If you smoke everyday, you are addicted
it's possible to build a psychological dependence on weed (as with many things) this can reproduce a semblance of physical withdrawal symptoms.
if you depend on it for certain things, you're addicted
but you can stop anytime
ive experienced physical weed withdrawals, mostly irritability and inability to focus - nothing near as bad as legitimate drug withdrawals from some pharmaceuticals
Not physically, but you will have mental withdrawals. They're very light compared to something like meth or heroin - to the point that within a week or two the side effects disappear completely. All cannabis side effects are reversible EXCEPT for lung damage.
hell yeah weed is addicting, anyone who says otherwise is in denial or has never touched pot but approves of it like a dem that's never met a nigger likes blacks.
>All cannabis side effects are reversible EXCEPT for lung damage.
I don't know about that. I'd say psychological effects can be permanent.
lung damage is reversible though they did a study on 50 year olds who quit smoking and made a full lung recovery in 10 years.
It's addictive as fuck, I smoke it everyday, and can't sleep and get anxious and irritable without it, and my stomach hurts and I feel nauseous and have no appetite and don't enjoy anything. I wish I could stop. Don't do it.
I uh... Don't know. My body is a temple. I don't even drink juice. Only water
They're completely reversible given enough time from what I could tell.
You're right, but the length of time required is pretty long
>All cannabis side effects are reversible EXCEPT for lung damage
you know you can drink your weed? tinctures are thing!
I don't like smoke so for me it's not
If it was the droppers ya maybe I could see it being addictive
Its not a physical addiction like heroin or nicotine, its a behavioural addiction like gambling or eating too much
I smoked every day for 10 years just because i could and i wanted to, then i had to get my shit together and i just stopped, there was no withdrawal or illness like with a hard drug, i just wished i could have a smoke now and then, but i didnt. Where as when i stopped smoking cigarettes i spent 2-3 weeks in pure pain a few months not so great and then I was over it but i still feel like i want to smoke them now.
Ever had to deal with a stoner that's out of weed? They can't eat, sleep, they're irritable, make irrational choices, and will go to great lengths to scrounge up money to get more weed before something else more important.
But sure, it's not PHYSICALLY addictive.
same, with an increase in anxiety, and fatigue. not as intense as heroin withdrawal, but still nasty.
>They're completely reversible
I could just be an outlier. I smoked insane amounts of weed when I was like 16 to 22. Like insaneeeee amounts. Then I got to a point where I would just feel paranoid, and awkward. Now I'm in my 30s and a lot of the weird psychological thoughts I had (Is my face disfigured and I just can't notice it? Am I mentally retarded and everyone knows except for me and no one tells me so that I won't realize it?) have gone away, but when I tried to smoke again recently I took 1 baby puff and I went into a full on paranoid depressive episode where I thought I was a terrible person, my parents hated me, and the cops were tracking me.
But I probably just have like low grade paranoid schizophrenia tendencies or something.
It's just weird because I can take acid and mushrooms with no paranoia. And I drink like a fish and aside from being an angry drunk if someone is a stupid cunt there is no real change in my thought patterns.
This
weed is for niggers and teenagers
I smoke almost daily but I'll go through months without. My friends brother-in-law is a pothead who can't go on a vacation without immediately trying to score weed. He tries to get everyone to uber to a dispensary from the airport
It accelerates the onset of schizophrenia. Seen it happen to tons of people in their 40s and 50s who had to hit the bong everyday to cope. Life is short I guess and do what you need to make the shitty world better but it does come with side effects
That shit will only last a month max. Just get through it
I wouldn't touch weed then, sounds like it doesn't bode well with your body. Stay healthy fren
>It's addictive as fuck, I smoke it everyday
It's not addictive. It's habit-forming. Your inability to break a bad habit does not equate to addiction, you weakass piece of shit.
opiates are themselves not as bad as benzodiazepine and z-drug withdrawals (sleeping pills) which imho latter was the absolute worst it mogs your immune system
What about OCD? I had a weird fit like two months ago where I randomly remembered some crimes I had committed when I was a teenager and for about two weeks I couldn't sleep, couldn't eat, every sound I heard I thought police were about to kick my door in. I knew logically they weren't, and aren't, and that the statute of limitations means I can't be persecuted. But I couldn't shake the feeling.
Oh for sure. It's not for me. In my jurisdiction I still vote for it to be fully legalized because fuck the government.
You can get addicted to everything that stimulates your mind.
>not as bad as benzodiazepine
Only withdrawal that can kill you aside from Alcohol. Funny enough if you are suffering severe alcohol withdrawal they give you benzos.
Marijuana is less addictive then caffeine or tobacco. Countless studies prove this including those done by the government. My own personal experiences also concur. I normally spend 24 hours max after I quit thinking about weed off and on. Then I don't even worry about it. Doing a weed fast right now while I wait for fall harvest to come in. It's good to take breaks to lose tolerance and build the lungs back up. I'm getting older and might switch to pure edible weed soon. Smoking anything is bad for your health but weed is mostly harmless.
well not benzos but z drugs are much, much worse - ambien, lunesta, sonata - sleeping meds
that is the worst withdrawal
weed irritability is not fun - but its a fucking picnic compared to pills
>build the lungs back up
you should really try edibles, pills (THC/CBD oil in capsules), and tinctures (liquid extracts that you drink)
it's a lot easier than smoking - it's not quite as nice but it's also nicer in other ways - lasts longer - less fussy
