it feel like an addiction (to me)...the pawning stuff...$hit like thatit reminds me of being a basehead...because I did the same thing to get cocaine...pawned everythingg I had...then started writing bad checks to buy cigarettes by the carton to sell to the Indian grocery for 10 dollars a carton. I ain't nowhere near doing anything like that again...and that IS the difference ....please post again...it's my thread...and I would like to hear more from ya...

The good news is...I copped a bag of regs last night...had to drive a ways, still ain't made any weedy friends here....but no crazy legs last night....

and I did not get fired from my new job...I walked out...(that is a subject for another thread...LOL...

I hear ya....
I think we all agree...it can be psychologically habit forming....
and we can all agree to disagree.....

I prefer to think of it as feeling bad without medicine...especially since I finally feel good physically since smoking some...

No need to argue, I understand what your saying

On my first grow I made Isopropyl Hash Oil out of the males just to tide me over. Made some surprisingly good oil. My buddy tried it and said it was every bit as good as the oil he used to get years ago. I throw the males away now. Just something that might help you get to harvest.

bump this thread.

Taking a break, insomnia and loss of appetite are chimin in pretty hard, but i had insomnia pretty much with pot so..just loss of appetite mainly. I also maybe feel a little dull in the days, because pot seems to liven things up and puts me in a good mood.

I actually think there is a lot of agreement here. Weed is not physically addictive, but those of us who smoke it regularly do develop a psychological dependence on it. And that isn't a bad thing, anymore than my dependence on other medications that I might need. It isn't very helpful to say "I'm addicted to pot" because addicted usually is taken to mean physically addicted, and because it has such negative connotations.

I think for most of us there are times in our lives when abstaining from weed is a good thing -- for lots of reasons, even if only to recover from development of tolerance in order to be able to get the most out of your herb, or to allow your lungs to take a break.

Those times are much easier to deal with if we choose when they come ourselves. Before I grew my own, I went through dry times regularly that were not of my choice, I just couldn't get any. It sucked. My body ached, I couldn't sleep, felt miserably distracted by my situation of not having any. I was aware of needing and wanting it almost constantly.... And now that I grow and haven't experienced such unpleasantness in years, I still have vivid sharp memories of it. I fast on my own once in a while when I can work up the will power in order to lower my tolerance and tune up my appreciation for what I have.

I think distracting yourself from the situation is important. Work was miserable during the dry times, I remember (as I am an all-day toker), but I found it did help to exercise, take walks, do things I enjoy anyway.

I feel for those who go without, as it does hurt, and the more chronically you smoke, the more difficult the transition is. But I especially feel for those who are without by no choice of their own. Hang in there, as better times are bound to come again.

After a scare, an early harvest, and a realization that many of my nights are spent staring at Hulu and smoking mediocre joints, I realized I need a break. I am not paying attention to the things I need to do (grad school work, getting my name out there) and worrying too much about when some shitty bagseed genetics were going to finish.

Am I habituated? Yes. My girlfriend calls me "marijuanaro" which is some Colombian slang for "pot head". I think we all need a break now and then, and I definitely need a break, at least until the buds dry properly

Medical patient or addict?

I'm thinking both.
