Hi, my husband is going through withdrawels at the moment after 24 years of smoking marijuana. He has tried to quit many times before but has been unsuccessful. He is experiencing stomach pains, irritability, insomnia and severe leg cramps, depression. I have been a social smoker for many years but have easily given up as I want a healthier life and most importanly I don't want my children to smoke and the majority of drug users children end up being drug users themselves.
I have already lost a couple of my friends who do not like the 'changed me', but I still believe that that loss is better then being a drug user.
Marijuana has caused many problems in my life, espically for my family as my husband has got to the stage were he was hocking our things to pay for his habit. I can't take anymore and if my husband can't stay of the pot this time our marriage will be over, as I have to put my children and myself first now.
How many chances do you give someone?

And if you think that having some risk of getting cancer from pot is "funny", you're a much even bigger idiotic and ignorant prick. yes, there are little chances of getting certain diseases like cancer, but LITTLE does not matter because the smallest things can become a big issue. I know there are kids who think smoking weed is "fun" and "good for you", and that's plain fking sht to even think that. Non users actually have brains and use them, and unlike them, users are plain greedy and selfish caring nothing but themselves and what they need instead of thinking about their family. Friends who use weed and other drugs are not even "friends". It's very disappointing that people care only about themselves and being plain ugly (and that shows ignorance and arrogance, plus stupidity and lack of common sense), but at least there are a lot of people than others who actually uses their brains and thinking ahead.

IT COST ME DEARLY
I started smoking when I was 17. Smoked for 8 years. My first Girlfriend started me smoking Marijuana. Afterward I used it because it made me feel better. If I was sick depressed, or whatever. It helped me make friends and I wonder where are they Now? Since I quit smoking many of those so called friends just disappeared. But That's Now Why I Am Here Today.
Smoking marijuana NEARLY COST ME MY LIFE. Yeah That's right I came to within an inch of my life's end because of it. Waking up in the morning and smoking nearly all day every 2 hour. I slowly built up a ToXiC level inside my body. Eveuentally after 8 years of chronic Smoking I had a sevear problem on my hands. Every three months I would have intense Vomiting & stabbing gut pains. This pain increased with food & water intake, making me unable to eat any food or drink water for up to 3 days, while the whole time I puked everything that went down back up. To the hospital is where I would be often end up. It was strange that the only thing which made me feel better was soaking in Hot Water, until there was none. The worst thing was that No One not even the doctors could figure out what it was. They were baffled. Unable to keep down my Seizure medication, would cause me to have Massive Grand Maul Seizures. Waking upon the floor with my head smashed & Nearly Breaking my bones. No one could figure this out. If it wasn't for the people looking after me I would have drowned in the bathtub.
Then we figured out what exactally what was causeing these gut pains and puking.

Since quitting my life has become a lot better. It's tough on everyone when your slowly killing yourself, while your family watches trying to help in vain. I know many people who suffer from this same sickness and they don't know why their sick. After seeing what happened to me even my Father quit smoking marijuana.

I'm ambitious by nature.. Marijuana use, and alcoholism by others is most definitely good for me, as it gives me the ability to get ahead of people who do either. Both are a crutch.. Anyone who "needs" a mind altering substance to relax after a hard day is weak, and has psychological issues in the first place. In any case, I hope they legalize it.. The more people who smoke, the less competition I have. More power to the hippies!

Like I said grats to everyone that has quit but it is still a person reason to use and shouldnt be pushed on people that need your help.

Obviously the people that have this "Addiction" to weed....aren't PHYSICALLY addicted to weed at all, But the psychological dependence on a substance, person, concept can just as easily be the culprit, ive probably smoked more weed in 4 months at an OZ a day then most of the "Addicts" have gone in years, Marijuana has been proven to not have any addictive properties because the 300 naturally growing chemicals in the plant do not have receptors in the brain to attach to and cause the addiction, unlike nicotine, cocaine and what not. So by saying your "Addiction" is caused by a dangerous plant that has been medically proven beyond reasonable doubt to not be addictive, your just saying that physiologically and psychologically their is something wrong with you

Hi,
I'm sorry, but I can't take any of you seriously. Yes, I suppose marijuana can be addictive - but only psychologically. Physical addiction is just not possible! I smoke overall for 15 years, but simply because I enjoy it. Before any of you say that I'm addicted, you should know that I quit for 4 years before, and only recently started smoking occasionally. Furthermore, it's not uncommon for me to have a stash laying around in drawer for 4 months without being touched - simply because I don't feel like smoking. Also, I'm about to finish college and am on my way to grad school; currently I hold a 3.75 G.P.A., on a 4.0 scale. Likewise, I have friends who smoke that are in engineering, law and med school - and all of them are doing very well. Lastly, in multiple studies, marijuana has been shown to shrink cancer cells. For that alone it should be legalized nationally.
Simply put, anything can be addictive if you allow it to be. Case and point: many people in the U.S. have eating disorders, and obesity is rampant, but does that mean that food in itself is bad?... of course not.
Please think critically before making blanket, generalized, and stereotypical statements.

Unkown, THC´s half-life is more than 10 days. That´s why you don´t feel withdrawals immediatly after quit.
You are addicted.

I'm struggling to understand how you come to that conclusion, as in my post I clearly say that I quit before; once for four years and more recently for four months. That's a lot more than 10 days. I stop whenever I get bored of it every now and than. Furthermore, a part of the definition of addiction is that said addiction gets in the way of one's social and professional life. However, I have no shortage of quality friends, some of which I know for more than 20 years. I also have good relationships with my family. In terms of my professional life: I'm currently a student, finishing undergrad and on my way to grad school; I have a 3.75 G.P.A. on a 4.0 scale. So how does your logic have any merit? How am I 'addicted'? With all due respect, your argument is flawed.
All that being said, I have no need to defend myself in front of you or anyone else; I merely wanted to point how people such as yourself perpetuate inaccurate judgments and stigmas on others. It's a shame really.

So, you smoke c**p weed, mid or even low buds. Don´t try high grade if you wanna be out of trouble.

It all comes down to responsibility, addicts are going to be addicts responsible people responsible. I would rather smoke a few joints after a hard days work to wind down and relax rather than drink some toxic ass poison. (alcohol)

That's because you are abusing with the use of marijuana. I'm smoking occasionally and I don't have any problems. And it depends of the amount of marijuana too. If you smoke big amounts and frequently, now this is not a good combination. By the way I'm smoking only on Saturday and NOT every week so you can try this.

Dear Ray,
I hope you are still trying to quit. I believe that marijuana killed my son. He smoked it all day and when he coughed it sounded like white noise. He yelled and screamed at me most of the little time I saw him, so when he coughed a great deal one day, I was not alarmed. He died a few days later from septic pneumonia. Now, I get to live with the psychological, emotional horror of grief. Please keep trying. mama

Liar liar pants on fire! Better check your drug reference before you make stuff like this up. You got marijuana mixed up with opiates.
