What a paradox

[Guest]

The need to get high to ease the monotonous misery of the day is so strong - sometimes the vape starts up at 7:30 AM. Sometimes 10AM.

Yet then the high comes, and regret kicks in, because it just plain sucks to always be unsober when you have to socialize, or work, or do something other than melting into the floor listening to music, etc etc..

Sometimes the vape starts, then the day starts - it's now a baked day, and as soon as the day starts (contact with society and the outside world), the regret kicks in about getting high, because of the coming obligations of dealing with society...........it's like, ahhhggg man, I'm high, I just don't even wanna, I don't wanna deal with you people, fuck it, I'm never getting high when before I gotta do this shit again.

It's like either way it just sucks. Once you become this dependent on MJ, it's like a pit you wanna get out of but the other half of you does not and can't let it go.

Man, that feeling sucks. It's like a combination of addiction, avoidance of society, and a massive feeling of being anti-social (induced by getting high), all at once, and it's hard to break the cycle. Man, wwhat the fuuck.


That's all I gotta say for now.

jus only smoke weed at night or somethin , i dont see why u gotta wake n bake if u kno ur gonna regret it . If i know i got shit to do that day that i dont wanna b high 4 i wont blaze untill im totally done watever it is i gotta do. And honestly I always enjoy the first pile of the day the best , and id rather that pile be at night neways.

some good advice for you there journies. ^
When I wake n bake it sometimes makes me sluggish the rest of the day, and it pisses me off if I'm actually trying to get shit done. For example, I can't read worth shit when I'm high, it's like 4x slower than my sober reading speed. If it's gonna be a leisurely day though, hey...

for me the best high is always after i have accomplished something....long day at work... painting the house....or what ever.....buttttt like what what two said...if its going to be a leisurely day...hehe..oh yeahhh

all of the sentences i have in bold make this thing so paradoxical its ridiculous. you say you need to get high to deal, then you dont want to be high so you can deal. . .. . ok WTF?

and the words addiction and cannabis , medically/scientifically , cant even be put in the same sentence of reference to addiction. addiction can be caused by chemical drugs and opium and its derivatives. something like addiction to cannabis can only come from your personality, and if thats not true then i should have been addicted a long ass time ago.

weeks could go by and i dont smoke a thing and i do have a lil arthritis going on in my finger joint so ill use cannabis to ease pain and thats only when it flares up on me. also helps with the sinovalitis(?spelling) i had flare up on me a while ago aswell so, instead of taking localized steriod shots, smoked a joint and i experienced a speedy recovery. (and i didnt even need to shots really, just needed to flare up to go down so fluids/blood could get to the area). all im sayin is used properly cannabis shouldnt make one feel worse.

or maybe stop smokin that couchlock stuff and get with the sativas man!!! its like havin two in one if you grow it correctly.

That's the thing. It's paradoxical. Half wants this, half wants that, and they both clash.
And yes, you can be addicted to cannabis
And yes, every single addiction on this planet is chemical because we're chemicals
And yes, the addiction from cannabis is psychological (although withdrawl from heavy users can disrupt eating patterns)

Anyways, it's just a stupid addiction. It helps to write it out and get the helpful suggestions though, thanks all

Addicted to cannabis? Yes, the same way you get addicted to relaxing and orgasms... you can do without, but you'd rather not.

So, as far as severity of addiction, cannabis is a joke.

For example... I have not smoked for about a week. I smoke great herb every day, and it wasn't a big deal to simply stop a while. I've seen class A addictions, and those folks CANNOT simply go without for a while.

Oxycontin is a real addiction, percoset can be, there are lots of real addictions. Difficulty is relative.

If a person finds it terribly hard to stop smoking weed, the problem is in the mindset, not the THC.

This is my second day of not smoking, because I have a physical/drug test coming up for a certain job. Since I WANTED to do this, though, it's not a problem, as opposed to being dry and wanting to blaze.

Cannabis can be psychologically addictive, but willpower trumps all in this case. Opiates were a different story, but that's neither here nor there....I'm just glad I'm in one piece after that ordeal.

Cheers!

i havent smoked yet today. going to attempt a break for a a while.
i cant afford to smoke right now, and am switching the girls over to 12/12 tonight.

I know what you mean journies. I used to be just like that but instead i changed my schedule around a bit. So instead of smoking when i wake up and throughout the day i now usaully smoke at night like an hour or 2 before i go to bed. It feels good to be clear headed the whole day and when your home for the night you can just sit down relax and reflect on your day while smoking your bong,blunt joint whatever you like. You should try it out! But sometimes i have exceptions like when I'm hanging out with friends and we go to the cliffs in the summer to jump off and swim I'll smoke. I dont know man, Ive been a mid night toker for a couple a months and it will probably change once the weather gets better. Because when its warm and nice out I'm happy 24/7. I hate the cold...

Its all about attitude. You get high and adopt a negative attitude about things it wont be fun. Adopt a positive attitude and then go do what you got to do with a smile. Its all about attitude high or not! So now get over the lazy stoner thing and be strong and happy and take care of what needs to be taken care of with a smile. Period dot.

I guess I really just don't like being in the public realm while high, and that needs to stop. Tried it, didn't work, needs to stop, period dot. Thanks for the input

You know, it's just crazy how a couple days ago and up til a week ago I was in this completely different mindset, this complete pit, I look at the 1st post now and think "What the fuck?" It just takes 1 day of not getting high till the end of the day to make things completely turn around. And the thing is, this has happened multiple times.
