Oh boy we've just hit a lot of different aspects about drugs, but still relavent to the topic. I'll start here:
You would think so, but after waking up in COLD SWEATS four to five times per night in the withdrawal stages I would think that -YES- marijuana is physically addictive and I was chemically dependent. Any chemical you put in your body long enough will be processed normally and your body will get used to it. Obviously you've never been in a rehab clinic, but I have.
D I think your pot was laced since what you described was text book example of cocaine withdrawl. Yes I did those fucking retarded classes and theropy too, but for probably different reasons. Anyhow the chemical make up of pot is virtually benign to humans. That means it stays in your system for many years, but it does nothing to alter the functions of the body, EXECPT the brain. See THC is a neural supressant. All it does it get between the synapses of your brain cells and prevents them from firing and signals from being complete. This affects mostly coordination, empathy, creativity (why some can think more "clearly"), and cognitive perception. This is what leads to the "high" sensation and altered perception. But the chemical itself doesn't change the functioning of the rest of the body. Therefore the body will never develope dependance on THC. The brain however can develope dependance. Spend 12 years smoking a quarter or more a day, and no offense, you will have pyschological dependance on pot. And that is probably harder to break than a heroin addiction, at least thats what I've been told. Nothing I care to find out personally.
well i was JUST about to call my weed-girl, but nevermind looks like i wont mess wit the stuff as much as i use to.
This is why you might not want to call your weed girly:
Now another way pot can become addictive is if one mixes drugs, particularly with more addictive drugs. Chances are you never even realized your dope was laced with meth or coke or quite a few of other drugs as well. The combination of these chemicals lead to a dubble addiction- pot and what it was laced with. The amount of the other drug mixed with pot can vary. Chances are it was just enough to notice a greater high- but the weed made it seem like it was just the weed because the high is like you're on weed- not crack. Then you try to stop smoking weed but your mind is dependant on that feeling to be content so you continue to smoke pot and the more you smoke of the laced shit the more addicted you will become. But when you get a normal sac you can't tell the difference between the laced and the pure and so your mind makes the highs from both sacs as one and the same. I've seen this happen before. Somebody says they'll never try any other drug than ganja but get a laced sac and then they change their mind, an attempt to get that high the laced sac brought them. Its like having three months free service online. Its a gimick to get you to want the service. Ways dealers lace pot is mix it in the broken up parts, place a rock of crack at the bottom of the bowl (the resin of any laced pot will also contain the other drug) so your own resin can be what gets you hooked. Or they can put a line of shit in a joint, blunt. Or use the same tactics to turn your favorite bong/huka into a giant crack pipe.
Look back at my own life I've been in the dope game before so I know these things and its why I realized I had to quit dealing myself or become addicted and enslaved.- This is what this post has to do with this topic- safety. There just is no way to tell if your pot is laced or not. And even if you could tell would you waste your money and throw it away? Or say fuck it and smoke it anyways. Alot of people would just smoke it anyways.
Finnally if you do still want to use natural herbs for occutic purposes there are alternitives. Look on line keys words -legal buds and how to get them I promise you'll find legal, fake weed. It really can be just as good as the real stuff, its more expensive, but its legal all natural and potent. I suggest you use this instead of weed because this way you know its pure. Plus you can buy seeds and grow some super skanky, ultra stinky, mega potent kine bud. Or you can fake a terminal illenss and get the medical stuff, but thats fraud ;-). you can also find herbal ecstacy, mood enhancers in pill form and teas, incense, and de-toxifiers and so many more useful hemp products that I really can't believe pot is illegal.
Anyhow I'm sure some of you are pretty confussed now since in one post I supported pot and in another I warned against it so here is my philosophy about drugs- Any and all recreational drugs are luxary goods that can be used, but should not abused. If you need any of them you shouldn't be doing them. Ok? So use but use wisely. Now I'm taking my smoke break (I just learned I can type and roll at the same time!) sorry if I babbled during any of this....
