well, first, i'll give you some background... i've smoked weed on and off for the past five years, and i would say that i "quit" just about four months ago. when i had stopped smoking i went through crazy withdrawals; ie. getting no sleep, anxiety/panic attacks, crazy thoughts, etc. i thought that i was going to have to put myself into rehab. thankfully i didn't. i eventually got over it, it did take at most three months for the withdrawaling effects to subside. okay, that's the background of it all. since i've "quit" i've smoked maybe up to ten times in the past four months. now, i'm completely bored with smoking and the effects of being high. i can 100% say that i do not want to smoke weed anymore, and i won't. i've just realized that there are so much better things in life than to have to make up your own reality, that being stoned all the time. it does feel much better to be sober and not have to spend all that extra money that i don't really have just to have maybe two to three hours of something that isn't that interesting. it's more like, what's the point? why would you want something that isn't that damn fun to control everything that you do? i don't know. i guess that i just grew up. smoking weed, to me, is kind of childish. you know? i just thought that i would share my thoughts for some reason, i just felt like it. i don't really expect anyone to write anything to this, i just wanted to say this...

perhaps you can take this new direction in life to learn how to apply paragraph returns.

I hate to burst your bubble but marijuana is not addictive nor does one go through withdrawl. I'm speaking from medical fact and personal experience.

How do you feel about beer?

i've taken a few months off now and again and maybe i had withdrawal, but nothing to the extent of what you described.
one thing i've heard from potheads who took some time off is that their dreams became more vivid, or something.
load of el crapola, i believe
but hey dude, whatever works for you. glad you're feeling better. watch out though, one of the side effects of quitting pot is feeling all self righteous...

There are 2 types of addiction. The one VR was referring to is physical addiction. By all current studies, pot is not physically addictive. However, one can also be psychologically addicted. This is likely what you experienced.
Psychological addiction is basically when you like who you are and how you act when on a drug, so you begin to "depend" on the drug in order to have confidence, and/or enjoyment. It acts similar to a physical addiction. It is also why hard-core drug addicts frequently end up back on drugs after they leave rehab - they are no longer physically addicted, but they felt better about themselves when they were on drugs so they relapse.

In reply to: that being stoned all the time
I smoked pretty much for 2 years and now just smoke once or twice a month. I still love being high, but as I sleep worse and worse after smoking, and as my sleep time is precious, I try to be careful now. I do think that the ganja we can get now from almost everywhere is really concentrated in THC. And I don't like it.

yeah it's getting to the point where finding home grown natural non-thc laden weed is the trick.
yes of course i'm hanging out in the thread about marijuana. what do you expect?

Due to a bout of uncustomary sanity, I can't help but point out the amazingly simple fact that it is very possible the above mentioned mental and physical symptoms fomented themselves in very clear and certain terms due solely to the fact that you were not constantly soaking in a fog of punj. In simple terms, welcome back from la-la land, how very nicely you blame your lack of health on a mild drug.(or lack thereof) Must retreat back into my mind, 6 minutes since last consumed adrenaline. Try kicking that one.

One of the side effects of not quitting is to take what anyone says about not smoking as a personal affront when it actually has nothing to do with them at all....I believe it's called paranoia.
