i have recently quit using cannabis (prescribed by my doctor) cold turkey after 14 years of fairly heavy daily use, it has been a couple weeks now and i have yet to experience any of these nasty symptoms you mention. in fact it has been quite the opposite. only mood change that i have experienced has been that I'm in a better mood more often.
it is a walk in the park. its literally harder for me to cut carbs
i think if there i someone in your camp with these symptoms there is more in they're system then just grass.
somehow i don't think narcanon or addiction centre has the most unbiased and accurate information by the sounds of things
its comparable to huffington posts knowledge about firearms and the people who love them.. all nonsense

No, they pretty much leave us alone. I've accidentally left my wallet on the dash of my unlocked truck a few times and no one touches it. A couple of years ago a few fishing rods and an outboard motor went missing from docked boats, but that was quickly shut down. . Generally around here, most things are dealt with "in house". In a town of 200 people, everyone knows everyone. No one tolerates trouble(like in many other places).
This! i strongly agree
its all in the mind of the user, all one has to do is break the routine and occupy yourself with something else.
Agreed. The reported "addictive" properties of cannabis are really a dependency issue which comes from the mind and habits of the user. While I acknowledge some users have had a difficult time giving up their habit, this is not at all the same as physical addiction.
"The Ontario-based Cambridge Times has reported that former Conservative MP Gary Goodyear is vice president of research at Aleafia Total Health Network.
As a parliamentarian, Goodyear spoke out in favour of Harper's tough-on-marijuana legislation."
Seems the liberals aren't the only ones cashing in on soon to be legal weed. At least the liberals aren't two faced about it.
Your list is nothing more than cherry picking names to support your claim. The fact is many people from all sides of the political spectrum are getting in on this. As are many people who aren't politicians - for instance the Tragically Hip own a 6% stake in a company, and that 6% stake is worth $39million currently.
Its your wording lol. Plenty of members smoke Pot on this site and don't consider themselves junkies, no more then the guys that enjoy a drink consider themselves alcoholics.
Other then that, I agree with you. I don't want anything to taint the hunt. I prefer to be sober the whole time and take the whole experience in.
I have a friend, nice guy, hard worker etc...but he is a different person when smoking pot..to the point where I dont want anything to do with him when he is high. Obviously pot affects everyone differently, but I can say from personal experience that pot is NOT for everyone.
I took over a 'wild' *ssed rig crew in a 'Texas camp' in Grande Cache some years back.
Pot was not the problem...it was smoked, a movie was watched...bedtime.
The alcohol was a problem. Fights, no sleep, no respect for property.
These are problem people that I'm tasked with keeping under control. But it seems as though we are judging by worse case scenerio.
Worrying about recreational users of marijuana is much ado about little. Sort of like a 2-3 beer a night fella... you are worrying about a very small deal.
News to the non smokers though...calling a recreational pot smoker a stoner or blazer is kind of a dyck move.
"Most of us hate something we don't understand..."
You are just coming across as a bit of an 'Unpleasant individual' .
It is something that will need to be addressed. Superbrad.. .you are doing OK. Some folks on both sides ought to read your posts again...
Because you don't understand it doesn't make it wrong or you right.
I wonder if of sports will find this topic as divisive as shooting...

Pot, like alcohol, can become a crutch for some people, not for others.
Pot makes most users be more "inward" and creative thinking.
Being a musician myself, I've read at least a hundred autobiographies and biographies of famous musicians,
and I can tell you that most of the music we listen to was created and recorded on one drug or another.
Even Gordon Lightfoot said that when he quit drinking, he couldn't write songs anymore.
Many of the early country guys like Johnny Cash and Roger Miller were pill poppers,
lots of the early jazz guys were herion addicts,
the Beatles music changed for the better when Dylan introduced them to pot,
The Chili Peppers were hard drug users....
Neil Young and Willie were pot heads.
The Eagles and the members of Fleetwood Mac were coke heads,
most of the late 1960's rockers like Santana, Hendrix etc were using LSD etc. etc.
One of my all time favourites, Stevie Ray Vaughan was a coke head and alcoholic.
Clapton and Keith Richards were herion addicts
Choose your favourite musician and read his or her biography, you'll see for yourself.
Most of the great classic rock, hard rock, blues, jazz, country etc. was created while using one drug or another for inspiration.
Some drugs including Marijuana do have a benefit when used by some people moderately.
I've never seen people become mean violent idiots while using pot though.
The most stupid drug of all has got to be tobacco, all it will do is kill you prematurely.

I agree that it definitely affects people differently, I know or have known people that reg smoke weed that get productive after smoking and others that aren't productive at all. Same with alcohol, some people are social and friendly while others get angry and confrontational at the drop of a hat.
Personal experience tells me I'm more productive when I don't drink or smoke weed and prefer drinking over smoking weed anyway. I might drink a gin or two after the day is done every night for a month if I don't have a lot of pressing things going on in my work life, when I'm busy with things I might not have a drink for months unless it's a glass of wine at dinner. I can count on both hands the amount of times I'll take a puff in a year, it just doesn't work for me. I've never smoked cigarettes and don't care to smoke anything, weed included. I have no problem with people who choose to smoke or drink, especially if it doesn't negatively impact me.
So, does this relate to the high suicide rate among these musicians as well ?

Which ones are you talking about?
I can't think of any great musicians who killed themselves,
Lots of them died in plane crashes, some accidentally overdosed etc etc.
Many of them are still alive, or died of old age (granted,maybe not as old as they could have been)
Brad Delp, Boston's awesome singer is the only one who comes to mind, he had depression issues, nothing to do with drugs.
I've never heard of high suicide rates among musicians, where did you get that from?

Having HOT/Crazy wives more likely the cause than pot, but believe what you want.
