STOP DOING WEED.
this isnt a site to rant about how good weed makes you feel, this site has many 13-14 year olds on it and i dont think we need to encourage them by saying it makes you feel better, which they will conclude will make them better too. i suggest this thread be locked.

DONT DO WEED ITS A HORRIBLE TOXIC DRUG

[Sapphire]

Using drugs (legal or illegal) to cope better with life for sustained periods of time is harmful. It is when people do things like this that addictions occur.
I can see how it can help but improving your ability to cope with stress through meditation, exercise, planning and relaxation is infinitely better than to continue turning to a drug.

[Zazu]

I can relate perfectly, I used to use it. I also don't see any difference in the use of weed to help control your thoughts than the use of an illegal drug; cannabis has so many wonderful medicinal benefits but of course all that information is suppressed by the powers that be.

But, from experience, it's not a good idea to cope with any kind of stress / mental illness through the use of any kind of drug, illegal or legal as Sapphire mentioned above. The best way to repair your body is through the use of natural means; learning coping strategies, learning how to meditate and just generally trying to de-stress. Whilst I have no problem with adults using cannabis for recreational purposes, I am very much so against using it to cope specifically with any mental related problems. Whilst yes, it helps, it isn't really the best thing to use.

Have a look around the internet (Google is your friend) for natural relaxation techniques. They do a world of good.

Firstly before I even answer your original question.
1) Weed isnt addictive at all. Find me any type of valid survey saying it is and I'll consider believing you.
2) It can be a "harmful toxic drug" but only when abused. Smoking it casually wont harm too much. (even the long term medical affects are still questionable contrary to popular belief)

And yeh I can relate to this. I enjoy smoking weed because it makes me feel good. I dont condone it to other people and especially not younger children. I dont see it as a 'cool' drug but I rarely consider the way I use it a drug, rather more of a medicine. The only advice I can give you is dont rely on it, take regular breaks from the drug and for the love of god, dont smoke a whole amount of it alone. Share the goodness.

If you wanna PM me with any questions on how to cope or anything then feel free.

You must of never of smoked weed then. It's not possible to overdose on it. So it's not as toxic as you think. Think of how many people who made great things who used cannabis.

your right it has no addictive substances in it
i was either addicted to it in the past or was to dumb to be sober after my nasty shroom trip, cuz before that weed was fine for me to stop, after it it was super addictive, now its returning to normal for me, but if i do it heavily my anxiety gets worse, i have trouble controlling myself tho, i just need discipline i think

[2D]

Using it to cope is stupid. Using it for the fuck of it is miles better. I smoke with my friends every now and then but I meditate to keep myself calm and under control. I suggest you try something else.

Weed isn't a horrible toxic drug. It can change one's neuroanatomy and neurophysiology but relative to other illegal substances, its short-term effects aren't as harmful. As for the other users who you mention are 13-14 years old, if they read someone's experiences from weed and consider them to be worth while trying, that's their fault. At the same time though, there's nothing wrong with asking about a certain legal or illegal substance.

weed is not toxic it stiulants the growth of brain cell and you can not overdose on it you need to smoke and 5000 joins in 2 mins

[Strength]

you can only overdose if u smoke your own body weight in it..and not even someone like billgates has that much money xD

[AllThatIsLeft]

okay we all got that weed isnt toxic, let's stop quoting it, and keep on track folks. ;)

[Sapphire]

Caffeine addiction and an addiction to cannabis are different. With cannabis, it is completely psychological (not being able to cope with day to day life without using it) but with caffeine it is, as far as I'm aware, psychological as well as physical (not being able to function properly and having the shakes for example).

At the end of the day though, all addictions are damaging and the OP is on his way to developing one if he continues to use drugs to cope with life.

Tobacco is a drug, one of the most harmful and toxic legal drugs out there. It's been proven that tobacco is in fact a lot lot lot lot more harmful for you than some of the illegal drugs.

Cannabis does not cause schizophrenia, it can sometimes heighten the risk of further psychological conditions within people who already have underlying mental health problems.

I seriously hope you're joking as that's pure and utter nonsense. If you actually support your statement, find me credible, scientific articles supporting your statement, as what I've found before, the scientific community doesn't support your assertion. And it's spelled "schizophrenia". Just as a little taste, Howes and Kapur (2009) found that moving to different houses repeatedly has a greater chance of inducing schizophrenia than weed does. Certainly some drugs can increase one's vulnerability to schizophrenia, but weed isn't one of them. On a scale of 10, it's about a 2/10 at best. Amphetamines are about a 10/10, so that's what you may want to support if you're going to assert a certain drug induces schizophrenia.

Prove to me its not addictive and ill consider believing you.

Wake up to the fact that marijuana IS addictive

my oldest "step sister" smokes weed, has been for 5 years, she even sells the shit now, she wants to stop smoking it, but she cant

her body has already decided it has to have it AKA an ADDICTION

dont tell little kids that its not addictive and that it wont harm them

[teh crazy man]

stop smoking that shit.

i mean its ok to do it very rarely at parties and stuff (imo) but smoking it regularly... not good.

[Sapphire]

Ok, lets get this out of the way.

Cannabis appears to be addictive but nowhere near as bad as other drugs.
http://www.thegooddrugsguide.com/cannabis/addiction.htm
However, an addiction to cannabis can really damage your life and the risk shouldn't be taken lightly.
http://www.cannabisaddiction.co.uk/index.html

Using substances (or indeed something like eating and sex) to cope with day-to-day life is a risk factor for developing an addiction. Mental health issues are a big risk factor too.
http://www.camh.net/about_addiction_mental_health/drug_and_addiction_information/addiction_information_guide/addiction_causes.html

Thedudeman, to better cope with your anxiety, stress levels etc you should look into learning meditation, learning self massage, exercising regularly and other ways of relaxing.
Make these positive changes (of course allowing yourself time to get used to doing them first as it will feel strange initially) and you will be happier as well as healthier for it.

Weed is less harmful than any drug out there.

It is less addictive than caffeine and a hell of a lot less damaging then the legal drug "tobacco".

Weed abuse is less damaging than alcohol abuse.

But it isn't addictive physically. Rather all weed addictions are psychological.

Meaning if you think you need it to cope with something through weed then you will eventually convince yourself that you need weed.

It is also true that for weed to have toxic effects you must smoke your own body weight. (which has been stated above)

I also agree very much so with the person above who said: "Smoking weed for the fun or hell of it is safer than smoking it to cope with something."

I do not smoke weed myself, I just know the facts.

[Rutherford The Brave]

I do not see Weed restoring anything. It makes you giddy, it clouds your judgement and it makes everything so great. Smoking, is bad for you whether its weed or tabacco. So when you smoke weed and then say Oh smoking tobacco is bad for you, your beiing a hypocrite. Thats my problem, saying that weed is better for you than tobacco, ingesting any toxin into your body is bad. No matter what.
