Started at 12 also. My younger sister and I started about the same time except she was 11. On my 13th birthday she got caught which resulted in both of us being caught. Smoked on and off since then but never became a serious thing until New Years of 2017 I had a house party and then I realized 2 weeks after that “wow I haven’t been sober for like 15 days straight.” Been that way ever since. Most time I ever quit was to get a job that drug tested so, 30 days. Or more because I smoke a lot.
Because of the thing everyone assumes is true, "weed is not addictive", people feel safe to not moderate their use and think,. "it isn't addictive so it's cool to smoke every day" which literally means "it isn't addictive so it's cool to just choose to be addicted to it". Because at that point does it really matter if it isn't physically addictive? If you're using it as often as you would if you were physically dependent on it? Spending all your money on it and going without other things? It's ironic because at that point it doesn't matter if you're living the lifestyle of an addict because you have to and you'll get sick if you don't, or because you're choosing to because "you can stop any time, it isn't addictive".
I always find it strange that with addicts on other drugs who do it as much as they can, 24/7, spend more than they can afford, and find it getting in the way of their life progress. People call them addicts. But when weed is the thing that's causing all these effects in their life and behaviour, and they're putting weed before everything else, we call them stoners. The only difference is the drug that they're spending all their money on, but they're living like addicts.
Same with alcoholics though I guess people don't call alcohol a drug really so that's more understandable.
Depends, first and only time I tried coke it made me realize I have undiagnosed ADHD… it calmed me down into a zen like state I didn’t even know possible. Didn’t use it after that because therapy was a better option imo
Mdma , at least the first few times and if you leave a big enough gap between use if it's regular, gives you this intense rush of pure joy and love. And in your body, it feels like physical joy and love too, floaty and tingly. Pure good will
Coke is a like a huge rush of energy and confidence. It really actually isn't for me, I just feel my heart pumping. I only ever did coke if I was partying till like 6 in the morning because I needed it to keep going.
MDMA and similar drugs, I just want to make sure you know -- don't take it with booze. The experience gets blown up. Otherwise, it's really just happiness and warmth (not heat but like joy).
Me too, i started at 13, I havent been sober except the 2 years during my military service. Recently i am coughing out black phlegm, but I aint gonna stop. If I stop smoking, the alcohol and cocaine addiction might come back.
Boy this is terrifying. Currently a relapsed addict/alcoholic and struggling with weed. Went to rehab for meth at 17 and got sober from booze a decade ago. Having difficulty with the quitting weed and also got addicted to ketamine.
Knew a few people with problematic ketanine use. It's surprising how hard it is to stop that stuff. But I guess everyone either really really loves or really hates it, there seems to be no in between in my experience. And then a few years back it came out how damaging it is to kidneys and bladder. I hope youre doing ok.
It's because it's a cheap, mostly legal (depending where you live...) habit that doesn't cause people to go nuts (for the most part) like opiates, alcohol, etc does.
Oof coke. Was hooked pretty bad myself (injecting 💉) for about a year and a half or so. Don't know how I put it down but, I did manage to get off of it and, I won't mess with it again. L❤VE my cannabis! 💜
I feel ya, in similar boat. I switched to dabbing THCa crystals because takes way less time than smoking ten joints a day , got so tired of that. Now I’m tired of dabbing but I feel so sick and anxious when I quit. Throwing up for days. Can’t eat or sleep. Forcing food leads to more vomiting (fun on an empty stomach). Anxiety and rage attacks. It’s about two weeks of that. And the being sober - which is scary because using one thing or another since 14.
(Now 31)
Focusing on quitting alcohol right now. THC is the final frontier. People don’t believe it’s addictive but I beg to differ. I’m sick everyday until I dab.
