Marijuana Addiction              Reply to this Comment

Marijuana has fallen prey to the war on drug campaign by the US govt. Many of the wild claims made are based on unscientific studied conducted in the 1930's. Before you get to bent out of shape about someones MJ usage you should read some of the studies available on the web. Preferable University studies not Govt webpages or pro-legalization web pages.(both these are horribly slanted). You may find that the marijuan is not the devil weed that is has made out to be. Or you may find that it isn't the cure all for diseases from cancer to aids depending on which propaganja you have been exposed to.

Im afraid weed is addictive otherwise why would there be so many posts from addicts here, doh? Its not necessarily the weed thats at fault its more the combination of attitude and monotany that leads to many complicated issues in time, just how long you have is your own gamble, but why gamble with your life be it physically, emotionally or physchologicaly? You dont need drugs to be high on life and life is fragile enough! Think about it!

I need help              Reply to this Comment

I started smoking weed about a year and a half ago and I've been in it heavy for the last year. I do it about 3 times a day, especially when I wake up. If I don’t smoke or I do smoke, I always think about the plant. I was an A student in high school and I got into the drug in college and now I am failing all my classes because of it. This drug has messed up my mind and body. I have a hard time thinking and talking, even when I am sober, and I can only eat when I am high. I practically have an eating disorder now. For the last 4 months, I have really tired to quit, but I have never come close. As I write this, I want to smoke even though I hate it. It has ruined my life. I know people say it’s not addicting, but it is. I am 20, almost going on 21 and I need help. I’m close to my parents and I don’t know if I should tell them. We are pretty wealthy and I know they would help me but I’m scared. Please, I really need help! What should I do? I will appreciate any advice. Thank you

The power to overcome              Reply to this Comment

Our physical bodies can be subject to several harmful fcators. Among these, the addiction to a harmful drug is highly prevalent in todays society. One drug imparticular is marijuana; this drug is not physically addicting, but it is emotionally addicting. Hollywood and the media are constantly flashing images of drug use and abuse in our faces. Worse yet, in the faces of our young ones. These images make drug use seem acceptable; an act that will not be harmful to you. This is a false assumption. Marijuana and all other forms of drug use is harmful and will lead to a life of missery and strife. Currently, there are several institutions that attempt to facilitate the rehabilitation of drug addicts. Some of these institutions are effective; however, there is still a drug abuse problem running wild in this country and throughout the world. When all hope seems lost, I know of a way to overcome these addictions. It is not by our power, for alone we are weak; but is is through the power of Jesus Christ. He alone has the power to break the chains of drug addiction. All you have to do is simply say: Jesus, I can't do this on my own. You know my desire is to be free of this addiction. I give it to you. You said in your word," That if we ask anything in your name(Jesus) that it shall be done. I claim that promise in my life. In the name of Jesus I bind that spirit of drug addiction. Once you've sincerely petitioned the Lord he will break the chains of addiction. If you would like more information on this "chainbreaker" email me at youngtown88@hotmail.com I would be happy to hear from you. God Bless

My daughter is an heroin and crack addict              Reply to this Comment

Kristen...although I can totally identify with what you say about an addict having to quit for themselves, I just can't accept it as a parent. There must be something that I can do! I heard about a place in Brazil that has a high success rate and I am going to look into it. How can a parent just sit by and watch their precious gift destroy themselves???? I don't mean to say that you are wrong...in fact, you are too right. But, it is unacceptable and I can't just let it happen??? I need help from someone! There has to be a way. I am close to my daughter, as close as I possibly can be. She is in L.A. and I am in Florida. Not, much time can be spent with her, obviously. I tell her all the time that I love her and I don't judge her, I just try to laugh and remember good times. And the thought of locking her up kills me. I don't want her to feel like a caged animal. There are lots of parents that would say that I am wrong and that locking her up would save her life. But, I disagree. What is the difference between these two deaths? What is the difference between, being locked up and detached from the world and living in a the confines of walls and taking pills at schedules times and killing yourself with drugs? Isn't it about your choices? What choice do you have when you're locked up and your whole life is dictated by people in white jackets and your scheduled medication? I just want something that will work for my daughter. I have much respect for those who have weathered this disease and are making surviving day by day. What is that made them want to get better? And how can I get some of that for my precious Krystal? If anyone out there can help me, please reply to this post. If just to talk, I would really appreciate it. I can't be the only one who is dying inside watching their baby destroy themselves.

HEROIN ADDICTION              Reply to this Comment

Susan: Your daughter has to change her "habits" if she is to have a chance to quit the heroin. By habits I mean her friends, surroundings, and daily routines. She will NEVER stop using this drug if she doesn't leave her old habitats. L.A. is probably the worst place for her to be. Couldn't you get her down to Fl with you? Believe me, that in itself would help greatly to stop her. If she is actually addicted (physically) to heroin you could quite easily (and economically- about $500) put her through a rapid (2-4 weeks) seboxin detoxification. I hope this helps you as I have two teenage children of my own and my heart goes out to you.

Stating the obvious              Reply to this Comment

I am currently 22 years old and have been smoking pot for about 8 years now, and I can personally attest that the drug is mentally addicting. I know there are many that would say its not, and perhaps that is true in your case, but not in mine and apparently quite a few others. But some of your rationals are just stating the obvious, " You're not violent when you smoke, you just sit around ". Well yeah, that is true, but what the hell exactly is so great about just sitting around? Is that all you have a desire to do, sit around and be high? " Pot never hurt or killed anyone ", both statements are entirely untrue, while its probably not OFTEN that they hurt and kill someone, statistically speaking it has to have happened a few times by now, it doesn't hurt the user directly, it hurts those connnected to them, and in some isolated cases causes them to end up hurting themselves. Ultimately my point is this, addiction isn't a part of a drug, drugs aren't created with a teaspoon of addiction in them, ok? Addiction is in your *HEAD* and I'm sure we all know that everyones head varies at least to some degree. Basically neither side on such a debate is right, because both don't bother to acknowledge that all humans will have their own problems they will deal with, but a problem isn't something physical, it's mental. A *challenge* is something physical maybe, but not a problem, those only exist in your head. So do whatever you're going to do or don't do it, the only person that can really make any difference is YOU, not someone else, so quit waiting for them. Hope this helps some of you, even if it seemed a bit harsh. Just being real.

Drug problems have little to do with drugs              Reply to this Comment

---

A lot of people posting on this website seem to be just overlooking some simple details. Drug problems have less to do with drugs, and more to do with actual human problems. People that are using marijuana or any other drug to escape from their problems, are only running from their problems in the exact direction of a dead end full of problems. Drugs don't solve problems, they just numb you and keep you from having to deal with them. But remember, not having to deal with something does NOT mean it's not effecting you, it just means you're not paying any attention to it. Particularly in the case of marijuana, anyone visiting this site for help quitting should suck it up and get to it. Count yourself lucky that you're not addicted to cocaine or heroin, and stop smoking that stuff. It's not physically addictive, you just become emotionally and mentally addicted. I'll explain, when someone lights up and takes that first hit, they feel a surge of happiness, and they tell themselves " Well I'm happy, and if I'm happy its because of the weed. ". They tell themselves this more and more until in their mind, it becomes as if they ONLY way to be happy is to smoke. In actuality you may be miserable about it, you might not even LIKE to smoke anymore but you do it anyways, why? Because in your mind you subconsciously think that you cannot be happy without it. Think back to your childhood, back before you ever knew much about, or did any drugs. Didn't bother you too much then did it? Why? Because your happiness came from other things, you weren't concerned with finding happiness from weed, because you didn't even know what it was or what it was like. You can live without it, and with exceptions for some, you don't need rehab, you don't need jesus to magically repair you, or a signifigant other to help you onto your feet, you just need to quit making excuses, throw away whatever pot and pot smoking accessories you have, and NEVER look back. You can do it, but only if you belive you can do it. Don't say " Well I'll just smoke the rest of this bag and then I'll quit ". That's an excuse, if you want to quit do it RIGHT NOW. Not later. If you can't do it right now, then either you don't want to quit, or you're too weak to do it on your own. The best answers in life will always come from within yourself. Good luck, and be strong.
