MARIJUANA ANONYMOUS

[Mr. Nevermind]

Has smoking pot stopped being fun? Nope!

Do you ever get high alone? Yes or with my girl, i dont smoke in large settings or groups

Is it hard for you to imagine a life without marijuana? No , its just a plant

Do you find that your friends are determined by your marijuana use? No, i find friends based of similiar interest, MJ use just happens to be one of them. if youre an asshole and use MJ I'll still think youre an asshole and not want to befriend you

Do you smoke marijuana to avoid dealing with your problems? No, it just makes the problems funnier.

Do you smoke pot to cope with your feelings? No, my feelings are the same high or not. I sleep to cope with stress

Does your marijuana use let you live in a privately defined world? No, its illegality makes me be more private

Have you ever failed to keep promises you made about cutting down or controlling your dope smoking? No, my MJ use has never been an issue so noone has asked me to cut back. most cant tell if i am high or sober most times so if i am high they cant tell and dont mind. But i tell themi am high and they are surpirsed

Has your use of marijuana caused problems with memory, concentration, or motivation? Yes, but at the same time age also decreases memory so age may play a part as well in memory. I can concentrate and i am motivated just fine

When your stash is nearly empty, do you feel anxious or worried about how to get more? I grow so im never empty.

Do you plan your life around your marijuana use? No, i plan my life according to dreams and desies. MJ just comes along for the ride. Like me driving, MJ is my passenger

Have friends or relatives ever complained that your pot smoking is damaging your relationship with them? No, in fact i think that Mj has brought me closer to most.

Not to get to deep, but from the Buddhist view, is that happiness is the natural state of mind, the way things are. It is identifying with the actions or things we aren't that cause unhappiness. In other words, things can't make you happy, real happiness isn't temporary.

So people buy the big car, drink, do all these things to make them happy , and get surprised that nothing has changed. Until they change.

So, I enjoy many things including smoking marijuana, but I don't think that they can make me happy. That gives me the option of being happy no matter what. Rainy or sunny, alone or with friends etc.

I think that if people are going to become addicts they will just grab whatever is around. It's the motivation for the action more than the action that determines the addiction. And the sad part is, addiction causes unhappiness.

I have alchoholic friends who suspect anyone who has a drink of being an alcoholic, I can live without having a drink. I really enjoy growing and smoking, but if I don't have it , I don't miss it. I have other things I enjoy equally.

I have had an addiction in the past and I did it even when I hated doing it.

Pot is really hard to get addicted to , but if people can become exercise bulemics, why not pot too?

We are all different and hopefully can be there for each other when we make mistakes.

I love your answers Grat3ful H3ad!!!!

I'm not sure about addiction causing unhappiness (i realize that might sound strange)..
I think "addiction" is just a natural reaction kind of like an immune response....everybody has the potential to become an addict if they are exposed to certain substances a certain number of times.....of course the mind is very powerful and a bit of prayer will get you through the withdrawl symptoms from hard drugs.....

What i really think is that Cannabis should be "used appropriately".....now you must decide what the appropriate dosage is and how often you should use......some chronically ill patients must smoke many many times a day for pain management purposes......from what i have heard, these people are in such severe pain that they don't really get "high" so much as they get temporary relief from pain and suffering....

As you get older you will grow to understand your relationship with the Cannabis plant......if you feel like you cannot stop smoking or like you have to smoke right when you wake up or you can't face the world, well then it seems obvious that it is time to examine your relationship with the Cannabis plant......am i right here?

guineapiggin' can you dig it?

Happiness is nothing more than a certian set of chemicals in the brain in certian ratios...
Whatever means one uses to achieve this specific brain chemistry called happiness is your drug...
Be it a substance, a religion, a relationship, solving problems, growing a garden, Running, weightlifting, or whatever... if it causes mood altering changes in brain chemistry, imho it is a 'drug' in a broader sense of the idea...

That seems closest to reality in my opinion...

Mr. Nevermind makes excellent points also. The real problem is what you make of your life and how you find a balance in your own life. Everyone loves to point to the herb as the cause of problems, when the herb is merely the solution. If you hate your school and your job, herb will not make it better. You need to find the place that makes you happy, and the herb will compliment it. Life is too short, use the herb in your pursuit to achieve happiness...make fun of life, make light of problems, you won't take them with you anyway...if you feel like an addict and have a problem, then maybe there lie deeper issues...

[Pythagllio]

Has smoking pot stopped being fun? No, but it's only been 29 1/2 years since I started.

Do you ever get high alone? Sure do. what's your point?

Is it hard for you to imagine a life without marijuana? Yes it is. It's also hard to imagine life without my flush toilet. Again, what's your point?

Do you find that your friends are determined by your marijuana use? umm, you're kidding, right?

Do you smoke marijuana to avoid dealing with your problems? Marijuana laws cause 99% of my problems.

Do you smoke pot to cope with your feelings? umm, no

Does your marijuana use let you live in a privately defined world? wtf?

Have you ever failed to keep promises you made about cutting down or controlling your dope smoking? not a chance. Though I'll get back to you if I ever make such a promise. Please don't hold you're breath while you wait.

Has your use of marijuana caused problems with memory, concentration, or motivation? no, actually it helps greatly with the latter two choices. While memory is adversly affected, it is not so profound that one cannot compensate for it. I don't know that I'd know the definition of the word mnemonic were it not for cannabis.

When your stash is nearly empty, do you feel anxious or worried about how to get more? What does that mean, 'stash nearly empty'?

Do you plan your life around your marijuana use? Sure. Because of it's illegality there's no way to consume cannabis and not make adjustments to your life. Once again, what's your point?

So now that the Grand Pooopaas have determined that you are a marijuana addict.

They should take the quiz and replace marijuana with either thier wife/husband,money, etc and they will find they have problems in those areas of their life too.

I guess the point is, is their really a functional family? We are all dysfunctional in one form or another.

I think the stupid poll doesn't differentiate between a habit and an addiction. I have a habit of leaving my shoes in the living room. I am not addicted to leaving my shoes in the living room. I have a habit of smoking a joint after dinner. I am not addicted to smoking joints after dinner.

Basic.

I have the same 'withdrawl' symptoms when my wife goes on one of her week long business trips as when out of cannabis.

 

[naga_sadu]

Has smoking pot stopped being fun? --- if it stopped being fun i wouldn't be smoking it still

Do you ever get high alone? --- Sometimes, just as I eat alone.

Is it hard for you to imagine a life without marijuana? --- I don't know and I don't care to know. Is it hard to imagine life without a toothbrush

Do you find that your friends are determined by your marijuana use? --- No

Do you smoke marijuana to avoid dealing with your problems? --- No, it helps me analyse more...the root cause of the problems so that I can fix it.

Do you smoke pot to cope with your feelings? --- Not anymore but even when I did, if the "feelings" were positive, mmj made it better. If they were negative, I analysed why I'm feeling that way and rectified the root causes.

Does your marijuana use let you live in a privately defined world? --- If this was pre 1989, I'd be smoking openly on the baazars. But alas, it's illegal. So, the Ghat sections will have to do.

Have you ever failed to keep promises you made about cutting down or controlling your dope smoking? --- Why the fuck would I make such a retarded promise?

Has your use of marijuana caused problems with memory, concentration, or motivation? --- No, quite the contrary. The motivation thing has been an issue when I was in a setup I didn't enjoy, but I worked around that, and so, no problems w/motivation anymore

When your stash is nearly empty, do you feel anxious or worried about how to get more? --- No, the bhang shops are never out of stock And neither is the Western Ghats

Do you plan your life around your marijuana use? --- No, but it's part of my everyday life just as is shitting. Just because you shit everyday don't make you a shit addict.

Have friends or relatives ever complained that your pot smoking is damaging your relationship with them? --- No, because when my comrads and relatives were growing up:

1. My country allied w/ "Crazy Ivan" and the Soviets didn't force our country to illegalise herbs and

2. Doctors' salaries were fixed and so they couldn't print out phony surveys simply to attract more patients

So...

No bullshit propaganda about it

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you may have a problem with marijuana --- if answering a 1 page survey could decipher a persons problems then why the fuck do they make you study psychiatry in med school, full time for years?
