I smoked weed laced with cocaine (without me knowing it) yesterday. That **** made me freak out and I wound up almost passing out in the subway station as the train was coming in.

Drugs are stupid, kids.

[QUOTE=Dj Yoshi]Hahahaha no. No your body cannot become chemically dependent on THC. You do get carcinogens in small amounts when you smoke weed, and there's still a form of tar buildup in your lungs, but it's not as bad, nor as lethal as cigarette smoking.[/QUOTE]
So is there a large difference in the feeling you get from weed and ciggarrettes? I know that it's definitely different, but would weed be worse to be smoked in public than ciggies?

the whole stoned and illigal thing comes to mind.

Ya know, technically anything can become an addiction whether its physically addicting or not. When someone builds a lifestyle around a certain something (drugs, alcohol, sex, violence - hell even video games can count) and it gets to the point where someone has a hard time pulling away from it or has no desire to ever leave it for something else, I would consider *that* to be an addiction.

It takes 12 days of doing something straight for it to become habit. It also takes 12 days to drop a habit.

Bull****.

Poor Sh!ntox

[QUOTE=Victor Van Dort]Yoshi, stop defending weed. You don't know diddly-squat about drugs so stop thinking you do. Also stop turning threads into flame wars.[/QUOTE]

o.o

You can't tell me you believe that's not going to cause Yoshi to eat your babies or something. Can you? :p

I know plenty about it. Trust me. You're the one who doesn't know anything and comes in posting his stupid tripe.

It does take twelve days to drop a habit. Good thing weed isn't a habit for most people. I smoked it everyday for a while, then dropped it for months, rinse, repeat. It can become addicting if you do it too much, but only mentally, and that's really just weakness. If you're very conscientious about what you do, how often you do it, and if the feeling you have is want or need, you can lick just about any drug out there. I've seen people who have quit heroin cold turkey...it's not easy, but it's doable.

Why would anyone lace weed with cocaine? It was probably just a strain you've never done before. Anyhow, good luck with the quitting smoking. My uncle smoked for 40 years and he quit not too long ago, if he can do it so can you.

It's rather popular, it's called Chronic. *shrug*

Fair enough. From what I understand, though, weed is very very rarely laced. Shintock, unless your friends themselves laced it, I doubt it actually was. If they did, color me corrected.

Some dealers do. I have NO idea why, but they sell it like that. It's stupid, I've been offered it before. You know because it's like 60 bucks a quarter...yeah...not paying that.

60 a quater is expensive? ok im not getting into weed dealing here..

but yes Yoshi, I'm not arguing with you about it. Your body can become chemically dependent on weed if you smoke it enough. Period.

Just like alchoholics man, it's the same story. Beer is not addictive but you can become addicted.

That analogy may not necessarily work...do you have any sources to backup the claim that you can become chemically dependant upon marijuana? I'm not disagreeing with you, but I'm not about to just accept it without a source either.

I'm not sure if you're willing to accept testimony from dodgy internet sources but... my friend has tried to quit weed numerous times. In those periods he couldn't get to sleep, so he had to start doing grass again in order to get to sleep within a reasonable timeframe.

DSM-IV has a dependency section related to Cannabis as well,...

Read up, learn stuff. You're not "Chemically dependent" at any point in time on THC. You may go through mild withdrawal which includes anxiety, loss of appetite, and lack of sleep, but honestly if that's all it takes to get over a drug I hardly call that addiction. But you are NOT CHEMICALLY DEPENDENT. If you were, you'd die without the drug, like alcohol and opiates. However you would never die without weed if you stopped cold turkey--people do it all the time and there's no recorded deaths as far as cannabis goes.

ZOOikes, I don't care what you think you know, you're wrong. Sorry.
