Marijuana Addiction: Can You be Addicted to Pot?
It is possible to form an addiction to weed, although this belief isn't very popular. Most people think that it's impossible to have a weed addiction. However, drug rehabs all across America are filled with people who can't stop using it.
If you are addicted to weed, the drug is the most important part of your life. You use it every day, and every chance you get. You may feel strange without it, and you may even crave it.
Abusing marijuana long enough is what eventually leads to an addiction. There's no way to know how long it might take. Some can become addicted within a few weeks, while others may take years. Also, there are some individuals who can abuse marijuana their entire lives, but never form addictions.
People with weed addictions are often referred to as stoners or potheads. They are typically always high, or they're high most of the time. You can usually tell if someone is a stoner if they:
- Smoke weed when they're by themselves
- Use the same language other stoners use when talking about pot
- Smoke weed every single day, without fail
- Use pot before they do anything
- Don't cough when they smoke because their lungs are used to it
- Have the physical signs of a pothead- red, itchy eyes, laughing frequently, and speaking very slowly
Most people lump potheads into one group. However, there are actually different types of stoners. Some of these include:
- Paranoid Stoners- These individuals are always worried about how they're acting, or what may happen next.
- Klutz Stoners- They typically break things when they're high.
- Chemist Stoners- These people are always looking for new ways to get high. They may use dabs, or other forms of weed when they smoke.
- Contact High Stoners- They never actually smoke pot, but enjoy being around others who are.
- The Quitting Stoner- They are always looking to quit smoking pot, but they can't. They may be trying to get their lives together, but marijuana always calls them back.
The pothead personality is truly unique. They tend to be very forgetful, which goes back to suffering from memory loss. They may even forget what a friend told them just a few minutes ago. They are usually quite laid back as well. People tend to think of them as individuals who are "go with the flow" type people.
Also, stoners are obsessed with pot. This is what makes what they do a problem. They think about it almost all the time. If they're using it, they're making sure they have enough, or they're working on getting more.
