I smoked pot one time back when i was 16, I have no clue what the hype is all about. It made me cough,made me paranoid,and gave me a panic attack. I think though that it is prolly addiciting to some people. It is a drug.
I no longer smoke pot. I did all summer long, don't think it did me a darn bit of good in the long run. I don't really think it's addictive, just trading-off, didn't work. I think there was something in alka-seltzer plus cold medicine and robitussin dm in the 80's. Plop plop, fizz, fizz, all day every day for years. Robitussin, too. Guzzled that stuff. People were worried about me. I didn't give it a second thought. It was helping my allergies. Who knows???....=/
I smoke pot 4-7 times a week. I quit for 4-5 months with no withdrawals. I can take it or leave it. If I have it I smoke it. If I don't have it, I don't go insane look for more. I ran out of pot 4 weeks ago and haven't had the urge to smoke any since.
Oh, and I've been smoking it since I was in my teens.... Off and on.
That's just me, though.
Smoking pot was not my DOC, it made me want to go and take a nap. I am not good at the whole inhaling thing, never really caught on to that even when I smoked coke.
I do not smoke anything because I do not want to wreck my singing voice. I do not need a drug that is going to make me mellow, I want to feel high.
I smoke pot 2-7 times per week, then can quit for months with no withdrawals. I am of the school that pot is not addictive.
Just my two cents.
this thread is almost 2 years old
smoking can definitely be a psychological addiction i know so many people who have tried countless times & still can't quit
I'm a day late, too, but wanted to add a little story about when I first quit alcohol and painkillers 9 years ago (obviously i've relapsed since then): I decided that i would just have to settle for pot as my new drug o' choice--seemed like a relatively benign habit, and it's not supposed to be physically addicting.
Anyway, I hadn't smoked in maybe 15 years, and back then what was widely available was this really low grade Colombian and Mexican pot. ANyway, I eventually got a hold of some and man was it expensive! It also looked a lot different--real gooey and green--not dry and brown like the stuff i remembered. I went to see some live music and smoked a bit right b4 the music started. Then WHAMO! I was do darn high I felt like I was on acid or something worse. I became instantly paranoid (I thought i was dancing weird and that everyone was looking at me laughing...LOL!) and could barely stand. An for some reason, every subtle ache and pain in my boday was amplified ten-fold. I was incredibly uncomfortable. After maybe 30 minutes, i had had enough and went to my car and prayed for God to relieve me of the high...but of course I had to wait it out FOR HOURS!--it was excruciating!
Most of the pot these days is soooo strong-especially the stuff folks get around here (northern CA--all of it comes from the "Bread Basket" of Weed--Humboldt County). Anyway..that was the last time i smoked pot...

Im just glad someone else answers questions late like me. Im sure no one comes back and reads the damn things. If I posted it, I wouldn't ----only b/c I would have forgotten about it well before it went to page 2 lol. sad but true........so true.. have to LOL.
Anyway, I came back and read yours and I guess u read mine so at least we know its not all for nothing, a? haha
if u come back here again, have a great day, from me
sincerest wishes, tracy
used to smoke pot, never really a daily thing but after I had kids - no thanks. Makes me a bit paranoid. Would die if one of my darlings needed me and I was high. I would feel yucky if that happened. However, I don't think that pot is addictive, but that is just my opinion. My husband and I did when we dated and he had a lot before me and we both gave it up without an issue. He smokes on occasions around his brothers or certain friends. If the kids were away, I probably would b/c it makes me laught a whole bunch, eat even more, and want to have ***. Im so juvenile not to want to write the word sex. anyway, for that reason, my hubby would grow it in the backyard with directions posted around the neighborhood if I would on just any night. LOL LOL
boys......won't they just about do anything. hahahahah lol lol
poor guys.....lol

Mom, I have a confession to make. While I tried weed and really never liked it, I did smoke hash for about 3 years. I'm an Army brat and my family spent some time overseas and some drugs are really easy to get over there. This hash was from Turkey and the best way I can describe it is like weed with acid. But that was in my wild child days and I when we came back to the states, I didn't smoke it anymore.
Please forgive me.
Love,
Yogi

Hey girl....No smokee the wacky weed! Use to make me paranoid! My hubby was a big pot smoker back in the day! He every once in a blue moon smokes with his soccer buddies but very rarely. He gets this dumb shiteatin' grin on his face that drives me crazy but it actually does amuse me. I can tell everytime he is high! He is definately not addicted and that is one drug I can honestly say did nothing for me! Seems like it helps many here....I don't know if it is trading one addiction for another but I still have wine on occasion with my dinner....I don't think that I'm addicted to alcohol....a lot to think about!
Take care!
Marcie:)
I do not smoke pot! Never have, and I'm thirty:)

I don't smoke pot but my girlfriend whom is a real pill freak smokes it when she runs out of pillls. I think it makes her weird and unattractive! My Dr saide that pot is not physicaly addictive but mentaly.... if that make sence. I asked him the other day because my son.
Ill be 35 on sunday and have never smoked pot or done any illegal drugs just the ones from the dr.
I don't smoke pot I quit all drugs...........
thats great your lungs must love ya.
I had the pot addiction longer then pills I've been smoking pot since 13 years old pills only 5 years pot 22 years. that will be a hard one to quit I think because I like it so the pills is a new one . never had pain when I was younger. getting older sucks but thats the way it goes.
as i stated in my post...i have read alot of posts where ppl talk about smoking pot. i worry about the "trading one addiction for another" aspect of it...that's all.
huggs,
