POT OHH??

How can pot be so addicting, alot of you say it isnt, but i cant seem to stop it at all, its harder than when i had to stop coke, and that was some ****...it may not be physically addicting, but honesty, its way hareder than some of u know, i just need some motivation from someone, why???

I think a lot of the prob w/ pot in these days and times is that you don't know what you are getting.....many dealers are lacing pot w/heroin and other stuff to get the buyer hooked and coming back....When I was in detox back in like 98 or 99, a counselor told us she couldn't understand why all these people were coming in claiming to be physically addictive to pot she had one of the patients bring a sample in and they tested it and found Heroin.....But even though there may certainly be a mental addiction to pot, there is no physical addition to THC (active ingredient in Cannabis).  All I can say to that is it's disgusting, as drug users/abusers we never know what we are buying....Be warned.

pot was addictiong for me but the side effects when smoking and when quitting suck. you start to become paranoid and a little psycho and maybe even aluittle suicidal while smoking. and then when you run out and dont have it. bang. you get irratated way too easy have mood swings like a ***** and then you do weird stuff. lol. its not good. best thing to do is quit ive been sober now for 3 months. good luck

For alot of people, they just cannot understand man.. I was a pot head for the most of 12 years straight.. I was only off of the weed when I had pills, as I never mixed my drugs, and still never do.  Weed is very addicting(to certain people), but to others it is no big deal.  It seems like you are addcited and use the weed as a tool for escape of something. This might be pain, feelings, stress, ETC.. So you use the weed to self medicate those feelings.. This is what I did for so many years, and when I didn't have weed it was like an anxiety feeling, because I needed my weed to get me through(so i thought) ..

The best thing I can say is that every single day that you go without the bud, you will feel less cravings for it. Just like any drug there will be things and places and songs or people that make you feel like sparking one up, but the thing to do is just do whatever it takes to get past that trigger.. Everyday you go without will get better man, so keep your head up and BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!
