Beware: Cannabis Addiction?

In my opion anything can be addicting. Some things can not be physically addictive but anything can be mentally addictive and habit forming. For me if I smoke everyday or drink a energy drink everyday for 6 months. If had to quit cold turkey the energy drink is going be worsen coffee thou would be the same as smoking thou not a problem physically and mentally would want but would be able to get over it just fine. Everyone is different thou. I once watched a show on I believe Netflix over strange addiction. From eatting hair, licking cats, coffee enemas and one guy that was on there for the refer. Don’t know him so can’t say for sure but seemed more memtall than physical. To point his mom and sister has his connects phone number saved on there phone’s bc he would break stuff, punch holes in stuff and threatens to beat them up and even hit them a few times. As soon as the call went thru and they said they would go get the fit was over. He just needed the comfort of knowing was about to smoke not even the act of smoking its self.

Anything that gives you fun or pleasure can be addictive.
This could explain why politicians try to make us all miserable… :roll_eyes:

Whoever said everyone is addicted to something hit the nail on the head. EVERYONE. YOU can be addicted to money, power, pussy, real estates, classic cars, but GOD FORBID it’s drugs or alcohol

I was going to say that shit crazy, but hold up… I’ve been a mess wondering if I’m going to make it to next week before. It is exactly that; you don’t even need to use it. Just knowing you can. I think this is anxiety related. In my case I’m not going to beat on anybody, but am I going to be miserable? Have I made bad choices because of this? Yeah, kinda. Get a little buggy if I run out for the day, and I’m picking up later that day or the next. I can see my anxiety at play while those feeling come up, and I can deescalate a bit. But if you took away that self awareness? Shit. Although, you gotta wonder, if he’s beating on women (or at least threatening it) why stop at some weed? Fuck, if we’re going no rules I’d set my bar higher.

There is so much stuff out there people are addicted to. Coffee, sugar, sodas, cigarettes, alcohol, pharmaceutical drugs. I know my kids are addicted to video games.

When I quit weed I was miserable. Not because I couldn’t smoke, because I was incarcerated.

If the worse thing in my life is I am called a weed addict, life is good to me. Starting back smoking saved me from the illness I had that was killing me

If I go longer than 4 hours without smoking I get very anxious to the point where it’s debilitating and I can’t leave the house or take care of myself. The times I haven’t smoked in my life have been pure misery. I don’t drink alcohol or coffee or cigs or anything bad but I need weed. Addiction maybe but I’m fine with it I like smoking weed and the relief it gives me I wish all haters would back off. I don’t even smoke that strong a weed just enough to be ok.

Everybody’s addicted to something - it comes down to how many of them (addictions) does one have and if is influences one life in a negative way

I haven’t done it for a while, but I used to quit periodically just to remind myself how easy it is, and to demonstrate that I am in charge of starting or stopping.
For me, it was easy if I just set it in my mind to “I am doing it 100% for sure.” I get irritable is all. Eventually I’d get sick of quitting and start up again.

Jus Sayin…

Coffee was harder to quit than ciggs for me.
Feel better without both in my life.
Quit smoking and got into quality vaporizers in 16 and haven’t smoked since.
I get higher longer with half the product now and my lungs X-Ray clean.

I am addicted, when short on stash I get ansious, start smoking less and loose apetite, very irritable about other humans actions or lack of them, if stash is over is like hell.

That said, I am addicted but not more than I am for air or food or water, so cannabis is something I incorporated in my lifestyle like most of us and obviously we don’t feel confortable without, I know I don’t.

For me the only downsides are traveling or if shtf it doesn’t help at all but I made a choice of living with along with all upsides and downsides of it.

Peace

I’m not addicted. I’m (more of) an irritable asshole when I’m not getting stoned… but that started long before I ever smoked my first puff of a joint.

I’m embarrassed to say I used to drink at least a litre of pepsi daily until two years ago.

I don’t think cannabis is at all addictive but caffeinated sugar water certainly is, very much so. It doesn’t help either that soft drinks are promoted by every sporting event, restaurant, and vending machine.

I’ve forgotten where I’m going with this but you don’t need to be a slave to these corporations, and your pancreas will thank you in the long term.

I was - have been -is //// a marijuana addict which is no issue–NOW with a seed addiction that’s something else - Hell !!! everyone is addicted to something

Yep, i was addicted to smoking weed…
It became worse when i had jars and jars of stash…
That was not a problem until i built tolerance like Everest lol…
Then i switched to edibles and tincture, i used it everyday until it didn’t get me high anymore…
That was last month…

Since I’ve given away my flowers and ran out of edibles and tincture, i don’t use marijuana anymore…
That is this month…

When i harvest my flowers next month, I might start the cycle again or may be use it sensibly as i planned…

What has this taught me, you may ask😉

Well for one thing I’ve learnt that there’s more to marijuana than getting high and i would have totally missed it hadn’t i grown buds of my own…

Addiction is defined as not having control over doing, taking or using something to the point where it could be harmful to you.

Weed is neither in control nor it was/is/will be harmful to me, ot at least that’s my case…

It’s harmful to me because I could fall into my stash and drown.
