Guest · Guest

well... i won't read that whole thread, but i can tell you my experiences. i'm 24 and i've been addicted to marijuana seriously for only a few months but i smoked more than most people (mornings, midday and evening at least) and when i ran out and quit i began having horrible withdrawals including vomitting, dry heaving, EXTREME body temperature changes complete with sweat and goosebumps. it is an addiction and anyone who tells you otherwise is in denial... as i was.

Hi All,
Im a 20 year old male... I will be 21 years old this year... I started smoking pot since I was 15.... At 18 I became a "medical marijuana" user by lying to some corrupt doctor because california could care less about "the comapssionate act" and who gets a card.

Weed is quite possibly the worst thing I have ever done to myself. I dont care about what any of you say about how one can control themselves and smoke and be productive. If you smoke weed you will become a slave to the drug no matter what... I use to be "pro" weed... loved bob marley and the stoner life, I believed in it all... until I realized what a lie it was.

I barley made it out of High School, and when I turned 18 and got the most potent weed and hash/oil... and it got so much worse. I was a club card member for 2 years.... I spent all my money at the club, every single last dollar that I got, I gave it all to these so called "healing" clubs which I watched ripped off the same kids just like me over and over, and helped feed everyones addiction. None of them are sick... all just addicts.

Weed does nothing positive... it hurts your body and mind. It will make you a stone... that cares about nothing. It will drag you to a crowd of people who are just like you, addicted to weed. People who get high all day and talk about non-sense that you or them wont even remember. It makes you anti-social, it makes you not care about anything other than getting high, It makes you neglect your non-stoner friends and somtimes your family, and bieng a male, it makes you care less and less about girls even. It makes you eat when your not hungry, to the point where you gain fat. (Tests have been done where rats ate until they exploded because of the "munchies") The only thing that matters is having a sack, and if you dont, you will do anything to get one. If you dont get a sack, you are not happy, and its almost like torure.

The more potent the weed the harder your detox will be. The longer you smoke the more damage you do to your body. If you are a male.... your estrogen levels will shoot up, and your sperm gets damaged. (the #1 reason men are infertile is marijuana) Try building muscle and smoking... its impossible because your hormones are all messed up. It destroys your memory completley and I still wonder if I will ever get my short term memory back. It destroys your bodys cycle of releasing dopamine, and it destroys your hypothalumus, and pre-frontal cortex.

Now... you can read this and think Im wrong... or think its just me. I have lost 5 years of my life to this awful plant that I wish I never embraced.

Today will be my 4th day sober... I have had withdrawl symptoms that include: Lonliness, Depression, Felling Sick all the time, Insomnia, No apeptite, Terrible Nightmares, No ambition to do anything, Social Anxiety disorder.... it makes you hate yourself and your life.

I'm done smoking for ever... I have no money left, I couldnt even renew my membership to the clubs... and after decididng to quit and going through the first 4 days... I dont think I will ever touch this life ruining drug again. I have neglected and lost all my non-stoner friends.... and all my stoner friends dont even care to talk to me because I dont smoke anymore.

I wonder how long it will take to feel normal and repair what I have done to myself... maybe I never will. I regret everything I have done involving cannabis... and I hope that whoever reads this can understand that if anyone tells you otherwise... they are lying... and you will learn the hard way like I did.

After smoking VERY potent marijuana roughly 4 times a day for over a year it has been a week since I stopped. I am defenitely irritable but oddly enough I am tired all the time; without question more tired than I ever was (usually). Has anyone else ever experienced this? I find it odd as I was expecting the reverse to occur.

I started smoking Pot when I was 18. I started off smoking a J every now and then, Like on the weekends and stuff. Then over the years started to smoke more and more. I got to the point where I was smoking a half ounce almost every 4 days, just by myself. I would smoke threw a pipe, and stay high from the time I woke up to the time I wnet to sleep. Then my Dad passed away and I started tring to straighten my life up. So I desided to quit. I went like 3 or 4 days with out smoking at all. Then I got mad over something and and said F IT! got a J I had not smoked and broke it in half and started to smoke. Then when I was threw I went and sat on the bed. I started to feel strange. I started having short breaths, and felt my heart pounding very hard. I laied back on the bed. My hands, feet and the back of my head started tingling, my Mom called for a ambulance, They came and took my Blood preasure it was 230 over 201. They threw me in the back of the ambulance and got me to the hospital. They ran all sorts of tests on me and couldnt find anything wrong. I told them that I had smoked some MJ, and asked them if it could have maybe been laced with something. They checked my blood and found nothing but the pot. A guy nurse came in and told my it sounded like a anxity attack, he had when he was younger. I was put on blood presure meds and sent home. The nurse came up to me before I left and gave me some papers on anxity. I took the pills, read the papers and did what they said, And needless to say I stoped smoking. And drinking caffine and alcohol as the papers said. Well I was all better in a few weeks. I had not smoked in a few months and one of my friends was helping me do something and fired him up a J. I was smelling the smoke and started to get a contact and felt that weird feeling again. I knew what it was this time so I didnt panic. I went outside and took deep breaths and calmed my self down. then every thing was ok. Then never got around it anymore. That has been over 3 years ago and I am back to normal. No attacks at all. Every blue moon If I even suspect one coming on, I take deep breaths and keep my mind off of it and it passes. Once you know what it is it is easier to control. And if you panic it makes them worse. But I am glad that I have quit and am great now. Just remember though if you have anxity it gose away in some cases others it dont. I believe it is how you treat it, wheather it gose away or not. And anxity can cause heart attacks and strokes. So my best advise is if you have it dont smoke it.
