and people say weed isn't addictive...

[Dana]

a guy I went to school with posted this on his Facebook.

"Officially one week now without pot!!! I have managed to eat the past 3 days now (which includes today). Still have some mood swings to deal with but overall doing great!!! Thanks support team!!!"

Which makes me think there was an addictive nature involved. I'm glad i don't do any sort of drug except alcohol.

I smoked a ton back 30-35 years ago. Never had any physical withdrawal symptoms from it.

It affects people differently. And Dana, alcohol is every bit as addictive as weed can be. It just depends on your personality type, and whether or not you have a proclivity towards addictive behavior.

It's the same thing with other stuff... fast food, caffeine, coffee, anything that your body is used to doing on a regular basis.

I've smoked it off and on all my life. Never had any withdrawal symptoms, but I wasn't a heavy user, just occasional. I don't like the smell or smelling like it afterward.

It's not physically addictive, but as with pretty much anything you can develop a psychological addiction.

You could get addicted to mars bars if the right set of circumstances combined, that doesn't make the product actually addictive in itself.

Weed might not be physically addictive, but that doesn't mean people who use it a lot won't find it hard to give up.

Everyone is in some form addicted to having a good time.

Like has already been said, weed itself is not addictive, weak minded people can just develop a psychological addiction to it.

Lmao at thinking alcohol is a better alternative to weed
Get off your fucking high horse and smoke a bowl

 

[itsmeJonB]

And yes I'm addicted to weed. I'm addicted to the good feeling it gives me rather than having to take liver killing pills to deal with depression and anxiety

It's all in his mind.

Does that make it easier or harder?

 

[cam elle toe]

Its actually not nearly as addictive as cigs and alcohol.

Its because a lot of smokers add tobacco to the weed and that causes the "addiction"

I read that somewhere, and it makes sense to me.

 

[Guyzerr]

Speaking for myself .... I used to smoke tons of the stuff on a daily basis. The last time I did it was the night of my stag and that was about 30 years ago. It didn't bother me one way or the other when I packed it in. I haven't had any desire whatsoever to smoke it since but I'd light up in a heartbeat if they legalized it.

 

[retro]

And to think some morons in the US want to make it legal.

Thanks for calling me a moron... it should be legalized. It's equally or less harmful than alcohol is.

If Americans want to become even more stupid than they already are, good luck to them. I, for one, do not want stoned fools wandering around in a haze.

Better than drunks. Can't deny that.

I have never see anyone that smokes weed beat their kids, wife, neighbors etc which is something I can't say about booze.

Im agreeing with you alot lately. I, sadly to admit, have an extremely addictive personality. If I like something I tend to need to conscientiously monitor myself. Course, to be quite honest, quitting weed ( way back when) was worlds easier than quitting cigs or even lowering my soda intake!
