Marjuana CAN be addictive..I know there are people that say that it isnt, or "I can stop whenever I want" but you have just proven that, that is not always the case. You have learned to rely on that high even it it was only once in a while. You have become addicted to it without even realising it. Now dont say your not addicted because you have already said you are suffering withdrawl..You cant suffer withdrawl from something you arent addicted to in the first place right? I would suggest a visit to your family doctor hon..get a checkup..start taking some vitamins..something to offset the feelings from not smoking the joints.  |

You are obviously intelligent, well spoken, and above all, you really know the answer to your question within. If you are concerned that this is affecting you, that should be sufficient to make the change to stop. There are support groups out there that do not require parental permission or knowledge for that matter. My addiction was alcohol, and I found that the support groups were by far the most helpful when I first quit. It's been over 5 years now, and I rarely go to meetings any more, however, I still stop by to visit many of the friends I made. I wish you the best of luck in your quest to stop. If there is anything else you might want to know from me, send a private message. By the way, this was a big step in confronting this and making a post about it. Well done my friend....  |

Well, seeing as how I'm sure that you didn't personally watch it being harvested, dried and packed, there is a very very strong possibility is was laced with something. In addition, marijuana (by itself) is just as addictive as cigarettes, if not more so, and you do get cravings and think about it all the time just the same. My advice to you, would be to find a support group (I'm not saying you have to join an organization, just find a group of people that you trust to help you through the tough times.) Take it one day at a time. Look at each day you don't smoke as a victory, and go from there. If what you have been smoking has been laced with something, you may experience some very very harsh withdrawl symptoms (vomiting, headache, nausea, diarreah, and even seizures depending on what it was laced with.) If you start experiencing harsh symptoms consult a doctor immediately! (Doctors by law MUST keep anything you tell them confidential regardless of if you are a minor or not.) I would suggest consulting a doctor anyway, just to be on the safe side.  |

well, i used to smoke pot all the time. i was 14, lonely, deppressed, and wanted to fit in. so i got high. i went and got high alot, until one day i skipped school with friends and got caught skipping school. and we got busted. they found nothing on us, and we only got a warning, but it scared me. and i stopped, it was really hard. but when i got the cravings to smoke pot i would drink chocolate milk. then i assosiated the cravings with chocolate milk and they went away. just a suggestion! it worked for me! hope i helped!  |

pot is extremely addictive..i think more mentally than physically..it's the numbness that is addictive i think..i smoked it for years and years..i stopped when i had children..even though there are times i still want it and it's been 19 years for me that i quit smoking it..anyways..just stay strong and try to replace that craving and wanting with something different..something safe...i wish you so much luck..i hope you can beat the cravings...  |

I wouldn't worry about the meth thing. You would have felt withdrawls pretty quickly if that had been the case. I just recently stopped smoking pot too... I had the same issues with troubles going to bed and wanting it thus making me really moody. I got through the sleep by reading before bed, that usually knocks me out right away, and as for the cravings they will pass. I stopped almost a year ago, and now, even when the opportunity arises, I just don't want any. Good luck! You will move on soon! :) |

It sounds like you are addicted and if you dont stop soon you could get hurt. I can tell your intelligent because you know its bad and it sounds like you want to quit. How old are you and how long have you been smoking marijuana??? If you don't give this info to me, I probably can't help you to what you can do. There are things you can do if your a teen and not an adult. if you don't want people to know, you could PM me. if you don't want me to know then thats okay and the best of luck to you :)  |

Okay, addiction is both physical and mental, but the most important thing to remember is that you're clean now. Addiction can be fought, and the best hting to remember is to treat everyday as a positive step. Count every day that you're not using as a victory! Also, contact Narcotics Anonymous: it's a support group that will give you the help you need, and you don't have to give your name if you don't want to. Also (I heard this from a guy who smokes the stuff) drinking water mixed with wine vinegar will clean the pot from your system. It will help get the remnants out faster than just waiting. Hang in there, and remember this: Drugs are for people who can't handle reality!  |
