Is marijuana addictive? Does it have any drawbacks?

[IAmNotAlpharius]

Is marijuana addictive? Are there any consequences to using it?

 

[Billy Beer]

That is fucking idiotic. Sudden withdrawal from alcohol can cause seizures that can (and have) kill.

Dude, don't know what the fuck you are talking about. Clearly.

I stopped cold turkey and had no problems.

Maybe I wasn't drinking heavily enough? It was only 5L of vodka a week for ~18 month. I say only because i've known of people who drunk more, for longer.

Drawback: it makes negroes play jazz.

How is that a drawback compared to what they're playing these days? You could probably power a small city off Miles Davis' spinning alone.

1) negroes
2) jazz

Semi-related: Ironically, many American jazz musicians had sympathies with Communist or socialist causes, but jazz was seen as Western decadence and repressed in the Soviet Union, the premier Communist country of its day.

Weed laws were pretty harsh in the old Soviet Union too, from what I understand. Good thing the average Russian male's life expectancy is like 60 thanks to widespread alcoholism.

Its an addictive
And you usually become a lazy faggot or an insufferable cunt who huffs their farts with bullshit "facts"
Worse case scenario become both at once.

Jazz is excellent and helped birth the best genre, prog.

The drinking you described sounds like student style drinking. How old were you? Also, how big/small are you? Are you non white? Basically all other races are really shit on booze, and whites aren't that great.

You drink enough, long enough, you'll get to the point, cold turkey is dangerous.

Funnily enough, I do like prog.
Jazz is atonal, discordant garbage, though.

The only thing more insufferable than pro-drug users, are anti-drug users. No, wait, they're both as insufferable as one another.

There was 5 years of student drinking, followed by 18 ish months of boredom drinking. I'm white, average build 6ft 2 with a 9" dick. My party trick was drinking every one else under the table. A Dr told me if I kept going the way I was, i would be brown bread in 12 months. He was talking shit and trying to scare me. I knocked it on the head anyway.

Yeeeaaah. Why was the doctor telling you this? Did you go to see the doctor about your drinking? You consider that, just maybe, the doc did shit you up a little, and that's why you quit?

You see, I've spent a lot of time talking to addicts. They are quite samey people. You get to recognise shared habits. Linguistic and otherwise.

A normal yearly check up as part of work. One of the questions is alcohol consumption. It was a mixture of things. The biggest was the amount of mixer I was using, which on reflection was fucking mental. It didn't shit me up, more of a "Why am i doing this? it's pointless". I was doing it out of boredom, so i stopped doing it, because it was boring.

What's this got to do with anything? It reads a little fart huffy.

And that sounds a little defensive. You said that will power is all you need. This is false. Certain stages of addiction, for certain substances, need medical intervention.

Your refusal to understand that... Well, that's an attitude I've come across before.

I'm not judging you, or anything like that, but remember....

The only mark you cannot beat is the mark inside.

I knew you were going to say it was defensive. I toned the post down from a more tongue-in-cheek "it sounds like you're addicted to the smell of your own farts". Maybe that would have been taken more light hearted?

Your refusal to understand that... Well, that's an attitude I've come across before.

Are you saying I'm an addict?

What in the name of Lucifer's beard are you talking about?

 

[Just Another Apocalypse]

Are you saying I'm an addict?

No. Merely you share certain behaviours.

It's a quote from William Burroughs.

 

[Billy Beer]

Quitting shit cold turkey is sharing the same behaviors as addicts?

Not the sharpest knife in the draw, eh?

He sounds like a fag

 

[Just Another Apocalypse]

I'm just a mong, there's no deeper mystery

Well... I guess that's that cleared up?

He sounds like a fag

He was. And a nonce. And he shot his wife. If he was around today he'd be Queen Lolcow.

Drugs are cool pot culture isnt

 

[Senator Armstrong]

No known physical addiction as such. As in, alcohol withdrawal and seizures, opiates and "flu".

Psychological addiction? You can get addicted to wanking, the slots, all sorts of things.

Consequences: Appreciation of jazz music, psychosis.

Cannabinoid Hyperemesis in heavy smokers, where they have extreme stomach pains and sometimes die, Serotonin syndrome too possibly.
