That pot isn't addictive in any way. It seems to be everytime I try to tell a person I'm trying to quit because of emotional and personal decisions they act like I'm some new kid from the block that never has done it. "Oh! Pot isn't PHYSICALLY addictive dumbass! You've never smoked pot you little wannabe!" Oh. Yeah. Because it isn't physically additive always means it can't be MENTALLY addictive.

I started when I was 14, worst decision ever. I used it as an anti-depressant, scared of the future, scared to grow up, scared to make important decisions... I turned to pot for every sort of uncomfortable emotion I faced. Everytime I've been off for more than three days I'd get shaky from the fact that I'm going to get some more pot to smoke, anxious to see the sight of pot, even downright cry for the joy I've found some pot.

Pot may not be some "physically" addictive but it sure as hell can turn into a emotionally dependable drug which is just as worst.
 
Seems you might need a little help there buddy.

I've never claimed pot wasn't addictive - I've seen tons of people hooked on it. The people who smoke it say they can quit but when they don't have it for a day they get all freaked out and turn into an asshole.
 
It's very hard to be able to make big life decisions by myself. Everytime I don't have it over 24 hours and I'm in school taking a test the one thing on my mind is the future. The goddamn depressing future. All day sometimes I tell myself how I'll probably end up killing myself at 18 because I want be able to succeed in life. Teachers shove down the fact you'll get nowhere in life without a college diploma. They tell how hard it's going to get and how tough it is in the real world. I'm frighten, close to the age where I'll be kicked out of the house. I'm scared to grow up because I'm not even emotionally balanced. I thought about joining the service but I gave up on that dream for the fact I feel as though it'll be too hard and that I'll never know as much as I should know. I feel as the only skill I have is grinding up that bud and pulling a pin.
 
You should really be talking to a school councelor about these feelings. Most of them would be able to help you in some way. If you don't feel like going to college why not try one of those job-tech courses where you take a few real classes while learning a job/trade?

There is no reason to sit at home doing drugs. Plus I don't really think you should be annoucing to everyone here you are doing things illegal.

The real world isn't like school and it has it's moments of being hard. But with enough friends and support life isn't really that bad.

Killing yourself is ignorant and stupid. All you do is hurt people who care about you. Even people you don't think would care if you died will care.

So uh...don't do drugs because they make you dependant and learn to enjoy school. Highschool was one of the best times in my life.

You make your life what it is.
 
I don't believe that I will really commit suicide or wish to, it just randomly appears into my head. I don't wish to have those thoughts nor do I ever want to. They just... appear. It isn't like I'm one of those whiney bitchy teenagers that think their life sucks because they got grounded for getting an 'F' on his/her report card. The only thing I wish would happen is that I wouldn't feel so useless all the time. I've been to a therapist and school counsler but they don't do shit. I don't bring up drug use with them because where I come from you'll get labeled right away and it'll be in your report. Teachers will spy and watch your every move... Which I'm not really want right now. I'm at that teenage age where I want to be away from everyone but it seems that all my troubles just come back and it'll follow me for the rest of my life because I'm so deep into highschool now that soon I'll graudate barely... My fate seems to be your local stockboy at Food Lion.
 
I haven't a clue about how addictive drugs are, because I've never used any drugs other than prescribed drugs and alcohol a couple of times. The only thing I can think of would be for you to try and wean yourself off of pot. However much you smoke in say a month, try and cut that down just a little bit. Also, I think exercise and healthy eating are meant to help you stimulate your mind in other ways; crosswords and puzzles are another good way to do that.
 
Well I'm not really out of shape because I'm always walking around town meeting with people and getting some connections for more pot. Also the average smoked in a month is about 3-4 onces
 
It is true that people can become mentally dependent on pot, and anyone who claims otherwise is seriously misinformed.

You should get some help, go to a counselor, get to a 12 step program, anything involving other people trying to help you will be beneficial.

Maybe instead of focusing on the future you should focus on the present, after all, what you do in the present makes up your future.
 
Exactly right.

If you don't do anything but stop smoking pot and start looking into the bright side of things your life will start looking up.

Don't worry I doubt very many people stay at the same job they were in while they were in highschool for most of their life. One day you will tell Food Lion to kiss your ass you are going off to do better things.
 
I used to smoke, and I found that it wasn't addicting when I woke up one day, thought about my future, and decided I wanted to quit. I realize you have an emotional addiction to the drug, though. What I suggest is that you find something else to get addicted to. When you start feeling down read a book, go for a run, call up a non-smoking friend, or like subtext said do some crossword puzzles or something. Whenever you feel like smoking just do something else. =/

I don't really know much about having difficulty quitting because I just quit then and there. I used to smoke a lot, too. =/

Anyways, good luck. :thumbsup:
 
Personally, I have no problem taking a puff and then going about my life as I normally would. However, I admit that it is potentially addictive and that you should try your damndest to stop using it. See a counselor.
 
Weed is in my opinion, very addictive. I smoked up way too much money. I stopped smoking weed six months ago and feel great in doing so. Although I have to say, the smell is incredible. People say that they concentrate much better while high, but I beg to differ. Statically I
