Addiction

ThePhanastasio · 07-13-2011, 11:15 PM

I drink and smoke way too much, and acknowledge that's a flaw.

Aside from that, I currently abuse euphoric stimulant and hallucinogens like they were ****ing food or some ****. I love them. Even though I od'd on cocaine when I was 17.

i'm not addicted to narcotics

i did however go on a drug binge (poppers, weed, dunno what pills, suspect alcohol) once and passed out in the park

I wish it was a multiple-choice poll.

I'm slightly addicted to alcohol and nicotine. That is, I can go days without it without having too much trouble, but I get the craving. I almost only smoke when I'm also drinking, but in the last six months I've been drinking so much (getting ****faced 4-5 nights a week) that I've also developed a nicotine addiction.

I've also smoked a ****load of weed during the spring, and I have a hard time believing people who say it's not addicting, because I go get a rather strong yearn for it, especially now that I've been without for three weeks.

It's not physically addicting, that's whats meant by it. You won't go through withdrawals from it like heroin, coke, or benzos, etc..
Psychological addiction is a legit thing tho.

Not so sure about that. When I gave up smoking pot I woke several times a night drenched in sweat. I mean I would have to get up and dry myself with a towel and change my sheets. Add to that flu-like aches and general crappiness and I'd say you have a physical addiction.

Tobacco is physically addicting. Marijuana isn't.

I wouldn't classify Tobacco as gripping people in a physical addiction.

i've never tried illegal drugs. i know if i do, i'll get hooked. that's what addicts do.

strangely enough, i don't like the taste and smell of nicotine.

does weed affect everyone the same way?
