this is why i always say , if you're going to smoke weed . do it on a schedule , i went from smoking everyday to doing it now n then . i personally think weed helped me honestly from committing suicide honestly but thats a different conversation for later.
What I do know is most people believe whatever the TV says ! And whatever our caring government says ! They would have you believe anything if it benefitted them in one way or another.
I don't understand how cannabis is addictive at all, I smoked for years , actually since jr high and when I was looking at a much better job in 2001 I had to stop because of drug screening , I didn't notice any withdrawl or any kind of dis-comfort. Then I got hurt and was on oxycodone for a few years and when I was taken off that I thought I was going to die from withdrawls ! I never even heard of anyone being addicted to cannabis , and everyone I know smoked growing up. I just dont understand I guess. I think a lot of people don't understand what addiction really is untill they get hooked on haroin or prescription pain pills . You will understand what addiction really is then !!!!
Marijuana is addictive as FUCK! I quit drinking alcohol and Cigarettes years and years and years before I was able to stop smoking pot! I think a major part of this is I started full time smoking when I was 14, I never really grew to learn to live without it. I’m almost 1 month clean now though….. And I’m 30. I quit drinking at 22 and cigarettes at 24. Took me 6 more years to stop smoking pot. This was my experience and is probably not the same as most people’s, BUT I think Marijuana is one of the most addicting things on earth for someone who grew up using it to cope. Our brains never learned how to cope otherwise as adults, and wow what a mess. But damn I have so many dreams and tastes and smells now I forgot existed. If anyone out there is trying to quit don’t be hard on yourself because you haven’t yet. Just keep focused. I had been focused on wanting to stop smoking pot since I was 25…. Took me 5 years! That’s a lot of failure. But it won’t matter once you finally succeed. Don’t give up.
Weed withdrawal is nothing compared to xanax withdrawal thought I was dieing and couldn't move my muscles weed withdrawal is better than alcohol withdrawal just pace yourself smoke sometimes,for you won't get addicted but belive me its hard especially if you use it for seizures and don't have money to buy more.
Being very successful in your career while smoking everyday can make it almost impossible to quit, but success comes in more forms than profession. I never realized how truly unsuccessful I was in building deep relationships with others until I quit smoking weed.
I smoked pot since I was 16. Im 22, I have depression, cant quit smoking, dumped university 3 times… 3 years. Now Im studying music and I like it much more than the other things that I studied before… but weed takes away all my motivation. I should study hard, practice every day, and learn constantly. Instead, Im shackled to the same boring day, every day. I wake up, I get bored, I smoke, I go to sleep…. repeat.
I just want to die already…. with a joint in my mouth.
I have been having morning nausea and vomiting and my doctor thinks I have "Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome". I've been trying to figure this out for 3 years. I have attacks where I feel extremely nauseous and throw up every morning, I get chills, feel clammy, weak, dehydrated, and shaky. Many things cause nausea, so the cause was never really clear to me. I am a heavy heavy user of dabs, which are even more potent. Finding out about my diagnosis has been extremely hard on me because I'm so psychologically dependent. But ive been so sick ive felt like I'm dying at times. I just want everyone to be aware of this syndrome in case they start having similar symptoms
I’m 15, I’ve been getting high for almost a year at this point. Last time I smoked was August 28… along with a little CBD not long after, I’ve been sober since at least maybe September. Day 14… sucks. Mentally, physically, had mild hallucinations, and I had a few panic/anxiety attacks. I’ve recently started following Jesus for my life, I’ve been pushing a lot better. All I can tell you. Weed is NOT for “anybody” Depending on your mental health, this should be used for more medical use and not medicinal.
I’ve been struggling with thc addiction since 2012 back when people still said weed wasn’t addictive. I’ve been smoking some form of thc every single day since 2011 with about 30 days (total) of not smoking since then. I feel sick when I don’t smoke after about 6 hours. I get extremely irritated at everything. I can’t sleep. I feel physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted. I need help.
Derealisation and solipsism is the worst think that can get from marijuana . I hope none suffers from these disorders . Literally better dead than have these disorders
I don't find it addictive but enjoyable often there is an underlying illness and pathology that proper cannabis can aid of course a dependency is natural as with many elements in life I do not necessarily promote cannabis or boast it. There are abuse and dependency disorders for this. 3 weeks clean easy I feel like death usually withdrawal is a few days to a week.
I smoke weed everyday, it's one of the things that gets me to be more productive, it has taught me so much about myself, but I've started to notice it taking a toll on my memory, and my tolerance is crazy. I wanna quit, but the withdraw symptoms make me a potato
ive been smoking since i was 12. i’m 17 now and i fucking hate myself. of course not all of it has to do with marijuana but god damn it contributes. i’m trying to get help and at this point i acknowledge i have a problem with smoking (i’ve spent pretty much every day high as hell for the past year almost) and yet a conflicting desire to stop. i so badly want to stop smoking and start everything over but i’m terrified it’s gonna be for nothing. that my brain is gonna stay fucked up and i completely screwed myself over. so then i’m thinking “what’s the point?” but yeah. i invested in a timer lock box. an attempt is better than nothing right?
good to see it I have a question for you guys 9monts ago I was marijuanna addiction I feel withdrawal when vomiting paranoia anxiety and insomnia I have therapy now I am taking medicine so my question is can I use herbal (plant) medicine
The problem is that you should use cannibis on an occasion like going out for a drink at the weekend but when you start using it to function through the day then that's when the problems start
I can't believe I really smoked nearly every day for over a year because I didn't think it was addictive. It got really ugly for me. Hallucinations, intense anxieties and I ended up having to drop out of college, I dreaded life. About 2 years later I feel so much more stable and happy without it, it's really indescribable.
Cannabis products are shit !! Instead of helping with stress and relaxing 😌 it make anxiety even worse and hallucinations , confusion , weird unwanted feelings ! 💩
Last time I suffered severe from chronic dabbing, my girlfriend and family dealt with a lot messed up emotions. I still miss smoking and getting high, but I worry about my loved ones suffering from the consequences.
You need to study the cannabis plant a tad bit more most of the research is completely off at THC is used for people who have medical issues eating on there own.
The problem for me is I'm always looking for something. Weed has had the most pleasurable effects for me compared to other drugs but the problem is it makes life satisfaction so much worse. For example I would be doing something that most people think is fun but since I abused cannabis its hard to have fun without it. I'm always thinking "man it would be so great if I was high right now" instead of just enjoying life. I would've just been better off not to smoke until I wasn't an adolescent I think It wouldn't have been as addictive.
Pot is a tool if you get addicted to it that's all your fault don't blame pot for your personal issues
I know plenty of folk who are very productive and doing well in life and they use pot daily
If you get addicted then you probably already had issues to begin with you weak fuck get a hobby or some and stop blaming things or people and look in the damn mirror
It’s sad to say i started smoking weed due to boredom but I’ve finally realized I’m a weed addict when I don’t have weed I tend to get anxious and boredom consumes me I’ve tried to quick many times but it’s always one day I’ll quite but till this day I haven’t I know One day I’ll look back and say this isn’t worth it but for now I’m stuck in a cycle I don’t blame the substance I blame myself for hanging out with friends that did that stuff and for not controlling the urge to smoke again I can’t tell you how much money I’ve spent on weed but it’s too much…I never understood an addict until I became one but I know sobriety is always possible I’ll be hoping God can help me with this because I’m now starting to wake up and feel a burden every time I buy that stash of weed
cannabis has ruined my life
I’m not addicted I don’t need it I can burn all of it right in front of me if I needed to
Sativa, Indica, hybrid

Going from Cannabis to medication?
Umm, I don't think so.
"Especially with teenagers". False statement. Someone that never enjoyed pot gonna tell you all about it. Ok.
So what you're saying is if you want 100% of THC to reach your brain you need to directly inject it? Gotcha.
It's called cannabis abuse disorder, not use disorder. I know, I'm diagnosed by a psychiatrist.
Truly ..Jesus Christ help me quit ….no joke….check him out …read the bible and watch YouTube vids about him……that way is way easier……just try him out
