hi, im 22 and in Australia. Until a few days ago i smoked everyday. I work full time and have no problems with not smoking at work. But when i get home the first thing i go for is the bong. I started smoking heavily not long after i gave up cigaretes(6months ago). I used the pipe to fulfill cravings i had when i went out with Tabacco smokers. I now feel it is taking over my life. It is not that easy to get and i sometimes spend alot of time trying to get it. I smoke about 3 grams a week, which isn't that much compared to my mate who i regularly smoke with who has been smoking for a long time. I feel it is making me feel sick in the mornings and my mate says he gets sick too. So the big question i am asking here is " am I an Addict" "do I have a problem" or should i just continue getting stonned and enjoying myself. Right now i am craving. This is a major escape for me as I am gay and in the closet. Need advise from other smokers and ex-smokers. Thanks

Whether or not you are an addict, you will need to determine, it could be other problems or pressures. THC withdrawels shouldn't make you feel sick, they never did me. Sometimes it was hard to get an appetite. Pschological addiction was the hardest for me. I was a real jackass, especially in the morning. On the bright side, after about 2-3 weeks clean you won't think about it much.

Hey Guys,
There are some good discussions on Mary Jane, Pot, Weed, ect on this board. Go to the posts below and do some reading.
As far as being in the closet...why? If your confortable talking about it, that is.
I would think that in todays world, I would not be hiding my sexual preferences. But I have no first hand experiences so I could be wrong. I know a lot of Bi-sexual people both male and female and they are not worried about it at all. They have the attitude that it just opens them up to more possibilitis in life.
Peace
