>stops smoking weed and has a shitty couple of days
Oh no you poor thing, that's awful. Luckily, the heroin hidden in your weed didn't shut down your nervous system. Thanks for sharing your story user, you're so brave.
Angel Collins
11 years daily. Quit about 3 months ago. Feels good man.
Ryder Perry
>For the past 6 years I have smoked weed multiple times a day EVERY DAY.
Wait, lemme guess, the weed is the problem...
Joshua Lee
Duh? When people say you can't get addicted to weed they mean you can't get addicted chemically you fucking moron. You can get addicted to eating dick, doesn't mean you are addicted in sense of IF I DON'T SUCK DICK I GO THROUGH WITHDRAWALS!
Wyatt Smith
so you're saying you are addicted to dick?
Michael Thomas
Learn Wim Hof breathing techniques. Meditate often, your brain chemistry is fucked up because all the happy shit is released when getting baked. Now you don't have that extra easy method for extra serotonin and dopamine. Meditating and breathing can balance everything again.

Samuel Reyes
Are you hard of comprehension?
Jonathan Adams
The negative side effects of quitting will go away after a while. You never actually experienced sobriety, you only experienced withdrawal. Try again.
Matthew White
what's you pityful weed addiction in comparison to my mighty air breathing or water drinking addiction? Don't be a pussy.
Christopher Perry
kek
Adrian Allen
Just smoke less. You don't have to quit.
Faggot.
Also this >addicted to weed
Lmao
Luke Taylor
When i quit i would wake up covered in sweat, and i swear to god, everyone was trying to cut me off on the road.
Aiden Adams
perfect example of "weed doesnt make you paranoid"
Levi Anderson
Try quitting a serious addiction to alcohol and/or cigarettes, then get back to me. I've quit all three at various points in life, for various reasons. Weed doesn't even register on the scale. Also quit benzos after 6 months of daily use, and that puts the alcohol/smokes to shame as well.
Anthony Baker
well duh
James Garcia

Ryder James
Greetings basement dweller!
Either self medicate with weed or go on the man's pills. DECIDE and fuck off
Mason Clark
if you can stay away from it 3 weeks you can stay away from it for good.
Joshua Stewart
Things you can get addicted to (that also aren't chemical): Gambling Technology/video games Social media Masturbation/porn Food Exercise Etc.
What's your point op? There's a woman that's addicted to eating cheesy potatoes and she's fat as fuck.
Josiah Sullivan
I've also seen a Woman addicted to eating chalk, fuck knows how she figured that out.
James Gonzalez
I don't think OP intended to have this turn into a pissing contest.
Kevin Hill
Also, why haven't you killed yourself? Surely the mental anguish from cutting tree smoke off was really intense? Maybe you just have shitty mental disorder genes and should be on an antidepressant to balance out.
Jaxon Green
8years of smoking all day errday agreed with OP this drug is gay as fuck and get you addicted like wth
Hunter Phillips
You will eventually develop lung cancer from long term use.
Christopher Powell
Must suck to have an addictive personality mr trips
Giving up weed is easy. I do it for a past time. Smoke for a month stop for a month. I smoked for 3 years straight and just stopped. Weed can give you a euphoric addiction but it's not that bad. I was on morphine and tramadol for nearly a year and kicked that. You don't shit about addiction untill you try giving that shit up. Man up you bitch your throwing tantrums because u can't have what you think you want. All you need to do is replace the routine of smoking weed with something else I.e. exercise or fapping
Hunter Roberts
Marijuana releases dopamine when you smoke it and the brain is chemically deprived of dopamine when you stop. Irritation, sweating, headaches are withdrawal symptoms. Insomnia comes from the brain getting used to a boost in Melatonin (huge boost) while smoking.
Get L-Tyrosine (precusor to dopamine) and Melatonin (for sleeping) and try again
After 3 weeks I felt a lot better and I was able to start smoking on weekends again
Levi Long
and so you proceed to smoke, but tomorrow you ll well.. atleast start monitoring your use. is it 5 times a day? 3 times? well in time you can cut back to once a day. if you manage that, try once a day but only a light joint. if that happens, when that happens, it will take you a lot of time probably to get here, you might enjoy your new found controlled addiction or, proceed cutting back.
cut back to one clean day a week, preferably a day where you have to do something (or the exact oposite,m i dont know you or how you work). ok, great, a soberday every week, nice, from that point on you see many previous addicts go cold turkey, or go cold turkey once in a while for a week or so. it s not the heaviest addiction, it s just a confusing addiction where your reality gets foggy and green and smoky and weird. dont focus on it too much, i use 0,40 grams every day from the doctor to stay functional. if it s a medicine, you re probably OK quitting over time
Sebastian Powell
Way to confirm what every non-autist already knew, that mental addiction exists. Idiots like you are why shit doesn't get legalized.
Christopher Roberts
Yet gambling and alcohol are a-ok
Robert White
Smoked weed heavy since 15, been sober for 2 years actually today.
Took my last bong rip on Halloween 2 years ago.
Happy 2 years birthday, me.
Isaac Morgan
oh shut up i even think he s not that addicted. yeah, there s some vague hierarchy in addictions:
1. smoking cigarettes 2. heroin 3. your mom 9/11 weed or something whatever it was.
point is, he s just a little fucked up right now and needs to cut back his use so he wont get seriously fucked up.
Carter Rivera
You can get addicted to anything. Food, soda, even weed. When people say it's not addictive they mean not chemically so. You're a very weak-willed person that should be careful of their intake of anything. Don't ever do coke.
Elijah Robinson
>Way to confirm what every non-autist already knew
implying our civilisation isn't renewing itself because of people having babies who need to learn everything about this world including effect on marijuana. This is not because you know something that everyone does
Christopher Cooper
Been smoking weed since I was 16, 24 now. Don't smoke everyday, but I do smoke every week. Never had any bad side effects, guess it hits people differently.
Landon James

Evan Perez
Unfortunately the anti-weed propaganda of yesteryear has been replaced by pro weed propaganda. Weed isn't the devil but it by no means harmless or not addictive. I smoked for 3 years every day and it had a huge negative effect on my life, Ive not smoked for 4 years And will never smoke again.
Asher Barnes
To all of you "my addiction is worse hurry duuur go shoot some heroin and we'll talk" I can't speak for OP but we have smoked about the same amount of time and I know exactly how he feels. I quit for 3 months at one point earlier this year and even after the three months my brain was dull as fuck and I had an extremely short fuse.
Sorry I'm not degenerate enough to get hooked on fucking opiates, I have a job and actually look forward to a future. OP is not saying harder drugs are harder to kick, I've been around dope sick people and I know it's no joke. But also I have stopped smoking cigs (8 year smoker) before I even attempted to quit weed and it was so much fucking easier than quitting the pot.
I guess what sucks the most is this preconceived notion that weed is harmless. Which is 100 percent true when you take a toke maybe only a couple times a year. It changes your brain chemistry when used 24/7.
Nolan Sanchez
>Implying this info isn't made readily available so those babies don't have to "learn" by doing retarded shit
Stop defending your stupidity.
Weed shill detected. He has all the signs and I've known people personally with the same issue. If you do something too much it becomes a habit that is hard to stop, especially when chemicals are involved, natural or not.
Nathan Diaz
>It changes your brain chemistry when used 24/7 Unlike all the readily available legal drugs in the world?
Michael Bennett

Bentley Wilson
ITT people who can't possibly understand.
I have a special knockout combo of ADHD, Social Anxiety and Major Depressive disorder. This makes me highly susceptible to addictions others might not have a problem with.
I used to drink every single night for a few years until I transitioned to weed. I figured weed will kill me slower than alcohol but this is a superficial choice because ultimately my mismanaged mental problems are the real problem and likely yours as well. After smoking every day for a few years I have also tried to quit on several occasions. The insomnia, night sweats and severe agitation are what always send me back to smoking again. I just went 15 days without smoking at all, the second week is easier than the first but I still relapsed because I am just not ready to quit.
Currently trying to stick to a very strict smoking allowance. I'm having some luck with motivating myself to get into shape by only allowing myself to smoke when I commit to jogging 5+ miles. Not allowing myself to use it to go to sleep but rather as something to get my ass up and out.
Actually working so far. Weed kinda revs me up a bit and gets me moving more than it gets me tired anyway.
Currently have a FUN reason to exercise and it's better than the crippling depression.
We'll see how long I can maintain this. So far it's been three days and I've managed to only smoke ONCE, just ONE SINGLE HIT each day earlier on and I've been doing great so far. Since I took over two weeks off the high hits pretty hard since my tolerance is so low.
Trying to get FIT then hoping I can count on my prescribed antidepressant and fitness to actually kick the habit and get back into school.
Take baby steps OP, don't try and do everything all at once because you WILL relapse. Each day use this mantra "Just for today, only for today I will _____ (Not smoke, workout, whatever you want, just take it one day at a time).
Hunter Miller
Yea but only a very small % of people abuse soda or burgers, most people who smoke weed smoke a lot.
Adrian Brown
I feel ya.
I used to go to a therapy where the general idea they had was not to do things / meet people / go places that remind you of weed.
Yeah, great. Except every aspect of my life does remind me of weed. I am able to function normally while high, thus was high more often than sober. Everyting just feels better after you hit it - work, driving, food, sex, video games, swimming, books - you name it. Right now even if I go to grab something to eat, there's "oh it would taste so much better if I was high" in my mind instantly.
Withdrawal isn't really that terrible for me; yes, I get irritated a lot easier and have mood swings for the first few days, but it's not that bad. It's just after some time I get bored with not being high, just like that. Bored to the point that everything seems blank and lame and pointless. Once that pointlesness (is that a word?) gets me, I break and go to another at least monthly cycle of being stoned almost non stop.
Right now it's my 7th day of not smoking. Already thinking about it hard enough for me to know I'll break in few days.
Jaxon Brooks
If you are a mentally weak person its easy to get addicted to something but well thats just your behaviour. Ive smoked dank for the last 3 years every day, but only in the evening or when there isnt anything better to do.
Cameron Cooper
ever smoke weed with benzo? any negative effects?
Jason Rivera
That's probably because it's a lot better than soda or burgers
Noah Green
>Special knockout combo of shit that mostly doesn't exist
God I have to work with one of you faggots, kill yourselves or get over it. ADHD is the only one that even kinda exists from that list, and not as much as people think...Social Anxiety and Depression, kek...grow up, we all have those, some of us are just not weak enough to be crippled by it, you fucking degenerate.

I used to smoke lots or cannabis but now I only smoke cigarettes. I would honestly rather die of cancer than be a braindead, forgetful, lethargic asshole

Its really not, people who say oh weed is great bla bla are the kind of people who have been smoking for a few months. Give it a few years and you will have a different opinion.

Sweet. I can smoke for another 4 years before my adiction starts. Thanks for the tip
William Collins

United states is not a good representation of humans. Sorry.
Noah Rivera
>Yes you can get mentally addicted to weed good distinction, as there is no evidence that it causes physical dependency, unlike many other recreational drugs.
addiction is often mental, so if you are serious about quitting you may want to seek psychological support to back your effort. or just live with it.
Andrew Hill
No, you just don't actually have any of those things, you simply experience them and then your brain allows you to move on. Our brains don't do that.
It's really easy to say it isn't real when you don't suffer from the actual disorders. This is why it's so hard for people whose brains are actually fucked up. lern2doctor
Robert Lopez

Daniel Peterson
Seeing as it's been about 17 and I still don't eat many burgers or drink any soda I'm gonna have to disagree.
Isaac Murphy
No fucking shit, what I'm saying though is weed activist have made it out to be harmless. I started daily when I was 16 years old, every God damn song had weed references, medical legalization was booming, and I lived in a super small town where literally everyone but the religous nuts got stoned.
Of course I am not near as impressionable now, but in high school everyone wants to fit in and stick their pre mature ejaculating dicks in something and weed was a great way to fit in for that to happen. If only I had KNOWN that chronic weed use fucks your shit up in the long run, I would have never started.
Joseph Hall
True that
Matthew Phillips
Yeah, YOU can. Weak minded pathetic little faggots can be controlled with anything.
Dylan Russell
You're just a little bitch. Don't blame your shitty life and its problems on weed because it is easier for you than taking responsibility for being a lazy, short tempered, piece of trash human being.

Matthew Reed
maybe you're actually depressed and you self-mediacate?
if you have emotional problems when you're off pot, you probably need actual therapy.
Parker Lopez
I agree, when you start smoking you buy into all the pro weed shit because you sort of think hey I feel good after smoking weed and I'm not fucking dead, only after a while do cracks show.
Aiden Garcia
Chronic anything use fucks you up user, that's your cross to bear, you're pretty lucky it was weed and not something more terminal. If you couldn't figure out that taking drugs which alter your brain chemistry in high quantity for extended periods of time by the time you were old enough too then an anti weed campaign wasn't going to help you.
Jack Jones
This is why ham beasts get so worked up when people tell them to just stop I imagine. You can get mentally addicted to literally everything. I knew a guy a few years ago who's life was running, like that was his thing. He had to have his run every day, couldn't live without it. Suffered an injury and couldn't run anymore, killed himself about a year later.
On the other hand, like you, I smoked multiple times a day for 7 years and stopped in a day with zero effect/difference in my behavior or attitude. Changed absolutely nothing. That was three years ago and I've never had any inclination to start again.

Sebastian Diaz
So what, are you the poster child for straight edge? Being an adult sucks. Working sucks. Being married sucks. Kids suck. Life sucks, get the fuck over it. Either do something recreational that you enjoy or don't focus on the shitty parts of life. Why do you think alcohol and weed are such a part of modern culture? You think it's because the big bad evil weed consortiums are running the world?
>Of course I am not near as impressionable now
Go take a fucking shower and shave your fat neck.
Anthony Campbell
The thing is my life is great, I finished college and have a good job. Yeah I have a short temper when I quit but it doesn't make me a piece of shit. Idk if you smoke or don't but either way, if you do smoke you're in denial it's fucking your brain and if you don't smoke and have never experienced quitting a heavy weed habit your opinion is 100 percent irrelevant to me.
Jason Rivera

I kinda feel what op is selling. Granted 2 years of consistent use has left me very me mildly anxious but I only zone out when i'm among huge crowds.
However quitting wasn't all that bad.
I smoke cigs like a dipshit and I struggle to put them down for more than two days at a time.

You gotta take breaks. I smoked for 4-6 months nonstop at times, been a grumpy fuckhead for 3-5 days after, and then just boring sober life. I had 2weeks to 2 month breaks over the past 6 years several times though, and spent 10 months clean.
After 10 months clean, I've realized my life is just as aimless, unproductive and boring completely sober, as it is when smoking daily, except I never have any fun. Now I spent the summer high and aside from fapping way too much, there've been no downsides.
I never get panic attacks or anxiety though, if I did, I'd stop smoking the thing forever, when I smoke its a positive experience every damn time.
Asher Cooper
You sound like an all around weak individual... If going on a marijuana tolerance break for ten days turns you into an emotional psycho you should probably get rid of your vagina and grow a pair of balls.

It's the habits you grew accustomed to. That's why it's generally considered bad for teenagers to do much more than experiment with cannabis, you're still developing your mental and physical abilities, and if cannabis is involved with that routine, you can personally attest to the outcome.
It's the same as diet coke addiction, or addiction to any other ritual you practice daily. Your days are so shitty now because the lens through which you learned to view the world has just about always been frosted over with the Vaseline of cannabis. You gotta learn to deal with reality before you escape it, lest you think everything's great until you find out it ain't.

(not OP) After I quit cigarrettes I developed a very serious taste aversion. I can't stand the smell or the taste of tobacco smoke at all; on top of that it causes immediate and serious distress to my health. One puff on a joint with tobacco and I'll be croaking for days.
As a result I roll only pure weed joints. No one understands my reasons for doing this no matter how many times I tell them and all my pot head friends think I'm some kind of extremist.
