Is cannabis addicitive?

[Fluffy Clouds]

its individual.. it depends on strength of your will.. give you example... if my lungs start to hurt from smokin too many joints per day.. i just stop it... but if you cant stop it despite the fact you suffer from overdoing it somehow than you are addicted..

my two cents..

 

[Hydro-Soil]

The answer is none. Some strains will allow you to have a bit LESS of an issue with memory, cognition, and information retention, but the fact is that given its nature and chemical structure, cannabis works against a habitual user in all of these areas. The physiological properties of the plant and the chemicals contained within do not change simply because some people believe it to be a miracle drug that can do no harm.

Sorry... but this is bullshit.

Now... if you're talking about using indica tainted meds all the time, yeah... I can see how the part about memory would be true.

Stick to sativas folks.... ingest/inhale as little indica cannabinoids as possible, they're for making HAO from and rubbing on sore muscles, diabetic sores, skin cancer and a ton of other stuff.

Having done extensive research into this area, it's obvious that you really have little understanding and are really quoting a bunch of crap that may be true with drugs... not with cannabis. The world YOU live in spouts this garbage 24/7.



Anyone who's had experience with multiple sativa dom strains over a long period of time will tell you the same.

Stay Safe! And stay away from folks that quote society.

I can't remember if it was Cherry AK or Blackberry Kush that made my memory better...

Haha cannabis also makes you notice the small funny things in our daily lives.. Like a dude who doesnt remember which strain improved his memory

It is a rather contradictory statement until you consider the fact that long term and short term memory are two slightly different beasts.

I am still waiting for Hydro-Soil's specific strain recommendations on memory friendly cannabis.

I've had such experience. Anybody who knows me knows this. I don't do the indica thing, never have except for right before bed. Your anecdotal experience does not qualify as factual evidence. To claim that ANY strain or species of cannabis actually improves memory retention is just fucking asinine and it is ridiculous to make the argument.

If you have evidence to support your claims, by all means post it. Clearly you do not as you immediately jumped to the strawman and the mudslinging.

jd4083. You seem to forget ADHD-Inattentive type, where they overstimulate themselves by maintaining a somewhat systematic way of switching between the modalities that are expressed through the perception in which they use their senses to think, causing them attention deficit. They seek small thrills, and constantly organize and frame everything within the synaethesia of their senses combining as a perception leading to thoughts.

Sorry if you care to argue. Everyone think I am somewhat nuts, except for Hitler.

My my... aren't WE excitable?

You live in a non-medical state... don't you.


Stay Safe!

p.s. As far as specific strains for memory goes.... You'll have to find that out for yourself, since everyone reacts a bit differently to each strain. I DO know that afghani is mainly responsible for the cannabinoid profiles you DON'T want in your head. (I'm sorry that prohibition makes this task Extreeeeeeamly difficult.)

OK. Just double checking to see if you had a shred of credibility.

I spent 2 years sampling different strains from different dispensaries in the L.A. area (Chatsworth had one that rocked all the others.). Not only was it an education in quality.... it was an education in how different strains affected me.

I'm high-functioning Autistic (pun allowed) with super sensitivities in taste, smell, touch... but not hearing, too many guns. LOL Anxiety, nausea, executive function disorder, short term memory loss(never had one until I started using cannabis at 14), focus problems, mental clarity issues and mood control problems are all handled by sativa dom strains.

I've spent quite a few years getting my meds as clean as possible. The result is the flack I catch in threads like this for stating the truth. It's all good though.

Spend the time folks... your body and brain will thank you for cutting back on your inhaled/ingested nutes, boosters, PGR's, miticide and insecticide residue and on and on and on. (Don't forget dust from the air. Gack)

Stay Safe!

Edit: For reference sake... I had the opportunity to pick up some meds from a prior connect in a non-medical state.... looked the same and smelled the same as all the other stuff I'd gotten from them but...... couldn't finish even a gram of it. Called them up and they swear it's the same stuff as always... nothing out of the ordinary. Bleah! I used those meds for over a year. Gack!

Maybe it's the way you go about it. Your presentation can be somewhat abrasive.

You made these claims about cannabis that doesn't impair your short term memory, and actually may help with recall. You say that you've spent considerable time sampling many different strains in a quest for this special clean sativa memory friendly high. But when asked to give names you say that it's irrelevant because everybody reacts to pot differently. The best you've done is to recommend that when searching for that special sativa effect, one should avoid Afghani. OK.

joined the conversation a little late....

joined the conversation a little late....

When i'm out of weed, i definitely find myself wishing i had more, but i can still go about my day as usual. It's not like it's the only thing on my mind. To me it's just an all around enjoyable thing to do, like eating ice cream. I'd eat ice cream every day if i had a lot of it, but if i don't have any in my fridge i don't really care. To me weed is like that.

I agree. I always liked using the roller coaster analogy. Do I love roller coasters? Yes. Would I ride one everyday if given the option? Yes. Would I be irritated if I rode one everyday and then was told I cannot anymore? Yes. Can roller coasters be dangerous? Yes. Should Roller coasters be illegal or be considered addicting ? No.
Like people have been saying, you can be addicted to anything that has an effect on you. But of course people like to talk shit about weed while they chow down their McNasty double cheeseburgers and complain about how they need their daily Starsucks coffee. As with the many already legal addictions we should educate people about the upsides and downsides of weed and let them decide for themselves.

 

[crazybear]

What gets me is this country & knee jerk bullshit that comes from it, like the present deal in Florida about prescription pills killing everybody & now the problem is every where so now lets make it harder for people to get prescriptions because people get addicted to opiates & some people are accused of being addicted because they are in constant pain , like me & others on here, the country worries about people getting addicted to pills that in most places like here you can't hardly get pain pills!
Not the answer to the question, but everything is addictive , but cannabis is easier to deal with kicking than even alcohol, sex, etc. not to even get on opiates etc.!

 

[devilgoob]

Anyways, besides everyone's propensity to find my post's unhelpful, even though they stated the truth. It seems other people's sorrys are a more helpful post.

I see now, how one's value comes from vanity and glory rather than *actual* substance.

Durban Poison (Clean Durban... not stuff that's been hybridized, good luck finding it)
Thai lots of sativa crosses with thai in them.
Trainwreck... works for me, fogs others out.
C-99 Super for focus and energy!
Sour Diesel Again... lots of tainted diesel around with a 45 min med time and quick tolerance buildup. Be-aware. It should wake you up... not push you into the couch.

Essentially you want to sample strains that people say are energizing, uplifting, clear, etc... No heavy-stone, couchlock, sedative types.

Soooooooo many decent lines of cannabis strains that are tainted with Skunk A.K.A. Afghani-dom hybrid. You get some strains that are ok.... with the right phenotype, and then you get others from the same family that are all about the 'Stone'. Using Cannabis medicinally isn't about getting 'Stoned', it's about fixing your issues naturally instead of chemically.

Stay Safe!

 

[jd4083]

So what you're saying is that you have no evidence to support your absurd theories about pot, are aware that you have no evidence, and still argue your point anyways? That's a little ridiculous.

 

[devilgoob]

Yes, I am not afraid to be mocked, I am confident. I confide in my ability to research and to know. You say I don't have evidence, what evidence do I need personally for myself?

I have read a lot and researched articles written by doctors and about cannabis. What is so wrong about that?

I have a passion for knowing things...you'll get bored with me really quick if you think I am a know-it-all that just spits out facts and don't really recognize substance when you see it.

Unless this is Hydro-Soil's other username, I was not talking to you, my friend.

read just the first page and I'm jumping in to say

of course it's addictive

pretty addictive

but not as addictive as cigarettes or coffee.

my .02

 

[Classy@Home]

Hard core, heavy hitter here - smokin since Nixon was Prez - went almost dry for almost 2 months now - not caring after first day or so...

Addictive???

No...

A really fun habit to indulge in 8 or 9 times a day???

Fuck, yeah...

 

[COOKIE MONSTER]

I'll tell you what's addictive about cannabis.....growing it!

If I were to go without my few joints on any given day or for weeks or months it wouldn't bother me at all except for when my knees or back give me grief.
It's the winter months when I have no plants in the garden that I find uncomfortable and every day I think about when spring will arrive.

Me plant addict

I may also have a small addiction to cookies
