You are an addict. My dad is the same way, smoked weed since he was young, acts perfectly normal on it. But, you take him away from it for a week and he shows his addiction.
Though extremely biased off one single reference point, marijuana is no more addicting than sugar is. It's just the facts, I'm sorry if you aren't okay with it. I've smoked heavily, stopped, then lightly and the only difference is maybe a week of irritability, which is even better than cigarettes, that causes long term constipation, agitation and restlessness for at least a month. Maybe your dad has major depression or anxiety, and it's not being legitimized.
I wouldn't compare the addictive-ness of weed and sugar. Sugar is INSANELY addictive. Weed is mildly addictive if anything. May be different for different people, but I'd personally argue Sugar is more addictive/harder to quit than hard stimulants like Meth.
Again, from my experience, not really. I actually can't eat much sugar at all because it makes me sick. It does to most people who don't consume a lot of it. Same with weed, I can't really smoke a lot anymore cause it makes me sick, plus it's wasteful and pointless. Just like sugar.
Being clear here, I'm referring to artificial sugars and sweeteners. And meth, opiates and sometimes alcohol are almost impossible without a lot of dedication and strength since they alter you in many ways, sometimes permanently, not so as much as sugar. I see you are agreeing with me mostly, just wanted to offer what I've seen since I've been around it a lot.
With all that being said though, most importantly, with govt getting involved in weed production, it's highly probable that they can manipulate strains and everything and anything could happen to you, so be careful where you get your bud and ask questions.
I don't do sugar. Largely a keto diet these days with a handful of supplements to ease the ills that flesh is heir to. But I love stimulants because they work. Makes the brain buzz for a bit. I limit myself to coffee and nicotine otherwise I would spend the rent.
Sugar is highly addictive.
Not really. You can cut out sugars basically instantly if not in extreme cases gradually if you want to, unless you suffer from a medical condition. Anything else smug to say?
Yes really. Go carnivore and suffer extreme "keto flu" (withdrawal)
We don't know that, Internet Doctor. I suspect that's true, but you don't know until you quit cold turkey and start feeling terrible cravings and maybe some withdrawal symptoms. That's the indication of physiological dependence. A lot of people have the psychological dependence too. It's "force of habit." It "helps me relax after work." It 'helps me focus at work or be more creative." Whatever, but we don't know til you cut it off and this person has told us nothing to indicate one way or the other.
10% of marijuana users do develop addiction, and I guarantee you 99% of those addicts deny it, just like alcoholics or other drug addicted people. Its the nature of the disease. People don't want to admit to themselves that they're no longer in control of their bodies and minds. The substance has control. This is why treatment programs are so insistent on making addicts understand it and say it. I think with weed, too, the side effects that come with THC addiction are so mild, it's just not seen as harmful, like how we approach caffeine addiction, and that's why people are so resistant to acknowledging it.
I was addicted to weed, it controlled my life and I hated that, I prayed to the Lord to take it away from me and he did. I woke up the next morning not wanting a smoke at all and never have touched the stuff since.
Praise the Lord!
I smoke 1-2 times daily, got my ENGR degree just last month. Smoked through the whole program.
Not getting enough THC is nowhere even close to not getting enough caffiene. I'm sure unhappy when theres no weed when I want some, but not having any coffee available when I need it is a fucking disaster.
For me THC feels like a "continual want" But caffiene feels like a "NEED"
Reefer madness!
Yeah, me too. Sort of like being an addict to air, water and food. It keeps my IDGAF factor in the sweet spot. Dealing with humans is hard work for some of us. Both left and right.
Oh yes. I agree. Weed is just as important to humans as air, water and food. If you are ever lost in the woods, you can die, 3 minutes of no air, 3 hours of no weed, 3 days of no water, and 3 weeks of no food.
How did you "take him away from it"
I forced him to go to my wedding which was across the country. He drove, but got stopped by police twice, they made him get ride of it.
At gun point?
