Back when i was 13 to 16 years old I used to use the computer alot... probably like more than 55 hours a week. I would rarely go out and my family would think i had no friends. I also developed a very bad case of laziness. I was so lazy I wouldn't even make food for my self. Another big problem the laziness affected me was that I would never do my homework and only play computer games. I used to be smart in school... If i had lower than an 80% i would be disappointed. Weed has introduced me to alot of new people. It gave me a more social life and without it I believe i still would be staying home all day playing computer games. Even though weed does make you more lazy, over using the computer is alot worse than weed in my opinion.

Computer addiction is worse than weed
-
You're probably right.Also, of course computer addiction is worse than weed. One is addicting, and one isn't.
-
Computer addiction sounds like me...I've been wanting to try weed for ages yet no matter what i do, i can't find anyone to try it with...cuz im not doing it along the first timei know people who smoke it its just...how do you really ask "hey i wanna try it?"it seems to be like if your a virgin, no one wants to do anything with you cuz your "unexperianced"
-
how do you really ask "hey i wanna try it?"That's exactly how you ask for it. I know if a friend came up to me and said "I wanna try it" I'd gladly let him smoke (after making sure he really wants to do it, and making sure he won't get into any immediate trouble after smoking, etc.)
-
Yeah, that's it. I think ppl who are having fun getting stoned will welcome about anyone to the party.
My 1st was a gf's brother. He KNEW we were virgins, so he asked us if we wanted to, and set us up. Made sure, I think, he had our keys.
Best time I ever had. All I rember was we giggled. About everything.
I get tested at work, cool bc I became allergic in college. Other stuff works too, like just having fun.
Still, that really was teh best time I ever had:)
-
Yeah, a freind i once had, she smoke weed all the timeI said "hey ive always wanted to try it, wanna hang out sometime n smoke?"She said "nah, you just don't look like the type of person who would wanna do that stuff and i don't think my freinds would like you"In other words im too nerdy and ugly to be in a social situation with a buncha stoners...
-
> I said "hey ive always wanted to try it, wanna hang out sometime n smoke?"
She said "nah, you just don't look like the type of person who would wanna do that stuff and i don't think my freinds would like you"If she really said that you shoud've replied with "Fuck you, I don't wanna smoke with you anymore anyway" and never talked to her.
That was pretty shallow of her.
-
people are all shallowbut "fuck you" only works if your worth somethingno "fuck you"'s coming from me would make a difference in anyone

You're out of your mind if you believe that the ONLY way to classify something as an addicting is by a chemical dependence.An addiction is any behaviour that becomes obsessive or intrudes upon the normal function of daily life; something that MUST happen to fulfill the day.Things like drugs (lets say: heroin, for example) are both physiologically and psychologically addictive; your body 'needs' the substance itself to feel normal; but you also have the urge to complete the physical steps (which, in themselves can lead to a certain high). Smokers get this a lot too; it's not just the nicotine that gets them, it's the act of ACTUALLY holding, inhaling a cigarette, etc.
-
You're comparing weed to heroin. You obviously know nothing about drugs.
-
Actually, I know enough; but I'm sorry I haven't used them (I guess I should be ashamed?) I've also seen more than enough fuck-ups at the end-result of their drug addictions.I didn't even mention weed in my post; I was simply stating that an addiction goes beyond just a base physiological need (THC, Caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, etc) and also includes a psychological addiction to behaviours (such as lighting up after a meal, or a morning cup of coffee while driving to work). Being addicted to the computer, internet, video games, risk-taking behaviours, sex, etc etc are entirely possible.
-
Coffee....I love the coffee "wanna be addicts" that you serve a cup of decaf to and within 15 minutes they are bouncing off the walls.Sorta proves your point. The ACT of drinking the coffee, gives them the high that they are looking for.
-
Im afraid I have to agree with you, and I didnt notice the weed is the same as herior in the previous post of yours. you stated that addiction is the same nomatter what the source is, and everyone knows weed is not addictive, atleast not physically. my big addictions are adrenaline, the outdoors, and Julie. Iv been reading shit from you for a long time now on this site, most times I agree with what you say, this is no exception.
-
Well, what I'm trying to say is the behvaiours lead to a reaction, not just the chemicals in something (Be it THC, nicotine, etc) You can see this in people who are given placebos; often regardless of any medically beneficial ingredients the person will get better or suffer 'side effects' as with a real medication.To some people, weed can be addicting, they NEED it to cool off after a day of work, or to have fun at a party (like cigarettes or alcohol) I should know; I've seen enough weed in the prisons to realize that people are willing to smoke something THAT CAME OUT OF ANOTHER GUYS ASS. If you can seriously go that far; you ARE addicted. (And just so everyone knows; I'm not anti weed...I just don't want to hear about it all the time, or see anyone acting like they're the first or only ones who do it; or see you going to work stoned, or driving while high)And yes, you can be addicted to the adrenaline rush from taking risk-taking behaviours (there are a great number of shop-lifters that actually just steal because it's a great thrill, and take things they don't need or will never use) An addiction isn't always a bad thing; it's just something you have to deal with so it doesn't become a focal-point of your life.
-
Yea, I don't smoke weed myself; but it's not too hard to tell that the stuff they had was all stems and leaves, lol. You could usually tell which range had the real mobsters or high-level gang members in it; they tended to get the best weed (something that wouldn't make your eyes water or give you the urge to throw up)
-
Being addicted to the computer, internet, video games, risk-taking behaviours, sex, etc etc are entirely possible.Ok, now I see what the problem was. You misinterpreted my first post in the thread.When I said "one is addicting the other one isn't" I was referring to the computer being addicting and weed not being addicting.

I prefer that my adrenaline comes form close encounters with death or the possabillity of death and or serious injury.
Boxing was adrenaline, fighting is adrenaline, climbing rock and ice is hard on enducing adrenaline.
One thing noonce can acuratly call me is a petty criminal or shop lifter.
as to driving high, couldnt do it! I am not capable of operating anything more complicated than a TV remote or a campfire when Im high. -
Every now and then, you know, those campfires get pretty complicated..lolbeen there done that. I'm warm, no one else is...
-
Oh no, I stare intently at camp fires when Im high, always watching and adding wood to keep it at the right level, never too low, never too high, I am the worlds most excellent camp fire attendant when Im high. I also am a cooking mother fucker high, I can operate a stove or oven, I have no patience waiting for the timer to ding so the food can be taken out and cooled to be eaten, but Im a god damned gourmet chef when Im high. In addition to that Im one hell of a oral/genital stimulator when stoned, I could lick that shit for hours high and never think about when Im going to get ym chance to get my dick wet.I have however, been on a boat and gotten too high to fish, that whole set the hook, reel it in grab the net all that shit fuck oh dear I was so baked I couldnt keep reeling it in the right direction, and setting the hook nearly made my buddy next to me lose an eye from my pole tip. If you can get ripped to the fucking gills high and fish, theres no way in hell you can drive when you have even a small buzz going on.
-
Then come get stoned and manage the "porch" fire we have...lolI get cold when I smoke. Should quit, but you know,,,
