Yeah, caffeine is a bitch.And you're right, the withdrawal you're experiencing is mostly mental, it sounds like...an apprehensive"oh, shit, will I be able to get it again when I need it?"
Pot has had an effect on my life because it is part of my life. It has in no way ruined it of course, but has shaped some of my decisions in life because of its prohibition.
Stoney, I reckon the main issue with pot is for people who use it medicinally in an illegal and volatile supply and demand market. I know that if i have to suddenly stop, I go through a few days of anxiety. However, the symptoms that I suffer through caffeine withdrawal are far worse. Severe headaches, and a general confusion. With cannabis 'withdrawal', I just get an uncomfortable feeling for a few days to a week. Personally, I consider this symptom more to do with worrying about when I can get my medication again, because I know that If I have to stop for longer than three weeks, the symptoms of my depression start to recur; lethargy, an inability to do things because I worry about other things that must be done and can't start on any one task etc.
Now, if I knew that supply will be limited I would be able to cut back and lower my dosage over a week and there would be no 'withdrawal' to speak of. But then, in a perfect world, I would have a continuous supply from my back paddock.
Having said that, cannabis withdrawals should not even be classed as a withdrawal syndrome. Perhaps the term would be better described as a hangover, or even a 'lack of supply syndrome'?

I too consider pot a drug to be revered and respected.

your asking about MJ ruining your life, IMO its not the MJ but the head its going into. your actions and emotions are created by the big melon sitting on your shoulders. so the problem lies in the head not what your putting into it.

the fact that ones own mental state has everything to do with addictions being left out leads me to believe that one has yet to deal with addictions or understand addiction or mental defects. how can reading a article and no hands on experience be enough to form what is being presented as fact for all. hell years of medical research had yet to provide a cure. you can look at a person and tell all are different in many ways. this is simple observation. unless you are a neurosurgeon looking at a detailed medical history and brain scans how can anyone come up with a conclusion to generically cover everybody.

all addicts have underling mental or chemical imbalances. either chemically induced from mass use, or chemical imbalances in the brain that are environmental, or emotionally induced. one can also be born this way.

before blaming the chemical you take for the addiction, emotions, or action look at the chemical that is already there.

i have dealt with a chemical imbalance for my entire life. when i was a kid till 33YO, the doctors had no clues what was going on, they blamed my emotions and action on everything else. 36 years later they are just now beginning to get a grasp of how the brain works with these imbalances. much of it is still a unknown. i have had problems with jobs, relationship, law, school and drug addiction. after $10000 of rehab, and a few $1000 more in outpatient, they told me i was cured, but destine to relapse for the rest of my life. WHA WHAT? well they lied. the problems keeps coming. only after i had sat down with my family doctor and quit fucking with the specialist did we look at my brain for the imbalance. i have been on med for 3 year for the imbalance i have not even though about my past chemical addiction to cocaine. (which lasted for about 5years)

i now hold a job that has changed my life financially and emotionally. i dont take risks like i used to, the anger is controlled. i dont find myself with all the problem that just seemed to manifest with no reason like in the past. and been puffing the whole time.

edit
as a matter of fact after telling my doctor that the side effects where to much to deal with that i cut my dosage in half, i also told her the with the MJ seem to be doing just as well. her concern was me buying dope off the street that it might have other stuff in it. i told her i dont buy weed off the street (to often). she asked then where do you get it. i told her i would rather not tell her. she reduced my script, and even told me she understands that MJ has medicinal effects with my disorder.

In an indirect way it has.

I used to smoke with a friend who'd give me a fag after a smoke he said they give you a more intense high.

I did and now I'm hooked on tobacco I always want one after a smoke now and even when I'm not smoking.

WEED solved more problems for me than 50+ perscription drugs ever did.

weed helped or cured:
1. Under weight, i was actually under weight for the first 17 years of my life, until i got the muchies every day :)
2. Stress, i was a very stressed dude, due to bad grades and what not
3. Grades, weed actually helped me make my grades go from a 2.0 to around a 2.66 gpa :)
4. Wisdom, i have learned al lot about from weed, most of which i would never have imagined (about myself and life...)

AND THE BIGGEST THING WEED DID FOR ME...

It cured me 99% of my Chronic migraines. i have had chronic migraines since 8th grade, 3-5 migraines a WEEK!!!!!!

to the point where i was failing school cause i couldn't attend class, loosing friends cause i was knocked out from headache drugs.

Now i smoke 3-10 times a week and i only have maybe 2 migraines a month... :) NO perscription drugs could EVER do that, they would make me depressed, throw up, and other bad things

I LOVE WEED

Hey flatrider,
I understand the psychosis thing completely.
I actually just relieved myself of it.
The key is to be a bit more active (I started skateboarding again)
And take this godsent pill called ginko-biloba.
I felt a lot of relief from the overwhelming felling
that pot was consuming my life and I had a problem.
Helping my memory helped me understand my point in life,
and what I'm doing with myself,
as well as remembering goals and other things besides pot.
Improving my memory help me cutback, somehow.
I've cut back (only once or twice a day around 5-6 days a week! [mucho better then the 7-12 bowls a day, everyday])

The key is to realize that pot isn't the cause of your problems,
You control the things that happen in your life, present and future,
and whatever choices you make lead you to were you go next.

I use weed to "fill in" when im feeling depressed or when i havent really had a "good feeling". Currently being unemployed really blows. I find myself smoking all the time because there is nothing better to do. Without weed I would probably go insane from all this boredom... Thank god for Video games and weed!

marijuana cant ruin your life. you sit down, you smoke a joint, how is that going to ruin anything? only way it could do ANY harm at all is when you get the munchies and dont have shit to eat.

Look its easy as this :

You are a ignorant person and just wana smoke and do your own shit !

- But wait...... You have to make a living, give to the cumminity... hey jo... community is so important you wouldnt be living without it..

do something that makes you think you are giving to society and if ya aint giving then there no point cuz u know exactly what working ius... , smoke a joint whenever u can ! CAN ... . You'll feel better.. look i never quit, and i've made it to a point where i can say.. shit it was all just being a A-Hole.... not giving a shit thinking evryhthing should fall in to my arms.. hey it allways did, but i workd for that.. then i didnt i totally forget about working hard... now i am loving smoking weed and working.. its excellent...

cheers

thats the diffrence...



hope that made sense... i felt like i wasnt doing anything and was at a point that i realized i was to stoned.. its easy for ppl to say hey i started a job and shit.. but when your famly splits at 16 ( crucial stage here.. and it just fucks with ya.. well thats what ya call being a man )


lol so stoned.. anyway... look, u are the problem if anything.. if it hurts you, its the truth.. its only you.. and if u think its something else why u still doing it.. ?

hmm look i asked this question many times.. and well..

I can give you many ways that marijuana has effected my life in a negative way. Ive been fighting with an opiate addiction for a few years now. This is because opiates are equal to the greatest weed high times 100. And weed openened the gateway to this drug.

-anybody el's who is opiate dependent will tell you this.

come on man, its real easy to find something or someone else to blame your own actions on. take some responsibility for your own decisions. nobody could have made that decision for you to do opiates or MJ for that manner. you can package it what ever way you want. peer pressure, addict parents, abuse, depression, what ever you blame it on, it still come down to the fact you made that decision.

IMO until a addict stops blaming every body and everything else for there actions and start trying to figure out why they made the decision to get high. or why they still make the decision to get high. they will always be a addict.

i have never done a drug that i was addicted to the first time, and i have done most, and in all methods. it took quite a few before i was addicted. once i figured out what i was using the high for or hiding from, the problem was solved. i understand opiates are harder than most to clean up from.

its a decision, (ill get flamed for this) its not a disease. sounds like you been to a meeting or 2. im not just some outsider to this 5years it took me to decide never to do cocaine again. do me a favor and give this book a read. if you cant afford to buy it, i will mail you my copy. i am done with it.

i hope i dont sound like ass, your statement reminded me of all the bullshit i used to sit and listen to at a meeting. only thing worst than "i am a addict i cant control myself" was listening to a fellow coke head talk about the old days of getting high. ironic go to a meeting talk about getting high, no wonder i went and got high after the meetings.

If anything weed has positive affects on my life. I've got an anxiety disorder and weed is pretty much a miracle drug to me. (Not to mention it improves my guitar playing.. or perhaps I just think it does.)

As far as addiction goes, perhaps some can become addicted but I guess I'm not one of them. I just ran out of my last harvested supply and won't be smoking again for at atleast 10 weeks. (My last grow was a test grow, I plan on getting enough to hold me over between grows from now on!) Do I wish I had some now? Absolutely. Is it on my mind 24/7? Nope. During thanksgiving I remember thinking "Damn, I wish I had some smoke. Getting blazed and then eating 5lbs of turkey kicks ass!" but I hardly think about it more than I think about wishing I had some twizzlers right now (Damn twizzlers kick ass) or something else that improves my quality of living. And with all due respect, thanksgiving was made for weed. :mrgreen: :peace:

As far as it ruining my life via the law well that's not because of the weed. It's because of the government. Fortunately I don't plan on ever getting caught to begin with.
