I have allowed Marijuana to ruin my life.

your mistake is classifying marijuana along with actual drugs like cocaine and heroin.

that's like comparing apples to AR-15's...

I'm diagnosed poly-substance dependent, so I'm basically addicted to being fucked up on anything.

Addiction is purely biological. The brain is a machine. Some brains are genetically designed to enjoy being fucked on drugs more so than others. There are some people who hate having an altered state of mind even to the point of refusing to take pussy Vicoden while in intense pain.

Physically dependent means physical withdrawal (alcohol, opiates, benzos). All drugs are physically addicting to the predisposed because the brain is pysical. Willpower cannot overcome a physical ailment. You cannot will away cancer or MS. You can use willpower in an attempt to carry on living despite a dire fate, that's about it.

So you didn't allow marijuana to ruin your life. There was nothing you could do once you tried it; who hasn't done that.

My only advice is don't try anything else.

You paid a medical professional to tell you you like to take drugs?

i observed my thinking while on weed and without it
and these simple results speak for themselves:

1. with weed, i am self-explanatory (talking it over always - low conscience)
2. without it, i am pro self critics (brief, hard truth - high conscience)

may i just point out

its not "marijuana" that is the problem

dont blame the substance

you are the addiction.
you have become an addictive personality.

the channel will continue somewhere else. replaced with a new vice.

the substance is innocent.
infact its there to show you this.

i am in teh same boat, this is how i know.

Your doing it wrong!

Don't get me started about flora abusers.

Did you know that aspirin supposedly derives from willow tree bark?

Where did I set my coffee...

You don't sound like an addict as you are quite aware of what pot can do. In my experience potheads have no idea they have a problem.

in the garden of eden, you stay high all day...
in the garden of evil, it takes your "life" away...
420 blaze it faggots

If cannabis is your greatest problem, your life is pathetic.

You should be thankful it blesses you with something to obsess over.

(If reading that made you feel like a police officer... That's on you.)

Ok been one month, since my last bong pipe and joint. I was just the same smoked every day for 23 years. I stopped cold turkey.

No withdrawals no shakes not even a hint of wanting some weed.

My sleeping pattens are getting back on track my eating habits are good. I no longer have the little cough, I feel 100% better and looking forward to a much healthier life, Granted i never bought dope I have all ways grown enough for 12 months supply. I gave away over 2 pounds to a friend.

If you want something bad enough JUST DO IT. nothing is stopping you apart from you.

i wish you luck OP

look at all the pothead deniers


what does it say about someones life that they need to get high? recreational use is different, the occasional evening, but every day, in some cases, all day? you have a problem


its not the pot itself, although it probably WILL mess with your head, eventually, to some degree

it could be any addictive, MOOD ALTERING substance. aside from anything else, it renders you unfit to do a bunch of stuff, much like booze


it will be fully legal eventually, and with that, you will be paying tax on it

this is why grow closets and vaporizers exist

OP,your life isnt ruined :) were all just trapped in a strange dream.

I have heard that it is harder to rehab a pothead than with any other drug because it does something to the way of thinking that is almost impossible to turn around. That said, I love pot, but I don't want my life ruined so I don't do it.

Weed took me over, destroyed a lot of things for about five years. It literally takes over everything, then I gave it up and my life is 1000x better.

"this shit is like... all that's left of freedom"-kind-of-thinking, you mean

that's because it's not an addiction, it's a love

No, no, no.. WRONG TITLE

"I have allowed MYSELF to ruin my life using Marijuana."

Hahaha that's what I always said! :P
It's true. Had a long DAILY usage. Stopped instantly because I had to travel. No withdraws, no nothing! Yes i wish i had it sometimes but it's not different from when you crave certain food. I get over it pretty quickly, lol

I have never seen so many morons in a single thread.

It's amazing.

only the weak "let it ruin their lives", the strong survive and simply don't give a fuck 'cause they're getting high

You should check over here:

i have logged zi IP's

This dude hit it on the head. It's all in your head. I wouldn't go so far to say you ruined your own life though. Sometimes shit just happens to you and you don't know how to deal. Habit forming behavior then begins with ANYTHING that takes the edge away.

Yup.

This sounds like a bullshit sob story.....cannabis is non-addictive......

which is probably why the title of the thread is I HAVE ALLOWED... the guy isn't blaming the pot.. he's saying HE has abused it.

cannabis isn't the problem bro

I know I smoke a lot of weed because it makes me feel better, I have back pain, I have depression from social anxiety. The weed doesn't make me less antisocial but it sure does make me feel better about being myself.

just like alchohol, the key is moderation.

if you can't stand life, it's not the weed that makes your life unbearable, the weed makes an unbearable life more tolerable.

so the truth is that you need to get to the root of your problems in how you live this life. Get some therapy or a good friend to talk to who wont judge you and who might give you some advice or a new perspective on how your living.

the problem is you cannot understand yourself easily. Other people looking from the outside may see things about yourself that you cannot see. People have this crazy ability to be oblivious to things about themselves that other people see as obvious. Once you realize the things you hide from yourself you may be able to face them and understand why you are the way you are and then you can take steps to change your behavior, your habbits, your thought patterns.

change your mind man. It's easy, and it's hard.

exactly.

as hard as it may seem.
self forgiveness man!
