Why do would they say that pot isnt addictive...?
i have been smokin weed since i was about 15...once i turned 18 i was smokin everyday sometimes within a couple hours of getting up in the morning.
i just cant stop! i have tried...even seen a therapist in the process and done well for 3 weeks or so...then i start to get emotionally all out of whach, snappy temper, feeling of loss, and then one day i crack, and go right back to it...and its no slow re-introduction, from not smokin back to everyday.
every night i say that tomorrow is going to be different, next morning i am already thinking of excuses to pack my bowl and get high...
this is an addiction, its no simple habit...whats going on here?
Answer:
I have to tell you ...your wrong...your addiction is NOT the pot itself..it is the co-dependant behaivor you have TWORDS the pot...which you would realize if you quit the pot becuse you would replace the pot with something else...there is no addictive chemicals in pot. I know SEVERAL people over the years who have quit with no withdrawls- no problems..Your co dependant on the pot for reasons you know in your heart...pot is just your tool to stay numb to it..just like a alcoholic...you have to research the reasons they became an alki.what is missing from your life? If you really look behind the actions you have to be honest with yourself and take a good honest look at your life...it is not the pot- it is that you are not happy in your life and you use pot to numb out to escape from either your life or something you have done in your life and it is an excuse to not face the reality you feel you cannot face...be strong...you can face it. do some self inventory and go find something you love to do that does not include getting hi and start doing it...if you really love it...you will not even realize you havent got high...start filling your attention to things that dont revolve around the thoughts of pot...what you give your attention to grows..if you want to quit it.dont make it a punishment to yourself...the human mind will not deprive yourself...if you say you are loosing something the subconciense automatically fights not to "loose" you need to quit putting importance into it and replace the "habits" with new and exciting "whatevers" to get past the thoughts you have deeply ingrained...as a man concieves, believes, he achieves...and I will say this...not wanting to offend you...but quit being lazy.pot is like water or fire..you can use it or abuse it, it is a wonderful herb that is better than half the drugs you get from the pharmacy to calm you down without killing your kidneys and other organs...but it should be used as a medically given herb as it was meant...a poltice of it will cure a boil in no time at all...or sooth a bite...or rash...and yes it does give you a tranqulizer effect if smoked...but your addiction needs to be approached by your actions not the herb. Quit thinking about it. Fill your brain with other healthy good thoughts of things you love and have never done before...not drugs...be real with yourself, forgive yourself and fill your life with new things.hope it helps.
Its not.Maybe your self medicating for some other problem
Bull. I know people who have smoked it for over 30 years up and quit and after a few days they don't really miss it.Some people would get addicted to sugar pills and claim it's a drug if they thought they could. I as a devoted Christian think it should be more legal than alchol.Brother Tim M. Murphy
Because research has shown that you are only addicted to M.J. if you want to be,in other words there is no chemical addiction only psychological.
It's not addictive. Your perceived addiction is purely emotional.
Thank you, I have said for years any drug is addictive.
there's nothing in it that's addictive. no dependency. you're addicted to the actual affect, not the weed.
Are you a Black person? Scientists recently discovered that Black people are more susceptible to marijuana addiction.
I think marijuana is highly addictive. The process or packing a bowl, rolling a joint, rolling a blunt and then lighting it with friends is addicting to some, others are just addicted to the act of smoking (even when they are solo).
If you need to feel high, then I suggest quitting not by going cold-turkey, but easing off of your high dosage of weed. Smoke less during each session, let the blunt or joint get passed right by you. Then when you are only smoking one hit per session I would just stop smoking.
If you need the social interaction that smoking marijuana provides, then I suggest going through with the whole session, just not smoking. Kick it with the group of people smoking and just get "contact."
It takes a lot of will-power, but you can quit, you're not chemically dependent on Marijuana-- it's not that kind of drug. That's what "they" mean by not addictive. Your body does not need it to function even though you might feel like it does.
Try taking "dry puffs" or just inhaling as if you were smoking just to go through the motion of inhaling air. Do it a couple of times and you will feel light-headed and you will forget about smoking.
It sounds like you are the only one in charge of your actions, so take charge and quit!
It is psychologically addictive, not physically addictive. When you are used to smoking weed and then stop you feel "emotionally all out of whach, snappy temper" etc. Those are psychological symptoms not physical symptoms. When I got clean from a cocaine and meth addiction the after effects were both physical and psychological. You don't throw up, get the shakes, sweat, etc when you stop smoking weed. It isn't addictive so stop glamourizing it and making a big deal of it. You'll get cranky for a couple days and then you'll be fine, deal with it.
