Basically you should just naff off. What kind of advice/support is that?
It is not "a fact" that someone can stop something that has become habitual to them "in a heartbeat". Ever been pregnant? Thought not.
Withdrawl of cannabis can manifest itself in physical symptoms too (anxiety, isomnia, loss of apetite etc.)
Youre an idiot.
Calm down mate, and it would be really helpful if you tried not to be so judgemental. And while you are at it, you could try not using txt talk, you can find out why in the Good Manners Guide.
No, the opposite, I'm saying that for all you know she DIDN'T intend to get pregnant.
hmmn, I can't really tell what you're trying to say because your english is... bad but your statistic looks like bollox- source?
100% of assholes are holey butt cavities- true one that.
oh and scientifically, thc is not addictive, thats all im saying man
oh would murk u on an english essay, thats when to use writing skills, not to some poxy internet friends lol
also its not bollacks, its called sexual education. its not 100% correct but its not too far.
u people have anyhing else to throw at me? u people say im an idiot for my comments but after reading your's...well i guess u are too!
Love these kind of posters - makes my day a tad more funnier!
if ur reffering to me being weird then yes i am but i aint the one trying to make friends on the internet (im not saying u are either)
No, it seems you are trying to do the opposite.
And may I ask why?
Did you want to link to a scientific study proving that? I thought not. Cannabis like all intoxicants is addictive.
As for crack and addiction, there is no physical addiction of the type seen with opiates - however the 're-wiring' of the dopamine scale could be classed as a form of physical addiction, and it is precisely the reason why people crave the drug so badly.
The deal is I am one of the moderators on the site and if you don't follow the rules you agreed to when you signed up you will be banned from using the boards. That's what is wrong with that.
As for all y'all, lets not flame the newbie too much.
I agree. Perhaps you would like it dealt with the appropriate way, and report it? Arguing on here doesn't get anyone anywhere....
Personally, I don't think the term "addictive" or "addiction" is particularly useful. People tend to associate it with physical withdrawals, like with heroin. Most drugs aren't addictive in that sense. Crack isn't physically addictive in the same manner that heroin or alcohol is. However it can cause a very strong psychological dependence. When people quit using crack, they often think they have withdrawals, but they're not the same as withdrawals from heroin. Cannabis can also create a psychological dependency, but not as strong as crack does.
See, this is why the term "addictive" is not terribly useful.
This has done her the world of good, because she's reliased some of her so called friends wanted nothing to do with her when she was kicked out and she had no where to go (even her b/f wouldnt let her stay) this has been a wake up and has made her cop on and she said she's definately going to stop smoking hash, so my mam has let her back into the house, hopefully all goes well and she really has stopped..
Goood Luck
Sometimes it takes something like this for someone to make a change that will be difficult and frightening, but with your support your sister sounds like she will be ok.
