Stoner

There is chemical addiction and there is psychological addiction. Weed might not be chemically addictive but it can sure be psychologically addictive which is true with most stoners.

You smoke weed every day because you are mentally addicted.

I smoke weed everyday to quiet the cacophony that is our insane world.

We both have mental health issues.

Weed is illegal federally, but it keeps getting produced at a state level. This really worries me, si to try to rectify this situation, I have just been buying and burning as much as I can. I don't know how much of an effect its having because I just keep seeing more pop up.

I will continue despite it seeming more and more like a fools errand.

Because a lot of them probably have undiagnosed ADHD or Autism and don't realize what they're trying to help by doing it or why it's helping.

I drink coffee everyday. I will rise my cup of Joe to the stoner. I get you bro.

Marijuana is absolutely physically addictive as much as people want to say it isnt. Mind you im someone who smokes the minute they leave work until they go to bed. So im not here to push any kind of anti-marijuana view point, but i do think we as stoners should be honest. Everyone i know who stops smoking weed has two very common side effects.

They have a lot of trouble getting to sleep
Wild/fucked up dreams.

I understand that this is a side effect of lack of REM but you cant say these aren’t physical withdrawal symptoms. Research is needed, but just because we all want it to be legal, doesn’t mean we should ignore the facts.

Cuz weed fuckin rocks bruv.

There's withdrawal but of the four drugs i have been physically addicted to (caffeine, weed, nicotine, and SSRIs) it's the only one I can cold turkey in under a week and feel fine.

I don't have to.

I want to.

Honestly, I use it about once a week. I have friends who get drunk more frequently then that. I can see why people would use it every day but they shouldn't imo.

Weed is not going to ruin your life the same way like benzos and alcohol would. If you smoke everyday then you probably aren't very productive, but you are not actively ruining your life.

Weed is dangerous because of how safe it is. It makes you ok with being bored and not progressing/growing as a person. Alcohol addiction will straight up make you homeless.

As someone who smokes weed way too often... I do it because I'm addicted to it and anyone who says it's 'habitual not addictive' or they're just 'medicating' is in denial

Why? My guy, have you seen the world? Have you seen how people treat each other? If you don't smoke I don't know what the fuck you're doing, but if it's to be "a moral and upstanding citizen" I both laugh and cry at your blissful ignorance.

I'm in this picture and I don't like it.

(I've stopped spreading the "not addictive" BS, but am still very addicted)

Every single person on this planet is addicted to one thing or the other. Basically we are genetically junkies. We strive for pleasure. Simple as that. I found pleasure in weed many years ago and I don't have any moral or other intention to quit. I just don't give a ....

Because I have a medical license to help with my PTSD. Hilariously the government will fully pay for weed for me but won't pay for actual prescription medication for my mental health.

You see, I think drugs have done some good things for us. I really do. And if you don't believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor. Go home tonight. Take all your albums, all your tapes and all your CDs and burn them. 'Cause you know what, the musicians that made all that great music that's enhanced your lives throughout the years? Rrrrrrrrrrrreal fucking high on drugs. The Beatles were so fucking high they let Ringo sing a few tunes. -Bill Hicks

Nobody HAS to. They want to, so why not.

Why do you look at your cell phone every day, are you addicted?

It's a choice. I could stop any time I like!

Because habitual doesn't mean addictive, I also have a problem with peanut butter cups.

Because I'm bored, I don't smoke when I have to do shit like work. But I'm never doing shit.

Because before it my ADHD made it functionally impossible to sleep, since when I'm not on the meds my mind runs too hard and when I am on the meds I can't sleep either because they're prescription meth, but weed solves that problem and I enjoy sleeping.

Well it really isn't addictive as opiates for example are. You wont become chemically dependant to it. The kind of addiction it causes is the same one that social media, TV, gaming, etc might cause. It becomes an habit and you get used to that. I know this is a simplification but this is how I see it.

I'm a medical user and I'm absolutely admitting to my dependance on it. Because otherwise I'd be in pain and not in complete control of my body and mind. I never get red eyes, tho

My brother is definitely addicted. He smokes to calm himself down, but is just as angry, if not more, after. He's been smoking so much for so long that he can't even imagine what it's like without it.

Weed def has some mild physical withdrawal, but nothing like opiates/benzos/or alcohol. It's not soul crushing ftmp.

But I consider anything needed outside of myself to function as an inconvenience, so that's pretty much life as a whole. Damned if you do damned if you don't. Gotta consume the world to experience it. I try to limit my consumption these days.

The only point of saying weed is not addictive is to say you can quit with no negative repurcussions.

Now, if you become dependant on it for one reason or another, that's addiction.

Hey!!! Listen here you... I've been smoking weed since 1998 and I can stop anytime I want!

I thought this shit was left at reddit

I mean, everybody has a vice, for me it's my phone and social media, I habitually check it every 5 or so minutes, it is an addiction but at least it isn't physically damaging like cigarettes

I acknowledge I'm addicted. I smoke every day, but it doesn't have any negative effects on my life. I guess I'm a "productive stoner type" and the same can't be said for everyone but in general I think it makes my life better.

Because it helps me focus during tasks and let's me vibe when I need to relax.

It's an easy answer really. I'm removed

At least for me is like this: If I have weed, I'm smoking the shit out of it all the time. If I don't have I really don't care and could be months before ever thinking on buying.

What a portrait of primate anger it is.

You at the demonstrabely false claims competitions:

Jokes aside, I can smoke once a day, once a week or once a month, it doesn't change much, it'd not like your beloved alcohol

It's not chemically addictive. Honestly people should really pointing fingers at smokers. Majority who smoke know the risks. Sugar is far more dangerous yet and they add it to everything. Weed on the other hand can help the majority with far less side effects then prescription pills. I'd take an edible or spray any day. Although it is far more fun to use a bong.

Good meme but honestly when do you see an angry smoker? Even if he breaks his piece, worst that happens is a bummed high.

I smoke weed every day to keep my mind calm. It helps with the anxiety.

I think part of it for a lot of them is they smoke it with tobacco too so it's just as addictive as regular smoking anyway

If you're trying to argue weed isn't at least a wee bit addictive, you've clearly never smoked it any actual length of time. I love weed, but let's no kid ourselves lads.
