You don't become physically addicted to it. You can however develop a mental dependency on it, but that only happens to people that use it every single day/to escape their problems.


Like me.

I was trying to say you don't get physically addicted to it, but you do mentally.

>>38774935
>implying you've ever been addicted to a drug with physical addiction potential

shut up bitch

>>38774935
The weed itself isn't addictive, the escape from your shit is. People with latent mental issues who use weed are usually dependent on it to function because they crave the numb feeling it provides. Its the same for people who are addicted to porn or video games, they use it to fill a void in their mind.

>>38772998
smoke weed like once a month lmao, and usually for free.

It's not you're just weak willed.

>>38774935
The same way somebody like you gets addicted to watching porn, playing video games, or eating tons of unhealthy food, somebody else gets addicted to weed. Take away the weed or porn or whatever and the person only just misses the escape any of those gave. Take away heroin from a smack head and their body starts physically changing in response. This is withdrawal.

>>38772998
Is there a problem with being addicted to it? I mean compared to alcohol and cigs it's harmless and you can just grow the shit.

>>38775212
>it's harmless

My fucking god. Stoners need to get the fuck off this board.

>>38775227
>compared to cigs and alcohol

Improve your reading comprehension.

>>38775227
if you smoke weed your whole life, then die from natural causes, what's the problem?

people wanna argue just for the sake of arguing i think.

>>38775268
It's still horrible for your lungs. My point stands.

>>38775276
Sorry warden, I won't question your say on which degenertes and losers are allowed on the board for degenerates and losers.

Weed addiction is so fucking easy to overcome. After like, a week tops of cold turkey you won't even be thinking about it anymore.
It helps if you don't hang out with stoners while you're trying to quit, too.

Run on back to /soc/ normies, make sure you have your Converse Chucks laced up tight before you take off!

>>38772998
I don't know how, everyone I've ever met that smoked pot was clearly addicted to it. Don't Liston to addicts, it's near impossible to be objective about a subjective experience
>>38775212
It's worse than cigs because it fucks up your life not just your lungs.
>>38773942
That's a meme, it is also physically addicting. Your brain stops reproducing a certain chemical when you start getting it from pot
And furthermore the whole physically/mental addiction thing is a meme anyways, all drugs that are addicting are addicting in the "mental" way.

>>38775395
How does it fuck up your life? Just study and do the same shit but while high. Just think about how great it is to be high.

Weed is fantastic stfu

>>38773942
That's so bullshit, i get major cold sweats for days if i don't smoke after smoking alot. And that is physical.

>>38775340
True but the psychological dependency will "always" remain.

>>38775449
Nigga is your shit laced? Ive never heard of nor experienced that before

>>38775395
Do you seriously not understand the difference in terminology between a mental and physical addiction? Do you think that because a physical process is occurring they should both be conaidered the same thing?

Actually, you can get physical withdrawal symptoms if you are a very heavy user. It happened to me when I would just take massive bong rips of super dank weed and hash all day erry day. When I ran out about 12 hours after my last dose I started getting anxiety, sweating, intense cravings for the drug, restlessness, nausea and vomiting. I've seen this happen to other people too. You get people texting you for weed and you can smell their desperation. A mixture of tobacco and marijuana smoked in a bong known as "poppers" in my area is particularly addictive. Popper smokers become absolute fiends.

That being said, I later stopped for a while. I took up daily use again but used mostly joints, a pipe or a vape, and used it at most twice a day, and no withdrawal upon cessation. So you have to be a real heavy user to get w/d from weed.

To be fair I do know an adult (over 40) who started smoking a few years ago and it improved his grades and stuff, but it does ruin lots of people's lives because you stop devopling if you get addicted, so a 35 year old pot smoker acts like a 20 year old, and no one wants to deal with a 20 year old at that age.
If you don't get addicted it's fine, same with beer/wine.
But it's retarded to say it's not addicting.
For a lot of people alcohol addiction is pretty tricky though, you don't really walk up to the problems till 15-20 years later. A lot of people think the bad part of the addiction is the drunk driving or fights, but that's not really the mean part of the addiction, that can happen to anyone that got drunk once.

Just FYI withdraw has very little to do with long term addiction treatment.
That's a mistake a lot of users make. Meth clinics pull this shit too. Try to make a big deal about treating the withdrawal. Withdrawal from meth isn't hard, any clinic that knows what it's doing can take you through withdrawal. it's the underlying addiction that is really hard to treat.
Please don't make the mistake of withdrawing having to do with addiction, it's complete broscience
The more you know

>>38775467
No just some potent hash most of the time, i only get cold sweats when i to sleep without my regular night toke and i can literally make the sheets wet from all the sweat at times, shits fucked.

Never knew smoking could do that to you. Maybe it's because i've been smoking for 10 years straight.

>>38775664
Long term use of anything that alters your mind state is going to have downsides.
It's like addreal users in college, they feel great and so smart when they are on it, but if they used regularly, 2 or 3 years later they are disconguit messes and their brain is short circuited

>>38775788
Yeah tell me about it was "forced" to take ritalin and concerta for 2-3 years myself and even if i have ADHD that shit make me into a completely different shut in person in the end. Took me years to get over that and find myself again still kinda haven't tho i guess it's just what it is.

>>38775549
It's all your mind set when you're studying look around and think "I'm enjoying life more than these people" be positive


Look at lil Wayne nigger is 40 smoking every day going to meetings planes concert dates studying writing new shit working meeting up with people phone calls collabs studio time and all that shit. So many millionaires are stoners.

Plus that nigger is on lean and Molly while he does it

Get real. Next you'll tell me about a rockstar,
lmfao
Protip: it's NOT mindset
I can't stress that enough, some people will get addicted and some won't, likely becuase of genes, mostly. To pretend it's just mindset is what delusional daily users tell themselves.
Btw "functional" user is a thing, doesn't mean they aren't addicted and having problems becuase of it

>>38775611
I'm not really sure what you mean.

After the withdrawal ends and the addict still has the psychological and social problems that pushed them to drug abuse in the first place, they're likely to relapse. Is that what you meant?

I've read many people go to the hospital and are on morphine constantly for their stay, then are released and don't need it. They don't crave it and might get physical withdrawal but can bear it fine. It's because they're not psychologically dependent on morphine for happiness, they have a family, friends, a job or school, a life to return to. An addict is always self-medicating some psychological/social problem, using the drug to cope with their deficiencies.

>>38776105
Couldn't have said it better, that is what i believe to be a fact and you can pretty much sum up addictions to that and genes.

>>38776153
Ah I see, and yeah I agree that is how it works. But it stands that weed has physical withdrawal symptoms if you use it too heavily. To use it that heavily though you need a psychological reason to be high all the time. It's fairly easy to quit if you only smoke once or twice a day.

>>38776241
I wasn't the guy you replied to first i just agree with you, and yeah no one who are stable and fairly grounded will not smoke weed heavily that almost always tells tales about underlying psychological issues.

>>38775461

Not true.

I smoked every day, 24/7 for 3 years. Just quit cold turkey one day and haven't touched it since.

Occasionally when someone near me is smoking a joint I'll feel yearning, but its more like this nostalgic thinking of the good old times than being actually tempted. I don't think about weed in day to day life at all, zero cravings.

So don't bullshit yourself into some sob story about how life will never be the same if you quit or that you can't deal with quitting or whatever. Its absolutely possible to recover from this "addiction" completely.

Unless you smoke heavily and it triggers your latent schizophrenia or something I guess. Then you're pretty fucked, sorry.

>>38776299
Could have worded that better i didn't mean you go around craving it all day but it atleast for me when i went cold turkey for some months after 3-4 years of non stop smoking made me not crave it but think about it from time to time, and reminisce how nice it was to get high but i certainly didn't need it.

In a sense we mean the same thing.

>>38776105
That's not completely true though, there are plenty of people that was never users, went to hosiptial and got addicted to morfien. Alternating your brain state with drugs can (but not always) semi-peremently rewire your drive mechanicisisms in your brain, why and when and to who is not well understood.
For pot addicts, usually it's the people that the 2d or 3D time they did it it was like "wow this is fucking amazing" and the ones that don't get addicted never got that intense of an experience from it,

>>38776299
It'll vary person to person. I don't think you'll have that dependency in your brain forever. That "part" of you will shrink and shrink with time until its irrelevant but still there. If you smoke again you can reignite the dependency by purposeful ignorance of your personal history and decision making. Or you could smoke again and consciously act not to follow the same path and create a different relationship with the drug. Generally relapsing devolves in dependency again because the dependent has a craving or desire numbed - creating an illusion of satisfaction which crumbles when they are sober again.
