Weed

---

You can do it bro. Come on. Just sit it all down and chill for 5 weeks. BUT, when you start back up, make sure to control it at all times. Gets out of hand, stop for awhile. Get rid of all the alcohol and other shit drugs. Just stick to cananbis. Thats all you need

First off.. It's spelled Cannabis for future reference.2ndly.. You heard wrong, it is addictive - a lot like pot

Cannabis is the same as pot. (Well, strictly speaking, cannabis is the generic name for all members of the hemp genus, not just Cannabis sativa indica; but none of the others are psychoactive.)

It is not physically addicting.

Pot is not addicitive, i don't care what anyone saysAnyone at anytime can stop smoking pot, i've done it many times and i haven't smoked for nearly 7 months now

Maybe you're strong willed or just have a strong predisposition to addiction. To many people, it sounds like it IS addicting. Be glad that you can stop, but know that not everyone can do that. Some people get addicted to substances more easily than others, it's genetics.

cannibis is pot, same thing. usualy anyway, there are different strains of cannibis and pot is just a genral slang word for the ones containing active compounds like THC and other canibinoids. if thats spelt right. seccondly cannibis is perhaps not chemicaly adictive, and you definatley cant OD on it, but it is quite easy to get into a habit or pattern of smoking it, and well this can be pretty difficult to shift as ive noticed. and when your monged out your head all day its pretty hard to do anything constructive except smoke more and drink more, which eventualy leaves you in a bit of a mess. some types of cannibis can be addictive due to the fact they contain all manner of chemicals used to 'bind' them. cheap hash usualy is adulterated with chemicals to hold it all together, and these are often quite chemicaly adictive. being in europe i smoke my pot in joints, and the tobacco IS adictive. ive found myself smoking cigarettes now which is deffinatley not good. as for drinking well i can still drink anybody under the table, but i'm not anywhere near adicted, the hangovers make sure of that but yeah, i've not given up pot yet, but ive had a few days off it, i dont get the bad head when i dont smoke it, and ive finaly managed to start sleeping normaly. i guess the best way to not get a problem is never use 2 days in a row and only buy 'good' (i.e. expensive) weed.

ive just started smoking weed yes i have a child n NO he is no where near be when i smoke it nor am i looking after him when i smoke it he is usally out for the nite when i do it (just had to clear that up before someone went on saying how awful i was smoking weed when i was a mum) anyway i tell ya as soon as i had it i found it a hell of alot betta than self harming drinking or anything i aint promoting it or out but i sdont see any problem with the odd puff now n again u know.

As long as you keep it to "every now and again", and away from your son. May not be a good influence on him if he found out though, ya know?

i would never do anything like that around my son ever its very wrong i maybe gobby n as half of you have already said UNFIT to be a mother but well thats what u think isnt it so yeah i keep it well away from my son lol i dont even do it at my own house n as for once now n again its like once a week when ive gone out

i guess the key to staying on top of anything is make sure its only "every now and then" right now i'm about to get stonned off my face because i dont stick to every now and again.....

as for smoking when you have childeren, theres nothing wrong with that at all in my opinion. when your pregnant, its probably not so wise but solong as he is away from the smoke its all good i guess. correct me if i'm wrong

Don't show your son that you smoke weed untill he is much older to understand. Tell him young, he might get the 'if my mom does it, its okay' type of attitude. When he does get older, set him down and explain to him what you do and let him know its not a game. You have to be mature enough to handle it.

My dad smokes, and drinks too much sometimes. He's turned that around and used himself as a positive role model of what not to be. He's explained to me since I was little how those things have caused problems in his life, and how he wishes he'd never done them. To this day (mind you I'm only in high school), I'm one of the guys who WILL NOT smoke anything or do drugs, and have promised myself never to drink too much. He didn't tell me that he used to smoke weed when he was younger until not too long ago, since that may have been too much for a younger kid to comprehend properly, ya know. But anyways, his example, and attempts to cut back have been a good influence on me. I'm glad that he explained to me how horrible smoking/drugs can be and the same with alcohol, and I feel that it made me a better person. The point of this is so that, maybe, you can try to make a concious effort to explain to your son that addictions like smoking and drinking are bad, although you may not want to admit that you smoke weed until he's older.

thats something really positive that can come from heavy cannibis use, you want to help people not go down the same path. i know loads and loads of stonners, and a few smoke way too much, and do nothing with their lives, that for me is when cannibis become less of a recreational thing, more of an esential. when you smoke a lot of this shit, you get habits. today for the first time ever i found myself skining up as soon as i woke up, which was like 2pm. hence why i'm giving up, because i dont want my life to just pass me by, i want to do something with it. still i suppose clinton was a stonned and he was prez so maybe its not all bad

meh sod giving up, here comes budget enforced moderation

ok i have come to the conclusion that cannabis is actualy adictive. you might say that i'm wrong, whatever. i'm a real stoner, i do fuck all and genraly just smoke pot. now if i try to stop, i cant. i want a spliff. ive tried taking up smoking, drinking and even coke to get off weed but i just cant!!! i smoked all my stash and yesterday i found myself cleaning my bhong to smoke the oil, and today i collected all my roaches i had in a half ful can of beer and tried to smoke it, but it tasted like wet dog. while i love my herb, and always will, dont become a stoner, it isnt that much fun after a while. if anybody knows how to get cheap weed at 12:10am in hull pm me

I get that too. The first day is a bitch. You just reach for the pipe or bong but after you stop yourself the first day, its easy. If you do have problems keeping away for the first few days do this: Keep your mind off of it. Stay away from this forum (addictions forum) don't go to any pot related websites, no pot related music, no pot related friends. Just stay really busy. Stay away from whatever place makes you want it.

its sooooo hard.i last smoked on sunday night, and i'd be stonned now if i had weed. ive been smoking loads of fags, drinking shitloads, and well ive done desperate things to get stonned. i smoked my bong oil on monday night and i scoured my floor and smoked some wet roach ends on tuesday. i feel ok in the day, but avoiding monged stuff is hard as all my music is stoners music!!!!

Maybe you should actually seek drug help. I havn't smoked in a day or two and I havn't had a problem. I even have weed. Just told myself I need to take a little break and I am.

ive been debating if i should go to an NA meeting or not. i'm going to see my doctor tomorow to try and get something to help me sleep, because without my herb i cant get any rest and its driving me mad, although ive been putting it off because if i tell them i'm a heavy drinker/pot smoker i know they'l just tell me to stop doing that shit, which isnt the cause of my insomnia. as for NA, well i think it might help to go, but thats for people with real drug problems, people whos lives are sliping away from them, and while i'm not having much fun at the moment without drugs i dont know if i should go, plus its a pretty big hit to my ego and self respect if you know what i mean, but that all said, perhaps just talking to people who are in a similar position could reap rewards, i did some research on NA meeting round here and im considering going. ive tired drug helplines and the problem they have in this country is that they just try to be too laid back about it, and almost engourage you to go out and get stonned, so they are no help at all. i could just drink myself stupid, but then i'd probably end up an alcoholic so thats not a great idea. ah well, aint life a bitch
