Marijuana Drug Abuse
Posted: 10-29-05 13:20pm

I have been smoking marijuana heavily for about a year now. I really want to stop smoking and it just seems to be draining me, and my pockets. I believe that I have been depressed for a while now becuase of my addiction. If someone could please help me it would be greatly appreciated.

Blayne…
i read your post, and here is my take.
Pot isn’t in the strictest sense addictive, but it is a drug.
And with most illegal drugs, we take them to change the way we feel.
That, of course begs the question, what is so wrong with the way I feel now that I want to change it all the time? Why do I feel the need to feel something different?

There is a school of thought that states that we are suffering from a disease who’s main symptom is an acute discomfort with stark naked content. And the cure for that disease is to take a honest look at who I truly am, make amends for the harm I have done to others in the past, and be of service to someone else, get out of myself.

In doing those things, I became much more satisfied with who I was. I don’t feel the need to alter my perceptions today, and I am glad of it. But I did the things I mentioned above and I stayed willing to grow spiritually.

p.S.
I smoked dope relatively non stop from the summer of 1969 until about five years ago.

Smoking Weed

I would recomend two things
1) psychodelic therapy- the use of psychodelic drugs to cure you imperfections, actually when I wanted to quit I used psychodelic therapy and I saw what it was doing to me and I just didnt have the drive to do it.
2) smoke something else, cigarettes I smoke them to now but atleast its legal

hope this helps

Which one is a lie?

The growing spiritually and giving up the alusion of living better through chemistry?

Or the interesting but ultimately futile attempt to find myself through psychedelics?

Or the just lame idea that cigarettes are anything like a valid substitute for reefer?

On the road to the good stuff,

This Is the Lie

"i smoked daily for last 5 years. I quit 10 days ago, and im not having problems"...This is not true I think, I have four doing it days without smoking and im feeling bad more and more. The psycodelic may be a solution, but is another drug, so well, depends on how mature you are dealing with it, may work for some and may not work for others.
