Ok, I know I'm going to sound like some ignorant punk to you guys in particular, but I can't help but ask,: How on Earth does ANYONE become addicted, or considders(sp?) themself an addict to Mother Natures little herb---pot? Marijuanna is all natural and medically shown not to have the same classification and chemistry as EVERY other drug out there. It's completely in a class of it's own. I'm currious, do anyone of you KNOW just exactly what 'addiction' is? Do you know what it means to be an 'addict'? I just find it so hard to believe that anyone would have to smoke pot continuously throughout the day/night just to 'make it'. Have you had to go to drastic extremes, "sell your soul" even, just to get so much as a 'roach'? Have you spent the last of your money just to re-up again? And when you're out, do you experience true 'withdrawl'? That means, the shakes, innability to wake up, get out of bed, not being able to eat, the irritability and easy set off to rage? Have you chosen pot over your family, like you would rather divorce your spouse and children over it? Have you spent endless hours digging up change from the couch cushions, pawned something of personal value, rolled a 'million' pennies just to get a buzz? Are you even, still, able to get high? Addicts lose the ability to get 'high', they only get buzzed, and for the most part, even though that great 'buzz' to most no longer exists, they still do it b/c they're body will shut down. Does your body shut down, unable to physically function just b/c you didn't smoke pot for 12 hrs? If any of you truly experience the actuall effects of withdrawl just from smoking pot, man, than that's a new one on me. This is a first for me to ever hear of pot addiction, and I am sorry if I sound ignorant to ya'll, I mean no ill-will to anyone, it's just that I'm shocked if people really go through the motions of being an 'addict'. I mean, it has been scientifically/medically prooven that the human body cannot, or should I say, should not become dependent of marijuanna. Again. I mean no malice to ya'll, I'm just currious. I really for for you guys deeply. It's ashame that something so mild & natural could actually put you through such a nightmare. I hope you succeed in your battles w/ addiction. Good luck to you!

Marijuana Addiction 
I don't really want to do that though. I have to face my addiction first. I don't really know when it was that I started to quit, but basically I found it pretty easy to get where I am now. About a month ago I decided that I was a pot-head. I told myself I was only going to smoke once or twice a week, then every two weeks. I had a smoke on Tuesday night (2 days ago), but it was over 2 weeks before that. It is really hard to just quit cold turkey, especially since we have at least 1/2 always around the house. I am not going to let myself have another smoke until December. It is just over 2 weeks. I may not even have one. I think I might be ready to just quit. 
Do it occasionally with friends, but not with my husband. I'm just babbling. I am glad that you have joined our support group James, we can use all the support out there. Good luck and keep us updated.
about all the time I "WASTED" being stoned how much more could I have lived if I hadn't been hiding out. 3 What about my dreams! I've spent the last 25 years drugged out no dreams now there here every night and sooo real Good luck with everything Jes It's nice to talk with other people in the same boat
