Do you think weed is addictive?

>>936865872 (OP)
Yes. Not in the physical way like some other drugs, but certainly like many other "addictive" things such as video games, gambling, porn, and binge eating

Alcohol never clicked with me, but weed binges absolutely did. Unsure why, but for that reason I can't have it in the house.

>>936865943
facts

>>936865872 (OP)
Only mentally.

>>936865872 (OP)
When it relates to humans, Pepto Bismol is addictive.
>I-I can't stop getting fucked up until I fall down.

>>936866022
Yeah, I know this from first hand experience. Been puffing more or less daily about 10 years now.

I have been through periods of time where I stopped cold turkey (such as when I go abroad). Never felt physical withdrawal except maybe it's a bit harder to fall asleep.

But as soon as I'm back home I'm straight back it again. Just craving that constant stream of dopamine

>>936865943

Only to pussies with no self control.

>>936866302
It's been scientifically shown for decades, anon. Weed doesn't create any chemical dependence they way nicotine or opioids do.

>>936865943
Weed is definitely physically addictive, it will mess with your sleep if you smoke too often before going to bed almost comparable to sleeping meds, you will also get cranky when quitting. Everyone who says anything else doesn't smoke enough or doesn't know what he is talking about.

That being said it works very relaxing, especially on long overly stimulating days. Best tip is smoke in moderation like always.

>>936866389
I know man, but people seem to listen to anecdotes more than empirical studies

>>936865872 (OP)
100%

>>936865872 (OP)
it's not clear that cannabis can cause physical dependence, but it can cause psychological dependence resulting in a diagnosable substance use disorder
withdrawal from regular cannabis use isn't potentially fatal (as in the case of alcohol, benzodiazepines, or barbiturates) or as painful and unpleasant as withdrawal from opioids (aches and pains, hyperalgesia, anxiety, and diarrhea), but it's not a picnic,
and as with any substance that affects the central nervous system, it's best to stick to occasional, moderate use if you choose to indulge at all

>>936866661
True.

>>936865943
This

i would smoke weed every fucking day of my life if i could, life sucks nigger balls

>>936866785
I wish I enjoyed weed the way I did when is was 12-16 but after I started on OxyContin and opana I couldn’t be bothered to

I enjoy that first buzz after years of not smoking, but then I want to chase that high.

>>936865872 (OP)
habit forming for sure. Addictive? not for me. I have quit cold turkey (for months and even yrs) multiple times with zero physical withdrawal.

>>936866785
That's literally my excuse. Life is hard and I just need some vice to get me through. Most people here drink a lot. I think weed is much less harmful in the long term

>>936866899
I feel so damn stupid on weed though. It's like I default to my 16 year old thoughts.

Marijuana is good, but shouldn't be used every day like most people do.

>>936866899
>I think weed is much less harmful
>I think
Weed has serious long term psychological affects, on top of physical like the lungs. Alcohol can destroy your liver and melt your brain if taken to Kennedy-tier levels. Pick your poison I guess. Drinking occasionally doesn't turn you into a lifelong retard or hollow out your organs.

>>936866899
>think weed is much less harmful in the long term
if you smoke the plant material, you significantly increase your risk of COPD and various cancers, so in that case, i think plain old "less harmful" would be more accurate, only because alcohol is so destructive for multiple organ systems and the entire alimentary canal
if you eat or vaporize cannabis in a dry vaporizer, i think you start getting into "much less harmful" territory

>>936867118
I do use a vape tbf

>>936867054
Yeah I get that they are both bad. But if I drank as much as I'm on weed there is no way I could be functional like holding down a job

I think before legalization, it wasn't addictive because well, there was always a little bit of a fear you couldn't get more.

Now you can get an ounce which would have lasted most an entire year.

>>936865872 (OP)
very much so,but I still like it very much

I can't sleep without it. keep getting angry etc.

>>936874244
I don't make excuses, I just enjoy it at night. I feel good the next day and I don't hurt anyone.

>>936865872 (OP)
weed gave me schizophrenia.

>>936876129
same

>>936866572
That’s not a physical addiction though, that’s building a tolerance to the drug, sure you might be cranky and have trouble eating and sleeping but your body is not going to stop functioning because you went cold turkey for a week after smoking an ounce a day.

>>936865872 (OP)
Literally 0 people have died from a marijuana overdose or from withdrawal.

It’s not an opinion it is a fact that you cannot build a physical dependency on pot, it’s 100% mental.

I get nausea and bad indigestion when i try to quit. Been smoking a lot for over 12 years. Cant sleep without it. Have trouble eating. Crazy mood swings.

>>936876367
Pussy ass bitch faggot.

do or don't do what you want, why the fuck do you ask others for approval, faggot

>>936865872 (OP)
Yes- not in the sense of having physical withdrawals that can kill you like heroin- but it absolutely is. I started smoking as a preteen and didn't quit until my son was born years later. I would feel fucking miserable when I didn't have weed, lost my appetite, music sounded like shit, games were boring, everything. I still think about it, but haven't smoked in over 2 years.

>>936876727
sounds like not smoking is a miserable experience

>>936876551
I use to do roxies and cocaine and benzos and booze every day

>>936876727
You sound like a retarded fucking pussy

I used to smoke like 8 grams a day and quit cold turkey and nothing bad happened to me. Got to bed on time, ate three square meals a day, and still had a good attitude about shit.

All you faggots going through withdrawal need to work out more and eat right and you wouldn’t have had such a hard time.

>>936877011
That makes you an even bigger pussy, addiction having ass.

>>936877014
>used to smoke like 8 grams a day
For how many years?

>>936877053
Youve never felt as good as i have :) and if you were happy you wpuldnt ne here trolling

>>936877059
Over a decade. Quit because weed got boring. I drink sometimes now but mostly get my kicks out of going to the gym.

>>936877112
Says the bitch shaking so hard with rage he can’t even type straight. Go eat a dick faggot. You got drugs to do.

>>936877144
Why are you so angry?

>>936877210
I’m not. You just assume that because you’re mad and wanna project it onto me. Not everyone who calls people out is angry about it. Pussy.

>>936877258
Never met a consistently hostile person who wasnt angry about their life

>>936877370
Maybe you should get off the internet and meet more people then. You might learn a thing or two. Not everything is like your positivity chambers where everyone has to be rainbows and sunshine to be happy.

>>936876664
How many deaths are directly linked to marijuana consumption? You don't happen to have stock in a privatized prison, do you?

>>936877501
>Death is the only possible consequence from drug use
Being a terminal loser with no life skills is a fate worse than death tbh.

I’m about to leave for the gym so smell you losers later. I’m gonna leave one note though, if you had massive withdrawal symptoms from weed. You are a BITCH ASS PUSSY.

>>936877546
Then you should do something about your life.

Get high, deny Jesus, write crypto and stock trading algorithms, never need to work anymore, watch bank account balance reach the next million, buy mansion, drive nice car, never even think about food prices, ignore gold diggers, spend days reading and working out, life absolutely and totally ruined by weed!
Its all about what you do when high, stop jerking off and playing computer games you low function poor people lol

>>936866218
What

>>936877440
I have met a lot of people. The more shitty people act the more miserable and shitty they are on the inside. You are clearly unhappy.

Yes, you can experience physical withdrawal symptoms from marijuana, though they tend to be milder than those from substances like alcohol, opioids, or benzodiazepines.

Common Physical Withdrawal Symptoms:

Headaches

Sweating

Chills

Stomach pain or nausea

Loss of appetite

Sleep disturbances (e.g., insomnia or vivid dreams)

Tremors (less common, but possible in heavy users)


Psychological Symptoms (often more intense):

Irritability

Anxiety

Depressed mood

Restlessness

Strong cravings


Who’s Most Likely to Experience Withdrawal?

People who used heavily and regularly (especially daily or near-daily use)

Users with high-potency THC products (like dabs or concentrates)

Those who have used for a long period of time (months or years)


Timeline:

Symptoms begin: 1–3 days after quitting

Peak: Around days 2–6

Resolve: Usually within 1–2 weeks, though some sleep and mood issues can linger longer


While not life-threatening, marijuana withdrawal is real and can be difficult — especially for those using it to self-medicate for anxiety, insomnia, or depression. If quitting is tough, medical support or behavioral therapy can help manage symptoms and prevent relapse.

>>936878352
never had the slighest withdrawal symptoms ever. quit multiple times for long periods.

>>936865872 (OP)
nope, time scale is wrong for addiction, i think it is like a year of emotion dysregulation or something.

>>936878879
I find it hard to believe that you smoked all day every day for years and felt 0 negative affects from quitting tbh

>>936877897
seriously everybody died and then things got even worse, so then I started smoking weed and things got way way worse a little after that. And yeah I could've maybe not spent any money at all right then and actually bought a few bitcoin right then when it was 80 bucks but like I was saving up for cars that just would break down, all bc my parents dying ruined my credit and even with literally everything happening if at least my credit didn't get ruined, I'd be sitting around smoking weed all day with millions in the bank like it is actually possible and everyone is just actually stupid for putting so much effort into their stupid lives when if they just had way more money they could hire other people to even give a fuck about anything goddamn every day of my life is literally 24 hours of ptsd haha

>>936879384
if I quit my job rn I'd have no reason to need to smoke weed tbh. It would disappear like that

Me and my friend went half on a Q of Papaya Runtz
I think we got scammed he doesnt - What do you stoners think solve our dilemma

>>936878352
>Users with high-potency THC products (like dabs or concentrates)
I have only ever experience THC WD from carts
All to be fair I was using shitty 1g boof carts for 2 months non stop, but the week after stopping felt like hell and a dream non stop
I only snapped out of it fully after a long break

>>936879875
I used to get several ounces and a quarter of wax and some edibles per month in colorado. Some high testing shit.

It might not be a chemical dependence, but the habit of smoking, the dopamine hit, the feeling of being high, they're all addictive.
I noticed that I didn't dream when I smoked. When I quit, my dreams were downright cinematic. They were like movies. Plots, lines, cast, settings, all of it. Dreams came back big time.

>>936869429
>I think before legalization, it wasn't addictive because well, there was always a little bit of a fear you couldn't get more.
That's true. it was more exciting when it was illicit. I live in Massachusetts and have about 10 dispensaries within 20 minutes of me. Before, I had to try and sneak around and hint that I might want some, and my dealer was sketchy as fuck. It wasn't cool buying weed when her 7 year old son was there.
It wasn't good for me. It definitely sapped my energy, and I got the Munchies in a big way. It was like a constant stream of food, and I couldn't control it. Not cool.
