Help I'm off my "meds"

[Griffin Lambert]

See, this is the bullshit I thought you were talking about.

Withdraws are bullshit?

[Jonathan Wylie]

From Marijuana? yes

[AshleyCrazSully]

cool, will do. thanks Jason!

The best advice I can possibly give:

Don't be around anyone that smokes herb, if possible.
Watching A team and movies and stuff to distract yourself is def the right direction. (May I recommend the 3 stooges on hulu.com?) Also maybe like... painting or doing something you like... I am painting right now so that is why that is my suggestions, but whatever some little hobby that centers you.
Also, train as much as you can but Jason is right, with one of your friends, or just wail on a bag for a while.

I have been smoking for just about as long as you have and I know what you mean about feeling... well, it just sucks to stop is my point. It will suck for a few days, but try, as much as you can to stay positive. If you have pets try to spend extra time focusing on them - my dogs helped me when I quit butts and I am using them to help slow down on pot. Best of luck to you and distractions distractions distractions are key.

Well I believe he means withdraws from marijuana cause it is mostly in your head depending your personality, lifestyle, etc. Most people don't experience withdraws at all I'll admit Ive never heard of someone having withdraws from weed this is the first time I hear it. Ive known people who also smoke for years but can still stop on the drop of hat for months and not have any withdraws , unlike from alcohol or cigarettes when withdraws CAN kill you (or so I hear plz correct me if Im wrong) but it doesn't mean you cant feel extremely uncomfortable when going without it for long periods of time but as for "harmful" withdrawals Im pretty sure its proven that doesn't happen with weed but it sure does suck ass not smoking lol that's for sure .

At least that's what I think jonathan means by bullshit (again correct me if wrong jon)

Ya there is a difference between "man this sucks" and withdrawals.

[Griffin Lambert]

You can psychologically addicted to non addictive substances.

With ALL due respect, I understand why someone would argue that withdrawals may not be the "right" word for trying to stop smoking weed, but you can have withdrawals from anything if that is your reality of it. If William is blatantly saying he is having a shitty day then I feel like your arguing on such a "splitting hairs" sort of thing as the correct word... comes of slightly antagonistic or sort of rude. I highly doubt you meant it like that, but I know for me when I am having a shit day and I seek out help from a trusted source and that source turns and says "suck it up" it is not only unhelpful, it makes me feel worse and hence, I will not go to that source again. Your words on this thread will make William think twice before turning to this forum for help again, which is kind of unfair if you think about it.

I guess I am saying, for the sake of those having a bad day, I would maybe try to choose my battles a little better. Do you really care if William sees not smoking as an epically hard thing to do - in fact I FIND it very hard to do and his making this thread is making me feel more like I COULD do it -- I guess I just wish that no one was fucking with William when he is having a crum-bum of a day.

True that.

And correction to my previous post -- it COULD make William think twice, I did not mean to Imply the negitivity of one person would affect William to the point of controlling his actions.

Well the thing is William is not talking about withdrawals and I acknowledged my mistake in thinking he was. He has indicated that his self medicating was suppressing something more than just a crum-bum day. Griffin on the other hand indicated that the symptoms William described depressed, rage filled, constant cold chills were reasonable symptoms of cannabis withdrawals which I proclaimed bullshit and I stand by that.

Idk I think maybe some of us (maybe jon) has seen people with real serious withdrawal symptoms from alcohol or methadone , which I just checked CAN kill you from withdraws, and doesn't consider minor withdraws like depression and moodiness to be serious or real after you've seen a family member or friend go to the hospital for withdraws.

But I agree Ashley that Jon may have been jus a little to harsh in his choice of words when fellow 10th planateer is asking for advice , but from the little time Ive been on the forums I can tell Jon is a brutally honest person and some people take it to heart alot what he says .In his defence though he is right most of time , he even said "it was a reasonable mistake" after william got mad.

William I no doubt believe you have real problems and weed must help a ton I feel the same , I think its pretty unfair that they only check for THC and not harder drugs when cocaine and heroin leave your system (or at least for piss test) in a weekend . someone can go and get super wasted the night before a test and still pass but if they take a puff on a joint 28 days before than you can lose so many rights its criminal.I bid you good luck on a tough 72 hrs , think of it like this smoking after a long break almost makes it feel like the first time smoking again which is awesome lol.
