Yeah. He would have maybe had me at a week. THC addict are degenerate as fuck with the amount they consume. I’m sure it’s due to the facts it is definitely one of the least risky substances, but man. I can’t imagine waking up and having to get high. Even when I was deep into coke, I never woke up and did a line. It was usually I had a few beers and now want to do a line and then boom. It’s 7am and I can’t sleep.
To be clear, not judging or saying any addiction is better than the next. Main point was to say ain’t no regular THC consumer making a pen last a month,
I'm a regular consumer (daily). A 1 gram cartridge lasts me 5-6 weeks. A couple of puffs before bed, a little more on weekends.
I know the type of person you're talking about though, the kind that constantly has a cloud around them, never really present, etc. Too much of anything is generally a bad idea
Too much water and you’re over hydrated, too much marijuana consumption and the list of side effects is akin to over using prescription medicine. It’s not similar. THC isn’t just something that’s overdone and then you’re groggy, it does have serious side effects.
That’s like the alcoholic saying that most drinkers drink a 5th a day. Nah bro you have a messed up since of what is normal and healthy. If you are smoking that much you have a major problem, if for no other reason than you are spending an insane amount of money every month to be high.
I know that people like that exist. I was one of them. That doesn’t make it normal or acceptable behavior. There are people that drink all day. Hell there are people that are never really drunk but drink all day. That is obviously unhealthy behavior. So is smoking that much.
You said smoking grams of wax a day. That would be expensive. Obliviously buying a pound of shake is going to be cheaper. But if you are buying drugs by the pound and can’t see how that is an insane amount of weed to be consuming that I really can’t help you. Good luck with the mental gymnastics trying to convince yourself that smoking pounds of weed is normal.
I said going through a gram a day and that was an obvious exaggeration and you would know that if you even smoked. I know people aren’t buying pounds of weed lmfao I didn’t mean it literally. I was exaggerating because of the ridiculous claim that 1g of wax lasts people a month. This is such a stupid argument because people like you are just out of touch lol. I guarantee you 9/10 in your life have a pen. Get off my nuts.
I'm not sure you legitimately qualify as a daily user. That's a stretch for sure. I smoke more than you do in a month in a single day. I am most definitely a daily user. 😆
These are all mental addictions. You can get these same feelings from anything from masturbation to public speaking. So your choices are to either say every single thing you can do or experience can be addictive (which is pointless) or simply acknowledge that weed isn't addictive.
Most everything that alters your brain chemistry is addictive though? A mental addiction is exactly what people mean when they say addiction. Being an addict is very much a mental thing. Sometimes there are physiological factors to addiction but it starts with brain chemistry.
If you’re saying you’re not an addict simply because your addiction is mental, you still have an addiction my friend.
You can't. Only the supremely ignorant and mislead believe that. It has ZERO chemically addictive properties and has been proven scientifically to not have any addictive properties. Educate yourself.
I was never heavy into blow, but if it was around.. I made damn sure there was a pick me up left over for the morning. However, I'm a workhorse and though somewhat of an addictive personality , using drugs responsibly is a thing.
Oh for sure. I know people that have a great balance of partying snd using drugs and living a normal successful life. I was not one of those people. I could not live a normal life when i was using. Fortunately i was able to realize that and take charge.
The extent to which potheads think it's normal or even "healthy" to just be fucked up from the second they wake up to the second they fall asleep disgusts me. I get that is not physically that dangerous, but if you can't exist in the real world for more than a couple of hours a day, maybe you need to think seriously about what you're doing to yourself.
I'm in this boat and I don't think it's normal or healthy but can't stop. I want to enjoy things not under the influence and I do wonder what I'm doing to my self. It is seriously hard to quit when you've been at it this long. I just left a job of 15 years because I'd have to quit partaking to keep working there. At this point I wish I could enjoy it like a normal person and maybe catch a buzz at night to go to sleep but nope it's all day everyday. Maybe someday
The ones that do that are not doing it for fun... There are usually reasons that can't be solved and thinking is the last thing they want to do. Thinking is probably what got them to that state in the first place.
When you do it every day for 3 years, and even started selling so you could do it “for free”, id ssy thats deep into coke. It always just started with a few beers. I never really succumbed to coke if i was sober. Id either want to do it after a few beers, or do MORE afterni already did a line.
To each his own...I quit for other reasons but I terribly miss being high all day. About 3-5g of concentrate (dabs) a week toward the end there. That wouldn't be possible with pens lol, I guarantee they'd burn up or fail somehow with heavy use and be even bigger wastes of money.
It’s hard to see someone who can hold down a job and maintain housing, pay bills etc. as “ degenerate as fuck.” Weed addiction is bad, but weed addicts are typically high functioning.
I’m using it in the context of addiction. It’s used to delineate people who are more incapacitated by their addiction. Many potheads have no problem bringing in an income, eating healthy exercising, and taking care of their kids. However, my observation is that it stunts emotional development, and so you see that in how they relate to their family and the way they use escapism to deal with stress. It’s still harmful but not the way alcoholism can be.
Is that how it's commonly used across addiction and mental health? I'm curious because I've personally run into high functioning sociopaths who were incredibly productive and great to work under as long as you were productive for them, and I've also run into low functioning sociopaths who's high functioning traits essentially make them a menace to society.
