Pot Is Addictive

Yeah, I ended up in the .E.R after taking a .Zoloft tablet, clinging to the ceiling and screaming my head off. It was like a horrible acid trip. That never happened with MJ.

BUt, you know...I am suspicious of people who use the "medical marijuana" case to allow them to smoke pot legally...and in excess. It seems like some supporters are just pot heads. But what did potheads really ever do to hurt anyone? I think that the shame is simply in lost time and opportunities.

I have to slightly disagree. "Smoking" itself, is addictive. I dont care if you are smoking nothing but .. oxygen. The action of taking in air or smoke though a tube, and blowing it out is addictive itself. It gives you a feeling, like you are doing something active.

Yes pot does give you a good feeling, and its something you may want to come back to or even depend on to keep you in a good mood. However, the same can be said about cigerettes. I still stand strong, when I say that some people are addicted to the act of smoking, and the substance has little or nothing to do with their habbit.

I don't really view pot as bad because it's addictive. Caffiene is addictive. I don't think pot does any more harm than tobacco.

I was actually addicted to soda. I needed that shiny aluminum can to make me feel better, or to fill in a hole so to speak.

Whatever you are taking, pot or soda its your responsibility to make sure your not going overboard.

what he heck?!?!where did my post go?I didn't think there was anything bad in it

Nah! Pot is not addicitve. Prove me wrong

i think again its more of a psycological dependancy.

however i dont see any harm in it if its just grown and smoked. not all this added stuff they put in some of it now days

alcohol and tobacco are man made weapons...
sure tobacco is a plant that grows just like pot
but do you know how many chemicals they ad to it now?
rat poison? eww

Does it matter if it is physically or mentally addictive?

If it's physically addictive, that's a shot against mj and not the user.

If it's psychologically addictive, that's a shot against the user, but can't blame the pot!

I think it depends on who wants to blame what.

In the end, if it's addictive it's addictive and although treatment modalities may differ, the end result has to be the same.

pot is not addictive. my boyfriend has smoked it regularly for ten years but can and .h.a.s stopped whenever he feels like it. He has stopped when he is low on money or for lent, for example. he smokes it because he likes to smoke it, not because he is addicted.

i hate all this nonsense about psychological addiction. you could say you were psychologically addicted to chocolate just because you didn't have the will power to stop eating it! to say you are 'addicted' to pot makes a mockery of people who have genuine addictions to drugs where your body becomes dependent on them and you get withdrawal effects and suchlike...

to say you are addicted to pot is denying your own free will. my boyfriend's body is not designed in a radically different way to anyone else's, so if he can give it up easily then so can anyone. some poeple are just strong people. if you are not then it is a problem with .y.o.u, not with marijuana.

Yes fiona, you CAN say you are psychologically addicted to chocolate. Psychological addiction is not a joke and it is NOT fake.

Again, in case you didn't read, a psychological aka mental addiction is VERY different from a physical addiction. A physical addiction causes withdraw symptoms and the like, you're right. However, that doesn't mean that psychological addictions don't exist. They do.

If you have never been psychologically addicted to anything then you cannot say it is just denying your own free will. Psychological addictions can be as difficult to stop as physical addictions.
